“And He was saying to them all, “If anyone wishes to follow Me [as My disciple], he must deny himself [set aside selfish interests], and take up his cross daily [expressing a willingness to endure whatever may come] and follow Me [believing in Me, conforming to My example in living and, if need be, suffering or perhaps dying because of faith in Me]. For whoever wishes to save his life [in this world] will [eventually] lose it [through death], but whoever loses his life [in this world] for My sake, he is the one who will save it [from the consequences of sin and separation from God].” -Luke 9:23-24

Creativity in Many Ways

So now that we have our new furniture, we really needed to paint.  My brother blessed us with the paint and with his time to come over and texturize our walls.  At least he showed Josh how to do it and he really ran with it and did a fantastic job.  There are great advantages to having a tall son.  He did not have to stand on anything to do the ceiling.  For those of you who have been to our home, here is a glimpse of what is to come.
You can't quite tell the colors very well.  But that is a cream color on the ceiling and a green on the walls.  See the great texture.  If you remember our walls were a boring white and the baseboard were an ugly brown.  We also had icky carpet and uncovered hardwood floors.
I have also been making a card for a "shoebox swap".  Not traditional colors for Christmas, but I think it turned out ok.  It is all CTMH product.
