Quote of the Week: Shay

The trouble begins, I think, when our passions are the beginning point of our decision-making, and not the Word of God. And unfortunately, because we are human beings, and sinful at heart, this will always be a struggle. That is why the Word of God simply must become part of us through regular reading and meditating over. It's not enough to just read; we need to think about it, pray about it, and let it soak into us so that when tough decisions come up, or we become discontent, we will tough it out with the truth, rather than pursue something that will satisfy our passions momentarily.

This is What I've Been Working On. . .

I've been working on this project for about a week.  It's been great fun because I've had help from my friend, Rosemary, "The Knotess" who has been helping me learn how to make knots.  She helped me a great deal with the placement of the plaits and the colors.  I am very happy with this piece--and very tired!  I've been working at this almost non stop since about 7 am, so I'm off for a cup of coffee and a snuggle with Ivy on the couch!
