I changed our furnace filter this past weekend. We have one of these big 20x25x6 'accordian-style' filters (pictured above). Those black things have, like, comb teeth that you have to space between the pleats and it takes a bit of work to make the change.
Awhile back, though, I picked up one of these at Menards that was in a box THAT size (instead of folded up in a small box).
When I went to install the new one I couldn't figure out how to get the filter OUT of the box. It's like it wouldn't open. Then I realized you simply slide the entire box into the casing. It took like two seconds!
I'm not sure how I like this though. It is definitely easier to replace, but it just doesn't seem right not having to go to a bunch of work to change it anymore. Plus, what am I supposed to do with the giant "comb" spacers?
We'll see. Maybe I need to learn to appreciate easy things for what they are. Like, harder isn't necessarily better. At least not always. I dunno.

Matthew 6:25-27
“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?"
