Destiny's Child

My spiritual life is an important part of who I am; it shapes my worldview, my attitudes, and my actions. One of the things I like about my church (TLR) is that the people there are about celebrating and deepening that relationship with God.

Yesterday, Pastor Kevin nailed something that is so vital to us --- whether we know it or not, whether it is obvious or so subtle we can't really see it fully, we have a destiny.

Here are some tidbits:

• speak into your own destiny -- in other words, talk (and think) positively about where you are going in your life. And of course, recognize you are indeed going somewhere!


• encourage yourself -- it's great when others encourage you, but you also need to perform this important task for yourself.


• do not let anything get in the way of your destiny. God has a purpose for you --- it is up to you to work hard, overcome the obstacles, and have the courage to achieve it!

I know I'm "Destiny's Child".... How about you?

Great Idea for Knitters!

I just have to pass this along! Several of us About.com Guides were chatting via email, and someone mentioned how their husband didn't understand the desire to knit socks...since they'd be hidden by boots or shoes anyway. Another Guide chimed in with this lovely answer:

"What you need is a pair of clear wellington boots! At a fiber festival I went to a couple of years ago there was a stall selling clear boots which showed off nicely a pair of handknitted socks. They did a storming trade, but I don't think the idea caught on, as I did a google search this morning and can't find anything like it - which is a shame (but perhaps a business opportunity...)." --- Kate Pullen, Guide to Rubberstamping

P.S. Kate did find a pair! "Found a pair! - http://www.fleming.flump.net/~webofwoo/shop/product.php?xProd=320&xSec=36

This is a funny idea too - turn your handknitted sock into a money box http://www.fleming.flump.net/~webofwoo/shop/product.php?xProd=354&xSec=36 "
