Life is rather easy for me along this line. If I don't have it, I don't
need it. I only need what is right in front of me and what I can access 
right away. 

Looking down at the floor, I said rather softly, “I don't think we need
to clean up this room at all.” 

“What did you say?” 

At that point, I knew I was in some kind of trouble, although what, I
wasn't sure. So I repeated what I had to say. 

“I don't think we need to clean up this room at all. In fact,” I said as
slowly as possible, “I like it the way it is.” 

I know my wife was trying to help me get my room organized so I could
find whatever I needed when I needed it. That's just not the way my 
clock ticks. I'm grateful that my clock ticks at all for that matter. I 
don't go with that pattern that she lives and dies by. Everything has 
to be in its proper place, according to her. 

Me, on the other hand, I just have to be in the right place. 

Then a light bulb clicked on the top of my head. I looked at her and
said, “Let's clean up this room and then I will help you clean up the 
mess in your room.” 

As she turned her back and left my room, I couldn't help but think of a
verse of Scripture, “And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye 
also to them likewise” (Luke 6:31). 

You may not like my mess but I certainly enjoy it.
