"How will you spend eternity -- Smoking or Non-smoking?"
Now at that time Michael, the great prince who stands guard over the sons of
your people, will arise. And there will be a time of distress such as never
occurred since there was a nation until that time; and at that time your people,
everyone who is found written in the book, will be rescued. And many of those
who sleep in the dust of the ground will awake, these to everlasting life, but
the others to disgrace and everlasting contempt. And those who have insight
will shine brightly like the brightness of the expanse of heaven, and those
who lead the many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever.
Daniel 12:1-3
These twelve Jesus sent out after instructing them, saying, "Do not go in the way of the Gentiles, and do not enter any city of the Samaritans; but rather go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. And as you go, preach, saying, "The kingdom of heaven is at hand."
Matthew 10:5-7
And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age."
Matthew 28:18-20
And He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.
Mark 16:15
"YOU
CAN ATTRACT PEOPLE TO JESUS
WHEN YOU HAVE HIS LIGHT IN YOUR LIFE."
This quote is from Our Daily Bread - December, 2007 Issue.
"For where two or three have gathered together in My name, there I am in their midst." Matthew 18:20

A million thanks for a great website. I, too, love crocheting and picked it up at about the same age. I haven't crocheted in years, until now, when my daughter asked me to crochet her a blanket of her own. My husband and I each have a homemade crocheted blanket (each aboout 34 years old), and this sparked our daughter to ask for one. I did some surfing of the net to find a pattern, which I did, and I dove in. One of the rows required a dc dec, and I could not find instructions on this anywhere until I ran across your site. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I can now complete this blanket, with the high hopes of doing many more. Thank you for website. I know I will be visiting it again and again.
May your troubles be less,
may your blessings be more,
and may nothing but happiness come through your door!

Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou for writing this section. I've always been petrified of crochet because of the instructions and all the abrreviations. You have demystified crochet for me. Yvonne Ballard

I have to tell you about this new book.
SweaterBabe.com's Fabulous & Flirty Crochet
I'm so happy to have it in my crochet library.
Katherine Lee has an eye for style and a definite knack for creating beautiful
crochet patterns.
I was really happy with the large colorful project photos.
There's something for everyone!
The aspect of Fabulous and Flirty Crochet that stood out to me was the section
on the yarns used in the patterns.
One page shows "actual size" photos of the yarns which makes it super
easy to substitute other yarns if you want to.
For those who stay strictly to the recommended yarn in a pattern Katherine has
included a yarn resource list.
The projects are very fashionable and perfect for gift giving... though I'm
sure you'll have to make something for yourself :o)
I can't wait to try the Flirty Skirt and the Ruffled Strap Tank.

My husband seems to feel one should get their money's worth while on vacation. I'm not sure if I'm supposed to frolic every minute or not. But when I was lounging in a beach chair on the sand, he came out of the surf and said, "This is costing us $300 a day – and you sit there reading a book!"
I'm afraid you have canary fever," said the doctor.
"Canary fever?" replied the patient. "Is that serious?"
"Yes," said the doctor. "But it's tweetable."
Mrs. Golden was shopping
at a produce stand in her neighborhood.
She approached the vendor and asked, "How much are these oranges?"
"Two for a quarter," answered the vendor.
"How much is just one?" she asked.
"Fifteen cents," answered the vendor.
"Then I'll take the other one," said Mrs. Golden.
On Sunday, the new young pastor arrived at church and found only an old farmer had shown up.
After waiting a while, the disappointed the pastor remarked to the old farmer, "Well, it appears no one else is coming, so we should probably cancel service today"
The farmer, dressed in his Sunday best, looked at the young preacher and said, "Well pastor, I don't know much 'bout preachin', but I do know something bout farmin' and if I went out in the field and found only one cow, I'd still feed 'em"
This excited the young preacher who preached for the next 45 minutes a fierce fire and brimstone sermon. Afterwards the pastor asked the old farmer what he thought.
The old farmer remarked, "Well pastor, I don't know much bout preachin', but I do know somethin' 'bout farmin' and if I went out in the field and found only one cow, I wouldn't give 'em the whole bale."
Students at a school were asked to write about the harmful effects of oil on fish.
One 11-year-old wrote, "When
my mom opened a tin of sardines last night,
it was full of oil and all the sardines were dead."
Patient: Doctor, what I
need is something to stir me up; something to put me in a fighting mood.
Did you put something like that in this prescription?
Doctor: No need for that. You will find that in your bill.
I was in a friend's home one afternoon and while I was talking to the friend, her 4 year old, named Stacey, tugged on my pants leg and said, all excited, "I got a new bicycle, do you want to see?"
Her mom said, "Stacey! How rude! You know better than to interrupt like that!"
"It's okay", I said, then
turned to Stacey.
"Sure Stacey, I'd love to."
So off to the backyard we went. When we got there, I saw a brand new girl's
bicycle, shining pink and silver, with ribbons on the handgrips.
"Wow, Stacey! That's a beautiful bicycle," I said. "Can you really ride it?"
"Sure I can," she said proudly.
Then she pouted, "Well, not really. But it's not my fault ... it's broke."
I looked at the new bike
and it didn't look as if there was anything wrong with it, so I asked her,
"What's wrong with it?"
"I don't know," she shrugged, "but every time I try to ride it, it falls over!"
Two burglars had just broken
into a bank.
As they were walking through the lobby, one noticed a map display with a star
and the words
"You Are Here."
He turned to the other and said,
"We better give up, Bubba. They know where we are!"
HUSBAND: When I get mad at you, you never fight back. How do you control your anger?
WIFE: I clean the toilet.
HUSBAND: How does that help?
WIFE: I use your toothbrush.
ANSWERING MACHINE MESSAGES
1. Me no here. Me go bye. Leave me message. Me reply.
2. Hellooo....Hellloooo? Well if you won't talk to me maybe you'll talk to this machine, it's at home and I'm not, leave a message and it'll give it to me when I return.
Little Sammy's kindergarten
class was on a field trip to their local police station.
There they saw pictures tacked to a big bulletin board.
The label clearly read, "The 10 Most Wanted."
One of the youngsters pointed to a picture and asked if it really was the photo of a wanted person.
"Yes," said the policeman, "the detectives want him very badly."
So Little Sammy asked, while
tugging on the man's belt,
"Um, mister, why didn't you keep them when you took their pictures?"
While leading a tour of kindergarten students through our hospital, I overheard a conversation between one little girl and an x-ray technician.
"Have you ever broken a bone?" he asked.
"Yes," the girl replied.
"Did it hurt?" "No."
"Really? Which bone did you break?"
"My sister's arm."
A wealthy investor walked
into a bank and said to the bank manager,
"I would like to speak with Mr. Reginald Jones, who I understand is a tried
and trusted employee of yours."
The banker said, "Yes he certainly was trusted. And he will be tried as soon as we catch him."
We went to the movie the other night. I sat in an aisle seat as I usually do because it feels a little roomier. Just as the feature was about to start a baby boomer from the center of the row got up and started working her way out.
"Excuse me, sorry, oops, excuse me, pardon me, gotta hurry, oops, excuse me."
By the time she got to me
I was trying to look around her and I was a little impatient, so I said,
"Couldn't you have done this a little earlier?"
"No!!" she said in a loud
whisper,
"The TURN OFF YOUR CELL PHONE PLEASE message just flashed up on the screen
and mine is out in the car."
KID WISDOM
When your dad is mad and asks you, "Do I look stupid?"... don't answer.
Never tell your mom her diet's not working.
Stay away from prunes.
Don't pull your dad's finger when he tells you to.
Never leave your three-year-old brother in the same room as your school assignment.
If you want a kitten, start out by asking for a horse.
Felt-tip markers are not good to use as lipstick.
Don't pick on your sister when she's holding a baseball bat.
When you get a bad grade in school, show it to your mom when she's on the phone.
Something has to be wrong.
We spend sixty million a year on medical research and two billion on get-well
cards!
