So...my posting of this and other info seems to have caused a stir over in my little facebook world.

It's so strange...because those who you would think would be in an uproar over the travesty...were so wrapped up in their liberal mindsets/pro-choice ideologies...that they ignored (seemingly) the evidence placed before them.

Info from Maafa and other sources....info about Margaret Sanger(the woman met w/the Clan for heaven's sake!!!!!!!) and The Negro Project....it mustn't just be info for info's sake.

Do a google search. Do a youtube search.

Spread the word....

and....

Spread the Word.

I am having lots of fun w/images.

The Jesus You Can't Ignore

"Philosophers have always been obsessed with God. Whether they have assumed His existence, questioned it, denied it, or looked for rational arguments to disprove or prove it , they have universally understood that what a person believes about God is basic to everything else."
xix


"To whatever degree some atheists seek a public veneer of virtue and respectability - as well as when they themselves make moral judgements about others - they are walking contradictions. What possible "virtue" could there be in an accidental universe with no Lawgiver and no Judge?"

Van Goghish Bedroom

I love our co-op. Every Monday 3 of our kids get Art Lessons taught by a fantastic artist & teacher, Tamara Lynn Swindler.

Super thankful I am, for the commitment, dedication, patience (and looooooong suffering) of the women in my home-educating circle.

It's so interesting to me how certain "things" exist in our lives because they exist in our "cultures."

Like side hugs.

I get the point of them completely. I understand the reason for their existence. I have grown to appreciate them even...and use them all the time.

Side hugs between me and men other than my husband, dad, or sons are the norm.

I can no longer say side hugs are the norm all the time...though.

You see...we have these friends for whom side hugs MUST translate Cold Hearted Ice Queen. It hit me one day.... that through my very appropriate and proper side hugs.... I was speaking a language these dear loved ones did not understand at all. It had to have been offensive and off putting. At the very least....confusing.

So, now I side hug people who side hug and...

full on hug the full on huggers.

So....Braverijah Sage and Dad have matching tattoos.

Alphonse Mucha's La Passion.

If there is anything a mother wants tattooed on her son foreverandeverandever...it's the Lord.

Predestination

If you are mulling over the teachings of Calvin (and others)...especially the topic of predestination...you might want to check out this link.

You can find John MacArthur's 6 Part teaching on the subject by clicking below.


And, then there's Spurgeon.

Damon has a facebook page.

Would you please drop him a note and request his friendship. Let him know that you are praying for him.

Tutus

Jemima is making tutus. She requested that I shoot her model, Zion Evangeline...in her designs.

Girl by Zion

Boy by Zion





Also..........
Zion is reading Dick and Jane to me. We are at page 60ish.

We are cuddled on the couch...book open... when she looks at me in all seriousness and says.....

Zion: I like reading.
Me: I like reading too.

(then)

Zion: We're similar.
Me: We are SO similar.


then...sudden realization....

Zion: "Yeah.................it's like television for the brain."


Also.......


Tonight, Zion is decorating her Valentine's Collection Box (co-op early celebration)....when her thoughts turn to a little boy with whom she is "in love."

I remind her that the Lord already has a husband planned for her.

She wants to know if this boy might be His choice????????

"Maybe.... I say. We'll have to wait and see."

(then silently ........)

Please oh please, Lord.....we really like his parents.

After a moment of...gluing and decorating....

Zion: No....I'm a "home girl."



Jemima and I CRACK UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She never EVER wants to leave home. Not even for the love of her life.

As we are getting into the bathtub this evening.

Me: Zion, I have the squishiest butt on the planet.

Zion: No

(then)

Zion: Dinosaurs have really squishy butts.

'Whatever you give a woman, she will make greater. If you give her sperm, she'll give you a baby. If you give her a house, she'll give you a home. If you give her groceries, she'll give you a meal.. If you give her a smile, she'll give you her heart. She multiplies and enlarges what... is given to her. So, if you give ...her any crap, be ready to receive a ton of sh-t.'

This post from a friend ....whatever it's failures...made me LOL today...and boy oh boy did I need a good laugh. I am either hanging out with the wrong crowd or amongst family.

I have not handled my pain well this week. I am grieved by my sin. The Lord has used Ozzie to soften me.

Today I finished again....A Tree Grows in Brooklyn.... and tomorrow I re-read The Problem of Pain.
