Back Home

After a week in Idaho, our family is happy to be back home! We helped to plan and participated in the wedding of my mother-in-law. Congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs. Pugsley!

One of the things that we did in preparation for the reception was to hang plastic sheeting from the ceiling of the building where we held the reception. The sheeting was meant to cover and hide much of the stuff that was in storage in the building. It occurred to me later that often our lives are very similar--we cover up things that might seem distasteful or inappropriate for everyone to see. While this is not a problem, the real problem arises when we try to do the same with God.

God knows the sin in our lives, and any attempt to cover it or conceal it is not only futile, but it often keeps us from being authentic in our relationship with God. Throw back the curtain and share your burdens with God--it will ease YOUR mind!
