"To
be a Christian means to forgive the inexcusable,
because God has forgiven the inexcusable in you."
C. S. Lewis
But when Jesus saw this, He was indignant and said to them, "Permit the children to come to Me; do not hinder them; for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. Truly I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it at all." And He took them in His arms and began blessing them, laying His hands upon them.
Mark 10:14-16
At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, "Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?" And He called a child to Himself and set him before them, and said, "Truly I say to you, unless you are converted and become like children, you shall not enter the kingdom of heaven. Whoever then humbles himself as this child, he is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoever receives one such child in My name receives Me; but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it is better for him that a heavy millstone be hung around his neck, and that he be drowned in the depth of the sea. Woe to the world because of its stumbling blocks! For it is inevitable that stumbling blocks come; but woe to that man through whom the sumbling block comes! And if your hand or your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it from you; it is better for you to enter life crippled or lame, than having two hands or two feet, to be cast into the eternal fire. And if your eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out, and throw it from you. It is better for you to enter life with one eye, than having two eyes, to be cast into the fiery hell. See that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you, that their angels in heaven continually behold the face of My Father who is in heaven."
Matthew 18:1-10
"BE JESUS TO A CHILD TODAY."

HUMP
OF THE CHAIN
QUESTION
Can you
explain a term for me please?
I'm relatively new to crocheting and this is the first attempt I've made to
do anything other than an afghan.
What exactly is "the hump"? I've not come across that term before.
ANSWER
Each chain has a top loop
and a bottom loop on the front side and on the back there is a little hump.
When you make the foundation chain (the chains made to begin your project) the
front side of the chain will look like little hearts sitting on top of each
other. When you flip the chain over to the back side it looks like a little
row of humps.

Hi, Love the pattern for
the baby hat using the powder puff wool.
Do you have the alterations to make it to fit a 9 month old baby?
Thanks, Carmen.
<< reply >>
Thanks Carmen.
This pattern is for newborn size but you can adjust the size somewhat by changing
your hook and/or yarn size. Sorry, I do not have specific alteration instructions.
RE: Baby Beanie
I would like to do the baby beanie cap but I am pretty new and have a question on one of the instructions. It says in R2 sl st bet next 2 sts. ch 3 dc in same sp. 2 dc bet all other sts. What does the bet mean? thank you sandy v
<< reply >>
Bet is the abbreviation
for "between".
Work the slip stitch between the next 2 stitches.
Then chain 3 and double crochet in the same space.
Work 2 double crochet stitches between all the other stitches.

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.

A professor was giving a big test one day to his students. He handed out all of the tests and went back to his desk to wait. Once the test was over the students all handed the tests back in. The professor noticed that one of the students had attached a $100 bill to his test with a note saying "A dollar per point." The next class the professor handed the tests back out. The student got back his test score and $64 change.

I was at the airport, checking in at the gate when an airport employee asked, "Has anyone put anything in your baggage without your knowledge?
To which I replied, "If it was without my knowledge, how would I know?
He smiled knowingly and nodded, "That's why we ask."
Rummaging through her attic
one day, my friend Kathryn found an old shotgun.
Unsure how to dispose of it, she called her parents.
"Take it to the police station," her mother suggested.
My friend was about to hang up when her mom added....
"And, Kathryn?"
"Yes, mom?"
"Call them first and let them know you're coming."
A pastor was speaking to a group of second-graders about the resurrection of Jesus when one student asked, "What did Jesus say right after He came out of the grave?"
The pastor explained that the Gospels do not tell us what He said.
The hand of one little girl shot up. "I know what He said: He said....
'Tah-Dah!'
An air-head goes into a bank to withdraw some money. "Can you identify yourself?" asks the bank clerk.
There's a nice reflective window at the desk, so the air-head takes a long, careful look and then says, "Yes, it's me all right."
A minister delivered a sermon in ten minutes one Sunday morning that was about half the usual length of his sermons. He explained, "I regret to inform you that my dog, who is very fond of eating paper, ate that portion of my sermon which I was unable to deliver this morning."
After the service, a visitor from another church shook hands with the preacher as he was leaving, and said, "Sir, if that dog of yours has any pups, I sure would like to get one to give to my minister!"

After tucking their three-year-old child Sammy in for bed one night, his parents heard sobbing coming from his room. Rushing back in, they found him crying hysterically. He managed to tell them that he had swallowed a penny and he was sure he was going to die. No amount of talking helped. His father, in an attempt to calm him down, palmed a penny from his pocket and pretended to pull it from Sammy's ear. Sammy was delighted.
In a flash, he snatched it from his father's hand, swallowed it, then cheerfully demanded, "Do it again, Dad!"
Three contractors were visiting a tourist attraction on the same day. One was from New York, another from Texas, and the third from Florida. At the end of the tour, the guard asked them what they did for a living. When they all replied that they were contractors the guard said, ''Hey, we need one of the rear fences redone. Why don't you guys take a look at it and give me a bid?'' So to the back fence they all went.
First to step up was the Florida contractor. He took out his tape measure and pencil, did some measuring and said, ''Well I figure the job will run about $900. $400 for materials, $400 for my crew, and $100 profit for me.''
Next was the Texas contractor. He also took out his tape measure and pencil, did some quick figuring and said, ''Looks like I can do this job for $700. $300 for materials, $300 for my crew, and $100 profit for me.''
Without so much as moving, the New York contractor said, ''$2,700.''
The guard, incredulous,
looked at him and said, ''You didn't even measure like the other guys!
How did you come up with such a high figure?''
''Easy,'' he said.
''$1,000 for me, $1,000 for you, and we hire the guy from Texas.''
A man went to buy a new
tie. He found one he liked, but it didn't have a price tag.
So he asked the clerk, "Hey buddy, how much is this tie?"
Clerk: "Sixty-five dollars."
Man: "What?!
I can buy a pair of shoes with that kind of money!"
Clerk: "Maybe, but how would a pair of shoes look around your neck?"
A boy was sitting on a park
bench with one hand resting on an open Bible.
He was loudly exclaiming his praise to God.
"Hallelujah! Hallelujah! God is great!" he yelled without worrying whether anyone
heard him or not.
Shortly after, along came
a man who had recently completed some studies at a local university.
Feeling himself very enlightened in the ways of truth and very eager to show
this enlightenment, he asked the boy about the source of his joy.
"Hey" asked the boy in return
with a bright laugh,
"Don't you have any idea what God is able to do?
I just read that God opened up the waves of the Red Sea and led the whole nation
of Israel right through the middle." The enlightened man laughed lightly, sat
down next to the boy and began to try to open his eyes to the "realities" of
the miracles of the Bible.
"That can all be very easily
explained.
Modern scholarship has shown that the Red Sea in that area was only 10-inches
deep at that time. It was no problem for the Israelites to wade across."
The boy was stumped.
His eyes wandered from the man back to the Bible laying open in his lap.
The man, content that he had enlightened a poor, naive young person to the finer points of scientific insight, turned to go. Scarcely had he taken two steps when the boy began to rejoice and praise louder than before. The man turned to ask the reason for this resumed jubilation.
"Wow!" exclaimed the boy
happily,
"God is greater than I thought!
Not only did He lead the whole nation of Israel through the Red Sea,
He topped it off by drowning the whole Egyptian army in 10-inches of water!"
