I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with grass stains on my shoes from mowing Sister Schenck's lawn. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbor's children. I want to be there with a little dirl under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."

Spring Cleaning.


Today I got the bug.
It was a gorgeous day out,
but what did I do instead of go out and enjoy it?
Oh yeah.
That's right.
I stayed in and cleaned...
and I DO NOT regret it.
My house smells great and looks even better!

I packed some more boxes in the process.
I decided that it would give me a better incentive to throw things away.
Things I KNOW I won't want to pack up and move to SG.
It worked.
I have gotten rid of lots of things that I just couldn't seem to throw out before.

Yay for me!
