Needful Backpack?


We're back from a little excursion to cabo polonio in central Uruguay. Tired and sunburnt we return to obligatorily resume the whole school... thing. 
I'm glad it's an obligation though. What we talked about today actually tied in to what happened to me this weekend.
While several students picked up their surf boards for surf lessons, I was filming and pre-occupied with joyfully documenting this thingy. I guess that was when my backpack was stolen. In all reality I didn't lose that much. The two things of utmost importance were my back up glasses and my bible. Other things along with those two items were in my backpack but I quickly figured out that all I really lost was my glasses. My back up glasses, mind you. My bible? I had an extra in my room. Yeah, I lost my iPod but that wasn't really something I needed. 
Today in my Luke class, we were going over possessions in Luke. We all talked about possessions and my backpack fiasco (haha) was mentioned. I mentioned how I really didn't lose that much. It then branched off into possessions; how we should have only what we really need. My philosophy was and still is that we need only the bare necessities life requires. It actually ties into many parts of Luke.
Anyway.
It's still humid, dreary and overcast here. Man, it's already March! And it's colder in TX/OK. Ha!

Welcome to the world of those who have had stuff snatched in Uruguay! I'm glad that you didn't lose anything too important.
