SOD HOUSES

 

I have a question...  My Grandma Daisy Richey, as a little girl living in Nebraska, lived in a Sod House.  Here's the ??  Did women living in houses made of dirt "dust"?  How would you know the difference between dusting and rubbing a whole in the wall?

I believe that much of what we do in the Church today is synonymous with dusting a sod house.  Much of what we do is pointless and illogical.  We spend our days attempting to clean the uncleanable.  In the end, our well intended efforts at cleaning the house can prove to be very counterproductive.

We live in a dirty world.  So… We spend our days trying to clean away a spot of dust.  But what we thought to be a spot soon becomes something much bigger.  And then, because we are so invested in the process, we are incapable of stopping.   We don’t know when to stop… and before you know it, we have put a hole in the wall of the house and passersby look in the window we have made and mock our futility.
