Second Sunday of Easter
Now What?
Rev. Estelle Margarones
Psalm 133 1 John 1:1-2:2
Christ is risen! Last week we sang our Alleluias. We had our biggest moment of the church year.
So…now, what?
Now, the work begins! To say, now that we've got they key to Heaven, we can just do whatever we want, whenever we want, however we want is a bit like saying, okay—we bought the house, we're done. Okay, I joined the gym, I'm done. I got into college, I'm done. I bought the guitar. I'm done.
Now that you've got the hope and assurance that you have a place to live, or to go exercise, or to learn or now that you have an instrument to play, you need to do those things! Now the work begins!
Now we need to move into the house, and paint the rooms and buy curtains. Now you need to go to the gym and workout if you want to be fit. You got into college, now you need to choose classes and study. You bought a guitar, now you need to learn to read music and practice playing.
Christ is risen, opening eternal life to all who believe. Now the work begins.
We heard in the Scripture that , "If we say that we have fellowship with him while we are walking in darkness, we lie and do not do what is true, but if we walk in the light as he himself is in the light, we have fellowship with one another" and forgiveness for our transgressions.
Being a follower is not just wearing a cross or just going to church or just donating money to a charity. You can do these things, but if you live in a judgmental and completely disingenuous way, you are 'saying that you have fellowship with him while we are walking in darkness.'
We are called to walk in that light of God. We are expected to demonstrate our belief in Jesus and in his ways. We are called to have fellowship with one another. Remember that in the very early church, this meant different groups of people coming together, Greeks and Jews. Today, this means whoever you are and wherever you are on life's journey, you are welcome here. The church is called to be a place where different people can come together and be one.
Shining your light will mean different things to different people. Demonstrating that sense of belief may involve prayer and it may involve change. It is about opening our doors and our hearts and our minds. It is about taking a sense of caring and concern and opening it to the broader community.
Now what? You must do unto others as you would have them do unto you....as you would have them do unto your elderly mother....or do unto your sister riding in the car with her infant. You must help when and where you can. You must live in the light of God and bring that light to others. Kindness matters. Sharing matters. The larger community matters.
Now what? Get to work with what God has given you. Jesus opened the door to new life for all of us. Each of us—as a follower—also has the chance to make a difference in the world, too.
Life presents us with all kinds of situations and troubles. I have a saying, "Live Life. Get Stuff." I also have another: "Where is God in this situation?" Because surely God is there!
Once you see God's light, you can reflect that back into the world. Each of us has had experiences that have shaped us. How might you use your experiences? Now what? Get to work!
Here is what one person did: As a young wife and new mother, Rachel Coleman had the first-hand opportunity to make a difference to her own deaf daughter...and to the deaf community locally, nationally, and internationally. In her own words, here is Rachel's story:
"One night, I came to my mom's house to pick up Leah. When my mom heard me come in the house she said, "Don't let Leah see you. Stand behind her and call her name."
You know how there are times in your life that are lines of demarcation? Once you cross it, things are never the same. Well this was one of the moments. I stood behind Leah and called her name. Leah showed no response.
I asked my mom how she knew. She told me that they had turned a CD player on, full blast by mistake. Everyone screamed and jumped. Everyone except for Leah.
We read a lot. We asked advice. We had early intervention services. We asked deaf adults what they would do if they were us.
Over the years we noticed how many of our friends and family members claimed that they wanted to learn ASL... (but)....they didn't have time to learn it (or) it was too hard to learn.
I thought if we moved away then it wouldn't hurt so badly. We wouldn't have to hear the excuses and the apologies for why people who loved Leah couldn't communicate with her. We moved. Moving away didn't work. Now we were surrounded by a new group with the same excuses.
We saw kids and parents shy away from her when they realized she was different. I had seen the difference in the interactions with children who knew no signs and children who knew only 4 or 5 signs.
Children with a handful of signs tried to communicate with her. They were excited to show her what they knew. There was a bridge to communication! Now I had a mission and I volunteered to teach weekly signing story times at our local pre-schools. Through this, Leah's circle of friends widened. Her community of communication was growing. These were the seeds that grew to become 'Signing Time'." (www.SigningTime.com)
Signing Time is a company that has American Sign Language resources and products for deaf infants, toddlers, and young children as well as their friends, siblings, parents, daycares, and educators. There are certified signing time instructors all over the country. Rachel Coleman started Signing Time out of her desire help her deaf daughter experience, engage, and communicate fully in the world around her.
Leah Coleman was born deaf. Her mother, Rachael Coleman, was presented with a situation and may have said, "now what?" She has opened hope to thousands of hearing impaired children and their families. (Pause)
Christ died and through that experience we may live. Are you living in the light? How might you bring that light to others?
Each one of us is part of the whole. Together, we are one. One body. One community. One world.
A pebble dropped into water has far-reaching ripple effects. Imagine the impact you can have simply by being you, simply by taking your experiences and walking of the light of God....reflecting that light into the world...
Christ is risen, opening eternal life to all who believe. The good news is that you have a future with God! In the meantime, right now, you're here on earth. So I ask you, now what? Now.... what will you do? Blessed be and amen.

Google Has Answers to All Questions
Januari 8, 2010 Tinggalkan komentar
You will find billions of pages about every imaginable topic. For each and every question you may ask, you will find at least one web page that has answer to that question.
But remember that having billions of pages is of no use if you cannot find the information you are looking for. A simple solution to this problem is web search engines. They simply crawls all the pages and index them. They are collecting lots of information about the content of all the web pages around the world. Even this huge database of all the web pages is of no use since there are thousands of pages on any subject. If there are thousands of pages writing about your subject it is very difficult to find what you are looking.
The key element in successful web search is to serve correct or relevant results. This simply means showing only those pages that may have some useful content about the keyword you search for. This is also the main point where all the web search engines start to differentiate. Google is one search engine that excels in every point of view.
Google is currently the only search engine that maintains very high quality of the search results. A key element to this success is the PageRank algorithm. It is simply based on the number and quality of the links to some particular page. Of course, there are many factors that contribute to the relevance of web pages. But quality and unique content is probably the most important. The fact is, Google is able to provide relevant web pages for any query.
The key success to find what you are looking for is using Google and right keywords. Here the keywords are the other half of the success. This simply means if you are looking for some specific subject you need to find the right keywords to get relevant results. You need to refine your search keywords according to the results you get. Simply just open first few pages from the Google results and you will understand what keywords are related to your subject. All you need to do is to use them with your next search. This is the way by which you will come closer to the wanted page.
Nowadays on the web you can find anything. All you need to have is patience and right keywords. Google offers answer to almost all questions. Consider it as a giant encyclopedia. All you have to do is just to open it and use it.

Tourists who travel in loud, shouty packs that stream past my bedroom window, screeching at each other, should be banned. Or at least fined, to pay for double glazing and/or ear plugs for the people they're disturbing.
Tourists who travel in loud, shouty packs that stream past my bedroom window, screeching at each other, should be banned. Or at least fined, to pay for double glazing and/or ear plugs for the people they're disturbing.
I live in a place so wonderful thousands of people come and visit it. I think I'll complain :D
I guarantee when I move there I won't complain about tourists...
for at least the first week..
Ok first couple of days.
It will be interesting being a normal person with a normal job in a place filled with so many tourists. Will it be annoying trying to get to the office?
Probably. It's annoying trying to go to the supermarket, or the bakery, or the post office, or the pharmacy, or the train station or... I see no reason the office should be easier!
Except that, I suppose, you'll be travelling before the tourists get up, so that's something - though then you hit commuter hell, and get crushed up against lots of annoying commuters. Who aren't much better than tourists.
(I'm in a sparklingly good mood today, aren't I?)
I'm with you!!
I do feel lucky to live someplace that is so beautiful, people choose to make it part of their holiday, but at the same time, when they are walking by my window, do they really need to stop and stare inside them? I'm not joking, they actually do this. Like me cooking dinner is part of the holiday experience.
And don't even get me started on the early Saturday and Sunday morning loud chatter!
Thankfully, we live on the first floor, so we don't have people looking in the windows. Though you know they would if they could. And all the photos of the street outside make you feel a bit sorry for celebrities with their paparazzi - all I want to do is buy some bloody milk, ffs.
I am nice to lost tourists though - I'll go out of my way to show them how to leave the village, for example. Or to give them directions back to their boats, or to the pharmacy or the beach (head down the hill, til you run out of hill. Look up. You'll see the sea), things like that. I'm never anything less than entirely polite *to* them. And I realise they're excited because it's their holiday and it's all new (and "so quaint" as I heard one lot describe us last week) - I just wish they wouldn't scream under my window all the time. Or, in fact, ever.
Oh, and while I think about it, hi Sara Louise! Your blog is awesome - I've had it on my RSS feed for a while now, I'm just too shy to comment... But it's nice to see you here!

Hi there, how are you all doing? We are doing good. We have had a lot going on lately. We sold our house at Christmas and are getting settled at our new place. It does need some updating as the décor is not our style, but that will come with time.
The other thing I would like to update you on is Brianna's surgery. She will undergo her cleft palate repair on Tuesday February 10th. This will be a 3-5 hour procedure and then she will be hospitalized for 1-2 days following if all goes well. Of course, we are worried about anesthesia however we have the same anesthesiologist that we have had the other 4 times she has been under. We do feel very confident in that. The real kicker of this procedure is the recovery process. Brianna will have to eat soft pureed foods for 6 weeks and can only use a traditional cup. Nothing can go past the teeth. The first 3 weeks, she will also have to wear "No-No's" on her arms. These keep her arms straight so she does not put anything into her mouth. Please pray that we make it. She has always been a trooper and she is resilient, but we are nervous. The Dr's. tell us to prepare for weight loss. Ryan, and I are getting ready for a smoothie diet as well. Being that Brianna is almost 2, she wants to try and eat everything we do. We are right in it with her. Bring on the yogurt, protein, frozen fruit and blender. If any of you have any good pureed food recipes, we could use them.
So please pray for the following –
- No sickness prior to surgery (so she can have it).
- Successful anesthesia and surgical procedure
- Smooth recovery with good adjustment to new diet
- Patience
Unfortunately, we also will have to endure another hip surgery in the future. We found out 2 weeks ago that when Brianna is sitting in a "frog" position, her hips are in, but when she stands or straightens her legs out, the hips pop out. One good thing is the sockets are forming nicely. It is just the ball of the hip that does not want to stay in. This means, they will cut the bone, realign the hips, and place her in the lovely spica cast for a minimum of 6 weeks. We find out in May when this procedure will take place. On a positive note, the Dr. was very pleased with how well Brianna is standing, walking, and getting around. Our visit was spent walking up and down the hallway because Brianna would not stay in the room. Brianna let her Dr. assess her and then she took her for a walk while we discussed her hips. It is great having such a flexible physician accommodate your child.
I will be sure and send an e-mail out as soon as I can following her procedure. Please keep the "Barle's" in your thoughts and prayers. We appreciate it!! ANy advice from people that have experience is greatly appreciated!!

It felt that his mouth is locked, it was an unbeliever in God Almighty. D. and mouth on the death and life, and speech and housing, and imprisonment and the bathroom, and mill and wife, and the temple and livelihood. The patient felt that his mouth large and well-Del for his safety and his life.

You know the dating game is on life support when African-Americans think Africa is the answer, Africans think America is the answer, the Caribbean thinks England is the answer meanwhile England thinks Caucasians are the answer and
I honestly think the answer is in our approach.
Marriage cynics look away now
An urgent question you need to ask yourself is:
'If I want to get married why am I giving this guy my most attractive years with nothing to show for it?'
Make sure you're not spending your prime in dead-end relationships
The clock is ticking. Your mid-to-late-twenties are the years in which you are most likely to attract the highest quality man you can get. This counts for nothing if you're not single when a great guy comes along or if you're not putting yourself out there, because you are involved with someone who is kinda, sorta committed to you.
Why should you compromise your top 5?
Well once you have wasted years of your life with a man who has not popped the question that might be a real possibility. Time and time again I hear of girlfriends dating men for 5 or 6 years in their 20's without any sign of a proposal. It blows my mind.
Of course you may have been holding out in the hope of eventually getting a proposal but have you considered that he may string you along for another 2 or 3 years, only for him to decide that he wants someone else – or worse yet, someone younger?
Combine this with our reduced odds of finding someone without baggage once we get past 30 and things begin to fall into perspective; all of a sudden it seems crazy to think about dating someone for more than a year without any confidence that he will commit long-term.
Your body in your 20's is like this luxury house
There's no way you would be renting this stunning open plan home with a pool out for long periods of time when it's value is highest. During this period, you would only be interested in calls from buyers wanting to take it off the market. Right?
Therefore you would either leave it vacant for prospective candidates to view or at most, only agree to month-to-month leases so that it would be available to sell when a buyer came along with a good price.
You would also actively advertise the property to take advantage of its high value.
Put value on yourself
If your current relationship isn't constantly growing towards something permanent then you need to start asking questions. And if you're not getting satisfactory answers it is time to look elsewhere.
Remember your time is your responsibility – not his
Men will not make commitments that are not required of them. If he isn't taking things to the next level when you think it's appropriate break up with him. You can do so nicely and you should explain your reasoning clearly but you should still break up with him.
More easily said than done? Probably. But it is the best move nonetheless. If he really wants you he will try to get you back; but if he doesn't you are better off being back on the market (like that house up there) than tied up in a rental contract during your most attractive years.
Find out if he's really into you?
Men do not fall in love gradually
They do not find themselves suddenly falling for women in whom they weren't initially interested. Male romantic love is something that either starts early and continues, or else doesn't start at all because:
- His attraction to you is physical and your physical beauty can be demonstrated by seeing you in a handful of outfits or to some degree through photos on social media.
- His attraction to you is rooted in your personality and energy which can be demonstrated by experiencing you in a handful of moods. This takes longer than the physical attraction but is still possible within a fairly limited number of encounters.
From a sexual standpoint
This makes good sense as the man who spreads his genes successfully does not need months to judge the reproductive potential of his mate or her ability to nurture and raise children; he can see these things from physical cues as well has her energy, moods, and her instinct to take care of him.
The implications of this are enormous as it underlines that:
If a man isn't falling for you from an early stage – say the first month – it isn't going to happen
Don't wait around for his feelings to "grow" the way yours sometimes do. They will not.
While this doesn't necessarily mean that he should be ruled out as a potential boyfriend or husband it does mean that he will never be the woozy, infatuated lover you've seen in the movies.
And if this is something you can't live without you would be better off breaking up with him now, than to become more emotionally or sexually invested before breaking up with him down the line.
Do you agree?

It seems to me that I have been bitten with the creative bug. I managed to finish my first chapter at the end of last week and today I have pretty much finished Chapter two. I just need to close the chapter and edit it. There are a few spots where the dialogue is awkward, but I am sure that will work itself out eventually.
It amazes me how quickly time flies by when I'm writing. The first chapter I sat down and wrote in basically three and a half hours and I didn't even notice. Today, the same amount of time elapsed and I couldn't believe it.
I know where I want the book to go, but working out the little details that will get me there are sometimes hard to find. That said, when I do have the inclination to write, everything just comes pouring out. I usually find time to write when the dogs are napping early in the morning after they all have been fed and out for their second bathroom break.
I make a gigantic cup of coffee and settle in with my Laptop, a fuzzy blanket, Aria and Balloo squished on to my lap and Glacier sprawled at my feet.It makes for a good morning. :)

Beach Football
It was the end of September, 2012. I was assigned to stay in the Kalapara Upazilla of Patuakhali district especially to protect the Mother Hilsa fishes which were predicted to come in the shore at that period to breed naturally.
After finishing a hectic drive in the Mahipur, Alipur and Kuakata fish market, along with the fishery officer of Kalapara Upazilla, I reached on the beach of Kuakata. It was not the season for the tourist. So, there were few people on the beach and mostly the locals. The sea beach was presenting itself in a very serene look. The local boys playing football in the beach was adding some more natural and ancient view on it. I liked their gesture like no one is watching them, they are free, they are the unmodified part of this unbeaten nature.

So, yes, we went to Mexico! We had such an amazing time at a resort outside of Playa del Carmen. It was called El Dorado Seaside Suites and it is the same resort that our sweet friends, the JonesES (I have recently learned how to properly pluralize my own new name and the names of other people that end in an S...thank you fellow grammar policewoman, Beth! I'm so ashamed...you should take my badge away). It was beautiful, filled with British people (which was SO fun), and had the best food we have ever eaten. We just relaxed on the beach all day, ate, ate, and ate. We did go to Chichen-Itza one day which was amazing. The Mayan ruins just astounded us. All of their buildings were so purposeful and designed to keep the people believing that their gods really had power, which in turn helped the government keep them under control. We were also told that every building (and there were HUNDREDS...and even more than that they haven't restored) would have been painted in bright reds, blues, greens, and yellows. It was definitely the history buff in the family's favorite day.
We also had he opportunity to go visit some fantastic friends. A little background here: The Pauls are some of my parents oldest and best friends (as in high school and college) and our families have always been very close. John Paul, who is close to my age, married his new wife on the same day as Justin and I. We couldn't have picked anyone better to share an anniversary with! So when we realized that we were going to the same area of Mexico, we knew we had to meet up. So we both took Mexican taxis (an experience!) to Playa to spend the afternoon together. The new Pauls are going to move to Boston in the next few days and we can't wait to come and visit! Fenway here we come!!! We just loved seeing them and just LOVE them.
When we cam back from Mexico, we immediately went to San Antonio to my sweet Ashley's wedding. Ashley and I have been friends since the VERY beginning of freshman year and have been roommates for two years. She married Ben Carter who is AMAZING and their wedding was beautiful. The Lord was so glorified in the whole day and I know will continue to be glorified throughout their lives together. It was a great way to end the honeymoon because it reunited the Hawktree girls one last time before we spread out all over the country.
Right now, Mr. and Mrs. Nichols are in their apartment in Houston. We officially start working August 14th, and right now we are simply soaking up this time together and with nothing to do. We have our apartment all set up and organized and can't wait to have some visitors. So please...come visit...
Love always-
Justin and Laura

I believe some of you might have seen this person on the "Britain's Got Talent" show before. It was in 2007. I admit I haven't seen till today. Today, I was really blown away witnessed his singing.
I came to know this video from a friend. He introduced this video as "Don't judge the Book from its Cover". .
A video says thousand words.

The disappearance of bees in North American, what has been called "colony-collapse disorder" may be caused by a virus that has been transmitted: IAPV, or Israeli Acute Paralysis Virus (the virus is not Israeli, but was first described there). National Geographic, the NY Times, CNN, and New Scientist have good summaries. The journal article on the virus was published online yesterday in Science and they have also published a news article on the bee-disappearing phenomenon. The Science content is behind a subscription wall, however.
The big news yesterday was the discovery of the asteroid collison in the belt between Mars and Jupiter that sent a large asteroid towards earth 65 million years ago, changing the Earth's climate and wiping out all the dinosaurs. Check out online stories about this at National Geographic, and Scientific American. A paper published in Wednesday's Nature (again, behind a subscription wall), describes a "family" of asteroids that appear to have come from the destruction of a 40-mile wide progenitor. One of the pieces from that explosion, which occurred 160 million years ago, headed toward Earth. Another impacted on the moon and created the crater Tycho.
I've posted on Craig Venter's personal genome yesterday, but if you aren't tired of Venter yet, Issue 221 of Edge: The Third Culture is out featuring an event called "Lief: What a Concept!" with Venter as one of the invited speakers. Other speakers were Freeman Dyson, George Church, Dimitar Sasselove, Robert Shapiro, and Seth Lloyd. Together and separately they discussed the concept of life, how it originated, did it exist outside Earth, and other related idea. The fall issues of Edge will feature transcriptions of all of the talks as well as video.
Happy Friday!

Ugh… I kind of don't feel good. I'm sort of achy and definitely cold (google "shanghai weather news". . . are you back? See, this is not normal for southeastern China) and also there's my stomach. After everything I eat I'm so very full, even if it was just a muffin. Then I feel acidic and not too long after, 2 hours or so, I'm hungry again. Ravenous, actually. And also my bowels are a bit out of sorts, but that's a given here.
Let's see, today I ate: A bowl of oatmeal and some yogurt (and then was so full), then a few hours later had a fried-egg-on-a-chewy-pancake thingy from a street stall (cause I was soooo hungry), then met Jesse for an afternoon romp in the snow while he broke from work. Then, I had an hour and a half to wait for him til he finished work, so I went in the seldom visited posh café I used to frequent and had a piece of cheesecake (and I was very full). Then we got some dinner after he got off work and I could hardy eat any of our spicy tofu and wok-ed greens because I got full so fast.
Now, what do I mean by wok-ed greens? (new topic. Weather and health = dull) So, Momm and Daddy had the pleasure when here to try out the vast array of "greens" that are prepared very simply. Flash fry with garlic, add water and msg, serve hot. And it's almost always our favorite dish. These ones were small leaves, very green on tips, white on bottoms. There are also stringy tough greens, small sprout-like greens, mountain vegetable, white leaves, spinach, many called just "green vegetable", cabbages galore and what appears to be romaine lettuce all prepared in this fashion and always delicious. It usually seems any single restaurant may offer one or two different dishes of greens.
OK, I've got to go find another tums.

Sri Tanjung: The Scent of Innocence was Finally Staged
Sri Tanjung: The Scent of Innocence, the newly-created contemporary dance-drama was staged last night at Ksirarnawa building, Art Centre, Jl. Nusa Indah, Denpasar by dancers from Arti Foundation. This contemporary dance-drama was created by Gusti Putu Sudarta, Bali's renowned artist (shadow puppet master, dancer, composer, and vocalist) from Bedulu village Gianyar.
This contemporary dance-drama is based on 17th century tale Kidung Sri Tanjung originating from Banyuwangi, East Java. In Bali, the story once gained popularity as the theme of a traditional Arja dance-drama, shadow puppet performance and the sung of ancient hymn (pesantian) but has since been survived in the realm of pesantian.
Sri Tanjung: The Scent of Innocence Dance-drama not just revived the forgotten story of Sri Tanjung but also gave this ancient romantic story new twists and touches here and there. Gusti Putu Sudarta, the creator and director, even went further by incorporating shadow puppet performance into the plot of Sri Tanjung: The Scent of Innocence Dance-drama. In short this contemporary dance drama is a successful hybridization of traditional art forms.
This article is just a preliminary to the series of articles which will give in-depth information on the Sri Tanjung: The Scent of Innocence Dance-Drama.

I'm really enjoying Rand Fishkin's new book Lost and Founder. He takes a lot of myths that distort entrepreneurship and attacks them head on. One of the ways he structured the book was to take an external quote, set it up as a straw man, and then debunk it. Imagine my surprise when I got… Continue reading
How To Thrive, Not Just Survive, Without a Startup VP of Engineering
Startup CEOs face a very tricky transition period when their software engineering teams are between 10 and 30 people. If you are lucky, your early technical lead can make the transition to managing a growing team and communicating effectively with execs and board members, but that doesn't always align with people's interests or capabilities. In… Continue reading
How we externalize product progress to the company, and defuse politics along the way
It's depressing how many companies accuse their product and engineering teams of being a black box. The accusations aren't always fair, but they usually stem from two root problems: 1. not enough collaboration, and 2. not enough externalization. Here's how we are tackling those two things at our company. Collaboration: We run a bi-weeky "qualitative… Continue reading
Rebuilding Trust in a Product Organization
When I first joined Axial, the product and engineering side of things was pretty broken, and there was a serious absence of trust. The team didn't trust leadership, and leadership didn't trust the team. The rest of the business — actually, even worse, customers — didn't trust product/engineering. The culprits may sound familiar to some of you: Features took… Continue reading
VCs get all the headlines, but there are more financing options out there than you think
Last week I had breakfast with a founder-CEO who had been through the wringer. After spending years building a successful services business, she got squeezed out and screwed by an unscrupulous business partner. Not one to stay down, she picked herself up and started a new firm, only to be diagnosed with cancer. But she… Continue reading
Defining our product & engineering team values at Axial
The product and engineering team at Axial has undergone a lot of change in the last year or so.

Three Little Words for Better Team Communication

Control Your Narrative
A former colleague of mine, Anil Podduturi, used to exhort everyone that worked for him to "control your narrative." My interpretation of his saying is that we all need to get pro-active about how we are perceived. The hard truth is that people make judgements. They will make judgements about you as an individual or… Continue reading
Getting Tactical: Iteration Planning Meetings

And so onto to the politics of food and manhood… Our almost twelve-year-old son Jamie is a confirmed vegetable hater. He is a little guy and not a very big eater, but will make a reasonably good stab at most things I present him with. With one notable exception: vegetables. He will, if forced, nibble a stick of raw carrot. He will eat vegetable soup as long as it is blended completely smooth with no chunks of anything that might resemble vegetable matter lurking at the bottom of the bowl. He will eat tomato sauce, but again, only if there are no bits of tomato showing. But that's it. The first sign of pretty much any other veg on his plate, young Master McKinney rehearses the immortal words of Ori the Dwarf from The Hobbit: "I don't eat green food!" Or for that matter, purple, or yellow, or red.
It's hard to know where this aversion comes from. As a family, we try pretty hard to eat well, without being obsessive about it. We eat a lot of veg, creatively stir fried, grilled, curried, steamed, marinated, or just raw as it comes. I am a good cook, and my food tastes good. Our 7-year-old daughter Susanna wolfs down her own veggies and then smugly shows her big brother her plate. "See Jamie, I ate it!"
People tell me not to worry, he'll get less fussy with age, he's not malnourished, he's fine, etc. I know there are millions of parents out there fighting their own battles with fussy eaters. I know that as parental worries go, it could be an awful lot worse. But I admit: it bugs the pants off me. We beg and wheedle. We bribe. We make threats: no chocolate, no video games, no rugby training, etc. We reward the rare occasion when he does manage to choke down a leaf of spinach or the tiniest bud of broccoli. Now that he's getting older, we try to appeal to his growing sense of vanity: "You want to look fit, don't you?" "You want to grow into a big strong man, don't you?" You don't want to end up looking like that, do you?" (pointing out Yoda or Gollum or any one of many wizened little veg-fearing characters dotting about town). We reason. We explain the science of vitamins and nutrition. We encourage him to help with the cooking and planting vegetables in the garden. Yes, we even grow our own! We've tried every trick in the book, and nothing works. Nothing at all. He's clever and stubborn and incredibly consistent, and I am not Supermum. If there are any Supermums out there who know the secret for curing a confirmed vegephobic, get in touch.
In the meantime, my blender is my best friend. I will continue to render his green food invisible in soups and sauces, and repeat my tired old mantra: real men eat vegetables! Maybe he will one day.

Sharon Van Etten
I have completely fallen in love with the album Because I Was In Love by Brooklyn based singer-songwriter Sharon Van Etten. Etten who cites both Vashti Bunyan and Sibylle Baier as influences, lives in musically similar territory characterized by haunting compositions and soft melancholy vocals complemented by slow and spare acoustic guitar playing.
In the past couple of years Etten has opened for a host of fine artists including Great Lake Swimmers, Alela Diane and A Hawk and a Hacksaw, but it was after earning a support slot with Meg Baird that things started to really come together nicely, as this led to an introduction to Baird's Espers bandmate, Greg Weeks, who ended up producing and helping shape the recordings that would end up becoming Because I Was In Love.

We spent Juan's birthday at the Doudj National Park. To say we were underwhelmed at the beginning is an understatement – the Pantanal was 10 times cooler – but when the boat rounded a corner and we saw thousands of 20 kg pelicans hanging out on a narrow concrete slab, we were sufficiently impressed.
We experienced the three-part Senegalese tea ceremony each night (amére comme la mort; doue comme la vie; miellé comme l'amour), marveled at the more-or-less tame sea hawk perched just feet from our dinner table, and made friends with the hotel's chocolate lab puppy. The kicker: all of it costs the same daily rate as bush camping on the truck…

Girls Day Out.
Today I took the girls to Port Pirie to buy our winter shoes and underwear. We had a great day out. We left home around 11. Port Pirie is just under a hour away from us so we got there just before 12.00. I don't know the town very well but I thought I would be able to get us to KMart but I drove around and couldn't find it so we drove into town and asked at the Tourist Information. They gave us a map and showed us the way. They also had a photo gallery open so we went in to take a look. I didn't realize that we weren't suppose to take photos and I started clicking photo's of the girls looking at the pictures. This girl came out and said to me, excuse me can you please not take some photo's in here, these pictures are under copyright. :::oops::: I did delete those photos.
After the Art Gallery we decided to go and get lunch. McDonalds was just around the corner from the Tourist Info so we went there. It was packed. I have never seen a place with so many people lined up to be served. We changed our minds and decided to head over to KMart and go to KFC which was next door for lunch. We had lunch did our shopping and came home. We got back around 3.30 or so. It was good to spend sometime with the girls.

Past, Present and Future
Past reading...Funny in Farsi. Very very good. I LOVED this hilarious book about a young girl and her family moving to California from Iran in the 70's. Each chapter of the book is a funny story regarding family members. You must check it out from the library!!!
Present reading...A Homemade Life. My sister recommended this book to me and my Mom went out and bought it. While Mom is out of town I am reading the book and really liking it. It is also stories from the author's life (and kitchen table) and includes recipes. Most recipes look really yummy, I am dying to try the pink cookies (a favorite of mine from the U district in Seattle) but I haven't tried any of the recipes yet, I am still reading for now. Molly Wizenberg, the author, is the author/creator of the Orangette blog.
Future reading? I recently picked up "the Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie" from the library. I have only read a page or two, and wasn't completely taken. I will try again soon. It comes highly recommended. I hope it is as good as they say...

I was lunching at 676 Restaurant & Bar on Michigan Ave, located inside the Omni Hotel, when I noticed how much I really liked my coffee mug! The restaurant is a really nice lunch spot with floor to ceiling windows and delicious items (I ate Margarita Flatbread with pesto, hand rolled mozzarella, grilled tomatoes, pine nuts, and a Blue & Black Salad...so yummy).
My cup & saucer
Now you might be wondering "what makes an Awesome coffee cup & saucer?"
1. The handle is perfect for just about my whole hand
2. The rim is substantial & wide to let the coffee cool so I don't burn my tongue off
3. The cup is large enough so that my free hand has the option to "cup it" and it was thick so it doesn't burn too
4. The saucer angles up with that extra edge to support the spoon & the sugar
5. The style is modern & bright!
Looking underneath the saucer I discovered that the manufacture is Steelite- a hospitality provider...last time I checked theAuv doesn't count :(
So I am on a mission to find similar coffee mugs especially since I just purchased my first French Press from Bodum! I'll let you know how I get on with it...it should be interesting! It is the green way to brew fresh coffee and I've heard such tasty reviews of the coffee that comes from a French press. Suggestions on mugs and coffee brands would be appreciated.

Recently I've been thinking about sensuality and things I enjoy through the senses. Cradling a little baby in my arms. The smell of a rose against my nose. A bright orange and red sunrise. Some sensual stimulants are more intense than others might be. Red is a very sensual color for me. It might be another color for someone else, but for me its red. And then even more sensual would be a beautiful woman in a short red sundress. And then even more, is a beautiful woman out of a short red sundress.
All this is about sensuality. Stimulating visuals that activate my senses. For me, the female form, whether she is in a pair of tight jeans, or wearing a low-cut top, or wearing nothing at all, she is very sensually stimulating.
But then I wonder at what point does sensuality turn to sexuality. Is it all in the mind? Is it when I become aroused? But that doesn't always qualify. Because sometimes my heart just wants to do this flip-flop pitter-patter thing. Is that sexual? Or is a beautiful woman just stimulating my senses?
Here's another angle. I'm a lover of art. Art speaks to me in many different ways. The form of a woman has been the subject of painters since the beginning of art. Most are very sensual. Not arousing, but sensual. Stimulating. But give me a photo of a naked woman from Penthouse or an internet site and suddenly my cock wants to jump out of my pants! That stirs my sexual desires! I wonder then if it really might just be mind games. My mind tells me that woman in Penthouse, naked with a sexy look in her eyes, loves sex. Is it an attitude? I'm just not really sure about all this. But I'll keep pondering it all.

By: Helen Calder of Enliven Blog and a member of David McCracken Ministries
Do you want to hear God's purposes for your life and ministry, or receive a fresh infilling of His Spirit? Do you desire to encounter God and know Him more?
Prophetic worship is one way that you can have a face-to-face meeting with God—or provide a means for others to encounter Him. 'Prophetic praise and worship enables God's message to be brought, or His purpose to be accomplished, in a worship setting.' [1]
Here are 6 benefits of prophetic worship, followed with some ways that you can put this into practice in your personal life with God.
1. It Facilitates God Encounters.
God created us for face-to-face relationship with Him.
Our worship honours God and brings Him pleasure. However, if we view worship as being solely a one-way giving of our love and adoration to Jesus, we have not attained the highest purpose of worship.
God's desire has always been to commune with His people. Prophetic worship enables the Father's voice to be heard, His heartbeat to be felt, and His purpose to be accomplished.
When we encounter God in a time of prophetic worship, we are transformed and brought closer to Him. We leave that place knowing that God has touched our lives personally and that we will never be the same again.
2. It Enables us to Receive an Impartation from God
When we are yielded to Jesus in an attitude of love and worship, we are more receptive and open to Him than at any other time.
'Impartation' means a release of God's power into our lives. This can be an infilling of His Holy Spirit, or a specific attribute of His nature; for example, He may desire to infuse us with peace, strength or faith.
We can have an expectation that as God leads us in praise and worship, we and others will be healed and set free from oppression. Psalm 107:20 says, 'He sent out his word and healed them; he rescued them from the grave.'
The young David was employed by Saul to play the lyre. As David played, the anointing of God on his music caused the demonic oppression to lift from Saul. (1 Sam 16:14-23)
3. It Breaks open the Atmosphere for God to Move
We know that an open Heaven is our inheritance. However, there are times when we have to contend for it, whether in our personal lives or in the Church.
This is where prophetic praise is especially helpful.
Praise is prophetic when it is directed and empowered by the Holy Spirit to accomplish God's 'now' purpose for our lives or a particular meeting.
Prophetic praise is the Spirit-led proclamation of who God is, of His attributes, of what He has done and what He will accomplish.
Prophetic praise penetrates the atmosphere and pushes back oppression, apathy, fear or any other effects of spiritual warfare. (See 2 Chron 20, Psalm 149:5,9)
4. It Prepares Our Hearts for God's Word
Prophetic worship is, at its foundational level, Spirit-directed and Spirit-empowered worship.(John 4:23-24)
During a time of prophetic worship, the Holy Spirit has begun to speak to us and our hearts are opened towards God.
When the preaching or personal study of God's Word accompanies or follows prophetic worship, the two merge together and a continuum of inspiration from the Holy Spirit takes place.
5. We can Receive a Prophetic Message from God
In prophetic worship, God uses a song, instrumentation or other prophetic communication to speak His purpose into our lives—and that word has creative ability. Your Father may have a specific word of encouragement or instruction for you to receive.
Whether personally, or corporately in a meeting, prophetic worship provides both the expectation and the opportunity for God to speak to us. (1 Cor 14:26)
6. It is Powerful When Specific Breakthrough is Needed
Prophetic praise celebrates the fulfilment of God's promises before they are manifested in the natural realm. Prophetic praise is one vehicle that God uses to release His power and bring about His purposes in our lives and in the Church.
We see examples of the power of prophetic praise in the Bible.
King Jehoshaphat sent singers and musicians out ahead of his army to celebrate the victory God had promised through His prophet. The battle was won as God routed the armies in front of the praisers. (2 Chron 20)
A song of prophetic praise was also significant to releasing God's provision (Num 21:17-18), transforming barrenness into fruitfulness (Isaiah 54:1-3) and overcoming obstacles and persecution. (Acts 16)
How to Incorporate Prophetic Worship into your Personal Life
Last week I looked at prophetic worship in the Church setting. However we can also use prophetic worship in our personal life with God.
Note that any prophetic revelation (beyond general encouragement) received during personal times of worship need to be weighed up and followed through with leadership.[2]
1. 'Soaking' worship means positioning ourselves before God in a dual attitude of worship and of receiving or hearing from Him. As we yield to His Spirit, He fills us, empowers us and speaks to us.
Discover the unique way of connecting with God that suits you—for example, finding a quiet place accompanied by a worship CD, or walking outdoors in an attitude of worship and receiving. The key is to take time and to be intentional.
2. Develop a playlist of songs that are God's 'now' encouragement for you personally, and listen to them regularly.
3. If you are a musician, take time with your instrument to worship God without a practice agenda. As you do, wait on Him for fresh inspiration, believe He is filling you with His Spirit, and allow Him to fill your heart and mind with the Father's personal message to you and others.
4. When attending a worship gathering with others, enter in wholeheartedly and with the expectation that you will personally meet with God and receive All He has for you.

Best bit of your weekend
It was unexpectedly a fairly nice day, so far Spring has been very wet this year in the UK. I am no real gardener and have a very overgrown, neglected garden, but 10yo and I spent a lot of time clearing on Sunday and dug a small border to plant the dahlia and two courgettes. It felt so nice in the evening to step out the back door and see all the work we'd done.
Photo for today was hard to choose as Southwold was lovely too and yielded many happy photos!

There is one person who has really touched me and who has really opened up. She has been there since the beginning and still continues to be there for me. Connie has become a really good friend and I cannot imagine having brought both boys home without her support and honesty. Our stories are similar in how we came to bringing home not one, but two precious kids from China. We both were a surprised when we were being called upon to bring home an older child. But we answered His call, and because of that, I not only added a son to my family, but a dear, dear, friend.
Connie is an amazing woman and mother and just today she posted on her blog some BIG news. Yep, you guessed it. Connie and her hubby are going back to China to bring home a beautiful baby girl. Beautiful does not even begin to describe this little girl. Although Connie is unable share any information about her, I have seen her (which is a story for another day about how God can be pretty amazing), so I know just how beautiful she is.
Adoption is expensive, plain and simple. I know that for us, if it weren't for us taking a huge leap of faith, we would not have Mylee, Drew, and Jaxon. But because we answered His call, and completely trusted in Him, our family is bigger but so much more blessed. Adoption is rarely something that is done just once in a family. There are very few families I have come across that have only adopted once. Once our eyes are opened, it is impossible not to do something. Well, Clayton and Connie's eyes have been opened, and they are taking action. They are answering His call once again to being home a precious baby girl who needs a family.
They can't do it alone. They need our help. They are once again taking a huge leap of faith knowing that this is exactly what He wants them to do. Clayton and Connie are having a giveaway on their blog for some pretty cool prizes, one of which is a HP Netbook! So, instead of going out to dinner this weekend, or heading to the mall to buy a pair of shoes you don't really need, take a minute to really think how much you could change the life of a child by just waling away. Right now their goal is $5000. That is alot of money. But, when you sit back and think about the bigger picture, that is a drop in the bucket. If 200 people donate just $25.00 (which is probably less than dinner out or a new pair of shoes), round one will be accomplished. Clayton and Connie will be one step closer to adding one more "K" to the "Krew." So, what are you waiting for? Pop on over to Connie's blog and help make a difference in the life of a child and in the lives of her family.
Oh, and while you're at it, head on over to Lori's bog and check out how you can help her bring her son home and get a really cool t-shirt in the process.
God is doing some AMAZING things right now in the adoption community. I am SO blessed and honored to be a part of it.

This little bugger is fifteen months already! And he's a handful. I fear these pictures are a very poor depiction of what this little guy really is like..... if you know him well, you know what I mean! This kid can throw some stellar fits!!
Aww, so sweet and cute....
Pure innocence, how could he ever be a stinker....
"Who, little ol' me? Eat me up, I'm always this darling"
It is quite apparent that I need to start getting my camera out when he's throwing his fits. If I'm going gray in a year or two, you have been foretold! He really is a good natured kid. As long as he's not tired. Or hungry. Or mad about being in his car seat. Or being bothered by his sister. :) In other words, our kids are like night and day.
Differences make life a little more challenging and interesting. And they are good for us! Just think, We'd still think we were just great parents if we had another kid like Brooklyn.
Tucker must have thought that was pretty funny too.
Just for fun, here is our angel child at fifteen months as well. (for comparison sake... because i think it's intersting)
Wait, she wasn't always an angel either!?!!
Oh, good! That makes me feel a bit better about Tucker.
Hope you have a poop free, scream free, fight free, cry free day!
Also... I really do love my kids!

Hello again -
I am sorry for not posting these photos earlier. But life has been really busy since Marny left. Unfortunately the pictures were uploaded in a mix of dates - but I think that is okay.
We all have enjoyed Marny's visit so much, I haven't giggled like this in ages. I know we did wear her out at times. But there was so little time and so much to show. I had planned to take her to Strassbourg and the Rhinefalls, but both trips were cancelled by the bus company. Memo: on the list for next visit...
We did go to the Black Forrest ( a must when in the area) and we went to an outdoor museum in Hessen (my home state). There we spend the holidays with my family. She got to see downtown Frankfurt.
Hope you enjoy the pictures and when you come near the Black Forrest, contact me - it will be ma pleasure to meet you!

Book of the Month Progress and a Giveaway
I finally gathered together some fabric last night, and chose a plan. But now I'm not sure if I'll make one or two, with the second idea having one more fabric thrown in.
Here's the fabric for one,
and the proposed layout,
I liked it until I read 'avoid an entirely monochromatic selection unless you add black or white. Try to include a zinger fabric.' Not that monochromatic won't work....
So, in comes a zinger fabric.
and here's the proposed layout with a bit of yellow
Hmm, maybe better. Which one do you like??
I really can't decide, so that's why I may make both. I've got two days..
Now for the contest. Leave me a comment as to which you prefer and why. One lucky person will win this beautiful Ocean Mist, 1200 yd spool of Essential Egyptian cotton from Connecting Threads.
Duplicate entries will not be counted, and please, leave me your email if you are a no-reply blogger, otherwise, I can't reach you! The contest is open until midnight Jan 31. Thanks, and good luck!
Happy Quilting!

Definitely add in the yellow fabric. Nothing adds zip, zing and zest to a quilt than a touch of yellow. . . . . Myra in downtown Fort Wayne, IN, USAReplyDelete
I'm on the fence, I like fabrics for #1 but not the drawing. I like #2 drawing but not the fabrics with the zinger! But its a soft yellow so I'm going with #2, I don't think it will pull the eye too much. either way is going to be good.ReplyDelete

The yellow is the bomb... to spark it up, and I amnot usually a yellow lover,,LOLReplyDelete
I like the monochromatic version - but my family tells me I'm boring!ReplyDelete
I like the extra color added in. Maybe make it a brighter yellow, or even a hot pink? I like splash!!ReplyDelete
definitely the one with the yellow! I love it!!!! and I love connecting threads thread! thanks for the chanceReplyDelete
I like the second one with the yellow. The first quilt I made was a turning twenty that was going to be all blue, but my LQS owner insisted that I put some yellow into it, so I did 8 FQs of yellow and 12 of blue - turned out beautiful!! With the top all-blue one, you could substitute white for the lightest blue too. They will be beautiful!ReplyDelete
Definitely add the yellow! POP!ReplyDelete
I'm liking the addition of the yellow...it makes the quilt pattern pop. Only two days left...no pressure.ReplyDelete
I like the proposed layout with a bit of yellow!ReplyDelete
I think I like it with the yellow, it's brighter. I like the idea of making them both.ReplyDelete
Susan the yellow really makes it pop.ReplyDelete
I like what the yellow adds. Thanks for the giveaway.ReplyDelete
definitely the 2nd one....zing always makes it better...LOLReplyDelete
I like the monochromatic better but both are great.ReplyDelete
IMO the big patches of very dark blue are distracting. Can you use the very dark as one of the smaller patches? Perhaps a blue-with-yellow and a yellow-with-blue as transitions between all-blue and all-yellow?ReplyDeleteReplies
I agree with Nann regarding the very dark blue. It is very dominant in the design, but perhaps that is what you are wanting! I like the addition of the yellow.Delete
I like the lighter color added. I think it adds a great "twinkle".ReplyDelete
I also agree about the yellow, it's just enough to give it that pop we all look for. :)ReplyDelete
The bundle of fabric with the added "pixie dust" of Yellow! :)ReplyDelete
I like both color combos, although the yellow would ready make the quilt sing. I would love to see both finished. Both would be beautiful! I am amazed at all you get done. The thread is beautiful. I would love to win it. It would be perfect for a top I finished last year that has been sitting around waiting for me to quilt it. Have a great day!ReplyDelete
I really like the monochromatic. The yellow does not do anything but make a distraction to my eye.ReplyDelete
Pattern like this is a very personal choice.
I think I like the all blue one. Both are pretty though.ReplyDelete
both are pretty , thanks for the fiveawayReplyDelete
I like the idea of adding another color to give it that extra zing. If you don't care for yellow, maybe an orange or lime would do the trick.ReplyDelete
Hmmmm... interesting.... I just read most of the comments and most peoplel like the yellow added. I don't like the one wtih the yellow at all. As soon as I look at that quilt, my eyes are drawn to the yellow and I just can't get past the yellow to really notice the design. i definitely like the one that is only shades of blue. Maybe a color not as contrasting as the yellow would work better - at least for me it would.ReplyDelete

OMD!!! Late again
Well I have no excuse for being late this morning other than the fact that I kept turning over and going back to sleep, this is all new to me, its not something that I do, however I am just going with it, as I must need some sleep.
Especially after the excitement of yesterday.
So I got myself all settled down to watch the match and by 11.00.10am I was screaming so loud that the neighbours must have wondered what was going on, and what was going on was a dropped catch off the first ball of Luke fletcher!
Well that set the tone of the innings for Notts as there was some scrappy fielding and Mark Stoneman hit an unbeaten 144 to see Surrey on 279-9 at the end of their 50 overs.
I nipped to the local Co op in the break, this was my last ever visit as the store that has been there forever closed last night to be taken over by Macolls. End of an era at Neville Parade.
back home I settled down for the Notts innings,
Losing Lumb before the 4th over was not looking good, but Hales plodded on, and on and on and over took Geoff Boycotts record .
Players can in and went without really making a dent in the score, the soon to be retiring captain Chris Read came in and hit a great 58. the runs were clocking up.
James Pattinson came in, his last match for the team and now unemployed as the Australian pay talks still have not been resolved.
Hales and Pattinson saw the team through to an amazing win. Hales with an outstanding knock of 187.
Luke fletcher was so excited that I was worried the balcony would collapse!
What a well deserved win!
So the One Day cricket is done and we now move onto T20 with my first outing on Friday when Notts come to Headingley.
A big night out for all.
As for the Australia debacle, well it looks as if its not resolved the A team tour will be in jepoardy ( rather than South Africa!) and will mean that Jason Gillespie will be unemployed too.............
Right I am off to strim and trim the lawn edges and tackle the weeds, make up the beds and probably hoover through the house.
Then its time to continue with the clearout and get things on ebay.
Never a dull moment here at the Chateau.
News from France, my sister has found me a bar to buy and has got her rail card, so there is no stopping her. She will be looking for a car as soon as she gets back form her 'mini holiday'.
Right you are up to date with all things so I am off to be productive!

Gospel: I believe that the Gospel is the good news that a penitent sinner under the wrath of God can be justified through faith alone in the Person and work of the Lord Jesus Christ in His substitutionary death on the cross and bodily resurrection. Romans 3; 5; 10; Ephesians 2; I Corinthians 15
Salvation: I believe that Biblical salvation is a glorious gift received completely by the grace of God through faith in the person and work of the Lord Jesus Christ. Romans 3; 5; 10; Ephesians 2; I Corinthians 15
Explanation: I believe that there are three aspects that must be understood properly in regards to Biblical salvation. They are justification, sanctification, and glorification.
- Part 1: Justification is a one time legal act whereby an unrighteous man is declared righteous positionally before a holy God based fully on the merits and work of the Lord Jesus Christ on the cross. This is a permanent position and is neither strengthened nor weakened by the works of the man who has been justified, because it is by grace alone and free from any work of man. This act is described as eternal salvation from the penalty of sin. This is the focus of evangelism. Romans 3:20-28; 5:1, 6-9
- Part 2: Sanctification is a life long process whereby a now regenerate man is delivered from the power and imprint of indwelling sin. Through the renewing of the mind, a believer is conformed into the image of Jesus Christ, the God-man. This is a day by day process which can never be truly completed in the presence of indwelling sin. This process is co-operative in nature, yet it too is a work of God's grace. This is the focus of discipleship. John17; Romans 6, 8; Philippians 2; II Corinthians 3
- Part 3: Glorification: is the culminating act of our salvation which we often refer to as the blessed hope of the believer. This is the point in time when the believer will receive a glorified body free from the taint of sin and the presence of the effects of the fall. This also is an act of the grace of God promised and guaranteed at the point of justification. Romans 8; I Peter 1; II Corinthians 15; II Thessalonians 5; Ephesians 6
Eternal Security: I believe that the believer's position in Christ is eternally secure being all of grace, and that there is nothing that can be done to strength or weaken this position in Christ. John 5; John 6; John 10; Romans 5; Romans 8; I Corinthians 1; Ephesians 1; Ephesians 4; Hebrews 13; I Peter 1; Jude 24
Specific issues regarding salvation:
- I believe that Christ's sacrificial death was for the sins of all mankind; however a man is not justified before God until he humbly repents of his self-righteousness and dead religion to place his faith alone in the Person and work of the Lord Jesus Christ. Salvation is by grace through faith and free from works. Romans 3:22, 24-26; Romans 5:6; 18; I Timothy 2:6; I John 2:2; Ephesians 2:8-10
- I believe that at the moment of the justification, a sinner under the wrath of God and separated relationally from God is declared righteous; forgiven of all sins past, present, and future; becomes a child of God; is indwelt with the Holy Spirit; is baptized into the body of Christ, and becomes a new creature in Christ. Romans 3:24-26; Romans 5:1-5; Romans 6:1-6; II Corinthians 5:17
- I believe that it is the desire and will of God that all men be born again. I Timothy 2:4; II Peter 3:9
- I believe that no man can or will come to the Father apart from the convicting work of the Spirit of God by means of the preached Word. John 6:44-46; John 16:7-11; Romans 10:14-17
- I believe that many reject the clear call of God to salvation and that whosoever believeth on Him shall not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16; Romans 10:16-21
- I believe that the believer's election is a place of privilege and blessing, and is completely secured by the grace of God, and is based upon the foreknowledge of God. Romans 8:28-31; I Peter 1:2

Loved this day with sweet friends!

Drive By Yarning
My gauge is 18 stitches and 24 rows with these needles, but I knit Continental Style and very loosely.
Work K1, P1 rib for 1.5 inches.
Switch to size 6 dpns, putting 22 stitches on each needle.
Work in plain stocking stitch until hat measures 6 inches from cast on edge.
Repeat decrease rows (as follows) until eight stitches remain--two stitches per needle. End with row 1.
Row 1: K2tog, knit to two last stitches on needle, SSK. Repeat for all 4 needles.
Row 2: Knit all stitches.
Do not stretch to block. Wash gently in mild soap and allow to dry flat. Hard blocking will stretch the ribbing.

Soap Sweater
I got the pattern idea off of Ravelry. I didn't follow it, though. I just started knitting something "soap shaped" to fit a nice bar of lovely smelling soap.
I used the leftover balls of singles I get when I ply. I keep them all in a basket and I'm always finding uses for them.
This sweater is 100% wool and will felt and shrink down as the soap is used. Fun.

Make a kid happy in less than an hour...

My Purl 5 Together Hack
I've started the Lily of the Valley border for my Swallowtail Shawl. The purl 5 together stitches are a big pain in the neck, especially since silk is slippery and inelastic. There have been many times when I have not used a lace pattern because of the dreaded "purl 5 together." Now I don't have an excuse.

Crochet - Granny Bobble Cap
My handspun, one ply was Hanspinner's Dream Alpaca top from Alpacas With a Twist. The other ply was Montana Targhee wool.
I crocheted this from the top down. Entire pattern was improvised. Bow is worn in the back, so it doesn't show much, it's more of a safety feature in this insane Montana wind.
My husband hates this hat. Ha ha ha.

So I got tagged...
Me7of11 tagged me for a meme. I've never done this before, but here I go.
1. Link to the person that tagged you and post the rules on your blog.
2. Share 7 random and/or weird things about yourself.
3. Tag 7 random people at the end of your post and include links to their blogs.
4. Let each person know that they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.
About me...
1. My joints all hyperextend. My arms look broken when they are fully "straight" to me.
2. I brush my tongue until I gag every day. I also have to floss. I can't stand not to.
3. My maternal grandparents were Scottish and they made me take highland dancing lessons. I hated it. (Imagine a chubby girl dressed in wool, jumping over swords in the Texas heat. Ugh!)
4. I didn't own a television as an adult until I was 28. People tried to give me tvs all of the time and I refused because I don't really like to watch television. I lose interest almost immediately and start knitting or reading. The only reason I finally got one was for my children.
5. I love bird nests. I throw my yarn scraps in the back yard for the birds to use. I also clean my hairbrushes outside so they can use the hair.
6. I love the smell of wet wool and I hate the smell of wet alpaca.
7. I am a Jesus Freak. I can't help it.
I'm tagging Lavender Knits, Beth, La Needle Loca, Life Changes After Birth, Stephanie, Crafty Griffin (although I could swear she was tagged earlier), and Ava. I'll be commenting on their blogs later.

As if I didn't have enough on the needles...
My husband did a bit of tsk tsking when he saw me cast on this Swallowtail Shawl from IK Fall 2006. I don't care. The yarn is awesome. (A perfect gift from my dearest friend--a green yarn the exact color of my eyes.)
The dog ate my original copy of this magazine before I really read it. I found the pattern again through Ravelry and my local yarn shop had a back issue.
This project is very fun and the silk is heavenly. Unlike Ick-arus, the actual triangle-building part of the shawl is patterned and engaging.
Unfortunately for me, Captain Smith (my doctor) put me in a "cock up" wrist brace and the knitting is slow. He says I will have to relearn how to knit and spin with the brace on, but that I will pick up speed as I learn to position my hand and wrist. Spinning was effortless because I was teaching myself the long draw woolen technique. Knitting is another story...

Uncle Alan
Men without hair need hats more than anyone.
I knit this as a test for David's watch cap. It's my handspun. I'm amazed at how such lumpy looking yarn knit up pretty smoothly. The hat has raglan decreases and a deep cuff. I tried it on and it's plenty warm.
It really needs to be viciously lint brushed before it goes out the door.
Thursday, December 6, 2007
Aunt Carolyn
Because I seem to have more aunts than a picnic, I knit another bright hat. Aunt Carolyn teaches second grade. She's a purple lover. I knit this baby for her out of a BFL single. I dyed it with drink mix. (I was going through a phase...) I knit it at a pretty tight gauge to prevent the inevitable pilling that comes from single ply yarns.
I hope she likes it. It shows plenty of ear cleavage. I knit it more for sass than warmth. Oh, and I ran out of yarn.
Tuesday, December 4, 2007
Sweet Alpaca
2-ply handspun yarn...one ply is handpainted alpaca from Spunky Eclectic and one ply is undyed targhee fleece from Sugarloaf Mills.
David bought me 11 pounds of the targee I used. He bought it for me at the Montana State Fair. We walked to the car with a giant bag of fleece as if he'd won me the biggest stuffed animal in a carnival game. Rednecks can be so romantic.
This yarn looks yummy and sugary-sweet. It will be a gift for my bestest best best friend. She's a natural platinum blonde and looks like an angel in pink.
Speaking of sweet, my four year old daughter unloaded the dishwasher while I was in the shower. She stacked the dishes under the cupboards they belong in. All of the silverware was put away, including the spatulas and mixing spoons. I am convinced that the hospital sent the wrong baby home, but I am keeping her.

Seussical Socks
Oh, Christmas Tree
I dyed a bunch of cotton for a surprise project for David to take to Korea. I hope it turns out the way I want. I don't usually dye cotton, so I just bought a tie dye kit for Jacquard. It was pretty fun and the colors are nice.
Friday, November 30, 2007
A Year
I don't feel like knitting right now. I know I'll do it later. I can't send him to Korea without new socks, an afghan, pillows...
A year.

Letter to Santa, Give Mama Some Yarn
I don't know how to rotate videos on Blogger. If anyone knows how, please leave a comment.
Angel Hair and Baby's Breath
I'm having a lot of fun remixing old yarns with new handspun.
I plied a handspun wool single with vintage "Opalesce" yarn from Reynolds (45% Viscose/ 21% Wool/ 15% Acrylic/ 12% Mohair). The result is lofty, silky, fluffy, shiny...
As long as my house is a foster home for abandoned yarns, I'm going to find them new lives.

Christmas Tea Clapotis Shawl
I'm making a door prize for a Women's Tea at my church. It's Clapotis from Knitty.com.
The yarn is my own handspun/dyed.
They are rioting at Ravelry about this pattern. I guess it's overdone. This is my first time knitting it and I'm having a blast. It's like knitting a waltz. One, two, three...one, two three... Kate Gilbert is a genius!

Cloudy Cowl
My sweater finished blocking. It's hard to see from the picture, but it has about 2 inches of ease. I love it. I took all of the leftovers I had and made a quick easy cowl.
I cast on 50 stitches with a size 11 needle using a provisional cast on and smooth linen waste yarn.
I knit every row until I had 5 feet left.
I picked out the cast on, put the stitches on a spare circular needle, twisted the work 1/2 of a turn, and grafted. Easy.
Grafting is easier than people say it is. Just ignore the directions and use your tapestry needle to make an imaginary row of stitches in between the two needles. When people tell you how to do it, they just mess you up.
