- what are the basics?
- why carry anything else?
How little could I reasonably carry?
Could I carry nothing?
What were the disiples to carry or not in the story when Jesus sent them out?

Carry Nothing
Of course the post below begs the questions:

Carry One Thing
I was out today planning to come home again before work.
Could I go right to work without going home if I needed or wanted to?
Oh no, I'd have to get my stuff.
What stuff??
All I need to do my job is myself. All other supplies are at my workplace.
The bag of stuff I always carry around because I might find a chance to get around to doing what I'm going to do with that stuff....
I never do of course.
New approach:
Other than the basics (wallet, comb, phone, etc.) and things I know I'll use (my lunch for work, letters I'll mail on my way there...)
I may only carry one thing. ONE. Carry ONE thing only.
Be free.

3 Easy Steps
3 Easy Steps to a more managable to do list.
1. Put today's date at the top of the paper
2. Write your to do list.
3. Add the words "The week of" in front the date.
In effect that's what I did today. I was quite prolific in writing my to do list. No writer's block there! If I can get it all done in a week I'll be happy. Maybe I should make that a month.

Keys
I reached in my pocket and pulled out a set of keys that aren't mine!
I'm sure someone is missing them. They've probably gone to a lot of trouble over their absence. There's a car key, the car's electronic lock/unlock thing, probably a house key, a few others that could belong to this or that.....you know, more or less the normal set of keys to our lives we all carry.
Whose keys am I carrying? How did I get them!?
They look enough like mine that I suppose I absent mindedly picked them up from somewhere they were laying, unconsciously assuming I was picking up my own keys. (Yes, I do have my own keys too.)
Where would have they been laying? Did I find someone's already lost keys? Or did the keys become lost when I picked them up?
I contacted people at the last few places I'd been. So far no one seems to be looking for the keys. Actually I think I may have even pulled them out of the basket we keep keys and miscellaneous stuff in at our house. Just pulled them out without looking at their detail and stuffed them in my pocket like I often do with my own keys.
How long have I had them? Could it even be that my husband picked them up somewhere? (Doesn't seem like something he would do.) Is there any other explanation for how they might have gotten into our house?
This is very strange. And I feel bad. But I don't know how to get these keys back to whoever they belong to.
It reminds me of stories I've heard about people who walk away from an event (or a bar) with someone else's coat. Same style, color and brand as their own....but not the same things in the pockets!....Yes, it was MY coat the keys were in....
