Lucy, a young thirteen-year-old girl, stands to pray in her room. The date is the 5th of September 2017. Today, like every day is an important and special day in its own way.
Shall we suggest something for this young girl to do once she's finished with her morning prayers?

Lucy: Check location, what's under your computer, and the rest of your room. These are all very important things that one should check daily, in case weird shenanigans happen.

Ah, the special slumber garden. You hope they'll wake up soon and play with you again, you miss them very much. But you won't dwell on that, that would be selfish! And being selfish is a sin. It appears the flowers you gave them yesterday haven't wilted yet, that's good.
Unfortunately, she is unsure of what this "goth" thing you speak of is, and rather likes the sunshine. Those draws are most definitely empty and you do truly believe Father would never hide anything suspicious in your room.
What now?

Consider temporarily being a pineapple.

Toss GRAVEN IMAGES out of window. Isn't this adventure called iconoclasm or something?

Lucy is unsure as to what a... Pine... Apple is? Is it a pine tree that grows apples? An apple that tastes like a pine tree? Either way, she cannot temporarily be this pineapple you speak of.
And- Oh- Goodness No!!
No, no, no.
You'd never dare throw graven images out of your window! Not only could that hurt somebody but that would be incredibly disrespectful! Both sins.
You must not give in to such heinous thoughts that are suddenly plaguing you. This must be the serpent's whispers. Father may forgive your sins, as he is truly benevolent and wise, but you could never forgive yourself for troubling him. Troubling Father would most definitely be wrong and thus a sin.
Perhaps we should not suggest such impure thoughts?

Do not fear, the computer is already turned off! You have not turned it on for a long time. You don't use it very often and only use this gift you are most graciously thankful of having received when needed.
Keeping it on would be a waste and be very expensive for Father. You already take so much from him, taking more than needed would be selfish, and thus a sin. Your Father does not deserve that sort of behavior and you pray daily you never give into the temptations of such actions. He is so very kind and forgiving. You are not worthy. ... ... ...
...What were you doing? Oh. Right. The kitchen garbage, yes you did take that out! Keeping the church clean is the least you can do. You certainly don't remember eating fish yesterday, though. You ate bread, freshly grown strawberries, and cabbage! You always eat bread and freshly grown fruit and vegetables Father brings home from the garden for you. Sometimes you get to eat meat too, like the fish you mentioned!
You are ever so glad Father likes your cooking, it is one of the things you can give back to him, he deserves so much more though. You wish you could do so much more.

Well, you decide it is time to go downstairs anyway, even if the kitchen bin has been taken out. Not taking the extra step to ensure the work has been properly done would be lazy, sloth, and that is a si-
THUD THUD THUD CRASH
...Ow. Somehow, you feel like constantly saying how some things are sins might have been a sin itself. And you have been rightfully punished for committing it.
How should you proceed?
Also, where on earth did your sleeves go? These stairs are obviously haunted by sleeve-eating ghosts.

Being conscious about not sinning, and planning so as to not sin is disingenuous, and thus a sin. You have to BE virtuous in order to be good.
>Lucy: Pray for forgiveness, and proceed to the living room and kitchen of the living complex.

...You are quite right. Worrying so much is just a distraction, worrying could cause Father to worry too, you mustn't give him something to worry about. Especially if that something is yourself. You clear your mind by focusing on butterflies and rainbows.
You do not know what this "living room" is but you do know where the kitchen is. It is right next to the storage room! You sort of feel like the kitchen doesn't fit with the church, neither does Father, actually.
It was recently rebuilt by "construction workers" that the "mayor" chose to have worked here last month. You do not like them, mostly because Father does not like them either, but at least you can still help him with cooking.
Wait, there aren't any bins in the kitchen! Those are in the storage room, silly Lucy. You're still not used to this new out of place kitchen.

When was the last time you actually stepped outside?

You don't have any of those... But you do have this peach! The peach trees in the orchards of your small village are bearing their fruit at last.
You... Also, don't know what "Narnia" is. It sort of sounds like some kind of furniture company. The last time you stepped outside... That would be yesterday! When you gave those white lilies to your slumbering friends.

You keep one to eat, but... Yes, even though you've been told you don't need food when you sleep under the ground, maybe... They'd still enjoy it. The thought of a gift.
He loved peaches, he even called his new kitten Peaches. He's sleeping with his kitten right now, you guess they must've been really sleepy after playing all day. ...You do miss them... But waking them up too soon would be selfish. If they're sleeping as God's plan, then they'll sleep however long they have to.

Do you have any visitors from time to time? How many members of the parish are in your church? Does your church have an awesome belltower?

That is certainly a nice apple tree! It's been growing there since before you got taken in by the church. There used to be a lot of visitors at the church, but they suddenly started coming less and less, and don't come at all now.
