What a scintillating title. I’m sure it has fascinated you, captured you, invited you in, and now you can’t help but read this post. Or you’re just bored and you needed something to do. But you’re still reading this post no matter what you’re reason! *evil laughter* Precisely what I planned.
Alright. Back to that goofy title. To the Right of Godliness is …. (drumroll please!)
CLEANLINESS!!!! Did you guess it?
I’m will admit it. I have not done a good job of cleaning up my dorm room this semester. Nothing terrible, but I’m of the shove-and-hide persuasion of cleaning. Our dorm supervisor has been leaving notes for us all summer asking us to clean up. I would clean up after she would leave a note, but the room always looked a little, well, undone. Suddenly, 1 of my 2 roommates decides to move next door with her friend who is all alone. Suddenly, I have a desk, a whole dresser, another closet, and …. demerits. Yes. My dorm sup had deemed it necessary to give us a little written encouragement to keep our room clean. I don’t blame her at all. In fact — if I was her– I would’ve been slapping demerits on us just about every day! “For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction”. (I still remember high school science!) Action: Demerits. Reaction: I have a mission. Clean the room, use some of the extra space, and just make it look good!
I did. I cleaned, straightened, scrubbed, vacuumed, threw out, rearranged, stacked, moved, and just whipped that room into shape. And this is how I know that cleanliness is next to godliness. Because when I woke up this morning, I felt like sitting in my clean room and having devotions. And when I got to work, the memory of the cleanliness and godliness is brightening my day and making me feel very joyful inside. I believe I will have to keep my room clean on a more consistent basis.
