Living Improvements

The dust pan went missing one time, and after a week or so, Mr. Bill finally replaced my humble yet faithful dust pan with a ... "good one" -- I believe that is how he described it. Now, the role of a dust pan is neither high or noble and when you consider a sheet of paper serves the same purpose, I haven't quite figured how one "improves" on a dust pan.  I thanked him all the same.

A righteous life is not a destination -- it is a journey.  The only way to improve holy and honorable living is to practice.  You've heard "practice makes perfect" -- 1 John 3:7 says, "He who practices righteousness is righteous."  There's no magic tricks, no shortcuts, no secret instructions -- just being obedient to Christ's precepts over and over and over and over without compromise.  The proof is evident in the choices we make, our behavior, and the image of Christ we reflect to the world.  And, all God's Children have room for ... living improvements.
