The End is Near

While the title is pesimistic in some circles I don't have that opinion. The School year is almost done. Friday will be the last day of school. (And there is MUCH rejoicing!) All the year end parties, etc will conclude and summer can begin. The plans for the house are getting finished and if the Lord wills it the house deconstruction/remodel will begin soon...just maybe the property will come to have refinement. The quandry for me has been over how much time, energy, etc does one devote to the chaft of this earth? This isn't our home really - I have a feeling that California will be one of the first areas God wipes from this earth during the fire & brimstone of the tribulation... I'm thankful that I wont be around to experience it. So, since the earthly things are not to be obsessed over, where is the line between overdoing the shell and glorifing our God through our home with the blessings He has given?
