WORLD CLEAN-UP DAY

I was dusting my globe the other day when a funny thought occurred to me:

"What if I could clean up the world just like I'm cleaning up this globe?

What would that look like?"

My mind went to some strange places...from inhaling too much dust, I suppose.

If I could really clean up the world, I would:

• bring peace to the Middle East
• bring unity and morality to the U.S.
• provide fresh, clean water to all Third World countries
• provide healthy food to all communities
• clean up the air in China
• turn all guns into squirt guns
• turn military budgets of ALL countries into Education Budgets
• put freezer packs on the Arctic so the polar bears could exist
• seal all fissures under the state of California

Well, the list goes on and on.

I wonder what God thinks when he looks at the messes we're in. Does he wish we would clean up our act--take care of the earth and the societies he's blessed us with?

Perhaps that's what Heaven will be like: a truly pristine place where love, respect, comfort, compassion, and harmony exist. Most of all, there will be the very presence of God himself. Can't wait.

Meanwhile, I must continue to do some soul-searching about how I am responsible to clean up my corner of this dusty old world.
