Knitting in the Lord's Army

Hello, Blogger Friends.

<-- Here is a picture of me with my second-to-lastest knitting project: a boys scarf. That went good, and now I am onto a matching beanie. I am thinking about putting the word out there to people asking if they have any wool they don't need and want to donate to the cause of getting knitted up into something warm to be given to a child with Operation: Cover-Up .
  Doing knitting for the Operation has been pretty rewarding, and I recommend that if you live in Australia to get in touch with Operation Cover Up people and get knitting, or there are lots of other projects that help people. I think sometimes we can become so caught up in our little worlds that we forget we have thousands of brothers and sisters in the Lord suffering for being a Christian, and that there are thousands of children whose parents have died or abandoned them, so many families struggling to get by, and that is just the tip of the iceberg.
 I think I have said it before, and I will say it again: ask God what He wants you to be doing to change the world. One thing I can tell you needs to be done first: spending alone time with God each day to get on track and make sure you are doing what He wants you to be doing. It is so easy to go off on our own tangents and get down the track to realize we have wasted weeks, months, or even years on things that don't matter. Making time for God each day is not easy, but it is a requirement for being a Christian. We are part of the Lord's Army, and we can't afford to be sleeping while the fight is raging on.
