Man Purse

Yeah, I rock a man purse. I picked up my current one back in 1997. We’ve been through a lot together. For a while there I was lugging around a laptop case more than I preferred to. But at the end of the day, my man purse is everything I need. Especially with phone technology what it is these days, I can get by with out the lappy.

So what’s in there? First is my journal. I’m not a huge journal person. I tend to hit it with infrequent but long updates. Except when I am on spiritual retreats or in the wilderness. I jot down my thoughts and what God is saying to me. A foreign exchange student wrote in Japanese “This Is The Hour” on it like 9 years ago.

Next is the bible, lately it’s this fancy duo-tone setup.

I have two different business cards, one is the standard cardstock version and the other is a sticker book from moo.com. Those are for extra special people.

Pens, I rock what ever free pen I can score and a brown Sharpie. Brown is the new black.

The straps on the bottom are great for sticking an extra layer for chilly evenings. I have some kind of Adidas TechFit jacket that is lightweight and warm.

I also toss my camera in there when I need to. Along with my T-Mobile Dash, I can conquer the world with this rig.

    Dude, I love my Man Purse. Only someone completely confident in their masculinity can call it a “man purse.” :-)
