I don't remember anything in the Bible that says anything like that. -------- Barbara Vaughan My email address is my first initial followed by my last name at libero dot it. |

In 1980 I went to The Netherlands as part of a People-to-People
International group Bonnie, my grandson went on a People-to-People trip last year during the summer. They visited England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland. He said the homestays were the best part. It's a great program. Rusty from CT ^(-.-)^ Dusty the Shi-Poo |

That may be it, I had to get rid of a couple old pictures, that had some
saint in it, with lots of feathers around the person. I had it hung in our bedroom, and boy did he get mad at that, and I asked him, do you see me kneeling down to that picture to pray to it, and he knows where I do most my praying, in the library. So to keep the sanity in this marriage, I got rid of them, to show him how I am with things like that. But I found a few good things, like not drinking to get drunk, he tells me that he knew that was in there, but believes that he didn't get drunk, well I showed him, got him on video tape to prove he was wrong, so now he don't tell me things that I have to do, because it tells him so in the bible. I know how to read, and comprehend what I read, and know just push things right back at him of what he does or doesn't do. -- Maine-iac Rose @--- remove the thorns to email me http://community.webshots.com/user/maineiacrose "Cheryl Perkins" wrote in message Some people think it comes under the prohibition against worshipping idols. I don't think it does since I don't worship nativity scenes. In fact, I could use a new one since the cats broke one of the statues from my old one, but I'm waiting until I see something I really love. -- Cheryl |

I live in Toronto, Canada and have done so for the past,
oh, 40-odd years. I'm in the opposite end of the city from Darlene and we have met a couple of times. de-stashing. Three years ago I moved into a house with my brother and SIL and found I had a lot less space. After a bit, the shear volume of yarn and fabric was driving me crazy and I was lucky enough that Darlene came to the rescue. She took bags of stuff from me, donated it around and took what she did not want to Goodwill. I don't have a car so she came over. I was so greatful. I still have a lot of stuff but I just gained a new room in the house in the attic - well, soon, and I am going to turn it into a sewing, knitting machine, yarn, fabric room. I am so looking forward to that because I find it so difficult to work when I can't find my yarn and I can't find a flat surface anyway to lay stuff out. Jane in Toronto |
