I’m taking some computer time this morning. David is at a band clinic for CPMS’s top band and in a little while I will be helping some friends move from their apartment to a new house that they bought yesterday. Packing up is tough to do. This is the first time I have packed my belongings with the philosophy that one day all this stuff will exist no more and that it all belongs to God.

Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away and there was no longer any sea. -Revelation 21:1, NIV

God has just loaned us all this stuff, most of which we really don’t need. And here I am laboring over every little trinket to move it up the hill 100 ft. That really puts packing into perspective and makes me want to drop a lot of it off at the 3 dumpsters we’ll pass on the way to the “new” apartment.

Besides packing, we have been thoroughly entertained by the cats these past few days. They especially like the tunnels created between boxes when we re-arranged the livingroom. We moved the furniture around to make more room for empty boxes so we could grab something and put it in a box (sloppy packing, but it is a rushed job afterall) … the cats like jumping in those boxes! I have a few pictures, but I have already packed the smartcard cable. The pictures will come a little later, then.

Wow, a half hour on the computer really isn’t a lot of time.
