R...I feel we all could do away with a lot of junk. Reading your books has reminded me of the times I have had to live simple. When my husband was between jobs, we lived in a Motor home and then a travel trailer. I stored so much stuff that after 2 years, I ridded myself of it. I need to do some more ridding now. <BR/>Books are my downfall as I love them to uplift and encourage me. But I have started sharing them because a good book setting on a shelf does nothing. So at church my books are now going all around the church. I even forget who has what. I have introduced many women to some new authors, including you.squiresjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14116632619184218017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1666561394700528191.post-17244767613408316382009-02-24T09:08:00.000-08:002009-02-24T09:08:00.000-08:00Thanks so much for stopping in, Patti! Ha! Bookshe...Thanks so much for stopping in, Patti! Ha! Bookshelves would be my downfall. And one day very soon - grandchildren! <BR/><BR/>But like you, I look at those cute little houses, and think how little money, how little time they would take. <BR/><BR/>Could I trade my claw-foot tub for a tiny shower? Ouch! <BR/><BR/>I don't think I'd give up the internet, or the doorbell. I'd have to have my computer, because where else would I store the ebooks I'd downloaded to replace the... You know. <BR/><BR/>These houses pose some very interesting values questions. What would we give up, and what would we gain, if we moved into a house hardly bigger than our car? How terrible would it be? How wonderful would it be?Kathleen Popahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03682046279211463305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1666561394700528191.post-71856083546552518652009-02-24T08:54:00.000-08:002009-02-24T08:54:00.000-08:00Yes, yes, and yes! A tiny house with a tiny floor ...Yes, yes, and yes! A tiny house with a tiny floor (sans dog hair!)and no room for a television, only a few books on a table that I will give away as I read. <BR/><BR/>Manyness and muchness overwhelms me in good and difficult ways. I actually drive by those wooden shed lots and long for one that looks like a barn, not for the lawn mower, but for me. <BR/><BR/>No phone line. No Internet. No doorbell. Just me and Jesus and my wonderful husband huddled together. And yes, my dog. And grandchildren should they ever materialize. OOPS! I'm heading back to muchness.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the lovely reminder to be still and know that God is God!Patti Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07575415697841348226noreply@blogger.com
