Cleanliness Is Next to Godliness?

It seems there might be something to that old adage, "Cleanliness is next to Godliness." A new study indicates ethical behavior improves dramatically when people feel they are in a clean environment.In a way, this makes sense to me. I mean, doesn't a freshly cleaned house lift your spirits? Who wants to mess that feeling up by doing something bad?

When I first read about this, my first thought was "How can I make this work for me as a parent?" My next thought was "I can't!" As much as I'd love a truly tidy, clean house, I seldom have one. The demands of modern life (and the fact that I don't have servants, as the original Proverbs 31 woman did) mean my house is often less than spotless.The good news is this, though: Just spritzing some Windex seems to have the same benefit.Just think, if you spray a little Windex around your house, your children might be better behaved! Ha, ha! Now that's worth trying!
