OK I got the paper piecing & Title done - next up is to figure out how I want the page set up - the white gel pen really helped the paper piecing
I need to dry the clothes that James packed (he is still trying to pack for Disney - not going until next year but he just won't listen to that) anyways last night I took all of the clothes he had pack & put them in the washer - he is still mad about it
I did leave the Disney buttons, water shoes and rain ponchos in the suitcase for him

Eric decided to stay at school which I'm glad he did but selfishly would have loved having him all to me today.

errands are done and potatoes are cooking need to through the meatballs and mini dogs in the crockpots and finish the mac salad then other than finishing up the beans tonight I'm done cooking.

The day went very well- the only crazy thing was a 45 minute discussion over a resolution (which mean we are not bound to it) that says a task for on creation care should encourage churches to practice creation care. I didn't understand what all the fuss was about. I mean I thought it was perfectly reasonable but some people were upset by the wording of the reasons for practicing creation care- I guess I am just not that into politics especially in the church.

I hate church politics
what is creation care?? never heard that term
I"m Baptist is that makes a differents - pm me if you want since we aren't suppose to talk about politics or churches here (seems to help keep the peace since that is 2 things that set people off - if they could just add boys in the women's bathroom, line cutting & tour groups to the list things would be very peaceful)

I don't think that explaining creation care should be a problem. In the Methodist Church the official term for environmentalism or going green is creation care (caring for God's creation). The Methodist Church has a democratic system- everyone is elected to higher positions and boards or councils and we use a representative body to make church decisions (we have been having our annual decision meeting over the last few days for the Florida Annual Conference of the church).

Basically there were a list of about 10 reasons why the group felt we should practice creation care and some people didn't think we needed that many and only wanted to have about 4 reasons why we should practice it. The leader of the task force was fine with deleting some of the reasons why as He was concerned about the outcome- that we do some creation care- rather than the reasoning behind why.
