Grosgrain: Do you like my clothes? Do you want them for....free?!

I love your creations - animate and inanimate. Great pictures too.

Listening to Bob Edwards Weekend interview Bonnie Raitt on ((XM)) Radio (podcast through my iPod).

She repeated this - not original to her, author unknown: "...coincidence is God's way of staying anonymous."

I like that!

Over and out :wink:

The Shack by William P. Young. "...an exceptional piece of writing that ushers you directly into the heart and nature of God in the midst of agonizing human suffering."~David Gregory, author of Dinner with a Perfect Stranger~


A quote:


"Well said, Mackenzie!" Her appreciation was tangible, but then she leaned forward slightly, her tone still soft, but serious. "But what about when they (his children) do not behave, or they make choices other than those you would want them to make, or they are just belligerent and rude? What about when they embarrass you in front of others? How does that affect your love for them?"


Mack responded slowly and deliberately. It doesn't really." He knew that what he was saying was true, even if Katie (his daughter) didn't believe it sometimes. "I admit that it does affect me and sometimes I get embarrassed or angry, but even when they act badly, they are still my son or my daughter, they are still Josh or Kate, and they will be forever. What they do might affect my pride, but not my love for them."


She sat back, beaming. "You are wise in the way of real love, Mackenzie. So many believe that it is love that grows, but it is the knowing that grows and love simply expands to contain it. Love is just the skin of knowing. You love your children, whom you know so well, with a wonderful and real love."

Remember, most of the time I am over at www.xanga.com/madewyn.
