Awash in stuff

[primsong]

Happy Father's Day to any dads out there!

As for me, I'm tackling the job of cleaning out some of the old stuff we still have stored in our church building, mostly leftovers from our grade school and am sitting here shaking my head over literally hundreds of uniform pieces. What the heck does a person DO with *piles* of khaki pants, white button-down shirts, sweatshirts, etc.... I mean, really? I haven't been able to find another school that uses the same colors and I hate the waste. Wish I could somehow turn them into at least a little money, we could really use it.

Also heaps of VHS movies and audio cassettes - no one uses them anymore, sigh... makes me feel old. I suppose they'll all just go into a rummage sale, unless we make rag rugs out of them. The clothes that is, not the vhs tapes, lol...

There are times I am grateful for an abundance of material goods, but this isn't really one of them.

Oh, I know it - we have a couple urban ministries and women's shelters to give to here as well. I can give stuff away all right, but I just wish there was some means of getting even a little money back out of it for the church, we're not exactly rolling in dough ourselves and it would sure be handy to be able to put it towards building repairs.
