Etsy…

April 22, 2010

Have you ever been to Etsy?It is a wonderful place full of magic and handmade gifts…I love it. Not just because I sell stuff (because I really have only sold a few things!) but mostly because it combines the digital age with the wonders of the past. Handmade items at their finest. All for your […]

She found my custom quilt listing on Etsy and ordered one for a wedding gift. I started to post about it earlier, then decided to wait until after […]

Earth Day Tutorial

April 22, 2009

Dangerous Women

May we be dangerous women.
May we be women who acknowledge our power to change, and grow, and be radically alive in God.
May we be healers of wounds and righters of wrongs.
May we weep with those who weep and speak for those who cannot speak for themselves.
May we cherish children, embrace the elderly, and empower the poor.
May we pray deeply and teach wisely.
May we be strong and gentle leaders.
May we sing songs of joy and talk down fear.
May we never hesitate to let passion push us , conviction propel us, and righteous anger energize us.
May we strike fear into all that is unjust and evil in the world.
May we dismantle abusive systems and silence lies with truth.
May we shine like stars in a darkened generation.
May we overflow with goodness in the name of God and by the power of Jesus.
And in that name, and by that power, may we change the world.
