My wife and I just bought a new vaccuum at Sears this weekend and boy does it suck!  Get it?  Ha-ha!  But seriously, our old vaccuum really sucked bad!  Ha-ha, again!  Anyway, some of you aren't laughing and I do have a point so let me get to it. 

When we brought home our precious new vaccuum cleaner home from Sears this past Saturday night, we immediately tried it out.  Now to give you a little context to my story, you need to understand that we had recently vaccuumed earlier in the day with our older vaccuum, but we finally came to the conclusion that it just wasn't doing the job it should be doing.  Anyway, when Robin finished vaccuuming the living room that night and showed me all the crap that was on our living room floor I was blown away!  I couldn't believe I had been living in such filth, yet was so completely unaware of it. 

Now, let me make a quick, spiritual observation (you guys know I like to do this).  My comfort level with the living room floor is similar to that comfort level many of you have with your lives.  For instance, I see all kinds of my friends (high school and college students, as well as others) living in such a filthy away, surrounding themselves with such filthy people and yet completely unaware of it.  You've just settled for a lesser life.  And while you don't see it, and think you're living the wonderful life, else sees that your life is going downhill fast.  And sometimes, I have to admit, I just wish I had this giant vaccuum cleaner and could just suck these people out of your life.  But all I have is my words and my example, and  I can only hope that one day my words and my example will be helpful to you at some point in your life, and that you would awake from the outright filthiness of your life.   

So the moral of the story is if your vaccuum sucks really bad, get a new one.  And if your friends are bringing you down and someone you love has pointed that out, listen to them. 

I love you all and may you all come to know the "huge" God that I know.
