A church ?

This past weekend Mike and I decided to hang some pictures and other decorations. Some of these pictures that we had to hang are almost three years old. It was just one of those things that we wanted to do but never had the screws and anchors when we had a few free moments not to mention that we already had so many photographs and groupings of photographs and decorations on the walls that we were not sure where to put them. This all changed though when we got the new TV, which led to the need for a new entertainment center, which was a new size, which led to a rearrangement of the living room, which led to pictures and decorations needing to be moved as much of it was now behind curios and such. Anyway, last week I bought screws and anchors and yesterday we went at it. We moved some, decided to dispose of some old decorations,and hung many. I think that we are now actually done and I am so proud that everything has a place and I can now reclaim my bench and parts of the floor where things have kind of been setting for a bit. Imagine my surprise today then when Cindy slept yesterday, got up late to go to work the midnight shift, came in this morning , looked around a second and said " So when did our house turn into a church" commenting on all of the angel pictures, wall hangings, and decorative crosses that were hung along with the pictures. A church ? I thought, if only ! Have you ever been in a church with clutter in view ? I sure haven't.But my most sobering thought was;do we always act as is appropriate in church here ? I honestly couldn't say we did. Maybe this is a good goal for us .It surely would make life more peaceful. Just something to think about !
