A few years ago Jessica and I joined “The Compact” which essentially means that for one full year we do not buy anything new.* It was a transformational year, a difficult year, and a year that changed the course of our future choices. We’ve recently decided to do it again. I will do my best to keep you updated along the way, but I also want to invite you to join in. You have no idea the amazing blessings that await you when you commit to doing this (especially in community with others!). You’ll find that you have more time (you’re not shopping at Target anymore), you’ll find that you’ve got more money (not buying quite as many pairs of jeans), you’ll find that you no longer have to worry about whether your children’s clothes were made by children (and other similar human rights violations), you’ll find that stuff becomes less important, and I’m sure you’d discover your own sets of fascinating and exciting things.

*We chose to include a couple specific exemptions. Shoes, underwear, shampoo, and a few others.
