How Do I Stop Acquiring?
I was working with a client recently and part of our work consisted of purging out the house to ready it for
sale. When we finished for the day, the foyer was crowded with piles of books, household items, pillows, clothing and
a variety of other items. My client looked at the piles and made note of how much "stuff" he had accumulated.
"How do I keep from accumulating so much stuff?" he asked. I told him the best way to keep from bringing things
into your home is to say to yourself, "Self, if you really want that, then come back next week to purchase it."
99% of the time you will not go back! It will not be that important to you when it is not right in front of you.
Try this technique the next time you have an impulse to buy something!

Bahamian Time
I just returned from a week in Eleuthera, Bahamas doing construction work with the youth of
my church. We stayed at the Methodist Habitat in James' Cistern without air conditioning, and sometimes without
power. One thing I truly enjoyed was Bahamian time. You don't need a watch in the Bahamas. Everything
happens when it happens. One day my work group of seven finished a project and had to wait for paint to arrive
from the foreman. We had finished eating our lunch at about 1:00 so we found a few inches of shade to cool
off in while we waited for the paint. We talked, we threw rocks at cans, we laughed, we viewed the ocean, and we sat
quietly for a while. At around 3:30, our paint arrived, and so did our ride back to the camp. We accepted the
fact that the painting would get done the next day. It was nice to have a little Bahamian time.
