Pooping in the Floor...

Ok, so my wife walks into the bathroom tonight and finds a pile of poop in the floor.  We have two cats, Dublin and Jock.  Dublin was outside leaving Jock as the odd cat out.  Immediately the whole family set out on the mission of finding the culprit to put him outside.  We looked in all the usual places where Jock likes to play or sleep and didn't find him.  We finally found him hiding under the bed.  As I was putting him outside I realized that Jock did the exact same thing we do when we "poop in the floor."  We hide. 
Genesis 3 tells us where we get this from.  After Adam and Eve disobeyed God and realized that they had done wrong, Genesis 3:8-9 says, Then the man ad his wife heard the sound of the Lord God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the Lord God among the trees of the garden.  But the Lord God called to the man, "Where are you?"
So how about you?  Are you hiding under the bed because you're afraid to face the mess that you've made of your life?  The great news is that God is even better at cleaning up messes than we are at making them.
