The Lord’s blessings on you as you celebrate our country’s heritage and God’s provision! † And, if you are traveling, may God grant you a safe journey to and fro. ♥

Children are a God-given inheritance for our conquest of the world for Christ. They are a means of subduing the earth and exercising dominion under the Lord. If we give our children to state or private schools which are not systematically Christian in all their curriculum, we are then giving the future to God’s enemies, and He will hold us accountable for laying waste our heritage. We thus must have Christian schools and Christian homeschools for the Lord’s children. We are commanded to “bring them up in the nurture and the admonition of the LORD” (Eph. 6:4). This is a necessary step for that great consummation of God’s will, announced beforehand for us in Revelation 11:15.

God’s name is Jehovah-rapha, the God who heals. And that is what God does: He heals. And He can heal you. God’s name is as good as God’s person. His name stands because He never changes. God is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8). He has always been, and He always will be, Jehovah-rapha: “I, the Lord, am your healer” (Exodus 15:26).

We’ve been really busy with a large order lately but I thought I’d share a recent custom order that we finished in the midst of it.

Isn’t it pretty?!

Time to make your holiday orders!

Come on…you know you want one.

Hope everyone has a blessed week,

Suffering is never wasted - it is used to make us more like Christ and, as a result, causes the grace of God to spread, and God is glorified.

Hi! Quickie post…

In my attempt to incorporate blogging back into my schedule, the majority of the posts to begin with will be catch-ups of month-in-review posts (per usual). If you feel compelled to comment and find you cannot, it will be because I am also going to include purging some “users” from the list. (You must be a registered user to comment…that was the most convenient way for me to moderate/control what came through comments while I was offline.) I will be cleaning out users I don’t recognize as legit. Don’t feel offended if you know you registered but are now not recognized. Just re-register and give me a chance to get to get to know you better!

Also, as I find the time, I *might* redecorate. It’s been quite some time since I’ve done so…just trying to get inspired. If you see something weird or have trouble with something when I make a change, let me know.

That’s all the time I have for now.

Hope to post something again real soon!

I’m thinking about it. I really am.

The last couple of weeks I’ve been working in the shop on a large order that required my help. That has left me pretty worn out. Now, I need to play catch up with the house and homeschooling. That will leave me pretty worn out too.

Blogging definitely takes a backseat to life. At this point, I can’t write about it…only live it.
