I recently discovered a mother and family (homeschooling with 6 kids) who has taken the grief of losing a little one (Tiggy aged 22 months) and turned it into sharing Jesus with some of the world's most vulnerable. They are raising money to build a home for Nepalese girls (average age 14, but some as young as 6) who are vulnerable to or victims of the Indian sex trade. Please visit their site to learn more about this terrible problem and to help out by praying and/or donating.

My views on how following Christ should encourage us to do good, take a stand against evil, and embody self-sacrificial love. "Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth." 1 John 3:18

The Moth and the Lamp
I found this quote on the bottom of a mug.
"The moth bathes in the false glory of the street lamp, and nobody bothers to tell her that she hasn't found God."
It really reminded me of how important it is to warn people before it is eternally too late and help them turn toward the glory of the father.
I also made a collection around it.

Thomas Sowell on Committees
When an organization has more of its decisions made by committees, that gives more influence to those who have more time available to attend committee meetings and to drag out each meeting longer. In other words, it reduces the influence of those who have work to do, and are doing it, while making those who are less productive more influential.

Mine is the green and brown one made from an ink blot. You can see it here if you want.

Seizing the Center is Why We Lose
Thomas Sowell gives a great history lesson about what happens to candidates that try to move to the center. Over and over they lose.
Politicians need to have strong beliefs and stick with them unless their minds are changed by evidence and reason (as opposed to political climate or some other nitwittery). We need people with integrity in office not a bunch of losers that are constantly shifting to the center.

Thomas Sowell Talks Sense About Immigration
The purpose of American immigration laws and policies is not to be either humane or inhumane to illegal immigrants. The purpose of immigration laws and policies is to serve the national interest of this country.
There is no inherent right to come live in the United States, in disregard of whether the American people want you here. Nor does the passage of time confer any such right retroactively.
You should read the whole thing.

Front Page of Etsy
I recently opened a little store on Etsy. Today one of my items made the front page. It is the rather freakish green butterfly (about number 6 on the slideshow).
I was totally amazed and very greatful to God and the person (Devi) that chose my work.
