I have the day off work today and spent most of my time weeding my gardens. There are two quotes that I find describe the fight against weeds perfectly:
- Give a weed an inch and it'll take the whole yard.
- One year's seeds makes seven years' weeds.
Not to harp too much on the garden/life analogy... I find that weeds are perfect pictures of sin (after all, they are a result of sin). If a sin, however tiny, is ignored, it starts to put out roots and grow (and maybe even start to re-seed itself). Once it has been left to grow like this, it is so much harder to erradicate. Therefore vigilance is required and a readiness to spot and remove the first traces of weedy sin.
