Things I need and other things...

Things I Don't Need:
  • 10 pairs of shoes
  • multiple jackets and sweaters (it isn't even cold in Phoenix)
  • the box of random electronics that sits idle in my closet
  • four tennis racquets...i'm not as Roger Federer as I think I am

Things I Think I Need, But I Really Don't Need:
  • my giant book collection
  • my car...walking+bicycle+bus+light rail= getting to 99% of the places I need to go
  • my snow skis and boots...they get used once or twice a year at this point
  • two longboards (skateboards not surfboards)...anyone want a free longboard?
  • In'N'Out Burger, Chipotle or Hungry Howie's pizza at least once a week

Things I Need:
  • enough clothes to get me through about a week and a half in a couple seasons
  • my bicycle
  • my Bible...I think I have too many of these in fact
  • my guitar...as much as I talking about wanting a new one, I just need this one
  • simplicity in lifestyle and in mind
  • to meet the people and remember the names of the people in my apartment complex
  • to find ways to serve the poor around me
  • to eat healthy, but not too healthy
  • the church
  • to figure out what I really need and what I really don't
  • to follow Jesus as closely as possible...i see this as the only viable option
