All Things Are Become New

Finally!!  I think that I have a simple grasp on the whole blogging issue.  I hope that everything looks good - now the challenge - to keep it up to date.  Which was an issue before because I didn't WANT people to come to my site because it looked like chaos - now it is better and all I need do is make a new post here and there - right? 

So I have a challenge to all of you out there.  I need some help - as you see at the top - we have a theme this year:  "Organize yourselves; prepare every needful thing, and establish a house, even a house of prayer, a house of fasting, a house of faith, a house of learning, a house of glory, a house of order a house of God".

I need to work on all of these to some degree - who doesn't, but I NEED inspiration from others to accomplish these goals - especially in the house of order and house of learning areas.  As you may or may not know - my housekeeper challenge is dishes.  I don't know what it is, but I put it off 'til the very last - once I'm doing it they are fine - I don't mind standing there in the process - just the starting of it seems to be such a tremendous effort.  (See how brave I am being by posting a picture of the sadness).

So I am calling all dish doers to share what helps them GET IT DONE.  I recently had one mom tell me that no one is allowed to leave the kitchen until the kitchen is clean - that may work - I will try it.  But what I need are ideas for everything.  I really don't mind laundry or cleaning the bathrooms and now that I have a vacuum that works - I don't mind anything - except those dishes!! 

Of course I have some goals of order that are a bit more fun - like finishing my big wall clock that I started, making valances and curtains, organizing toys, finishing the mud room and the basement - these types of things are exciting to me - it is just a matter of time before they are done.

I know that this will be read by brillant people, so those who are reading this - what do you do that you might have a house of learning - we do pretty well here, but I think that there should be no limit in this area - so bring it on!! 

And for those who are more spiritually minded - I have been trying to better define the term - House of Glory - what does that mean to you?

I would appreciate any inspiration in these areas that I can get - hopefully we can jump into this with all of our feet to conquer this.
