(July 7, 2014)
We tend
to think that we need to live our spiritual lives in houses of cedar. We want to be perfect, and free of iniquity
(an admirable goal). But we also want
the trappings of righteousness – the perfect calling, the perfect image, the
perfect family, the perfect history.
When these things are messy and difficult, we find ourselves feeling
discouraged or stressed. But what we
must remember is that while we should strive to build a spiritual house of
cedar, the temporal things (even important temporal things, or temporal things
related to our spirituality) can get along quite well in a tent.
