Watch out!
Yesterday I thought I was going to the hospital, but Diana wanted to wait and go with Joe, so I decided they needed a night with their babies alone……thus I had no plans!
I went home, grabbed the book I am reading and spent a good hour reading, and enjoying the lake in the late afternoon sunshine! Go ahead, be a little jealous because it was GREAT!!
Yesterday one of the blogs I read quoted an article about removing clutter and getting organized. You might remember I sang the praises of the book “Getting it Done”. I jumped in their and organized and made my list and got an in-box as well as a tickler system going…..and then, you got it, I went right back to doing things the way I always did. But I am nothing if not persistent!
So today I am making a new resolve. I am going to remove clutter. I don’t think I can get organized without getting rid of a bunch of things that distract me. Some of these things are not bad in themselves but are just not good for me. This is not something I am going to do with JUST my closets….although I am going to do it to my closets….but I am going deep, deep into my life. There are memories, ideals and attitudes that I need to get rid of. There is a time to fish and a time to cut bait……I will be cutting bait.
Details will follow…..for now I am going to play tennis!

I'm in the same place - spring cleaning and removing clutter. That paper really builds up, but it's going in the recycle bin.
I just learned that the Holy Spirit helps us discern what is BEST for us - not necessarily bad, just out of everything in life, what is BEST!!! Cool, huh?
I love all your analogies, but this one might be my favorite. Although, the razor one was pretty funny you have to admit. :-)
I still struggle with all that--some of that clutter is hard to deal with!
When are the babies coming home??? They are so cute!

Tommy,
I think everyone who reads my blog understands about fishing and cutting bait...don't you all?
But NO! Of course you all are not the bait I am cutting. That would be like cutting off a life line.
