Isn't it interesting how some of our stuff looks good on the surface but on second (or third) thought seems rather odd. Take, for instance, this really nice cross that our good friend Dan made for us. We like it and have it hanging in a place of prominence in one of our front windows. But when you think about it...a cross? Really? An ancient torture device is really quite an odd thing to put in a window. Or what about parents who decorate their child's room with a Noah's Ark theme. Really? Does a depiction of a cataclysmic tragedy of "Biblical proportions" really make such a good choice for room decor? How about the collection of German beer steins we have when neither of us really drink much beer? How much thought do we give to the contents of our house or does it all just kind of accumulate on its own? Frank Lloyd Wright once said, "Many people are little more than the janitors of their possessions." Maybe I need to get a mop and start cleaning.
