In order to maintain a capacity to be inspired, to be moved, to have room to love, to have resources to give and to have margin in our lives to accomplish what we are called to..... WE MUST CREATE SOME MARGIN FOR THESE THINGS TO COME ALIVE! This is why we have committed to remove 1 thing from our lives a day for a year. If it requires space, maintenance or time it is currently at risk....

EDP Item #21: wasteful food items from pantry
Reason: our pantry has been driving us crazy, as does pretty much any clutter that makes life seem more chaotic. Every time we would try to find a space for something new other items
Would start to fall of the shelves. We had too much crammed in there and today it was time to finally do something.
Destination: we had hoped to do something that redeemed the situation of having so much excess food; like gathering up a bunch of stuff to donate to a food pantry,.... but all we found was our wastefulness. Rather than having a bunch of non-perishable items to donate, all we found was a bunch of perishable, stale and unusable rubbish. (of course in many countries what you see here in these trash bags would feed a family happily for months.)
But here we call this trash and frankly I am embarrassed by it.
Comment: our apologies to anyone in this world who prayed that God would provide a basic need such as a meal. The fact is that God commanded that we feed the hungry and we disobeyed.
