Garage Cleaning

After ten years of accumulated stuff it became obvious that the garage was in serious need of attention.  It is amazing how stuff accumulates.  It makes one want to believe in spontaneous generation.  It seems as though at night when there is no moon stuff must pop into being.  Usually it is useless stuff that might possibly become useful someday.  But eventually reality hits—the stuff is not ever going to be useful.  Then one can only hope the garbage man will carry it all away.

It is like that with our brains as well.  They too are often filled with useless stuff.  The problem is we cannot get rid of it as easily as we can the junk in the garage.  It seems that the best solution would be to keep filling our minds with quality material.  If one concentrates on good stuff, there will be no time to think about the trash and it will eventually fade away.

Paul said, “Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.”  Philippians 4:8
