Dressed up Garbage Can

Lindsey Lohan's substance abuse issues has landed her in jail again. America's Idol, Fantasia, allegedly attempted suicide and was unsuccessful. The best golfer of my generation, Tiger Woods,went from number one to multiple sex scandels. Terrell Owens has worn over three NFL team jerseys and battles abandonment issues related to his father. All of these people have fame and money. They are beautiful and hansome with many opportunities in their hands. The problem is that they are dressed up garbage cans. We all are in some sense.

No one wants to place their hands inside a garbage can. The garbage can is where we place our trash; things we do not want or things we want to hide. Sometimes people can appear to have it all together. So much so, that others may want to be just like them. I admire a lot of people, but I do not want to be a dressed up garbage can. I want to be renewed and whole on the inside. I don't want to carry around "stuff." Stuff becomes trash if not recycled. Look at yourself. What do you need to recycle and resolve? Are you a dressed up garbage can concealing your hurt and pain from the world? What issues are buried at the bottom? Its time to take the trash out; its time to clean yourself up from the inside out. If you don't, your pretty little trash can will run over and all your "stuff" will fall out for everyone to see. Empty the trash.

Have a sweet day,
