We’ve done our part, right, former procrastinators? We’ve removed obstacles from our everyday path. We’ve designated homes for offending objects or gotten rid of them. But what if we live with other people? Isn’t a lot of that stuff going to block our path again? You bet! Some obstacles reappear on a daily basis. That…
This month, former procrastinators, we’re hitting some high spots, not delving deep. We’re removing physical obstacles from our everyday path. This paves the way for smoother operations and sweeter tempers. This week, let’s hit three spots that are prone to collect obstacles – the bathroom, pantry, and garage. Here’s our aim: Fix it so you…

Weeks later, we returned to find all our clothes had turned pink and green and fuzzy. Yuk. At least we were innocent that time. Now we are dealing with mildew for which we are responsible,…
Don’t you love it, former procrastinators, when somebody else talks on a subject dear to your heart? We recently heard a sermon on the ant in Proverbs 6. The Lord used this ant to wake me up about procrastination – hence, the ant that appears on this site. First, however, we vote this week. We…

Colossians 3:9-10
