There's a difference between fixing something and acknowledging it happened. Fixing something is more intentional. Think about it: you identify the problem, seek a solution, gather the necessary tools to fix it, and then go at it. You spend time and energy on it, and (unless you are "Tim 'the Toolman' Taylor") it's better in the long run. Acknowledging something happened isn't doing anything to fix it. It's not even attempting to fix it. And let's face it: even though Tim Allen's character always made a mess out of whatever he was trying to fix, the effort was admirable.
I've put a lot of thought and prayer into it, and now it's time to dive in. I'm in the tool-gathering stage right now on a few areas of my life, and although I wish it were so much easier than this, I know it'll be better in the long run. But the way it stands right now can't be how it stays.
Cryptic? Yes. The reason is that the specifics aren't important. The important part is that we all have things that need fixing in our lives. The choice is yours -- are you going to fix it, or are you going to leave it lie in a mess?
