It is tempting sometimes to take a loan against the house and pay off everything. That would lower our monthly expenses tremendously. But I am very determined to keep a lien off of this house. I have a house and 3 acres free and clear and I don't want to ever ruin that.

Yes, there is a certain amount of security in that. I waffle between paying off the mortgage and using the money to create cash flow with good debt. I basically don't want to put all my eggs in one basket any which way.
