Four years ago, my wife and I participated in a ministerial exchange with a clergy couple from the Isle of Man. Not knowing what weather conditions to expect on the island, we packed a rather voluminous assortment of clothing. Arriving at our destination, our exchange partners assisted us in transferring our several bags into the manse. The following afternoon, our new acquaintances loaded their luggage into a car, which was to carry them to the airport. We were surprised to see that they each carried one suitcase! "Is that all you're taking to America for six weeks?" I asked.
