Fellow Yarnies

Just a few pieces of yarn.

I may have a teensy, weensy, slight issue with... yarn. I learned to knit back in 2004... actually, I took Kaitlyn to learn to knit, and she didn't like it, but I picked it up.  The problem is, very rarely do I finish a project.  I've done a couple scarves, a dish cloth or two, and that's it.  Way back when, I started a vest for my dad, and never finished it - kind of makes me sad now.  In fact, I started an afghan at the beginning of the summer for him because of the Cancer, and never finished it, either. So, to say I have a small selection of yarn is an understatement.  I want to pick up more crocheting, though, because I think pieces come together better.  I'm looking for a project to start, and have been using Pinterest to keep track of ideas.  If you have a Pinterest account, follow along with me :-) There isn't a whole lot to say right now, or at least a whole lot I want to share.  I guess I'm sort of going through my own thing, and don't feel safe enough … [Read more...]

Christianity vs. Religion

January 12, 2012 By 1 Comment

I am seeing that there is more and more of a movement of people turning their backs on organized religion/corporate churches. And, I understand it... dare I say, agree in a way? The ridiculous pomp and circumstance that the "people" of the church put up has squelched any desire for the normal person to come to Jesus. Not all.  But, a lot. Have a baby while unwed?  You aren't good enough. Smoke?  Drink?  Say curse words? Forget about being accepted. Why. At one point when I was pregnant, and unwed, Phil and I were searching for a church - the one we were attending rejected us.  I distinctly remember another church saying that we could not attend there because people in their church were not sinners. Take a minute and watch this video - if you feel comfortable enough, I would love to hear your thoughts. … [Read more...]

One of the goals I set for 2012 is to live intentionally, and go beyond where I am. In yesterday's post, I talked about needing a bible study, but then it occurred to me that perhaps there are more of you out there feeling the same way?  Perhaps not.  But, if so, would you like to join me in an online type bible study?  Nothing too intense, just once a week chatting here about what we are reading through.  Let me know either via comments, or email me, and if you want, we can figure out something to go through together!  Beth Moore is coming highly recommended, and I also came across "Experiencing God:  Knowing & Doing the Will of God".  But, I'm totally open to whatever. And, something else that God has dropped in my heart is... truth.  What is your truth?  What are you telling yourself vs. what is the truth?  I want you to think about what that means, and again, feel free to comment! PS - the picture doesn't have anything to do with the post other than show we … [Read more...]
