Folding Fitted Sheets

I just tried to fold a fitted sheet.  I have seen multitudes of examples of how it should be properly done, but do you think that has helped me perfect this elusive art?  Absolutely not!  I'm still a terrible fitted sheet folder.  I need to be more studious and deliberate and patient about the method of getting it right, I suppose.  Unfortunately my fitted sheets end up in a crumpled mess in the cupboard.  I'm pretty sure Martha Stewart would not want to be my house guest at my current level of fitted sheet folding expertise.

Thinking about this ever-recurring flaw in my housekeeping skills as I take the fitted sheet out of the dryer, I start to compare it to my need to take the study of God's Word and be deliberate and repetitive about applying it to my life.  My practice of doing so always helps me keep the nuggets of truth and wonders of God's grace neatly tucked into my heart and mind, ready to be unfolded when it's time to apply it.  No matter how many times I may have read something or heard someone else teach about something in the bible, it is sort of useless to me unless I take it to heart, unless I put what I see and hear into action.  I will end up a crumpled mess if I don't get that part right, or at least make a concentrated effort to put into practice that which I strive to know.

All that being said, I don't want to have to end up being that person that doesn't pay attention to God's best for me and my life.  I don't want to disregard the multiple ways and times He shows me how I should do things.  I don't want to end up in a crumpled mess instead of taking the time and effort to know how and why I should do things God's way - the right way.  I want to study and learn; discern and apply.  I want to be able to fold my virtual fitted sheet well so I don't end up in a mess.

But, right now, I'm back at the dryer and there is one immediate option that might work for me.  I think putting the real fitted sheet on the bed, straight out of the dryer, warm and comfy, would be a perfect way to apply good wisdom right about now.
