Painful Quote by Katharine Welby

I think this quote is reflective of something endemic in churches - embarrassingly endemic because people who go to church seem to try to "look" like they have it together. Truth is, no one has it together! Of those people who do not attend church the majority of the reasons sited for their disinterest is "hypocrisy" of the church members. Most people don't feel safe sharing the truth about themselves (or about what God has truly saved them from or brought them through) for fear of the listeners spreading rumors or judging them.

I hope and pray that the people I know do not see a front from me, but that they will see the truth of how amazing God is for what He has done (and continues to do) in my life. I'm not perfect and won't be this side of heaven, but I don't want to be perceived as having it all together because life is messy. God cleans me up and church is where I go to brag on Him for what He's done.

Stitching Project: Bear

Found a pattern for a simple bear on pinterst - decided to do one of them yesterday evening. It didn't take long and I think it turned out ok. What do you think? I'm not crazy about the shape of the arms - am going to make those a little different next time. I enjoyed doing it so much that I think I'm going to re-purpose those millions of old shirts into cute little plush dolls I can send with our church members when they go on various mission trips. And I should have enough left to put into an Operation Christmas Child box or two this fall.

Hang a Star - Illustration

The original sketch for "Hang a Star". I love to draw snowmen and little animals in scenes. Here's the completed illustration - colored digitally in photoshop.
