To God Be the glory! Epistle III "Where are your dust bunnies hiding?"
We have to clean our cell about every other day. The jailers bring us the cleaning supplies and we have to do the usual: sweep, mop, sink, mirrors, toilets, shower, etc. Sometimes it can get pretty dirty in here. Toothpaste spray on the mirrors, coffee stains in the sink from mixing instant coffee, soap scum in the showers, (I won't mention about the toilet), and little clumps of fuss and dust and dirt all over the floor... Dust bunnies. If the guards don't check the cells, the dust bunnies build up because of a poor cleaning job by the inmates. We get lazy and don't do a thorough job of cleaning up the dust bunnies that find their way deep into corners and under the bed and under the tables, out of sight. Unless we're confronted about our secret sins in our lives (with the power of God's Word), they will build up in the corners and under the bed out of sight until they become overwhelming. Openness about sins/faults with an accountability partner is a good way to help keep the "dust bunnies" under control in our lives. Constant prayer and much time spent in God's word will help in answering the question: "Where are your dust bunnies hiding?"
