Thanks for the nagging, I mean, support. :)
So much has happened in the last few months, so much of it quite depressing and sad, that I haven't felt much like blogging, mainly for the inability to speak what was on my mind.
So sewing is still going on, ever so slowly. With all the chaos, and usual life, there have been many interruptions in progress. I am happy to say that MOST of the boy shirts are fully complete, but unhappy to say, that there are yet some unfinished, which I should be working on presently, but am blogging instead.
I just finished a very wonderful book. Its so common a title, that no doubt you've heard of it, but perhaps not yet read it, or at least not read the unabridged version. Robinson Caruso . You might say, "ya, I know its about a man being shipwrecked on a deserted island". But its so much more! Its really about his salvation, how Robin comes to saving faith in Christ alone, EXPLICITLY. It was so encouraging to read (well, in my case, hear, gotta love books on CD) about the various trials that he went through, and how he came to recognize that God in His wise and holy providence was working the trials amazingly for his own good. Robin came to bless God for it all, and to find contentment in his lot. GREAT BOOK, great reading for kids and adults alike.
Ok, and hmm, Shawn's on a break from school for a couple more weeks, so that's really nice, except that his boss wants him at work more, but he's not as stretched out for now, so that's good.
Shawn and I started reading through a very encouraging book together. Its been of great encouragement to me in my recent trial of faith, I cant recommend it highly enough.

Hi Tammy, The children and I are half way through the same book. We all are loving it.The spiritual aspect really adds to the story and completes a picture of what life is all about. Danial Defoe wrote it in the 1600's and I know he was a puritan. I read his diary of the plague in England juring the reign of Charles II.
Talk to you some time. Love Belinda
Mom, its a great book, one of the best. It was written in 1640.
Belinda, I'm glad youre enjoying Robinson Caruso. Daniel Dafoe was a Presbyterian Minister. He wrote a few others that were good, I recall reading a discourse on courtship that he'd written that I liked. It was kind of in a play format, with the different characters having lines. I'll have to check out his diary.
Love you guys too
Oh brother I cannot let this stand any longer.
It is Robinson Crusoe.
CRUSOE.
Thank you. :P
