I Hate Dandelions
The family which owned our current home before we bought it invested in a nice, green yard. Few clovers, for example, are found among the grass. Prickly lettuce did not grow. I do not know if the owner treated the lawn himself or paid someone else. I also do not know if he used organic weed killer or not.
What I do know is that now, neither neighbor treats their yard for weeds. They have any number of varieties of weeds growing in their yard, the most prevalent and pernicious being dandelions. I hate dandelions.
Due to Rachel’s insistence, I do not use any chemical weed killer on the yard. I also will not pay someone else to treat our yard. It does not take long for the dandelion seeds from either neighbor to find their way into our yard. So, I spend time occasionally digging up with a trowel these little yellow pests. My botany professor in college defined a weed as anything you don’t want. Thus, dandelions qualify as weeds. Rachel and the girls think the little yellow flowers are pretty. I think they are annoying.

When you become a Christian, you make the decision to keep sins out of your life. “No one born of God makes a practice of sinning, for God’s seed abides in him, and he cannot keep on sinning because he has been born of God” (1 John 3:9).
But, just like with my neighbors, there is no way to absolutely keep dandelions out of my yard and there is no way to absolutely keep sin out of your life when you are surrounded by a sinful world on all sides. “If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us” (1 John 1:8).
Keeping a beautiful spiritual life, then, is akin to keeping a beautiful lawn. It takes watering with prayers; fertilizing with the word; caring with warm fellowship – and the occasional digging out of a sin, one at a time.
