New members!

We were blessed with the addition of a new family to our church this past Sunday!  God is Good!  Starting a church is definitely a long, VERY long, process, but the benefits far out-weigh the waiting.  It is so good to be able to grow together in God's Word and grow closer together as families in Christ.  "Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!" -Psalm 133:1  As Clara's favorite song says, "Thank you, LORD, for your blessings on me."

On another note, one of my sisters is learning to crochet, {and doing a great job, I might add} so I decided to give it a try.  I can already do a little knitting, but I've never been able to catch on to crocheting.  So, no better time than the present.  Plus, I can't have her showing me up, now can I? 
I did a little digging and I found a few videos that are a big help.  It's amazing what you can learn from the internet and youtube! If you'd like to learn too, this link will take you to the beginning crochet stitches and this link will give you some various crochet stitches to learn.  Also on the side bar you will find all kinds of other crochet videos that may be of help.  Have fun!  

For all you Jane Austen fans out there, I finally watched Pride and Prejudice.....yes, the LONG one.  I think it's about 5 1/2 hours at least. I will admit, it was pretty good.  I'm not sure what my favorite Jane Austen movie is though,  I did like the new Emma done by BBC.  But I really like Sense and Sensibility too.  Oh well, that is a matter for another time.  I know my girls have their favorites, and can carry on very lengthy conversations about them all.  So, I'll just let you talk to them about it.
