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 #27: more clothes (t-shirts, unopened long johns, extra socks, ect...)
Reason: Just to get to the few items I use in my dresser drawer, I am constantly shifting and moving all these other items around to find what I need. Plus I found a couple more keep sake T-shirts that I will never wear that were kinda hard to part with.
Destination: the clothes will be donated to Samaritan Inn with the others. The The Samaritan Inn (The only homeless shelter in Collin County) sells these items through their 2 Thrift Stores. The proceeds provide them with funds to help keep their amazing program running. they also provide their residents with vouchers to get clothes when necessary.
Comment: These long johns are the funniest part. Over 5 years ago I bought them from Academy for a trip to Detroit I won to go to the SuperBowl. I had never really gone into snowy weather before so I didn't know what to expect. I bought these thinking I would need them and needless to say they are still in the package. What a waste! Hopefully someone will make good use of them.
