Take nothing for the journey except a staff.

No  bread, no haversack, no copper for the purses.
It’s difficult not to do things in half.
That’s the point of these verses.
They were to wear sandals.
But , he added, do not take a spare tunic.
We’re happy  just to hold candles.
But when when it comes to extremes we meet our Munich.
Do everything in moderation
Don’t give up everything .
We can still avoid damnation.
And let our faith take wing.
So we carry on with the card in our purse.
And indeed we could do a lot worse.
……
Just be moderate
In the exercise of faith
It is good enough
……..
See Mark 6 : 7-13
