scrubbing bubbles & jesus

Ahh, to be back so soon. With a monstrous headache might I add, but it shall not hinder my writing abilities. FYI, this would be a caffeine headache. Which means I am addicted to the stuff, mostly Dr. Pepper, and this is a problem. It's so bad for me. I digress; from the title you should know that this post is not supposed to be about my addiction to DP or my headache. Its about cleaning supplies and our Savior. A wonderful little simile for you...

My roommate (yes, the same one mentioned in my last post) and I were cleaning one night. And when I say night, I mean the middle of the night. We had talked about cleaning all day long, but didn't get around to it until 11 o'clock. Typical. Anyways, we're hardcore cleaning our house because we're about to hit the road for Chi-Town for the week and we wanted to come home to a sparkling little condo. So I took over the kitchen. I mean, I rocked it. Reorganized cabinets, scrubbed the microwave, behind the fridge; I was like a machine. My pet project of the night was our stove. The things that are on the burners (I have no idea what they're called.) were very gross. I believe they are supposed to be silver, but no, they were black. So after seeing the miracle that Scrubbin' Bubbles had worked on our sink, I decided to try it on these burner thingies. So I apply the stuff and wait for it to do its magic and my roomie and I start talking.

"You know, Scrubbin' Bubbles is pretty awesome. You just spray it on and it does all the work to make it clean."

"Its pretty awesome. Its like the Jesus of cleaning products."

And oh my gosh, you have your simile. But, let's be real, this is a legit comparison. Think about it. Scrubbin' Bubbles does all the dirty work for you. You bring it something that is messed up, dirty, no one wants to touch it. You spray on the Bubbles and let it soak in, let the object really soak up those Bubbles. Then, you wash it off and its like new. Shiny, perfect, something that catches your eye and makes you smile. (Okay, maybe not you, but I really like seeing clean things in my house.) And then, look at Jesus. You bring him the world. Broken, unperfect, dirty. He shows us an example of a perfect, sinless life and then dies a humiliating death to save our souls. Give that story to someone, let it soak in, let them really experience the Lord. Then come back to them, they've been cleansed, they are something new, their way of life catches your eye and makes you wonder where their light comes from.

There you have it. Scrubbin' Bubble and Jesus. A wonderful little simile.

I have to say. I love to write so much and haven't really gotten the chance to do the kind of writing that I love in college. So, getting to do this is fun for me, even if there is no one reading it. Jesus is so good, I hope those of you reading this did enjoy.

Adios, HT
