Traveling Lite

Ten years a young lady by the name of Kim Jones was killed as a gunman went on a shooting rampage at Wedgwood Baptist Church in Fort Worth, TX. Two months earlier she gave a talking on walking with purpose, in it she spoke of the need to be traveling lite. When the time came she was ready for that journey home, she had not allowed her life to get all cluttered up with the things of the world. Instead her focus was the things of Christ. Our lives are a lot like that, we get all cluttered up then we are stuck. That clutter quickly becomes the focus, and prevents us from doing anything else.

This week we will begin a series on How Are We To Live Today, and this is where it starts. We have to get rid of the clutter that has built up in our lives, does not mean that it is bad, but just like a house it needs to be cleaned out once and a while. Once that clutter is gone we must not allow it to get cluttered again, instead we need to decide to travel lite.
