I feel burdened by the backlog my treatment has created, but when I look around I also see that I've accumulated way too much stuff in my life, house and yard. And in the accumulating, I must clean or keep clean all that stuff! It might not seem like a lot at first but all the little things add up to one BIG and never-ending job! I'm so glad your nephew and his new wife are savvy about all this "stuff" that seduces us in life. Better to build on the simplicity of the sacred.

We're doing a Dave Ramsey course at our church right now and seems as though God is getting my attention in these areas.

We sold our home in the States and almost all of our furniture...assuming we would be over there full time and forever.
