Harvest Gold...and full of mold.

When I was little we had a harvest gold dishwasher. One day it broke...just stopped working, full of dirty old dishes. We just closed it up.

3 years later it was time to move. We opened the dishwasher up, and guess what? The dishes were still there and they were still dirty. Even dirtier in fact.

That's sin for you. You can close the dish washer but the dishes will still be dirty. Avoiding sin doesn't make it go away.

ouch.

How i wish that was true. That avoiding sin will make it disappear. It hurts so much sometimes to admit that we have sinned and to ask for forgiveness. What a wonderful God we serve that once we have admitted our sin and asked for forgiveness, that we are instantly forgiven and our sin forgotten never to be brought up again. If only life were like that. Love ya Gray

Yes Paul, we still have the dishwasher...when the Gillies moved they brought it with them and now it sits in the backyard and when we don't feel like washing some plates or pots then we just put them out into the dishwasher and that is where they stay....

Oh mommy. It's a metaphor, the fact that the actual dishes got left in the dishwasher for a few years is not (I beleive) an actual sin.
