Does Truth exist?

When I was in college, my Philosophy professor was always talking about “Truth with a capital T, meaning ULTIMATE Truth from our Creator.

There IS only one Truth. HIS Truth. He created it and built the foundations of the earth upon it.

That is what we are to be seeking and aligning our lives with.

It’s really been rubbing me the wrong way to hear the “speak/live your own truth” message that’s infiltrating our culture because it is WRONG. It’s a dangerous worldview to base one’s life on because it’s a humanistic LIE.

It gives one permission to think and do whatever they want, whatever feels good to them at the moment, never questioning what ACTUAL TRUTH is.

Do you believe in ONE ultimate Truth?

In my kitchen there is a pasta maker.

I have never used said pasta maker.

This pasta maker has been tucked away in a cabinet for three years, maybe four; I don’t remember at this point. It’s been too long.

General decluttering rules dictate that anything you haven’t touched/used in more than six months is a candidate for removal from your home.

But this pasta maker isn’t going anywhere.

This is more than simply another random kitchen gadget to me.

It represents the life I am striving for.

A life where there is TIME to channel my Italian DNA and make my own pasta, which has been on my bucket list for a long time.

A life of nourishment, where my family gathers around the table to feast on home cooked meals.

A life of creative endeavors, expanding my skill set in the kitchen while plating up beautiful meals for my family and friends.

A life of beautiful memories with my children as we make messes together in the kitchen and enjoy delicious, life-giving food.

As you remove items from your home, remember there is a time to break the rules. If you choose to keep something in your home, knowing your new uncluttered life will give you the time and space to use that item, keep it.

Life is about living, not depriving yourself of the things you’ve always dreamed of doing for the sake of clearing clutter or being a minimalist. Be intentional with the things you choose to keep in your home, and your life will grow in beauty.

For now, this pasta maker remains in my kitchen.

STUFF is leaving my house!
I have a total of 7 boxes and 4 bags.
...so far...
I am ashamed of all the STUFF we’ve been holding onto, stuff we don’t use, stuff no one else wants either.
I am embarrassed that it took a major household emergency (more on that later) to kick me into gear to tackle an issue I’ve procrastinated on for the past few years.
This is the first load of Project Purge 2021.
What housekeeping task do you put off until it’s embarrassing?
