One of the mountains facing us these days is the vast amount of "stuff" we have accumulated over the past 35 years. It must be dealt with! And if we understand God's voice clearly, He is saying it's time to downsize our household. Our daughter got me (Doris) started; she's young (32) and motivated and supplied the push I needed to get this daunting project underway. So, today I head for the basement--to sort through boxes and boxes of old papers and magazines, paint, and canning supplies galore (in my younger days I would can dozens of jars of fruits, vegetables, jams, jellies, etc. in any given year). Those days have long been over and it's time to pass this stuff on to a younger woman. Hopefully, there's still someone out there who enjoys providing for her family in this way. Arthur left this morning to a attend a pastor's prayer retreat the next few days, so I hope to buckle down and make some honest-to-goodness progress while he's away. My plan, Lord willing, is to have a yard sale the first weekend of May, using the proceeds to help fund our schooling in Salem. If you have knowledge on how to price antiques and other old things, I'd love to hear from you.
