ENGRISH

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!

Blessed are the pure in heart for they will see God.
~Matthew 5:8~
