You know how one thing leads to another. That is happening in my home this week. I decided to move my dresser out of my bedroom. That required I find some new homes for things. No problem. I moved the hair bows, the girls don't need me to pick for them anymore. To put the hair bows in the back hall closet I had to move the birthday gifts. I decided the best place for them was in the storage room . . . Four closets later the things from my dresser are put away and my house looks like more than one tornado hit it!

This made me think of sin. While the children and I were running things back and forth to their new homes I talked to them about how a little thing I set out to do - I only wanted to put away some things - had grown to the point of disrupting our lives in nearly every room of our house. This is like sin. It starts so small we think it won't really matter. We think we can use a bad word just once and then never say it again, we are just like Eve. We don't want to believe that one little mistake can have big repercussions. Yet, one bite of the apple is disobedience and the fact is, the result of sin is far-reaching and long-lasting.
