MAXINE??

Have yall met Maxine? I'm sorry, maybe it is my age, but I love her. If you don't know her, she is Hallmark Greeting Cards' crabby character that has sold millions of cards. Somehow, her irreverent quips about aging, the workplace and political correctness has struck a cord. The thing that struck me with this one, especially since we have been talking about spring cleaning during the Lenten season, is that we use every excuse to avoid letting God do the necessary cleaning to make us more like Him. Unfortunately, we chose to look like Maxine. But anyway, if this works on your house, so be it, but let's let God clean our spiritual house, okay? jl

Maxine's Good Housekeeping Tip#1

Always keep several

get well cards on the mantle...
So if unexpected guests arrive,
They will think you've been sick

and unable to clean.
