Time to start packing

Its Wednesday night, and I think that means it is about time to start packing the bags.
I know Monday is going to come rather quickly, especially when you throw in a busy few days between now and then.

This afternoon I even spent an hour shopping for items to take with me. There are always endless things one could take on trips like this, but while shopping I got thinking about our Luke 9 &10 readings. This challenged me a bit.

While I wont deny that I am going to be taking a few more items than the disciples were instructed to, I think that the words Jesus shared have been a timely reminder about an attitude of welcoming the hospitality and culture of where we are going. To lay aside our usual homely comforts and really encountering what it means to be a follower of Christ in Kenya.

So the question is...what will actually make itself into the bag.
