I just have to speak up!  The very same thing you describe is happening to me.
 I'm giving stuff away as fast as I can--books to the booksellers, clothes
(I'm down to 1/4 of my closet)--even tossing out all 2 or 300 songs I've
written, given my expensive iMac G5 away, scanners, most of my files and older
records.
It's like I, too, am possessed!  Of course, it has occurred to me that the
Holy Spirit is behind this.  I'm praying that noone is MY family will be
needing my house, but someone will move in, no doubt.  I have torn up the
carpets & pads and am having new hard flooring put in, and put up new drapes.
 This is sort of so the house will be 'presentable', you know, for the next
people.  I cannot explain it, but am glad,, Diane, that you wrote about it.

I, too, am feeling very detached from these worldly things, but one of Paul
N.F.s contributions reminded me that I am to be joyful and not morose until
Jesus calls.  So...I'm trying my best!

Thank you all for making The Doves Site an inspiring place to visit, 6 days a
week.  How fortunate I feel to have found you all.

Looking Up! (with a smile!) ;-)
