Cleaning my room (or desk, closet...) often ends up with coming across an object that makes me stop and think, Jesus, why did I buy that? It can be any number of things-- a hat, a pen, a book, a pair of shoes I haven't seen since I bought them, brought them home and put them deep in the closet. But the reaction is almost always the same-- why did I buy that? The answer of course is YOU didn't buy it-- THEY did. The guy you were that day back in history who saw the hat and thought for whatever reason it needed to be added to his life. Maybe what we're really asking is How could I ever have been the kind of person who would want something like this?
