one of the interesting experiences i have had thus far in my journeys has been riding the overnight train to a neighbouring city. three-tiered bunk beds just wide enough for one person line the cabin and if you're fortunate enough to get a top bunk (as i was), you get to sleep all night half-afraid of rolling off and half-afraid of hitting your head on the ceiling. makes for great jet-lag aggravation. ;p additionally, you must sleep before the lights turn out at 9 and even more importantly, you should take care of any business before the night comes. otherwise, you're setting yourself up for a rather smelly, bumpy experience. there is not toilet to speak of. just a cubicle with a hole in the floor through which you can see the ground rushing past (and feel the wind too!). anyway, right outside of this "toilet," there is a garbage can. a sign with an arrow pointing down is posted just above it. "RUBBISH SPOT," it denotes. what a great description of the garbage can. what a great description of our hearts.
so many spots in our lives are full of rubbish. and it's only by grace that our rubbish spots are ever emptied and cleaned!
~Matthew 5:8~
