what's in your yard?

I had a few minutes this evening after supper, so I thought I'd take a whack at some of the dandelions that have begun to pop up. I cleaned up all the sticks and stuff that the yard had accumulated over the winter last Saturday, and I didn't notice very many weeds.

Wrong.

As I made my way around the yard, I spotted those pesky dandy-lions everywhere. I sprayed nearly a gallon of weed-b-gone tonight. I couldn't believe how many weeds there were, and that I hadn't noticed them until I started looking.

Some time ago I started praying that God would show me my sin every day. I spend time looking through my "spiritual yard" so that I can eliminate the weeds that sprout. It's not always easy or fun, but it's absolutely necessary if I want to have a weed-free lawn--er, spiritual life...

Weed-B-Gone guarantees overnight results. I'm not seeing that kind of satisfaction in some of the sin/weeds, but you never know...
