Is the overseas deployment of Japan's Self-Defense Force (SDF) illegal? Rethinking the Japanese contribution to international peace and security
Noriko Hashimoto
February 10, 2009
Noriko Hashimoto discusses the legal and political arguments around the deployment of Japan's self defense forces (SDF) for overseas missions, going beyond the constitutional debate to question the broader concept of national contributions to international society.
The overseas deployment of Japan's Self-Defense Force (SDF) is illegal, which was the court decision on April 17th 2008. The Supreme Court of Nagoya, Japan ruled that to deploy the Japan Self-Defense Forces (SDF) to Iraq is against article 9, chapter 1 of the Japanese Constitution, which was the first time the court made such a judgment since the formulation of the constitution (Yomiuri online and Stop Iraq War, 2008). There is a long-standing argument over revision of the Japanese Constitution, at least as old as the constitution itself. Recent historical events, for instance the Gulf War and the Iraq war, became a trigger of this series of arguments, and have characterized the policies of each major political party in Japan. However, this argument goes far beyond a political disagreement between political parties; it poses a larger question of international cooperation toward peace. It was thought that militarily cooperation was not necessary for international cooperation, that there are alternative ways to cooperate among nations and contribute to international peace.
This paper reviews the argument for dispatching the SDF to Iraq in the context of the Japanese constitution, and beyond that, examines the whole concept of international cooperation through dispatching SDF in the future. Therefore, it will respond to the new concept of international cooperation in reference to representative arguments over SDF.
Background- situation surrounding the article 9 of Japanese Constitution-
The Constitution of Japan went into effect after World War II in 1946, and immediately, arguments over article 9 and the role of the SDF had already started. Article 9 of the Japanese constitution is composed of 2 paragraphs: the first paragraph states a renunciation of war, while the second paragraph renounces the maintenance of armed forces and the right of state belligerency.
Article 9: The Constitution of Japan, 1946
1. Aspiring sincerely to an international peace based on justice and order, the Japanese people forever renounce war as a sovereign right of the nation and the threat or use of force as means of settling international disputes.
2. In order to accomplish the aim of the preceding paragraph, land, sea, and air forces, as well as other war potential, will never be maintained. The right of belligerency of the state will not be recognized.
Although 148 countries have constitutions that support pacifism in some sense (Nishi, 2006), the Japanese constitution being one of them, what makes article 9 special is that it denies the maintenance of any armed force in paragraph 2. Very few states have such a strongly worded and explicit renouncement of war. Even though the constitution prohibits the possession of the military force, however, the Japanese SDF was created, with a full Army-Navy-Air Force, in 1954, due primarily to international politics.
Arguments over Article 9 became favorable topics of political argument. This argument among political parties has been continuing since 1948. But one of big turning point was that in 2005, Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) -- the biggest political party in Japan—submitted a draft amendment of the Japanese constitution. The draft poses an argument for the necessity of revision of the Japanese constitution, especially article 9, because Japan dispatched troops to Iraq. The draft advocated establishing SDF as an official force. And soon after, the biggest opponent party, the Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ), presented basically the same suggestion for revising the constitution. It seems so strange that their opinion is almost the same, even though both parties had been fighting furiously against each other to gain political power. Both parties argued that the SDF should be given its legality, as long as SDF exists, and wanted to legitimize the fact that the government had dispatched them.
On the other hand, minority political parties, especially the Japanese Communist Party (JCP) and Social Democratic Party (SDP), are consistently against amending the Constitution.[1] But so far, they are not much involved to this argument. Many people do not trust them totally and have certain negative images of both parties based on the history of the student movement in the 1970's and 1980's. Article 9 and its argument are also attached to these images, even if we have to discuss carefully, and the political position of JCP and SDP, anti-revision, has not been mainstream.
But the mainstream cannot be taken for granted, and peoples' images and ideas about article 9 are in the process of change. Civil society is responding to this argument through social movement. Although little by little, discussion is being open to people. The success of Global Article 9 Conference to Abolish War is fresh in our memory. [2]It could mobilize 10,000 people (Global Article 9 Conference to Abolish War, ABC News, 2008). It is than any previous in history of constitution.
It is a simplification to classify the argument as "pro-revision vs. anti-revision". In fact, these arguments are complex in terms of political positions. According to Isezaki's classification of positions to this argument, 6 types of arguments can be seen. The main political stances toward the constitution are revisionist, safe-guardian, and those who argue for some kind of middle position, but these three stances contain different opinions as well.
Although these arguments should not be simplified, in this chapter, the opinions of pro-dispatching SDF and anti-dispatching SDF to Iraq will be focused on, in light of internal political and legal aspects, as well as international relations.
The pro-dispatching SDF argument
According to a survey that was done by Asahi Shinbun, 31% of valid responses agreed to send the SDF to Iraq. This position is generally supported by the argument of international cooperation (Asahi Shinbun, 2003). Former Prim Minister Koizumi justified the decision to send the SDF to Iraq with the following 3 points: To send SDF to Iraq is to help Iraq people and support international cooperation; the SDF would be offering humanitarian assistance and would not be using force; it is important for Japan's international relations with the U.S.
In the context of international relations, there is a representative argument that Japan is member of the UN, and that to dispatch the SDF is part of our responsibility as a member of international society, and as a major economic power. In addition, Japan can afford to have its own military force and dispatch them to UN mission upon the request. But there is a question to the argument that the constitution must be adjusted to the reality that the Japanese government has possessed the SDF for more than 50 years: why not adjust the government to the constitution?
The anti-dispatching SDF argument
The opinions of pro-constitution elements, against SDF deployment, are mainly rooted in legal arguments. As a counter argument to the pro-SDF, Asashi shinbun reported that people disagree with putting Japanese soldiers at risk, since Iraq is not safe. Of course, there is also the constitution, chapter 2 of article 9 of which prohibits the possessing of any armed force. The constitution clearly states, in its opening words, that the government should not lead Japan to war, since wars cause tremendous sufferings to many people of the world, including one's own people. As mentioned above, The Supreme Court of Nagoya ruled that the Japanese government's decision to dispatch the SDF to Iraq was unconstitutional, based on chapter 1 of article 9. The government argued that the SDF were participates in logistics, and that they had not sent the SDF to "war", but as long as their logistical work is part of a military operation, the mission that SDF was dispatched must be considered a military operation. In fact, this court decision is legally nonbinding but it had a significant impact on the public.[3]
In the context of international relations, there is no international legislature; rather, there is an idea that UN is just a group of sovereign states. Japan never gave up its sovereignty and gave it to UN. Therefore, to send troops into another country is still a state responsibility, and under the name of Japan. States have a responsibility to make such decisions carefully, and with the best interests of their people in mind.
International cooperation and dispatching SDF
Arguments such as those mentioned above tend to heat up when international society faces some crisis. For instance, in 1991, during the Gulf War, the U.S.-led multinational force asked the Japanese Government for support. But Japan could not send its troops because it was obviously military operation, which meant a violation of the Japanese constitution. The Japanese government decided to offer 13 billion-dollars instead of sending SDF. After the war, Japan was accused by the United States and others of not doing enough to help the war effort, only sending money and not dispatching its own troops. Some academia pointed out that Japanese government was traumatized by this criticism; Japanese diplomacy was criticized as diplomacy "in check". The image of Japanese diplomacy was that it would rather pay money than give any real sacrifice for international society (Uesugi, 2008c p9). This set the tone for dispatching SDF to other countries as an obligation of international cooperation, and the next time the same question came around. In 1992, after the Gulf War, the International Peace Cooperation Law was implemented, which began a new chapter in the history of international cooperation in Japan. This law became the legal base when Japan passed a resolution to send the SDF to Iraq.
These events call attention to the fact that some very important points have been left behind. The legal argument is still a big issue to be discussed, but we have to look beyond it, and examine how the Japanese government contributes to international community. The constitutional argument alone cannot solve the issues that the Japanese government faces when they respond to requests from international society. For this, the following points should be examined: the government's responsibility to international society.
Is it a PKO responsibility to dispatch the SDF?
In the spirit of the constitution, we could say "yes". As mentioned above, the constitution encourages working positively for international peace. Of course, it doesn't mean that Japan is requested to dispatch SDF strongly from other countries. But it should be emphasized that Japan does not adopt isolationism. Japan is responsible to positively engage for international peace by using its resources. Before answering the question above, we have to examine necessity of international cooperation in terms of state responsibility to response emergency situations.
Japan has a responsibility to help other countries due to the following reasons. First of all, Japan can afford to help other countries. To support other countries, it is not required but it is preferable state stability and long-term peace. So far, Japan meets these two conditions. Second, Responsibility to Protect (R2P) will be the one of strong grounded reasons why Japan need to help others. International society has to response to certain situations in terms of the perspective of humanitarianism. Japan is not exception of R2P. Last point is international cooperation to maintain peace meets long-term national interests. It is motivated economical reasons but most of condition for prosperity is peace and political stability. It is not only regional peace and stability but also global because of globalism.
These reasons are enough to support idea of state responsibility for conflict situations. But these points do not mean that to dispatch SDF to PKO is obligation. As will be mentioned later, there are options how to support. So Japan doesn't need to stick this idea. Even though the international community needs a force powerful enough to respond to the R2P (Uesugi, 2008b p3), Japan should have the freedom to follow its own way to take its responsibility to protect people who are suffering, without necessarily using force.
Now, Japan needs to consider again the form of possible international cooperation. Based on constitutional ground, to dispatch SDF to Iraq to support UN military operation is illegal. But Japan cannot stop assisting international society. Japan has to think how to respond to the requests of the international community.
Isezaki argues that the constitution does not advocate a hands-off approach. Rather, it advocates active pacifism, because the Constitution states in its preceding sentence (2008, p77):
We desire to occupy an honored place in an international society striving for the preservation of peace, and the banishment of tyranny and slavery, oppression and intolerance for all time from the earth. We recognize that all peoples of the world have the right to live in the peace, free from fear and want.
Those who strongly oppose SDF deployment easily answer this constitutional responsibility. Their argument is that Japan should not get involved in missions related to military operations, and should focus on more root causes of conflict such as poverty. It makes sense. But, even if international society aims to reduce poverty and thus reduce violence, it does not spend nearly enough money on this issue, as the history of foreign aid has proven. In addition, even though international society has been making full effort to deal with conflicts for less victims and damages, it is never enough (Isezaki, 2008).
As a general point on international cooperation, monetary support for UN operations, such as Japan's support of the first Gulf War, should be recognized and valued. Japan should not be ashamed of the way it offered support, especially because international society was seriously lacking of funds, and depended heavily of Japan's contribution. But, in the future, the money that Japan offers to other nations should be monitored, and should not be given in a lump-sum. It is also important that Japan inform these things clearly to it own citizens.
Taking a position between the extreme pro-SDF and anti-SDF arguments, my opinion is that Japan can use the SDF as one form of international cooperation, along with aid. But Japan should design a clear diplomatic policy on this matter, before dispatching the SDF to other countries. One of the weaknesses of Japan is international diplomacy. Then, Japan has not taken advantage of acquired skills and knowledge for long time. As Isezaki has suggested, there are some options for the SDF to play a significant role in post-conflict societies. For instance, to take a part of Security Sector Reform (SSR), and the observation of ceasefires are possibilities. These missions are not necessarily required to use force, and thus they do not violate the constitution (Isezaki, 2008).
[1] From the very beginning, Prime Minister Yoshida who came from LDP supported Article 9 because in most cases war had started under the name of self-defense. Therefore any defense force should not allow to exist during the deliberation of congress (1946, the Diet). The JCP and SDP, on the other hand, insisted that the Japanese government had to have armed force as sovereign state.
[2] Global Article 9 Conference to Abolish War was held in Tokyo Japan in 2008, which took place from May 4-6, 2008. (Global Article 9 Conference to Abolish War, ABC News, 2008).
[3] Since it is a court decision by one of the regional Supreme Courts, ruling from a lower court cannot enforce the law.

Huge Bellingham mural may be state's largest
Is this the biggest mural in Washington?
A Seattle artist has created what he says is the largest hand-painted mural in Washington state on the back walls of the recently renovated Dewey Griffin Subaru dealership on Iowa Street in Bellingham.
Ryan Henry Ward, who signs his work as henry (lower case), went to Western Washington University's Fairhaven College, where his degree program mixed writing, art, and storytelling for children.
After college, he worked in Bellingham as a social worker until he became a full-time artist. The Seattle Weekly called him "Seattle's most prolific muralist."
Ward described his Bellingham project as "a combination of Dr. Seuss and Picasso."
It covers 8,000 square feet and shows cartoonish animals backpacking, snowboarding and singing around a campfire.
And driving Subarus, of course.
"I wanted to do a mural that kinda captured the spirit of Bellingham a little bit, like what people here really enjoy doing," Ward said.
The artist also planned to paint a smaller mural in the children's waiting area at Dewey Griffin, said company spokeswoman Tanya McKinney.

You don't stop using your skills – or expanding your skills – after you get the job. As anyone who has been employed knows, to be a productive and indispensable employee, you must be forward-thinking and continue to grow your skill set. As a professional, what do you do to expand your skills on the job?
I asked several iSpeak blog contributors what they do on-the-job to grow their skills. Here are some of their responses:
- "One thing I do is sit in on other workshops. Even if I have attended that workshop before, I watch someone different do it to get ideas for activities or information. Sometimes, I am able to learn new things from my own co-workers, and I didn't have to travel far or spend any money doing it."
Is there something you could learn from your co-workers that could be implemented in your job?
- "I took an assessment of my strengths recently and was surprised at the results! I found I had strength in collecting and storing information (facts, data, and statistics) but I rarely shared it with people who could benefit from my knowledge. Now I purposely seek out opportunities to share my knowledge, and my colleagues know that I am a person who enjoys answering their questions."
Assessing yourself and continuing your career development is essential. What could you learn about yourself that could apply right now to your job?
- "Recently, it's just been agreeing to new work responsibilities and learning on the job. This has included some online software training and most often teaching myself new features or uses for software I already use, like Excel."
- "I make myself available and actively propose to take on new tasks that belong to the set of skills I am interested in developing. It's amazing how many related skills you can fail to develop if you do not proactively seek opportunities to develop them. I'd say that every time we do things the same way we had done them before we miss a chance to expand our skills. And that is scary, because the first instinct is to get things done as quickly as possible without taking any risk."
- "I do things that challenge and stretch me. I don't stay in my comfort zone, which would be mostly sitting behind desk writing or analyzing data. Sometimes I take on new projects purposefully; other times I'm a little more pushed into it. But even with those projects that don't feel like a great fit with my skill set initially, I usually realize when they're done that they've given me skills or perspectives that serve me well and "round me out" as an employee and a person."
What do you do every day at work? Is there a project or activity at work you could participate in that would push you out of your comfort zone?
- "I joined Toastmasters to expand my communication skills, have taken leadership and management training, and seek out books that will help me better understand myself and others (such as Strengths Finder, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, and Emotional Intelligence 2.0)."
Joining a professional association is a great way to stay current in your profession. Are there any other groups, organizations or training that could help you expand your skill set?
- "My two guiding philosophies about professional development are: 1) You can learn something new every day. 2) Be forward thinking in your skills development."
We're interested in learning from you, too. How have you continued to learn, grow and expand your skills at work?

Compares are useful for preparing a migration, but should be run at the appropriate time and under the appropriate circumstances. Here are some principles to keep in mind when comparing a project with records in it:
Record field changes do not show up in compare reports. "Compare report" refers to the diff file that shows up in Application Designer, like this:
With those principles in mind, the following scenarios will all result in a record in the target environment with only the RMT1 field in it having the RMT2 field added to it after it has been added in the source environment:
The following scenarios will result in the RMT2 field being removed from the record in the target environment when it has been removed from the source environment:
Here are other copying principles to keep in mind:
Using the CopyProp action does not copy a record definition or record fields. The "Copy" action copies record properties, as well as all of the source database's record fields, but CopyProp copies only the record properties. In that case, any desired record field changes must be handled individually through project record field references.In the four scenarios below, the first two would result in the removal of an extra RMT2 field in the target database, while the last two would not.
That's it! Good luck migrating your records

South African anti-apartheid leader Nelson Mandela has died aged 95 at his Johannesburg home, family and friends had gathered to pay their last respects to the iconic figure that inspired millions around the world.
South African president Jacob Zuma addressed the nation on live television to make the announcement that Mandela, or Mandiba as he is known in the country, had died at the age of 95.
"Let us conduct ourselves with the dignity and respect that Mandiba personified," said president Zuma, who ordered the country's flags to fly at half-staff, and announced a full state funeral for the anti-apartheid champion.
Mandela had been plagued by poor health in recent years. The former president has been in critical condition since June, suffering from a lung infection, in addition to severe stomach, prostate and eye problems.
The first black president of South Africa spent almost three months in a Pretoria hospital after being admitted in June and has been receiving intensive care from doctors since September, when he was discharged from hospital and returned home.
His grandson Ndaba recently told a local broadcaster that Mandela was "not doing well at home in bed."
Mandela's daughter Makaziwe said earlier that her father was fighting from his "deathbed."
"Even though you can see he is struggling, the fighting spirit is still there with him" she told South African Broadcasting television news.

A victim of GandhigiriCategories Delhi
DND is the place where all our manners come to die. No one maintains a queue, everyone honks and if carrying guns were allowed, a murder a day would have taken place. I can proudly say that I am rather well behaved, in public places, at least. I never jump the line; give others way and almost always get angry about ending up last.
Anyway, a few evenings back I had obediently queued up. Just when my turn to enter the card lane came, a car aggressively swerved into the lane and would have rammed into me if I had not braked hard. I honked at the guy from behind and when we drew level in parallel lanes, I gave him the I-will-burn-your-planet look.
The only trouble was the driver turned out to be a woman. Middle aged, dressed in a saree with a huge bindi on her forehead, she looked too gentle to be a bully. Before I could turn down the glare, she touched both her ears with her hands and bit her tongue as a kiddish sign of apology. Stunned with her response, I could only smile and wave at her dismissively before she drove off.
I have apologized unexpectedly, but only to muck with people's heads. This one was too genuine, and I pondered over it for next two days, I realised I had become a victim of true gandhigiri.

We were on the way to a spelling bee when I was a kid. Me, my mom and dad, and a very sweet little old teacher. We passed some hookers, and I asked my teacher if she knew what those women were called.
She seemed taken aback and said that yes, she knew what they were called. Did I?
"Of course," I replied. "My dad says they're social workers."

As it was afternoon time it was difficult for me to capture that eagle in my camera due to sun shine. Hence, I kept watching its trajectory and clicked at the last moment. At that time I was not sure that I have captured it in on my cam. When I connected my cam on PC; I was shocked because that Asian Eagle photograph was perfectly snapped at the last moment.

Vermont Needle Felting Kits
These kits are designed & assembled here in Vermont by my niece who has a fabulous sense of color and design. They are a great way to learn to needle felt, and yet half of all the kits I've sold have been sold to experienced needle felters who just loved the designs!
So whether you have never needle felted before or are experienced, these kits are a treat. The resulting size is about 10" x 10".....makes a lovely wall hanging, could be stitched or felted onto a Partial Felt to make into a pillow, or could be used as a trivet.
Kit includes the design template, the Partial Felt (which is like your canvas), all the fiber needed to complete the project, 2 needles, instructions and a styrofoam board to needle into so you have a stiff, but prickable surface to needle on.
If you want a larger piece for a wall hanging, check out this same designer's larger kits here.
Price/kit: $32

Miss Colombia Posted Her Picture Wearing the Crown with the Hashtag #BacktoBack!
Recently, Miss Universe coronation night became viral online. It is when the host, Steve Harvey announces the wrong winner. Instead of Ms. Philippine; he declared first that it is Ms. Colombia.
Even Ms. Gutierrez have accepted the mistake in the pageant, it seems like there still something she's hiding inside. A couple of hours after the coronation night, she posted photos of her wearing the crown with the hashtag #backtoback and the words "Lo Logramos (We did it) Colombia!"
Hashtag #backtoback refers to the fact that if she really won the pageant, it would have been their second time in getting the crown for Miss Universe. Gutierrez also posted her photo wearing the crown with the caption "Forever you're Miss Universe! Columbia!"

China mosque demolition sparks standoff in Ningxia
Hundreds of Muslims in north-western China are engaged in a standoff with authorities to prevent their mosque from being demolished.
Officials said the newly built Weizhou Grand Mosque in the Ningxia region had not been given proper building permits.
But worshippers refused to back down. One resident said they would not "let the government touch the mosque".
China has a Muslim minority of some 23 million, and Islam has been prominent in Ningxia for centuries.
But human rights groups say there is increasing official hostility towards Muslims in China, and foreign religious influences in particular.
The mosque, which has several soaring minarets and domes, is built in a Middle Eastern style.
For centuries Hui Muslim mosques were built in a more Chinese style, and it appears that the new structure is viewed by the local government as an example of a growing Arabisation of Chinese Islam, the BBC's China correspondent, Stephen McDonell, reports.

Chinese are always after Muslims and Christians, it's like they're scared of them. Demolishing Churches and Mosques just increases animosity, but try explaining that to the atheist idiots in government

And they say atheists are tolerants.
Another case of poisonous atheism ideology trying to subjugate and exterminate other cultures.

Anyway, I personally think it is a Communist thing rather than Atheist. Thousands of priests were imprisoned, killed etc in the Eastern Bloc countries (Iron Curtain) after WW2. I personally know of many such cases from my wife's family side in Romania where priests were killed or imprisoned until they were freed after the revolution.

The first viewpoint is its their country, their rules. The issue with this is obvious, because there may be gross violations of human rights such as in Saudi Arabia.
The second view point is, there has to be some degree of standards which the global community sets when it comes to human rights, and that every country must be expected to abide by these standards. The only issue being that it is usually the Western countries setting these standards, and expect everyone to conform to their ideals, which doesn't work in all cases as there are cultures and traditions that have been in place for hundreds of years and they cant be expected to become westernized by force.
What the trend is that powerful countries, or those countries that are allied with powerful countries are not criticized. While only countries like Pakistan, Iran, etc... countries that are diplomatically isolated are the most criticized.

WEIZHOU: Authorities in northern China delayed the demolition of a large mosque on Saturday after thousands of people demonstrated to stop its destruction, local residents said, amid a nationwide government drive to tighten restrictions on religious activities.
Across China, officials have sought to limit religious freedoms for Muslims as part of a widespread attempt to bring believers in line with the dictates of the ruling Communist Party.
Protesters began gathering on Thursday ahead of a deadline to demolish the grand mosque in the town of Weizhou in the northern Ningxia region, locals said.
Videos posted on social media in recent days showed protesters gathering in front of the building as police with riot shields stood by.
Holding Chinese flags, they sat quietly on the building's steps and milled around a large plaza, before heading to Friday night prayers, according to the videos.
"The government said it's an illegal building, but it's not. The mosque has several hundred years of history," a restaurant owner surnamed Ma said.
Around noon on Saturday, a local official had read a document, saying that the government would hold off on the mosque's demolition.
After that, many who had participated in the sit-in dispersed.
People had come hundreds of kilometres from other Muslim regions to show support and bring food to those in Weizhou, locals said.
Hundreds of security forces had at one point been brought in on civilian buses to secure a perimeter around the area, not allowing outsiders in.
Internet and 4G mobile phone service had been cut off to the area, resuming only some 14 kilometres away from Weizhou though residents could still make phone calls.
On Saturday evening, a few dozen people sat on folded stools or leaned against their motorbikes in another neighbourhood away from the mosque, watching a movie projected onto a cement wall near a petrol station.
Police cars occasionally drove past, lights flashing, but it was otherwise peaceful.
"They told us the internet was down because of recent rains, but does that really make sense?" said a young man straddling his bike.
"They are afraid of us spreading videos," he said.
Islam is one of five officially recognised religions in China, home to some 23 million Muslims.
Pressure has been building on the community in recent months as the Communist party moves to tighten the reins on religious expression.
China's top leaders recently called for the "Sinicisation" of religious practice — bringing it in line with "traditional" Chinese values and culture — and new regulations on religious affairs came into effect in February, sparking concern among rights groups.
The measures increased state supervision of religion in a bid to "block extremism", and in areas with significant Muslim populations, authorities have removed Islamic symbols, such as crescents, from public spaces.
In the far western region of Xinjiang, things have gone much farther, with Muslims being harshly punished for violating regulations banning beards and burqas.

Look at the history of these evil atheist empires in 20th century. All killing in the name for their degenerate ideology.
Atheists are cancer on this Earth.
As you rightly said since they don't believe in afterlife, they have no concept of morality and thus are able to justify any action they want.

It feels a bit weird to be stitching such a wintry scene while the sun shines warmly outside. It's also quite weird considering Christmas so far in advance now that I'm out of the sort of Retail which begins its Christmas campaign now.
However, needs must and all that.
I counted up my patches when I popped this one into my "Current Projects" box. When I've done my next one, which is my last Mouseloft kit, I'll have eighteen. Which means I need to hunt around for another six. I already have a plan for a big patch for the twenty-fifth one for Christmas Day.
But I think after my next one I might have a little break from Christmas kits and have a go at some of the quite pretty ones I've found in my various magazines. Mark and I are going to be moving soon, and I'm going to get stuck in with decorative items. And setting me up in a little Stitchery-office of my very own.

Matthew 6:25-27
New Living Translation (NLT)
25 "That is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life—whether you have enough food and drink, or enough clothes to wear. Isn't life more than food, and your body more than clothing? 26 Look at the birds. They don't plant or harvest or store food in barns, for your heavenly Father feeds them. And aren't you far more valuable to him than they are? 27 Can all your worries add a single moment to your life?
Why is it such a problem?
What's standing in the way?
We complain about our busy lives,
That we're going to change…someday,
It might be all the stuff up in the attic,
Or maybe how we always seem to work,
But we're going to rearrange our life
Before we go berserk,
We're going to take some time off,
And together do a thing or two,
We're going to hug the folks we care about
Before our time is through,
We might decide to take a trip,
We might write the novel grand,
We might change the world for the better
Or just give others a helping hand,
Whatever it might be
That's left a calling card upon your door,
Open up and let it in
Before there's no time left anymore,
It's just a simple recipe,
There's nothing strange or odd,
Just set aside everything that you don't need
Until you're only left with God,
©2018 by William Pierce
Bless us with a heart and mind attuned to that which is most important. We push and shove, hurry and worry, and beat ourselves to death…over trinkets. Have mercy upon us and help us to change. Thank You!

Honey, when I was rejected, you reached out to me. You turned a bad time into a good one. Though I had never seen you in person, I loved you. No man had ever shown me love and tenderness the way you did. You were a true Knight for me!
When I found myself in the south without a home, you reached out to me again and opened your door to me. There was nothing I wanted more at that time than to be with you. My road was made clear by futher being rejected by Tanisha's family. Soon I was on my way to the one man who has shown me true love.
I did not know what I would find when I reached Lincoln, but I trusted you, and you did not let me down. You are more than I could have ever hoped for, my Love, you are the highlight of my whole life, and I will always love you!
You have thought that you are just a replacement for Montine, but that is not true. I would have left Montine for good after the first time he rejected me! But I believed that if there was any way possible I should honor the commitment I had made to him because at that time it appeared that the Lord had put us together.
The second time it was to be with you that I truly desired, and I tried to make you understand that I also expected Montine to do it again, and that I was not about to close any doors between you and I. I was telling you even then that I loved you, and wanted to see you as soon as I could.
I didn't know what else to do, because Montine had refused to let me live with him I wouldn't be going to Atlanta where I needed to be. I would have been in Oneonta which was too far away to come and see you very often. And Montine was claiming he was going to come see me as often as he could. I didn't trust him, but at that time I had no idea he was going to totally reject me and SNTC as soon as I arrived.
With all of these things out of our way, I was able to give you the attention you should have had right from the start. If only I had known, Montine would never have had a chance! I would have given you all of my attention from the first day you came to SNTC!!!
Sweetheart, since I have come to Lincoln, you have shown to me what it is like to live. To go back to where I was would be hell on Earth for me, a life of constant sadness, pain and depression. While I have been with you, the sadness and depression have been gone, except for those times when I think I may be forced to go back to Jamestown soon. I would rather be dead than back there again!
You have become my life and reason to live. I know that with you anything can be overcome. Before I was incomplete, there was a big void in my life that nothing I did would make go away, I was able to quickly see that you fit that void perfectly, for the first time in my life I was a complete woman.
It has been a few days since I wrote what is above. Now you have told me that you don't want me, or even love me except maybe as any friend might. Now you have told me to leave and life is over for me. What you choose to do with the rest of your life is up to you. Maybe somehow you will find someone who loves you like I do, someone who can accept your being CD, but I really doubt it!
If there was some way to change your mind, I would do it. While I was with you, I did my best to be everything you asked of me. I cannot do more than that! I offered you everything I am, and only asked for your love in return. I offered you my spirit, soul and body, but they were not good enough for you. I gave you my life but you threw it aside.
There is nothing more I can do. So I will leave as you ask, even though I do not want to leave you or Lincoln. I will be gone so you won't see the hurt or feel the pain. I will fade from your memory and before long you will not even remember the time we spent together.
But I will not forget, the memories are all I will ever have, true love does not fade away. It is there each day to remind you of what has been lost.
Once I have left, it will most likely be over for us, it is even possible we will never see each other again. One or both of us is bound to find another, someone to fill that empty void in our lives.
It may be that Hank is that man for me, but it is not likely, he is too busy to even come by and say "Hello!". I doubt there will ever be anyone for me, but only time will tell.I hope you have a beter life then it looks like I am going to have.
I don't know what more to say, you were so kind to me, but I wonder if it would have been better (for me at least) if I had never come to stay with you. It was so hard to keep from crying when I had to leave, but I thought if you saw me it might make you late for work. So I did my best to keep my emotions from showing.
I will say goodbye to you, knowing we will probably never meet or even speak to each other again. I wish we could have stayed together, I would have spent my life finding new ways to say: "I Love You!" Now that our ways have parted you probably don't even think of me, but I will never be able to forget you and the time we spent together. Goodbye Jon, you will always be my "Knight in shining armor".

Thoughts From Mary
October 28, 2014
So far I've been having an absolute blast working on book number three, which is the finale of the Rowan Milani Chronicles. At this point, the story includes thirty-one characters of note. Each one has a background, likes and dislikes, problems, dilemmas and flaws. I interviewed each one. It took approximately 40,000 words to complete that task, which translates into about eighty pages of work.
goals and dreams
October 02, 2014
Goals and dreams are intrinsically tied together. You can't have one without the other. Every goal I've ever achieved started out as a dream of something I wanted to do or something I wanted to experience. My life has been full of dreams. Looking at them from my "now" perspective, I see that each dream held the seeds of the goals I worked toward and continue to strive for.

Steve Sarkisian politely sidestepped questions about the subject before he called plays for Alabama in the College Football Playoff championship game last month.
The issues that contributed to his dismissal as USC's coach in 2015, he told reporters, were something to be discussed at another time.
On Thursday, two days after the Atlanta Falcons hired him as offensive coordinator, Sarkisian spoke publicly about his battle with alcoholism for the first time.
"It's not something that is necessarily in the past," Sarkisian said during a conference call. "It's something I have to work on every single day, and I do work on it every single day.
"It's important to me, and it's important to who I am as a person. It's a piece of me, this disease of alcoholism. It's a piece of me, but it doesn't define me. I have a lot more to offer than that."
Sarkisian, 42, has enjoyed something of a career rebirth in the 16 months since his short tenure as USC's head coach ended amid reports of erratic behavior and alcohol-related issues. Sarkisian filed a lawsuit against the university, claiming that former athletic director Pat Haden fired him instead of allowing him to seek treatment for alcoholism.
"Instead of accommodating Steve Sarkisian's disability, USC kicked him to the curb," the lawsuit said.
Sarkisian is seeking $12.6 million that remained on his contract and unspecified damages.
When the lawsuit was filed, Sarkisian had completed "intensive" treatment, the complaint said, and he was sober and ready to return to coaching.
In its response, USC assailed the lawsuit as "full of half truths" and "outright falsehoods."
An arbitration hearing is scheduled to begin in July.
Sarkisian replaced Kyle Shanahan as the Falcons' offensive coordinator the day after Shanahan was announced as the San Francisco 49ers' head coach.
Sarkisian has called plays in only one game since a USC defeat by Washington on Oct. 8, 2015.
Last September, Alabama Coach Nick Saban hired Sarkisian as an offensive analyst. Sarkisian was promoted to offensive coordinator and play-caller for the College Football Playoff championship game against Clemson after Saban parted ways with Lane Kiffin, who had been hired as Florida Atlantic's coach.
Sarkisian helped guide Alabama to a late fourth-quarter lead before Clemson came back to win in the final seconds.
Now he will be under pressure as he takes over a Falcons offense that led the NFL in scoring and features quarterback Matt Ryan, the NFL's most valuable player.
He will do so while dealing with alcoholism.
"Everybody has issues they have to deal with, some physical, some mental, whatever it may be," Sarkisian said. "This happens to be an issue of mine that I work on daily. It's important to me so I can be the best person, the best father, the best coach I can be. I'm diligent about that."
Sarkisian served as the Oakland Raiders' quarterbacks coach in 2004. Falcons Coach Dan Quinn became familiar with Sarkisian when Quinn was defensive coordinator for the Seattle Seahawks under Sarkisian mentor Pete Carroll, and Sarkisian was head coach at the University of Washington.
Sarkisian visited the Falcons last spring during organized-team activity workouts and also during training camp. Sarkisian said Quinn called him Monday, the day after the Patriots defeated the Falcons, 34-28, in overtime in the Super Bowl.
"I couldn't be more grateful to Coach Saban and everyone at the University of Alabama," Sarkisian said. "That's a heck of a football team with some really talented players. But when you get this type of opportunity — to come to a team that just competed in the Super Bowl, with all the talent they have offensively, to work with Dan — that was something I couldn't pass up."

flowers, rain and muddy dogs
The snow didn't last and it looks like I might be able to cut a few more roses before winter is here for real. I always need some flowers around the house. The thanksgiving cactus keeps looking more and more spectacular.
And I'm looking forward to the amaryllis flowers from the bulb I just planted and the yellow jonquils I set in water, too. I'll still miss my roses, but I'll take any flowers I can get. And when I can't have real ones, I can make them, too.
In the midst of everything else that was going on, I sold some flowers that I made in my Etsy shop this week.
I love this necklace. It was the first one I made with my crocheted roses and the first one of the rose necklaces to sell. With this necklace I started experimenting with crocheted leaves, too.
I've been neglecting my poor Etsy shop lately. Just gotta finish making things for the dogs and try not to fall under the spell of another quilt (for me) and then maybe I can make some new stuff for the shop.
I had one more flowery bit of excitement this past week and I'll give just a tiny peek (and a hint) of it right now with the promise of more to come.
Packages are always a good thing! And the plans I have for what was in this one are really fun!
And now for the funnest of the fun... it was so hard to wait for the day to arrive, but it finally did. The boys came home with us yesterday.
I love this blurry photo of them in the back of the truck on the way home. Don't they look happy? Kit is the white and fawn spotted dog and Kirk is the red brindle. I know Matthias and I will be taking lots and lots of photos of them, but so far since they've been home there aren't too many good ones. Here are a few from one of our visits to the rescue kennel:
Unfortunately we've been having almost constant rain and so our first walks with the boys haven't been as fun as we'd have liked. It's also made for some very messy playing. Our backyard is very muddy now and when the boys came in after our after breakfast romp they were filthy. The other romps today have turned a couple other towels the color of mud. But they have such fun getting filthy that all I can do is laugh and give them plenty of kisses while I towel them off.
I love watching them run and frolic. They may have been duds on the racetrack, but they still run very fast and seem so full of joy while they do it. They're still settling in, but I can say that I am already head over heels in love with these two.
I could go on and on, but I'll end now. Gotta get sewing the covers for the new dog beds.
