So What About Minimalism?

First off, I have been a negligent blogger again, but such is life sometimes. The last month and a half have been a crazy time for me -- is there ever a time when I don't say that? However, I have finished assignments, added more to my workload, we have traveled and we have had guests, just about every weekend in the month of November. Truth be told, I am quite ready for life to return to normal, but I unsure what that means anymore. For the next year, my life will pretty much be a series of coursework and traveling.

But today, I want to write about something that I have been considering for the better part of this year: minimalism. What does it mean? Does it apply? Why or why not? This is a hot-button topic. And it is all the rage, like kale. (By the way -- ew, there is a reason it is used as garnish at the deli counter, partly kidding). However, just because it is currently an issue of our day, does it have relevance in the life of a believer?
