Clean.

i've noticed somthing today. i gave kathryn an early Christmas present (a ikea bedroom set). and now the bedroom is sleek (slick?). well, it looks nice. however all the mess of the bedroom is a trail that leads out to the living room where the mess finally died. and this is the mess that also joins the current mess outside of our computer desk here (as we are cleaning out that area as well).

makes me wonder how many times in our lives we "clean out" one section of our life and just push that junk (sin, stubborness, pride, envy, etc) into another area... and don't really clean anything up. we give ourselves a false impression that we are better off.

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. Be not wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord, and turn away from evil. It will be healing to your flesh and refreshment to your bones." Proverbs 3:4-7
