life's a beach

John 13:8, Titus 3:5, 1John 1:7
When you go to the beach, one thing is certain, you will get sand & salt somewhere on your body. If you just sit in a chair, you might only get it in your hair & on your feet. But if you're like me at all, you'll at least have your feet buried in the sand and will rinse off in the ocean, becoming so consumed by your surroundings, that you will get salt & sand in places you didn't even know you had! So you rinse off in the little showers, which barely get the stuff off your face. It still stays in your bathing suit, on your feet, in your car, and possibly in your house. It's only when you wash everything extensively that you can get rid of the tag along salt & sand. For instance, if you take a good long shower, and wash every part of your body twice, but fail to wash your shoes or your car, you will likely get salt & sand on you without traveling to the beach again. After every trip to the shore, you will have to wash everything again.
Life's a beach. Sand is sin of commission. Salt is sin of omission. Jesus is the water that cleanses us.
