Although I do agree with you that, '...aspiring,<br /><br />Although I do agree with you that, <i>'Wiping the tablet clean is akin to wiping the slate clean which is akin to the process of confession and absolution of sins',</i> I also think it refers to undue attachments. It may encompass all attachments ... it probably does, as I think about it, because to be 'attached' to something/someone would be to put that thing/person before God. We can't have anything/one coming before God if we want God to work in our heart.<br /><br />Thank you Sister for this -- and all the other -- quotes!the bookladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11263580845211880738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-694733281909491975.post-36276044639468405522010-04-08T01:20:37.448-04:002010-04-08T01:20:37.448-04:00It just occurred to me.
