Scum

I've scrubbed and scrubbed, run vinegar through, plain water, everything...and when I made a new pot of coffee yesterday, there was still what looked like an oil slick on the top of my coffee. I'm positive I know what the problem is (and I'll admit, I knew it before I cleaned the pot...I just thought I'd better clean it, too!)...impure water. I know, I know. We had this problem at work, too--my coworker and I (before we moved to Wayne) were the only two people at the bank who consistently drank coffee. He always made at least the first pot and depending on who took the last bit made the next (as it should be, of course!). Anywho, we normally got bottled water to use but on those days in between Bob's Red Fox runs (or better said, "On those days when we were too lazy to run next door to the store"), we would use the water from the tap. When you heat it up, though, it gets a weird film to it that leaves a yucky line all over your coffee cup...

It's like that with my heart, too. On the days when I'm too lazy to go to the Maker of my heart, instead I fill up with the things that come more easily in this world...only to see the marks of the devil left behind in my attitude, prayer life, etc. Not good. I know my life is way better when I get the pure stuff--why don't I go there first?! *Sigh* Why can't I get it right?
