You see my parents started this small project (or so they thought) of buying a 1906 Victorian Farm House when I was entering the 8th grade, approximately in 1994. They had this grand dream and idea to renovate this house to its intended beauty. Well, true renovation may never end because to this day they are still working on the house. I have many stories to tell and will resume to blogging about renovatus when the summer youth calendar slows down. (You will not want to miss the story about me taking baths with a water hose. Not kidding!)
Many people have misinterpreted and have been misled to think that renovation and restoration is a external process to an internal joy. We know from Jesus words in order for renovatus to happen in one's life you must begin from the inside out.
"Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence."
Matthew 23:25
Please join me to explore a deeper meaning to restoration that looks beyond the external structure.
