Though at first amusing then thought provoking, it quickly became convicting. How many parents have consigned thier children to the TIDWTDWA list? Perhaps unintentionally, but nevertheless setting out on the journey that proves "... a child left to himself will bring his mother shame." How many of us live our lives in disarray because dusting and mopping and piles and corners are too tedious to attend to? We have given ourselves over to the mostly vain pursuit of A-musement. A cancerous liability... yes, I believe I will turn off my computer and beg God's help in conquering the demons of irresponsibility and laziness. Then I will scrub my toilet.
