Sins carry us away! They are like wind... the wind blows and then the leaves and dust go all over the place. It is the same with sins. When the wind blows all kinds of offensive and sinful things spread all over the place. It is only when the wind stops that we can clear up the mess that it has made. It is the same with sins. Those things that have been spread all over the place need cleaning up.
