My Irrelevant life

Today, I read in the Bible about the children of Israel as they left Egypt.  Moses told them, that the Egyptians chasing them would be seen no more.  I liked that idea.  There are three reasons why I throw things away.  First, I get rid of things that are broken beyond repair.  Next, I get rid of things that are broken but cost too much to repair.  My last thing is getting rid of things that are now irrelevant.  This is when I upgrade myself.  When I upgrade my cosmetics, I get rid of every item for which I have found a better item to replace it.  There really is a life that I used to live that I don't have to live anymore.  I don't have to be concerned with where I am going to live anymore.  Some people love to strike fear in your heart by threatening you with the life you once lived.  I was in poverty as a child.  I am not in poverty anymore.  Sometimes, I feel the twinge in my spirit of that thing sitting right outside my front door.  It's like a cool north wind that sends chills down my spine of some impending danger.  I have to remind myself that even if I return to an old place, that place would have to change and I would essentially be in a different place.  Some places I lived and the way that I had to live there, are now, irrelevant.  These Egyptians I will see, no more.
