This morning, we awoke to about 2″ of snow on the ground.

We have a two-car garage, which makes it very nice in the winter to be able to park in the garage and not have to scrap the snow and ice off the windows in the morning.
Of course, I’ve been lazy, and there isn’t room for me to park my car in the garage at the moment. Emily can park in the garage, but I cannot. My side has a stack of shingles, empty cardboard boxes, three different types of powered saws, a pair of saw horses and some other miscellaneous odds and ends. The thing I, I have known for months I needed to clean up the garage. It’s been on my mind especially over the past two or three weeks but yet I haven’t done anything about it.

I think this is like our walk with Jesus, sometimes. We know what we should do, but we keep putting it off, putting it off, putting it off until we finally come to the realization, ‘Huh, I really should have done this a long time ago. It would have saved me a lot of time, I could have done it more comfortably earlier and it’s not as easy any more.’

Wouldn’t it have just been much easier for me to clean up the garage when it was 60 degrees out instead of doing it tonight when it’s 30? Will I ever learn my lesson?
Or, will I not do it tonight and put it off again?

Have you ever been there?
