Why do I carry my bag across
my shoulder? So it doesn’t get stolen off
my shoulder or out of my hands.
But yuck!!! How much more unattractive could this bulky thing be. Kudos to
LeSportsac for making a bag for men that actually makes a woman look and feel
ugly.
As for cleaning, well…the dust in East Africa requires an
almost daily cleaning and this tightly woven nylon fabric resists that dust (or
at the very least attracts it evenly)…cuz ya’ll know I don’t like to
clean…anything.
The bag is certainly the perfect size for holding all I need
for a trek outside the home. Though, I maintain this is a man bag…NOT a purse.
I mean, look at this list of content…this is survival gear not girly gear.
Okay, I have a nail file but that’s it!
Water to prevent dehydration
Camera to capture the moment
Pouch with ministry money
Pouch with personal money
Pouch with toilet tissue, business cards, ATM card, and
flash drive
Notebook for pre-meeting prayer writing
List of things to do
Pen for recording expenditures
Hankie for mopping my brow
Copy of my passport
House keys
Insect repellant
Deck of cards for the wait, because we always wait
Though I know these are must-haves, I still can’t help but
feel really ugly when I strap this thing across my shoulder. Until I
remembered…Jack and Amy in action.
