Yesterday, we imagined what it would FEEL like to actually carry around a bag, or fanny pack, of everything we'd need for the day. Today, we're going to have to give our bag a good name.

All bags have them —  a zinger of a name or logo, that is. There's Gucci,

Prada,

Le Bag

(remember those? Not to be confused with another early 80s product... Le Car),

Under Armor (for the sportier types)

and so on and so on and so on. Our bag should be no different.

Consider Peacemaker Purse.

Or Heavenly Host Haversack

Or Omnipresence Pocketbook .

How 'bout Giver of Life Carryall?

You could fill in the blank with a number of beautiful names or slogans for that purse you're being mindful of this Lent.

Take a look at that Psalm 46. It gives me an idea of what I'm going to call my bag. It's a little long, but it's catchy. Psalm 46 starts out with, "God is our refuge and strength." And you all know what comes next: "A very present help in trouble."

Bag 'o mine, today I christen you "The Ever Present Help in Trouble Tote." Tomorrow we'll take our first peak inside.
