I would even consider myself somewhat of a packrat, as I attach emotion to most of my possessions. But how important to put it all in perspective...that none of these things will last! When we die, none of these things come with us. We need to simplify and free up our lives so we have the TIME and ENERGY to spend in fellowship with other Christians, and even more importantly, so we can set a good example for the unsaved. Thanks you for this blog, Pastor Jim. I completely agree that we as poeope (especially Americans) are infected with “stuffitis”.
