Inside or Out

As I stood at the sink washing a pan that was left to soak overnight, I noticed that it was far cleaner on the outside than the inside where our meals are cooked. So instead of a cursory scrubbing, I put some elbow-grease into it and did my best to shine it up.

And as I built up suds and sweat, splashing around in the hot water, it came to me that most pan’s are like this one and that most people are like this pan. We’re scrubbed spotless on the outside while internally and eternally — we’re never as clean as we ought to be.
