info_outlineWe have all encountered "stuff" in our lives. Over time we can find in our closets, garages, and attics that the stuff we have tends to accumulate and multiply. We are confronted with a simple process:
- Recycle it
- Repurpose it
- Remove it
- Keep it...and put it to good use
The same is true for our hearts! Over time we discover both good and bad elements that need to be examined and sorted - what needs to stay and what needs to go?
May this upcoming mission help us to look to the death and resurrection of Christ for the strength and wisdom we need to cleanse our hearts.
