Trashed

I was walking out of Target one day when I was arrested by an interesting sight, so interesting in fact that I felt compelled to whip out my cell phone and snap a photo. The sight is hard to convey in a photo because it is hard to believe that one car could hold so much junk. This car had over a couple of cubic yards of junk food wrappers, soda cans, and empty drink cups stuffed in it. The only place not totally obstructed was the driver's seat. Personally, I would be afraid of taking a turn too fast and getting crushed in the resulting trash avalanche. I didn't even know that a PT Cruiser (or one of those lookalikes) could hold that much!
We often treat our lives like this car: we load them with useless crap till it piles up and obstructs our vision. Most of the things might have held meaning to us at one time, but now they are just empty containers. We rarely focus on the important things in life, much less our final destination. We rarely seek first His kingdom, much less His righteousness.*

*Matthew 6:33
