Selah Ri: So, I washed my hair with oil...
I was on Pinterest and saw a pin about hair ...
since my currently daily pattern is talking myself through daily affirmations go something like...
you are more than your bad hair...
everyone wants hair that's chin length...
lots of colors are good...lots of colors are good...
(heh...ok, listen, brought all this hair stuff upon myself...I had a GREAT stylist and colorist in Georgia, I'm the one that wanted the halo of dark chocolate brown. I'm the one that wanted to cut off 5 inches. ME ME ME ME ME. It's all me.... but anyway...)
So, I'm reading and I come across this pin that said she took Biotin, she brushed her hair nightly, only used the hair dryer on low, never flat ironed and washed her hair with Eucerin Shower Oil . (I can't find the pin now, of course, because I didn't pin it...argh)
Now, I am familiar with the Eucerin brand. I had NO idea they made body wash/shower oil.
The pinner compared the shower oil to the Wen hair products.
It's worth noting I have never used Wen and can't compare my results to what their product would supply.
With that said, I set off to Walgreens to locate shower oil.
Let me also say.
I have decent hair.
It's thick, has natural body and volume and is not oily .
The shower oil is fragrance free and it's a low lather.
I also skipped conditioner (which I use daily and I deep condition twice a week)
but I wanted to get ''true'' results.
I used it on Anna-Elizabeth's hair last night (she's seven and her hair is mid length of her back)
My hair feels really soft.
It has that salon feeling ... springy and SUPER shiny.
With Anna-Elizabeth, she also had very few tangles (and we allllllllllways use conditioner with her and we skipped it too) and it's shiny and so very soft.
I did follow up with my argan oil while it was damp and then used my flat iron.
I am a little surprised how much I liked the results-I kind of expected it to be one of those fails. I mean, who uses shower OIL on their hair? Really?
I am going to continue to use it , just to see if it continues to work out so nicely but I will be adding condition/deep conditioning back into the mix.
You know what would really be helpful? If you could find a curly girl and give her a sample to try so I can know if it works as well for her. LOL I may have to find some though and test the waters. Heck, if it doesn't work I just use it for it's intended purpose I guess. :)
Stacey-I started using Vit. e to clean my face back in September and that was my thought-if it didn't work on my hair, then I could use it on body or maybe even my face. If I were in GA I would totally have my crazy curly niece use it for test purposes. :D

Funny or Die | 10 Things I Hate* About Your Movie
June 12, 2010 · 1:44 am
Random Observation: The Karate Kid
Why is the new remake called The Karate Kid? From everything I’ve gathered, it’s not the exact same story at all, so in that sense it’s not an outright remake. They’re moving it to China, which means he’s studying kung fu with Jackie Chan, am I right? I mean, they are different martial arts disciplines, aren’t they?* It’s not actually karate anymore…
Why not call it The Kung Fu Kid and let it stand on it’s own? I mean, the only reason to keep the title would be name recognition to bring in the $$$, I would think, but those of us who grew up with that movie love the original and don’t want a new one with Will Smith’s kid (who looks 9). We don’t want a remake and will probably not see it for just that reason. But I’ve seen The New Karate Kid (too many times on TV to mention actually. I was recognizing Hillary Swank before people knew who she was). And this is probably a pretty good movie, and it’d be nice to see Jackie Chan be serious (I think).
Let the original be its amazing self and let this be a new addition to the series…not a “remake” of an 80s movie that is perfectly good, nay great, as it is. Why not The Kung Fu Kid?
What are you afraid of Hollywood?
* I do admit that I may be wrong in thinking this and there may be relationships that I don’t understand, just like I don’t know everything about the political histories of China and Japan. But, for what I know, karate is Japanese and kung fu is Chinese and those are two totally different countries.
Though, on a related note, this is pretty awesome, especially the bit with The [Remade] Karate Kid poster…

Roomies household (Oasis Springs) | The Sims Wiki | FANDOM powered by Wikia
Roomies household (Oasis Springs)
This household seems to have stepped right out of a TV sitcom. What wacky misadventures will the perky Zoe, easygoing Mitchell, uptight ladies' man J, and intellectual Gavin suffer this week? Tune in and find out!
Members Zoe Patel, Mitchell Kalani, J Huntington III, Gavin Richards
Lot Cacti Casa
The Roomies household is a pre-made household that resides in Oasis Springs, from The Sims 4 base game. The household consists of roommates Zoe Patel, Mitchell Kalani, J Huntington III and Gavin Richards.
Roomies: An informality of the noun roommates.
Zoe: Means "life" in Greek.
Patel: Means "landowner" in Gujarati.
Mitchell: Derived from the given name Michael.
Kalani: Means "the heavens" from Hawaiian ka "the" and lani "heaven, sky, royal, majesty".
Huntington: Means "hunter's settlement".
Gavin: Medieval form of the name Gawain, meaning "white hawk".
Richards: Derived from the given name Richard.
The household is a reference to the Fox television series New Girl starring Zooey Deschanel. Zoe Patel is a nod to Zooey, as well as her character, Jess.
All four members of the Roomies household appear on the back cover art of the base game, making them the only moved-in characters to appear on the game's cover. The group is pictured at a bar with a fifth friend, a blonde haired female Sim who appeared in several renders/trailers, and who is shown apparently rejecting Gavin's advances while the other three roomies laugh.

Into The King's Garden: October 2012
Spiced Pine Cone Potpourri Recipe
In a plastic garbage bag:
Small Pine cones- as many as you want
1 full container of ground cinnamon
1 small bottle of apple (or) cinnamon spice oil
1 of each for a stronger fragrance-
* These can be found in the candle section of your local chain store (like Walmart) or craft store (like Michael's)
Place your pine cones in the plastic bag and pour the ground cinnamon and the oil (or oils) over the pine cones. Tie the bag closed tightly. Shake for a few seconds to distribute the oil and cinnamon over each. Set aside in a closet or some other out of the way area. Each day for one week go and give the bag a mighty shake.
After one week you scented pine cones are ready to use. Place them in a basket or bowl and your room will smell fantastic for months. When the pine cones begin to lose their scent you can reuse them- using the same technique or go out in the yard and collect a new batch of pinecones.
Since you are using all natural ingredients you don't have to worry about the muck they put in the commercial scented pine cones (shudder) who knows what they use in those. Ohh and you might want to place the bowl or basket of scented cones in an area where the dogs and cats can't get at them and use them for paw batting practice or chew toys. It won't harm them but what a mess you will be cleaning up when they have had their fun. We are trying to create a cleaner environment; not trying to create more work for ourselves!
* If you love the smell of pine you can simply use the pine oil over the pine cones instead of apple or cinnamon oil. Replace the use of a container of ground cinnamon with a container of ground cloves. Everything else applies the same.

~Luke~ Physician & Quiet Quillman
Did a tear drop onto Luke's papyrus as he wrote? Did it smudge ink as he reminisced on Mary's words and in his distant mind hear a cooing baby Jesus?
Maybe Luke worked deep into the nights.
Maybe the candlelight's flicker brought ambience to every recollection as Luke lingered over his notes and penned the most beautiful Gospel, one of the most beautiful books ever written.
Maybe the crackle of his fire reminded him of the one that warmed the precious Infant.
Surely Luke smiled when his stylus scripted across the sheet. The thoughts of Jesus, a newborn crying His arrival into the world He would save, must have been overwhelming.
How do you write with goosebumps?
Some sixty years after Jesus’ birth, Luke recorded for eternity the most eloquent, detailed account of the conception, birth, childhood, and ministry of our Lord. 24 Chapters total.
Luke likely labored over his work for months, writing from his notes and the Holy Spirit's prompting. The results are the third Gospel and the book of Acts, a record of the inception and growth of the Christian Church.
We know so little about Luke.
Yet we know all we need.
There are only three references to him in the Bible:
Colossians 4:14;
14 Our dear friend Luke, the doctor, and Demas send greetings
2 Timothy 4:11;
11 Only Luke is with me. Get Mark and bring him with you, because he is helpful to me in my ministry
Philemon 1:24;
24 And so do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas and Luke, my fellow workers
But through them and his writing style we can sketch a glimpse of the man whom God used to write more words of the New Testament than anyone else.
He was a Gentile, a Greek.
He was a close traveling companion of Paul, perhaps his closest, a physician beloved by Paul. (Colossians 4:14)
Luke no doubt shared in Paul's persecutions and trials, all the while repeatedly doctoring the mighty apostle to recovery.
Tradition holds that Luke was a native of Antioch and that he died unmarried and childless at the age of eighty-four.
He is believed to have written each of his books while Paul was imprisoned, first in Caesarea and finally in Rome.
That is where Paul wrote the most telling of words:
“Only Luke is with me” (2 Timothy 4:11).
Luke was a Greek writing to fellow Gentiles, reassuring them that Christ came for all mankind.
Luke's work is unique in that it emphasizes the manhood of Jesus in all its perfection, purity, splendor, and sublimity.
Jesus was the model for us all.
The Gospel of Luke displays a keen interest in individuals, social outcasts, women, children, and social relationships, especially situations involving poverty or wealth. These features tell us something about Luke as a person and his unique understanding of Christianity.
The famous “we” passages beginning in Acts 16:10 reveal that Luke was eyewitness to much of Paul's ministry. Yet Luke makes clear in the introduction of the book of Luke that he was not witness to the events of his Gospel but had “investigated everything carefully from the beginning” (v. 3).
What possibilities does this statement open?
If, as most scholars agree, Luke wrote his Gospel around a.d. 60, it is possible that Mary, the mother of Jesus, was alive and about eighty years old. The captivating thought of Luke interviewing Mary is ascribed credibility by the fact that Luke lingers over the birth of Jesus like none other. He also includes a recitation of Mary's Song (Luke 1:46-55) that invokes at least twelve quotations of Old Testament Scripture. Luke's detail may have come from the very lips of Jesus’ mother.
Caesarea was only a few miles from Jerusalem, Jesus’ mother may have been still alive, at John's home in Jerusalem. Luke may have spent many precious hours with her, listening to her reminiscences of her Wondrous Son.
Respected scholar F. B. Meyer adds: “Luke dwells specially on the early incidents of our Lord's life, and some have detected in the Greek forms of sentences the direct recital of Mary as she recounted to Luke those sacred recollections which she pondered in her heart.”
Luke stressed the blessed humanity of Jesus and plights of women and children and the poor, sick, and outcast. From spending so much time with those closest to Jesus, Luke knew this is what the Lord would have wanted.
One of the most challenging elements of using the quill is finding a way to hide behind it. Luke got out of the way and allowed the Lord His rightful place out front. He served in the background, never directly referring to himself.
Luke labored without regard to himself or the persecution that raged around him. Luke was mighty in spirit because he did this by dying to self and living for the Lord whom he came to love more and more through the facts culled in interviews. He did this though his closest friend was in jail and ultimately under a death sentence.
"Only Luke is with me,” Paul says.
Nearby, Luke squinted at his notes, smiled, and picked up his stylus.
He is with us still.

Ohh Great Pumpkin
Did you know that the pumpkin is a fruit and not a vegetable? And that 80 percent of the pumpkin supply in the United States is available in October? This article explores some interesting facts about the common pumpkin and provides useful websites where you can find pumpkin recipes, original pumpkin carving ideas and school activities to keep kids busy during Halloween and Thanksgiving.
The name pumpkin originated from the Greek "pepon" which means "large melon." The pumpkin is a member of the cucurbitacae family which includes cucumbers and melons. Pumpkins were unknown to Europe until after Christopher Columbus sailed to America. They are grown around the world with the biggest productions being in China, India, United States and Mexico. Out of all the continents only Antarctica is unable to produce pumpkins. The Native American name for pumpkin is "isqoutm squash." Around 90-95 percent of the processed pumpkins in the United States are grown in Illinois.
Pumpkins are 90 percent water and contain vitamin A and potassium. 100 grams (3.5 oz) of pumpkin contain 0.01 grams of polyunsaturated fat, 1.0 grams of protein and 3100 pg of beta-carotene, an antioxidant. The seeds which are usually roasted are a popular treat and a good source of protein, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, and other vitamins. Studies and research show that beta-carotene is linked with cancer protection.
Most parts of the pumpkin are edible. The seeds can be dried and eaten as a nutritious snack. The flowers, leaves and shell are also comestible. The first pumpkin pies were made when colonists sliced off pumpkin tops and removed the seeds, then they filled the pumpkins with honey, milk and spices and baked them in hot ashes.
Pumpkins are said to have originated in the Americas and Native Americans had multiple uses for them. They roasted and ate the seeds, dried pieces of pumpkin in flour, they ate the blossoms and made strips from pumpkins which they flattened and wove into mats. They also used pumpkin seeds for medicinal purposes. Today pumpkins have become a North American tradition and a staple especially during Halloween and Thanksgiving. Pumpkin is used for cooking in a number of recipes from muffins and bread to pies and custards. It is also used in soups, to make pudding and cakes. Pumpkin can be bought whole fresh or canned for a longer shelf life
In other parts of the world pumpkins are used for cooking in a variety of ways. In Italy pumpkins have different regional cooking uses, they are used as a savory stuffing for ravioli, sliced in small pieces and then fried or they are cut in pieces and then candied. In the Middle East pumpkin is used in desserts. In Thailand small pumpkins are served as desserts with custard inside. In India pumpkin is cooked with sugar, spices and butter to produce a dish called kadu ka halwa. In China pumpkin leaves are cooked and eaten alone or in soups.
Other Pumpkin Uses
Pumpkin seeds produce oil that is used for cooking, as salad dressing or mixed with other oils. The oil is a good source of essential fatty acids that help maintain a healthy heart and blood vessels.
Veterinarians recommend canned pumpkin as a dietary supplement for cats and dogs with digestive problems. Pumpkins are also used as animal feed.
In 2007 in a research on type-1 diabetes conducted by East China Normal University it was suggested that chemical compounds found in pumpkin extract are very good for pre-diabetic people and for those who already have diabetes.
The Pumpkin and Halloween
Many centuries ago the Celts used to celebrate the end of the Celtic year from October 31 at sundown until November 1st by remembering their loved ones who had passed away. To honor them on this magical night they set on their porches and window sills glowing jack-o-lanterns carved from turnips and gourds. The original Jack-o-lantern was an old drunkard who played tricks on anyone who went his way, so says the legend of Stingy Jack. When the old man died neither heaven nor hell wanted him because he had been mean and cruel during his life. Afraid that he would have to keep wandering in a never ending darkness Jack turned to the devil to help him his way through the darkness, the devil tossed an ember from the flames of hell to help Jack find his way. Jack kept the ember in a hollowed out turnip and since then Jack is said to have roamed the universe with his lit Jack-o-lantern.
When European settlers, especially the Irish, arrived in North America they discovered the pumpkin which lent itself to carving the Jack-o-lantern and they thought it was easier to carve because of the larger size. Halloween, however, didn't catch on until the late 19th century. Since then pumpkin carving at Halloween has become a North American tradition and a fun activity for children and adults alike. In the United States, long before its association with Halloween, the pumpkin was associated with harvesting, hence Thanksgiving.
How to Select a Pumpkin for Cooking or Baking
The best selection for a pumpkin to cook or bake is a pie pumpkin or sweet pumpkin. Pie or sweet pumpkins are smaller than the type of pumpkins used to carve jack-o-lanterns and the flesh is sweeter and not as watery. When selecting a pumpkin, look for a stem that is one to two inches. When the stem of a pumpkin is cut too low, the pumpkin will quickly decay or may already be decaying at time of purchase. Pumpkins should be heavy, and pumpkins that are blemished or have soft spots should be avoided. A pound of raw pumpkin usually constitutes one cup finished pumpkin puree.
Other Pumpkin Facts
•The size of pumpkins range from less than a pound to over 1,000 pounds, with the largest pumpkin ever grown weighing 1,689 pounds.
•In 2006 the total U.S. pumpkin production was 1 billion pounds. Top states in pumpkin production are: California, Illinois, Ohio, and Pennsylvania.

October's Shawl
October is a lovely month
Wrapped in a flaming shawl
It holds the richest treasures
As the summer turns to fall.
The brilliant leaves swirl to the earth
Colors of orange and brown
Dipped in scarlet and touched with bronze
They fall silently to the ground.
The grass is dying, the flowers are gone
October is taking his stand
He is paving the way for winter
Leaving his mark upon the land.
He does his job so silently
Splashing the woodlands with gold
To be altered by ruthless 'Ole Winter
Who enters so careless and bold.
He will crinkle the leaves that you've colored
Causing a state of despair
And cover the day with a blanket of gray
Forgetting you ever were there.
But, although your radiant flame must die
And the delicate leaves do fall
You've paved the way for snowflake days
As winter drapes your shawl.

The Stuff of Scars
"And he brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, "You are Simon son of John. You will be called Cephas" John 1:42 NIV (which, when translated, is Peter).
Both Cephas (Aramaic) and Peter (Greek) mean "rock" or "stone".
I have always found it immeasurably comforting that Jesus gave Simon the name "Cephas," or Peter, before Cephas had done much of anything. Before Peter had even determined to follow Jesus, let alone serve him and love him as the Christ, before Peter had muttered his denials of knowing Jesus or had one of his moments of blurted insight, before Jesus had reason to call Peter "Satan," Jesus called him the "rock" (John 1:42).
First, I believe it shouts of God's sovereignty. God knows who we are before we know ourselves. God can use us in spite of ourselves. God is sovereign over our failures and our successes. But secondly, it reminds us that we are more than the sum of our blunders and failings, as well as our victories and our bright spots. As the apostle Paul wrote to the Romans: "But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8). Before we had a chance to prove ourselves, before we had a chance to fall on our faces or say something smart, God knew that He would need to die for us, and did.
Peter is the disciple that makes many of us feel okay. He is a loud statement to the hopeless, to the skeptic, and to the guilt-ridden that the Father can take our doubt, our regret, the hopelessness of our past or our present, and create in us something solid by giving us Himself. In Peter we also find that pains of regret and faithlessness may leave scars, but that scars can be powerful reminders of the living hope we profess: the Word that will not wither (See 1 Peter 24-25). Through Peter, God encourages the weary. Through our scars, Christ heartens us to see a God very much in control.
Even so, when we look at our own moments of faithlessness or foolishness, our scars of humiliation, or the bitter sting of missed and lost opportunities, it is hard to see much beyond regret and remorse, even if we know Christ has forgiven us. Can there be more to see in the weight of our past, the pains of childhood and the wounds of life, the glimpses of guilty motives and poor behavior? The testimony of Scripture is that yes, very definitely, there is.
For arguably, Peter's passion for Christ was largely shaped by that which the pain and humiliation of denying Jesus rightly reminded him: "If we are faithless, God remains faithful, for God cannot deny Himself" (2 Timothy 2:13). Our scars are similar. Some of my own scars simply remind me that I am alive, living within a fallen world, participating in this fragile thing called life. Some remind me that I am not an island, that I need people, that I desperately need a savior, that I need God in all that I face. Still others remind me that I am healed and being healed. But all of my scars can remind me, as they did Peter, of the sovereignty of God and the weight and responsibility of the hope which I profess. "Do you love me?" asks Jesus. "Yes, Lord," responds Peter. "Then feed my sheep."
When Jesus appeared to the gathered, frightened disciples after his resurrection, he said to them, "See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself. Touch me and see" (Luke 24:39). The frightened disciples had gathered together to discuss the rumors some had heard that Christ was alive and out of the grave, risen from the cruel death they witnessed days ago. They were disoriented and afraid, and Jesus said to them, "Look at my hands and my feet." And to Thomas, "Put your finger here, and see my hands; and put out your hand, and place it in my side" (John 20:27). To his closest friends, Jesus said, "Look at my scars, see that it is me. Recognize me by my scars; they will point you to God."
Christ was recognized by the scars that marked his body, and shouted of his love. As the powerful lyrics of musician Michael Card exclaim, "The marks of death that God chose never to erase/ The wounds of love's eternal war/ When the kingdom comes with its perfected sons/ He will be known by the scars."
Like our own, but far beyond this, the scars of Christ point us to a sovereign God who goes great lengths to touch our disfigured world and scarred souls with his holy hands. As the prophet Isaiah proclaimed long ago, "He was crushed for our iniquities. By his stripes we are healed." No doubt, it was this piercing reality of Christ bearing the scars of our sin, carrying our pain, and taking our shame, that Peter bore in mind as he dynamically instructed, "Throw all your anxieties upon Him, because He cares about you" (1 Peter 5:7). For Peter, of all people, knew.

Collect and preserve autumn leaves to bring the beauty of the season into your home.
As the fall foliage starts to change, consider turning autumn leaves into decorative home accents. Colorful maple leaves in rich fall reds and coppers make beautiful centerpieces. Pile them into baskets and bowls and clusters them around lamp bases. Create leaf collages to frame or mount in shadowboxes—the possibilities go on and on.
The key to leaf crafts though is to keep the leaves from crumbling, curling or turning brown. On an ironing board place the leaves between two sheets of wax paper with the waxy side on the leaf. Cover with brown paper (like a grocery bag) and iron on medium heat. The iron will melt the wax onto the leaf, preserving not only its shape but its color.
And after the season is over, store the leaves in a cool, dry place for next year.
Make pillar candles embellished with leaves the highlight of your table. Or arrange them on the mantel.
Plan the leaf pattern on a flat surface. Brush a thin layer of craft glue onto each leaf and press onto pillar candles of various heights. Arrange candles on a tray and surround with loose leaves. So Pretty!

In the year 1483 in Eisleben, Saxony, a baby boy was born to a poor coal miner. As he grew up and observed the poverty of his father, this boy, named Martin, chose to pursue a different vocation.
The question he repeatedly wrote in his diary was: "How can a man find favor with God?" In search of such peace, Martin devoted himself to an exceedingly pious life-style. He would fast for ten to fifteen days at a time. When temperatures dropped below freezing, he slept outside without a blanket. Between his studies, he beat his body until it was black and blue and bleeding - hoping that somehow by punishing his flesh, he could rid himself of the thoughts and motives that he knew were not right (these were typical practices of the medieval church). He went to confession so many times a day that finally the abbot said, "Martin, either go out and commit a sin worth confessing or stop coming here so often!"
Finally, in 1509, Martin decided to make a pilgrimage to Rome in hope of finding the elusive peace for which he longed. He set out on foot and crossed the Alps. On his descent, he almost died of a high fever before making his way to a monastery at the foot of the mountains. There the Brothers nursed him back to health.
While there, a wise monk approached him and said, "You need to read the Book of Habakkuk." And so Martin did just that. He read Habakkuk. It was a good suggestion. Habakkuk was a struggler just like Martin, and like us today: If God is good, why does He allow suffering? If there really is a devil, why doesn't God just obliterate him? (When we throw out questions, we then plunge into our personal pursuits-and wonder why we don't get answers.)
One verse captured Martin's imagination: Habakkuk 2:4. "The just shall live by faith." He couldn't get it out of his mind. Having recovered sufficiently to continue his journey to Rome, he went to the Church of St. John's Lateran, a typical cathedral of that day.
There is a staircase there that is said to be from Pilate's judgment hall. The existing stairs are four parts: the special inner two are said to have been transported there miraculously from Jerusalem. The outer two are ordinary. The inner steps are not walked on. Here pilgrims mount painfully on their knees, a step at a time, saying prayers as they go. The pope had promised an indulgence to all who would undergo this rite.
As Martin repeated his prayers on the Lateran staircase, Habakkuk 2:4 suddenly came into his mind: "the just shall live by faith." He ceased his prayers, returned to the University of Wittenberg, and went on to explore the revolutionary idea of "justification by faith." And with great deliberation, on October 31, 1517, Martin drove a stake into the heart of the prevailing pagan concepts by nailing his famous 95 Theses to the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg, Germany, and started the movement known today as the Reformation - the single most important event in modern history.
Appropriately, he did this on Halloween. His name, of course, was Martin Luther. The church leadership didn't like the implications of his views and ultimately, at the Diet (council) of Worms (a town) they excommunicated him as a heretic.
He went on to write commentaries that are classics today; hymns like, "A Mighty Fortress is our God"; and translated the entire Bible into German, a classic which remains the literary masterpiece in the Germanic tongue.
Now; you know the rest of the story ... and how you came to have your Protostant roots.

If we will make certain that we study the Word every day, spend time in prayer and stay faithful in our lives, then we will naturally bear fruit. Our job is to stay connected to Jesus and allow His life and His love to flow out through our life towards others.
What is a requirement for stewardship?
What is promised to a faithful person?
To become a faithful person, what are we told to consider, or think about?
"His master replied, 'Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master's happiness!" Matthew 25:21
We often praise God for His faithfulness. We're thankful that we can always count on Him to be there for us. But we rarely consider the fact that He needs us to be faithful too.
God needs people He can count on. He needs wise and trusted servants He can entrust over His household. In these last days, He needs faithful men and women to team up with, so He can show His power and goodness to the world more than ever.
If there is any one characteristic or virtue that causes a person to stand out from the crowd and to receive God's undivided attention, it is faithfulness. When the Lord finds a faithful believer, He focuses His undivided attention upon him. Therefore, we believers should desire to develop the fruit of faithfulness because God is looking for this character quality in His people.
OUR AGENDA OR HIS?
So many times the reason Christians get into trouble and have unnecessary problems in life is that they don't want to spend time seeking the Lord. They want to make their own plans, and then they want God to bless their plans. But it doesn't work that way. Cultivating faithfulness in the smallest things will build the strength in you to stand through the big challenges of life.
Take inventory ...
Take an inventory as to where you are at. Check to see that you are moving in the direction of your calling and your priorities. Check your priorities to see that they are Word-focused and are aligned with the characteristics and examples set by Jesus, the author and the finisher of your faith.
... and trust Him ...
Be patient as you fulfill God's plan for your life step by step. Even when things don't happen the way you think they should or when you think they should, faithfulness is what will bring you through to victory in God.
... no matter what the circumstances.
There are times when it may seem so much easier to do something other than what God has said to do. But, oh, the rewards of faithfulness! When we say yes to God and we're faithful to do what He says to do, He is so faithful to us, and life works out so much better for us than we could ever have imagined. The answers may not come overnight, but if you will not be weary in well doing, in due season you shall reap, if you faint not.
The Lord of Heaven wants to bring you into promotion, open doors of leadership and have you stand before kingdoms and declare God's greatness. Cultivating faithfulness in your life puts you in position to receive God's faithfulness to you in meeting your needs and brings protection from the attacks of the enemy.
Faithfulness to God produces a heart that is full of faith towards Him no matter what the circumstances. Determine to be the kind of person God can trust to follow through, no matter what the inconvenience or discomfort. Stand fast and show that you mean business with God. God never fails... and neither should you.
Proverbs 20:6; 28:20
Psalm 31:23; 101:6

What Does the Holy Word Say?Bible Word Study
~ Safely Home ~
When our days are filled with sorrow
Jesus lead us through the fire,
When our way is filled with stones
When cloud and rain appear, and we see no sun,
Clear our way and light our path. Show us you're the only one,
When we can't see the difference from friend or foe,
Direct us with your mighty hand and show us where to go.
When we finally leave this world and meet on heaven's shore
Cease our tears, still our fears, and banish our worries so we can rejoice forever more.
And lead us safely and finally home.
1. In 1 Chronicles, we are told to give thanks to the Lord, call on His name and make known what He has done. Where do we make this known?
2. Thanks be to God because He gives us what through our Lord Jesus Christ?
3. According to 1 Thessalonians, when are we to give thanks?
4. We are to enter the Lord's courts with praise and His gates with what? Ps. 100:4
5. For what are we to give thanks for God the Father according to Ephesians 5?
6. In the NIV, in Luke 14, what 4 places did the master tell his servant to gather folks to come into his banquet?
Luke 14:15--24
7. Do you know where this Passage of Scripture can be found?
"For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline. So do not be ashamed to testify about our Lord, or ashamed of me his prisoner. But join with me in suffering for the gospel, by the power of God, who has saved us and called us to a holy life — not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time"
(It's found in 2 Timothy 1:7-9)
8. If we are ashamed of Jesus and His words, what did He say He will be of us, when He comes in His glory?
9. Did you know that the Bible speaks of God's creation praising him? Well, it does.
It says in Isaiah 55:12 that the_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ and _ _ _ _ _ will burst into song, and that the _ _ _ _ _ * _ _ _ * _ _ _ _ * _ _ _ _ _ will clap their hands.
10. Do you know where this Verse can be found?
"Above all, my brothers, do not swear—not by heaven or by earth or by anything else. Let your "Yes" be yes, and your "No," no, or you will be condemned".
(It's found in James 5:12)
How many different words can you make out of this one word?
"The greatest proof of Christianity for others is not how far a man can logically analyze his reasons for believing, but how far in practice he will stake his life on his belief".
-T. S. Eliot (1888-1965)

The multilayer wiring board comprises a core substrate and two or more wiring layers provided on the core substrate through an electrical insulating layer. The core substrate has a plurality of throughholes filled with an electroconductive material, and the front side and back side of the core substrate have been electrically conducted to each other by the electroconductive material. The throughholes have an opening diameter in the range of 10 to 100 μm. An insulation layer and an electroconductive material diffusion barrier layer are also provided, and the electroconductive material is filled into the throughholes through the insulation layer. A first wiring layer provided through an electrical insulating layer on the core substrate is connected to the electroconductive material filled into the throughhole through via.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a partial longitudinal cross-sectional view showing one embodiment of the multilayer wiring board according to the present invention;
Example 1 A silicon substrate having a thickness of 625 μm and a diameter of 150 mm was provided as a core material. A novolak positive-working resist material (PMER-P-LA900PM, manufactured by Tokyo Ohka Kogyo Co., Ltd.) was coated onto one side of the core material, and the assembly was exposed and developed through a photomask for throughhole formation. Thus, mask patterns having four types of circular openings respectively with diameters of 10 μm, 30 μm, 70 μm, and 100 μm were formed. More specifically, a mask pattern having circular openings with a diameter of 10 μm provided at pitches of 20 μm, a mask pattern having circular openings with a diameter of 30 μm provided at pitches of 60 μm, a mask pattern having circular openings with a diameter of 70 μm provided at pitches of 150 μm, and a mask pattern having circular openings with a diameter of 100 μm provided at pitches of 200 μm were formed.
Example 2 The same core material as used in Example 1 was first provided, and a plurality of pores were formed in the core material by ICP-RIE dry etching. The depth of the pores was about 350 μm.
Example 3 The same core material as used in Example 1 was first provided. Throughholes were formed in the core material in the same manner as in Example 1.
Example 4 A core substrate (a core substrate as shown in FIG. 2) of which the front side and back side have been electrically conducted to each other by filled copper plating was prepared in the same manner as in Example 3, except that an electroconductive base layer formed of a laminate of a 30 nm-thick titanium layer and a 200 nm-thick copper layer was formed by using vapor deposition instead of sputtering, and a filled plating solution having the following composition was used.
Example 5 The same core material as used in Example 1 was first provided. Throughholes were formed in the core material in the same manner as in Example 1.
Example 6 A core substrate (a core substrate as shown in FIG. 2) of which the front side and back side have been electrically conducted to each other by filled copper plating, was prepared in the same manner as in Example 5, except that an electroconductive base layer formed of a laminate of a 30 nm-thick titanium layer and a 200 nm-thick copper layer was formed by using vapor deposition instead of sputtering, and the same filled plating solution as in Example 4 was used.
Example 7 The same core material as used in Example 1 was first provided. Throughholes were formed in the core material in the same manner as in Example 1.
Example 8 The same core material as used in Example 1 was first provided, and a plurality of pores were formed in the core material by ICP-RIE dry etching. The depth of the pores was about 350 μm.
Example 9 The same core material as used in Example 1 was first provided, and throughholes were formed in the core material in the same manner as in Example 1.
Comparative Example 1 The formation of a core substrate followed by the preparation of a multilayer wiring board was carried out in the same manner as in Example 2, except that the order of the formation of the electroconductive material diffusion barrier layer and the formation of the insulation layer was reversed.
Comparative Example 2 The preparation of a core substrate followed by the preparation of a multilayer wiring board was carried out in the same manner as in Example 5, except that any second insulation layer was not formed.
INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY As described above, the present invention is useful for the manufacture of various multilayer wiring board and electronic equipment and the like.

And so, I sew: Gifting season
The season of gifting is upon us again and for me it starts with a few pre-Christmas birthdays.This little skirt was part of a gift that also included the tiered Grand Revival skirt I blogged here, and a matching appliqued T that I didn't take a pic of.It's a super-simple pattern by Kwik Sew - 3055; and is a straight-fronted, elastic-backed skirt.I decided to make the waist adjustable and picked up some button-hole elastic to do it with.It was easy to do - just make a button hole on the front piece of the skirt close to the side seams, prior to turning over the waistband.Then sew a button in front of the button hole, thread the elastic through the waist and hook onto the buttons.That way you can pull more elastic through to make it tighter or set to a looser fit just by playing around with the elastic.In doing this I hope that the little girl it is for will get a little more wear out of it.There are a few more on the cutting table getting read for Christmas.
I love it Karen. I wish I had bought some of that apple fabric too. Love the idea of buttonhole elastic for the waist.
That's so cute!!! I haven't tried button hole elastic yet.
Karen I love it too and I haven't tried that elastic yet either
What a cool skirt! And that's a great idea using the buttonhole elastic. Perfect for gifts when you're unsure of sizing.
Love the skirt! I am sure the recipient will love it too! Great idea about the buttonhole elastic. I have some in my stash but have been too scared to use it!
Great skirt Karen, I have always wanted to do a flat front, elastic back skirt, now I know a good pattern.
so cute...I recognised that fabric! I haven't been by your blog for a long time and now I need to catch up!everyone is growing fast!Corrie;)
Ahhh wish I had seen your post before I finished DS' shorts, I was having a real dilemma trying to figure out how to make the elastic adjustable, oh well thanks for posting - now I will try that for the next pair :)I have a heap of pants from pumpkin patch with these type of waist bands and never thought to do that *duh*:)
You just reminded me that I have some of that button hole elastic! Whoops!
What a lovely blog you have - came here from Hoppo Bumpo. How do you manage to make so much cool stuff and look after 3 littlees - I feel I need to lift my game somewhat :) Looking forward to reading more
I too have come across from Hoppo and am looking forward to sitting down with a cuppa and reading through some of your old posts. I've stuck you on my blogroll so I'll be back for more. Love your skirt! The flat front is a great idea to showcase a fabric pattern.Cheers, Lynda

We will never forget…remembering Dennis O’Berg | Rich Girl, Poor Girl
We will never forget…remembering Dennis O’Berg
Last year, for the tenth anniversary of the attacks on our country, I was humbled to get comments from people who knew Dennis and loved him. They all expressed thanks that someone was remembering him in this way, but it is my honor to post this every year. There have been so many developments in the war on terror since the day the Twin Towers fell, but at the heart of it will always be the fact that there were thousands of heroes made on that day and that hundreds and hundreds of emergency workers from across the FDNY, the NYPD, and the PAPD went to work that day to do their jobs and never made it home. It our job to remember them always. Below is my original post.
Ken Schwartz on September 11, 2012 at 8:38 pm said:
Thank you for continuing to honor my old coworker and friend. He was always funny and someone you enjoyed being around! God rest his soul.

Poseidon Awoke: Pathologizing Whiteness.
This 'White Privilege' notion is simply the pathologization of whiteness. We've seen feminists engaged in the pathologization of masculinity for decades. This is simply the Marxist Critical Theory taken to its logical conclusion. Marx recognized that you can divide any group into oppressed and oppressor. For him, in a homogenous population, this dividing line was class. For the feminists the dividing line is gender. For 'anti-racists' the dividing line is between whiteness and non-whiteness. This is why many refer to this process as 'Cultural Marxism', which is Marxist critical theory applied to all aspects of society and culture.
It's not hard to see that all of these critical theories applied to every aspect of society simply increase the fractures and divisions between groups of humans. Obviously, these dividing lines are the focus of all their efforts. As the fractures are pressured, we see social cohesion dissolve, resulting in the atomization of society, where individuals are alienated from the larger group identity and begin to act solely in self-interest. While 'anti-racists' claim to be working to bring us together, their actions lead inevitably to division. They teach non-whites to hate whites. They teach whites to hate themselves. They teach whites to hate whites who do not hate whites.
'White Privilege' is a message of hate and division. Unfortunately, there does not appear to be any way to stop this process, until we reach a point where all social cohesion breaks down. So, believe in 'White Privilege' if you hate whites and want to hasten a race war, or you can choose to be a peace-maker and tell these idiots to go find something useful to do.

Families R Built with Love: The good, the bad and the crazy!
Well right off the top, life is crazy! Last week I was in the Big City the last 3 days of the week for work. I had to leave home before the kids got up and returned not too much before the littles went to bed. Plus Rob was gone. They were not amused. They let us know.
This week has its own crazy. We have moved on to the next room requiring renovations. Our front hall, poor neglected room. It is 12 x 12 and the paper is at least 20 years old. Probably longer. Which means it should strip off easily off the old horsehair plaster walls. And it does. . . except where it has bonded like a glacier pressed it into place. I spent most of the weekend devoting time to the stripping process. The next 2 days I have work at my usual office. Wednesday we have our annual 4th of July BBQ with some close friends who are also godparents to our tribe. Thursday I work till noon and then leave to take the kids camping through Sunday. Another set of close friends and I do this annually and it is a blast. But that also means there should be camping prep in there somewhere. So far, camping prep has consisted of a pile of clothes for the littles that I put in my room. I think I need a bit more than that to make this work!
Rob and his girlfriend are going out on Tuesday night, so there will be transport and time involved in that. We have a double order of piece work to get done for the factory so my fingers are flying at night when everyone except Rob and I have gone to bed. We created the invitations for KC and Lissa's summer party (to be held on 8/25) and I need to spend some time figuring out the logistics of that. Some stuff is in place but there will be lots of kids so we need a wide variety of things to do.
But you know what? Some how, most of it will happen. And it will be good!
