She went in great details over the benefits of using the many (unmatched) mini lazy-susan spinning trays ("for toiletries!"), pink fabric drawer inserts ("so cute"), drawer organizers ("for toothbrushes and toothpaste!"), etc. she'd brought with her. It was a bit obsessive-compulsive, but to each his own...
Yet, the suggestion that these props were a necessary means to an organized house (and an implied condition for the ultimate goal of pleasing God) struck me as ridiculous and laughable. I don't think God cares about the state of my drawers.
My drawers are immaculately clean therefore I have a ticket to heaven? Oops, sorry, I forgot... they are only clean because they are empty... and only empty because everything is strewn about the place.. but hey, my drawers are clean.
ReplyDeleteI wasn't the one implying that clean drawers are a ticket to Heaven. I just thought that God probably has many more pressing issues, with the state the world is in, than someone's organized house...You know, like that oil spill...THAT's a pressing issue.
ReplyDeleteI actually know that lady. She would have been my best friend's mother in law. Somehow we escaped that tragedy. Thank goodness!
