We're taking it easy today on the front-end of a week's worth of "stay-at-home" vacation. There's still plenty of snow on the ground though we're in a heat wave of sorts with the temps climbing into the mid 20's for the next couple of days.The plan for next week is to finally tackle a project we've intended to address for the past six years: cleaning out and straightening up our basement. It's not like it's a total wreck or anything, but Karen's and my theme for this year is "Clean Out in 2009" and the basement is a wonderful place to start.
Our "Clean Out" theme isn't limited to just physical stuff...it's inclusive of our daily lives and our spiritual walk in Christ. It's time to get rid of the junk, lighten the load, clear some space, and remove the weeds blocking our path. We hope to look at every item, determine why we have it, and decide whether it or not we need to keep it. And if we're keeping it...for what purpose is it being kept? False hopes, old dreams, distractions, fears, and worries with whom we've become friends...out, out, out. It it's not moving us forward, it's holding us back. Out, out out.
Please pray for us in this process and, if you're ready, join us in it!
