PURSONALLY YOURS!

You can throw the whole weight of your anxiety upon Him,

for you are His personal concern.

I Peter 5:7 JBP

We respelled the PERSONAL, and when it became PURS-ONAL we knew we had an idea for a Retreat. Such fun exploring purses… Messages on PURSON-ality PLUS, UP CLOSE and PURSONAL, THE PURSONAL TOUCH….well, you see how it could be worked out.

Weighing purses, purse scavenger hunts, purse fashion show with flair, one church had each woman bring a good used purse and all were given to a halfway house for women.
Trinity Bible Church had a good friend who was a baker par excellent, and she baked a giant purse cake, replete with change purse, credit cards, lipstick and mirror.

Here are a couple of quotes

Traditional wisdom states, “You are what you eat,” and, “Clothes make the (wo)man.” But any chick worth her Premarin knows that the truer truism is “You are your purse.” We know this because we we have felt overwhelming panic at the thought that we may have lost our purse. This feeling is normally reserved for the possibility that we may have misplaced a passport or a child. In death, you can’t take it with you when you go, but in life you can take it with you as you go.

The Purse Driven Life


Our purses are a combination of form, function, and fashion. Sometimes it takes years of searching for just the right one that is roomy enough for our necessities without being too big, has just the right number of compartments, transmits just the right message about our classiness/funkiness, and looks good on us when we carry it. This is a distinctly female phenomenon. We ‘try on’ purses. This is why there are mirrors in the handbag department. A purse must look good on us. Notice that there are no mirrors in the guy’s wallet or backpack department.
