Should Accessories Ever Be Bigger
Than Your Head?

I have an on-going ministry to my like-minded sisters—those of us who are, shall we say, “chronically over-accessorized.” It’s one of those “out of the depths of your own struggles” kinds of ministries. I thought about starting a support group for the accessory-challenged, but then I realized that we can’t fit that many of us into a room at the same time. When the “shiny-bauble-circumference” to “flesh-square-footage” ratio is off, no one can sit down. Not to mention, exaggerated accessories tend to crash into one other, cymbal-style. Who could carry on a meeting with all that noise?

Appropriately accessorizing is probably not my best thing. I try to give myself good accessory reminders. Like this one: Most accessories should not be bigger than your head. But it just so happens that remembering is not exactly my best thing either.

Fortunately, I doubt accessories will influence my eternity. And even more fortunately, remembering doesn’t have to be my best thing either, spiritually-speaking. Everything I urgently need to know, God promises he’ll bring to mind. Jesus said, “The Holy Spirit will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you” (John 14:26, NIV, emphasis mine). It’s all under control—his! Don’t you just love the sweet reminder that he is in control? It’s sweeter than the best clearance sale at the accessory counter!

Now if only I could get a little more control of some of those over-accessory reminders. I’m telling you, it’s dangerous. I have earrings, for instance, that—with the just the wrong wind gust—could totally put an eye out.
