82nd Movement

I was washing my brother's army boots yesterday, got them sunk in the mud like last week.

And I really was wondering a lot of things when I washed them, and then you'll go like "JUSTIN!!! WHY IN THE WORLD ARE YOU THINKING SOOOOO MUCH WHEN YOU'RE WASHING ARMY BOOTS???"

Well, it's not my mind, it belongs to God, so He can do whatever He wants to do with it. But in this case, He made me think.

SAF boots are made in a very special way: when they get sunk into mud, you wash them and with the water on, it looks very clean and black, no stains at all. But when the sun dries everything up, the mud stains appear on it, showing its true colors.

So now, what's it got to do with anything? Come on, doesn't it remind you of something?

Alright, I'll say it. It reminded me of how life is (like DOH!)

We humans always try new means and ways to cover up our evil and bad past (or habits) and use "water" to make sure that no one sees it. The problem is, when the sun comes up, the water dries up, and everything will be (literally in some sense) brought to light.

So what do we have to do in order to change our lives?

That's easy, Justin here is offering you a remedy, a lifetime cure to lead a new life!

Here it is: WASH YOUR BOOTS

It isn't difficult, just take your boots, and scrub them for a day or two. In life, it may take more than a day or two. IT could take a year, or a few in fact. But the main focus is to wash away those evil and bad things that have made your life so miserable and dirty. That is the only way to come out of your closet without shame.

So, please, stop spraying water on your boots, go and WASH them.
