The Closet of Mystery

All of us have “ghostly closets.” They are a mystery even to us. We open the doors just to see what we have stuffed into them.

As a child I can remember listening to one of my all-time favorite radio programs, Fibber McGee and Molly. During one of those episodes, Molly opened up her closet and everything tumbled out of it—many things that didn’t even belong there. But because it was behind closet doors, no one except Molly could see into the closet.

If you have one of those mystery closets, begin today to get a grip on it. Take everything out, lay the items on the floor or bed, and examine each item to see if it still fits or if you’ve worn it in the last year. It must pass your inspection before you put it back into the closet. If the item doesn’t pass the test, you must give it away or put it into the garage sale bag.
