CPSIA

Toys Toys Toys!

If you don't know about the new law that goes into effect Feb. 10, 2009, check out the link below.

CPSIA

This law could likely take out small businesses because they don't have the money or resources to do the mandatory lead testing. It's a great idea, but not carried out very well.

Blah

I just decided that "blog" stands for "blah, blah, blah," because I get caught up reading about other peoples lives, but really, I need to be here in my own. So...

blah, blah, blah, nobody reads anyway.

Reading

Crazy Love, by francise chan

reading this book: it's changing my life.

Honestly, it's changing my thinking. If Jesus came today and asked me to follow him, I'd say yes, hypothetically. In reality, could I leave my SON, my job, my family? It's so deep and so real, I can't explain what I'm trying to say.

Describe your first kiss to someone who has never had one before... now describe Jesus, I can't even describe him to myself! It is reassuring to know that their will never be sufficient words to describe God's wonder and love.

End of confusing post...

Still Crafting

Check out my Etsy store!! Click on the link to your right.

If anybody reads this blog, check out my Etsy store. I am having a lot of fun with my sewing machine so take a look and relax. Shopping from home!

My first bags were just practice as I learned to sew and post on Etsy, but I do believe I am getting better. I have a hard time posting these bags because I want to keep them for myself!

Happy browsing!!

Wars and Rumors of Wars

This is from 2005, Israel remaining peaceful in Gaza.

This is so funny to me. The demoralization! So ludicrous! The nonviolence of Israel being mocked!

Taken from an article: 2008

Israeli leaders said they would press ahead with the Gaza campaign, despite international criticism and enraged protests across the Arab world. Israel's foreign minister said the goal was to permanently halt the barrages of rocket fire from Gaza that have targeted civilians in growing swaths of Israel's south, but not to reoccupy the Palestinian territory.

Hamas fired missiles deeper than ever into Israel, hitting near the Israeli port city of Ashdod, and the Islamic organization continues to command some 20,000 fighters.

Yet Hamas leaders were forced underground, most of the dead were from the Hamas security forces, and Israel's military intelligence chief said Hamas' ability to fire rockets had been reduced by 50 percent. Indeed, Hamas rocket fire dropped off sharply, from more than 130 on Saturday to just over 20 on Sunday.

Hundreds of thousands of Israelis live in cities and towns in Gaza rocket range. Schools in communities in a 20-kilometer (12-mile) radius from Gaza were ordered to remain closed beyond the weeklong Jewish holiday of Hanukkah which ends Monday.

Comments:
"What would Indonesians do if Malaysia was shelling Pontianak with 70 rockets per day? During the supposed "cease fire" Hamas shot over 1,250 rockets into Southern Israel. Israel did not fight back. It sought to maintain the peace. Hamas only escalated the attacks. What would Indonesia do if Malaysia was shelling Pontianak with 70 rockets per day? Should Israel just lay down and do nothing? My heart grieves for every innocent Palestinian victim, every mother and child. But Hamas bears responsibility for bringing this violence upon the Palestinians." Amir
