Scrubatory for Poor Sinners
I’m probably all wet about this, and if it’s heresy ecclesiastical wheels may turn to let me know, but I’m an old duff so I might be gone before they can serve me papers, the way things poke along in Church matters. It’s about what goes on after death anyway. I like to think that the Lord intends to, and will, clean almost all of us up from all our sins, stupidity and faults in some kind of Purgatory scrubbing, a Scrubatory. if I may coin a word.
We are such bumblers and fumblers that we can’t get hardly anything right even when it’s in plain sight before us. Not doing right about pleasing invisible, incomprehensible God would never be expected.
It’s like fish: all fish have to be cleaned after pulling them in, before they are fit to eat. So I figure that God’s plan involves drastically scrubbing up and reorienting just about every soul he pulls in, like fish, getting us ready for Heaven, whether we wanted it or not, because it’s where He wants us, and it’s why He created us. Think of the term ‘poor sinners’: we are such dummies that we can’t even sin effectively. We are poor, as opposed to effective, sinners, which is good, if it obviates Hell.
