Hoarding and Sin

[FlickerOfLight]

I'm thankful for all the posts here. I was looking for reactions, trying to see how offended people may become if I suggest hoarding is a ticket to hell.

I'm completely burned out and to quote Austin Powers, "And I'm spent". However, my task today is to clean out my storage area to make room for guess what? Crap I'm adding to my pile!

I had a dumpster brought in before, a small one, I should get a bigger one. I have a pick-up and could go to the dump, but I'm so sick and tired of these never-ending cleanup projects. But I'm more aware than ever of this spiritual trap and must refuse to serve two masters.

I should consider giving away things to charity or people I know personally who may need things, but that may be like sharing cursed objects or spreading STDs. With all the hard dirty work and frustration, the idea that these things are actually cursed had me consider the cleansing purity of a huge bonfire. Send it back to the elements where it came from before it adds more misery to anyone else's life both now and the hereafter.

I recently went through this battle of questions. 

I came to remembering two things.
We are all sinners.
Jesus is merciful.

And I would do the same. Have you a nice big bonfire one night. Or give what you can (or what is worth giving) to the needy, somehow, if possible. Burn what's left over.

Cheers
