Let the cleaning – Begin! In order for us to live a simple life – we need to un-clutter … Ecclesiastes 3: 6 says… (read the whole thing and pause in 6) a time to search and a time to give up,    a time to keep and a time to throw away, ___________________________________________________ People clean their houses during the summer… we will meditate on what the things that we need to un-clutter on… and what does the bible say about it. Throw away things that is not needed in your life… if the room is not tidy… clean them. Clean your car… and the desk in your office… Walk around your garage and unclutter… Pastor used to say… when we accumulate things, then we move them into garage the overflow… and when the garage overflows, then we take them to storage units, nothing but extension to your garage. While I was busy purging, cleansing, and uncluttering my external world (frantically grasping for the illusion of control), I completely overlooked the clutter within my heart, soul, and mind. How long had it been since I took inventory of my: negative thoughts? bad attitudes? selfish motives? manipulative tendencies? unforgiving judgments?
