One of them....

Nothing cleans a house like company coming.

I remember reading one of the household gurus once (hints from heloise or ask maryellen - you know who I mean). Anyhow - she pointed out that we stress way too much over cleaning for company - who's going to get down on their knees to see if we vacuumed under the couch. Her suggestion - clean all the surfaces at eye level (sitting and standing), then take a rag moistened with pinesol and wave it around in all the rooms. People will think you cleaned for hours.

[If Not For Grace]

Jerm 29:12 When you call out to me and come to me in prayer, I will hear your prayers. 13 When you seek me in prayer and worship, you will find me available to you. If you seek me with all your heart and soul, 14 I will make myself available to you, says the Lord. Then I will reverse your fortunes and will regather you from all the nations and all the places where I have exiled you, says the Lord. I will bring you back to the place from which I exiled you.

Long--but worth it......

"Angels can fly because they take themselves lightly; devils fall because of their gravity."
G. K. Chesterton:

I like this thread ... I hadn't run across it before.

Since you quoted Chesterton ... it remnded me of another of his statements.

G.K. Chesterton said of himself, that he was so fat that when he got the urge to exercise he had to lie down until it went away.
