Spiritual Spackle

I am doing some touch-up in the house by filling in the space between the rough trim and the ceiling with spackle, painting spots on the ceiling that we had missed, and quarter-round along the beam of the ceiling.  When I was spackling along the ceiling, I found the tube had separated into water and nearly-congealed-paste.  To get the spackle out of the tube, I twisted the tube and squeezed hard.  Clumps of spackle came out between squirts of water, then I noticed that my shirt and pants had spackle on them; the tube had cracked under my hand pressure, spraying me with spackle!  I took the spackle out of the tube and re-mixed it in a plastic lid to even out the texture so I could use it.  The ceiling looks so much better that way!  I wrote to the manufacture’s website to tell them of my experience, but I really don’t expect to hear from them.

What is God trying to squeeze out of me?  Is my “spackle” coming out in clumps and squirts, or in an even paste as it should?  Am I spraying “spackle” all over the place?
