OK. The housecleaning is important to me because of multiple reasons: 1.  It honors my Mom.  She kept a clean home.  The Bible says we should honor our father and mother.  Though Mom has passed, I still honor her this way. 2.  I do it every week though it is a struggle for me sometimes.  As I get it done, I'm reminded that God blessed me with the energy again.  It proves to me God's faithfulness and His gift to me of perseverance (stubbornness?). 3.  By posting it weekly consistently, am reminding myself of God's consistency.  He doesn't change, so, I post this consistently also...but only when it is true. 4.  I cleaned the mirrors with water this week, so no streaks. 5.  The dog poop is still in the yard, as it is part of the security system. Enough embellishment?
