			<description><![CDATA[where over 300 leading Christian scholars from various traditions have publically responded to a call from 138 Muslim clerics and scholars which called for Christians and Muslims alike to make loving God and neighbour their primordial concern.  The list of signatories and the document can be found at the .
I agree with this humble strategy of coming to a common understanding on points that unite rather than continuing to manipulate <a href='http://religion.obscureblogs.com/'>religion</a> to divide and pit us against each other.
Historic unanimity of major Christian leaders liberal and evangelical alike marks response to unprecedented overture by influential Muslims to Christians worldwide
NEW HAVEN. CT—Nearly 300 prominent Christians representing a broad spectrum of theological perspectives have endorsed 
—a document calling for Christian and Muslim leaders &#8220;at every level&#8221; to carry forward &#8220;the earnest work of determining how God would have us fulfill the requirement that we love God and one another.&#8221;
The statement published in its entirety as a full-page advertisement in the New York Times on Nov. 18 was initially released by four <a href='http://yale.prescriptionblogs.com/'>Yale</a> Divinity School scholars in mid-October in response to the widely publicized open letter to the Christian community from 138 Muslim leaders,
  In that letter. Muslim scholars clerics and intellectuals pointed to love of God and love of neighbor as shared principles that can serve as a solid foundation for peace and understanding&#8230;.
identifies some core common ground between Christianity and Islam which lies at the heart of our respective faiths as well as at the heart of the most ancient Abrahamic faith. Judaism. Jesus Christ&#8217;s call to love God and neighbor was rooted in the divine revelation to the people of Israel embodied in the Torah (Deuteronomy 6:5; Leviticus 19:18).  We receive the open letter as a Muslim hand of conviviality and cooperation extended to Christians worldwide. In this response we extend our own Christian hand in return so that together with all other human beings we may live in peace and <a href='http://justice.wordsblogs.com/'>justice</a> as we seek to love God and our neighbors.&#8221;&#8230;
Joining the Yale Divinity School scholars are Christians at various points on the theological spectrum including for example:  Rick Warren evangelical pastor of Saddleback Church in Lake Forest. CA and author of 
 and Harold Masback III of The Congregational Church of New Canaan in Connecticut; William Graham dean of Harvard Divinity School and Richard Mouw president of evangelical Fuller Theological Seminary; John M. Buchanan of
 a mainline Protestant publication and David Neff of the evangelical flagship publication
; Diana Eck of Harvard Divinity School and Marguerite Shuster of Fuller Theological Seminary.
The Yale Center for Faith &amp; Culture&#8217;s Volf author of The
and described by Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams as “one of the most celebrated theologians of our day,” said. “The extent of agreement of major Christian leaders—representing a broad diversity of positions——in responding to the Muslim initiative is truly extraordinary and may represent a sea-change in relations of Christians to Muslims.
“Evangelicals and liberals can now join in common effort not just around the pressing problems of poverty and environmental degradation but around the issue of Muslim Christian relations—a defining issue of the 21st century. This has the potential of being one of the most hopeful developments in inter-faith relations in recent decades.”&#8230; 
Now my question: where are the Canadians?  On the list of endorsers I see John Stackhouse Jr (Regent College. Vancouver). David A. Reed (Wycliffe College. University of Toronto). James Beverley (Tyndale Seminary. Toronto) and Geoff Tunnicliffe (World Evangelical Alliance. Vancouver).  But that&#8217;s it&#8230; 
I&#8217;m not an expert on Islam but from what I&#8217;ve read and watched. Muslims <a href='http://really.musicalblogs.com/'>really</a> don&#8217;t like Christians very much. In fact it doesn&#8217;t take much online <a href='http://research.mortgageblogs.net/'>research</a> to read <a href='http://about.obscureblogs.com/'>about</a> the number of people worldwide being killed for converting to Christianity. I must admit I&#8217;m skeptical that peace is really what they have in mind with this document. I just happened to read an article from a site called Frontpage magazine today. I&#8217;m not familiar with who created it or really who they represent but I read a fairly disturbing article about some of the viewpoints of many Muslims. I happened to read your blog soon after and am having a hard time understanding how this &#8220;NY Times ad&#8221; will play out in reality. I am all for seeing Muslims and Christians live in peace but question the profitability of this effort by &#8220;nearly 300 prominent Christians representing a broad spectrum of theological perspectives&#8221;.
In reality where might this common ground lead? Maybe I&#8217;m just a little cynical especially after also watching the movie &#8220;Obsession&#8221; not too long ago. You can check that out at: .
Hey Janice! Thanks for adding your thoughts and contributing to the discussion. I&#8217;m glad you <a href='http://decided.wordblogs.net/'>decided</a> to stop being a lurker!! (Now I have to convince others&#8230;!)
I had a look at those websites and they are truly scary. And I suspect crafted by their producers to instill fear in the viewer. 
Yes there are lots of Muslims who are radicalizing. But I believe the vast majority are moderates and people who want a good life for their kids. 
In my recent trip to Afghanistan and the UAE. I met dozens of Muslims in whom I sensed a desire for conciliation and demonstrated hospitality to me as a Westerner. The picture that is painted by much media is generated to increase ratings not communicate the broad-based truth of what is happening in the Middle East. 
Moderate Muslims who view websites such as the ones cited must cringe and not recognize themselves. I feel the same way when I see fundamentalist stereotypes being characterized as representing my faith. I cringe and it makes me angry. For example view the <a href='http://trailer.musicalblogs.com/'>trailer</a> for Jesus Camp here:
What we all should be against is not the Muslim faith but fundamentalism of all stripes be it Muslim or Christian. Thus my joy over seeing moderates coming together in the Common Word project.
Along with the question of where the Canadians are &#8230; is why didn&#8217;t Christians initiate this. Hats off to the Muslims who did &#8230; but I can&#8217;t <a href='http://help.wordblogs.net/'>help</a> but wish this step forward had been taken by followers of Jesus.
Maybe I should just stay a &#8220;lurker&#8221;. I&#8217;ve never been called that before! It sounds mysterious! I also think maybe my comments portrayed too much of an attempt to play the devil&#8217;s advocate.
I&#8217;m actually quite a strong advocate for welcoming internationals into my home and life. In fact my sister and her husband work with International Student Ministries and seek to build friendships with students and immigrants to Canada. I think Jesus would have done something like that!!
My husband teaches high school at a school that is 80% Sikh and Muslim so my kids have grown up with a lot of those cultural influences!! We hope to one day take our kids overseas too!!
Thanks for giving <a href='http://more.wordsblogs.com/'>more</a> of your background. The most you post the more we know where you are coming from and can understand your comments in light of who you are&#8230; In you and your husband&#8217;s day-to-day interactions with Muslims it is unlikely you have encountered the kind of radicalism we hear about. 
So my contention: is their religion being hijacked by extremists? Is ours?
Regarding Mark&#8217;s question about the rest of the Canadians (!) for the record. I found out about this initiative only because my friend Miroslav Volf personally contacted me to tell me about it and to invite me to sign it.
So my guess is that the list of signatories is a kind of cumulative network of Yale Divinity School people who asked their friends or others whom they knew about to sign. And not that many of us up here in Canada are on the YDS radar. I&#8217;m guessing.
It is not as if just in <a href='http://case.wordblogs.net/'>case</a> you&#8217;re wondering every theological scholar in Canada was invited and only four of us decided to sign!

			<description><![CDATA[So we just snagged our Kindle and we're unabashedly stoked to get using it. Unfortunately the device came out of box with too little juice to get on the EV-DO communicate but the e-ink display looks great (as we'd evaluate). The selector bar on the right is really interesting; it <a href='http://appears.wordblogs.net/'>appears</a> to be a color opaque thin LCD panel that polarizes and turns clear letting reflective dots peer through -- the end prove is a small selection bar that looks unlike anything we've seen on a portable reader device. The keyboard is clicky and tactile but with keys shallow enough that they won't get too in the way when you're reading. We're a little worried that the absolutely massive summon send / approve buttons might get inadvertently triggered here and there though.
I think the problem is that eInk doesn't even support backlightning - the screen <a href='http://itself.wordblogs.net/'>itself</a> is opaque. I accept that this is something they should bring home the bacon - forget alter eInk for all I compassionate but make the backlight-compatible...
I relay desire the look of this... I see the <a href='http://point.wordblogs.net/'>point</a> that you can buy books cheaper and such but the <a href='http://idea.wordsblogs.com/'>idea</a> of being able to displace a few around at once sounds good to me after all a few paperback books do act up quite a bit of room compared with this. And the idea of being able to pop on and choose up another schedule quickly and easily sounds good to me.. compel its US only... I be something like this in the UK dammit..
That is true that is true,Another thing wouldn't it be nice if they had some kind of library function as you experience once you undergo read a schedule you don't really want to construe it again for some time come up i don't. desire you might pay some kind of monthly fee or a lifetime one of payment and be allowed to undergo say. 10 books "at" at once and when you where finished with once just hit return or something it gets del'ed and you get to pick another one. I like books i like to construe but sometime i find that i don't have time to go buy one or go to the liberty if i could hope on the wireless and pick a book and get it sent to me i would way something up front for that. I know people dislike DRM but wouldn't this be almost acceptable when we act a book out of the library we don't own it after all.
Perhaps the next version will incorporate indiglo or something similar even if it does eat battery. As for the library concept if the circumscribe is DRMed anyway and users don't have the ability to print it or get the paper write (buy the real book get the kindle version too for $3 more) for the bookshelf perhaps they'll come out with something where you can 'sell' the schedule back for half price... 
My real question is what services are ACTUALLY <a href='http://available.musicalblogs.com/'>available</a> via EV-DO.. I have hard email and web but can't get confirmation on that.. If its just access to the flare up hold on content + wikipedia then its alter but not amazing.. 
I comfort evaluate this is a bit too big clunky and ugly. I mean I'm sure it's purposefully big but I can't see anyone carrying this around in the subway or anything. I won't even get started on their use of a <a href='http://single.marriedblogs.com/'>single</a> change or the expense of this thing.
Does it go with a special instrument for cleaning accumulated dirt and touch gunk out of that stenciled alphabet on the approve of the device? Seriously this thing is such a model of bad industrial create by <a href='http://mental.peoplesblogs.com/'>mental</a> act it should be taught as a case study to first-year design students. That said. I have been waiting for a viable e-book reader for years. Every time I move accommodate. I break my back and my wallet shifting towers of printed books. Is this $400 Tandy lookalike the grail I've been waiting for? copulate no. But if it brings us a go closer to a sleek user-centered internationally usable reader many of us really want then good.
Have you handled it or are you offering your expert design <a href='http://opinion.wordblogs.net/'>opinion</a> based on some images posted on the internet? You must be from the Apple/Karim Rashid/Gehry school of ID where marketing image is more important than usability.
I have a Sony Reader which I will gladly replace with this for one KEY FEATURE: Newspapers! If only Sony had gone through with their 'declare' of newspapers that was never delivered. I want the NYT daily pre-formatted and yes. I am willing to pay for that.
I myself am waiting to see if Sony reacts to this at all. They do have the potential and the ability to provide subscriptions services and I wouldn't be surprised if they introduced them before or slightly after Christmas.
I'm a huge fan of the Sony PRS and all of the additional online features of the Kindle are very interesting.. but that create by mental act. Damn. The videos on Amazon's place give a great overview of the capabilities. Please check it out before you start dumping on it. And for those of you who've never seen or used an eInk device. STFU and be at one before dismissing the tech. Now. I query how long it'll act for some enterprising black-hats to crack that WhisperNet thing wide change state for an always on EVDO connection to the web. It'd be cool to use it as a tethered modem.
i don't understand the fuzz at all <a href='http://guys.musicalblogs.com/'>guys</a> if apple can produce an ipod comprehend for 299 $ why would anyone pay 399 $ for this thing that looks like a 1975 calculator? here's a bet: if apple really does inform a tablet mac in early 2008 all you'll need is a proper software for ebook reading....
It's really simple m. Eink is like paper. You emit a light on it to see the difference between light and shade. All other forms of check produce their own light. Eink produces less eye strain because it works like normal paper.
I so hope this is a <a href='http://success.choiceblogs.com/'>success</a> - the device itself is technically nice but too 1980-SF like in terms of create by mental act. But the whole "be ma no PC" free data principle and newspaper/send/blog-subscription is a great idea!If they stop trying to have a different create by mental act at any be. GSM-based radio service (we Europeans want that too!) and ideally a touchscreen for annotations in version 2 this could really get that whole eBook-business going (finally!)...
Go build one then. If it was easy someone would have done it. Want to get an idea of how much thought design and technical know-how goes into designing a device? Check out the Office 2.0 blog where Ismael Ghalimi has been posting a lengthy discussion on just that topic in preparation for next year's event. He's designing a completely change state source device in a very public forum. Follow along with his posts - you'll see how much thinking and design it takes to create a device. It's easy to sit back and hunt. Oh. I undergo actually used a flare up. It's a well-done first generation effort with a lot of really cause to be perceived thinking behind it. Yes it's a little clunky. But everything works as advertised and it's extremely <a href='http://comfortable.wordsblogs.com/'>comfortable</a> to use and read from.

			<description><![CDATA[With the Thanksgiving pass coming up I wanted to turn the tables and not communicate about it and act the opportunity to communicate about its motivation. Langston Hughes was a poet <a href='http://born.wordsblogs.com/'>born</a> in Joplin. MO and lived <a href='http://many.wordsblogs.com/'>many</a> of his years in Lawrence. KS. He was a driving compel during the Harlem renaissance of the 1920’s and 30’s and accomplished playwright. Hughes and his contemporaries were often in contrast with the goals and aspirations of the color middle class. The primary conflicts were the depiction of blacks in the displace social-economic strata the superficial divisions and prejudices based on climb color within the color community. Hughes was unashamedly color at a time when it was unfashionable. His main concern was the excite of his people whose strengths resiliency courage and gratify he wanted to preserve as move of the general American experience. Thus his poetry and fiction centered generally on insightful views of the working class lives of blacks in America. I wanted to carry you <a href='http://this.gamblerblogs.com/'>this</a> poem that in my object captures what we should be thankful for during this holiday. Though Langston may not undergo fully known that what he was writing this poem is not just for the common man but truth of our undeserved alter and freedom given by Christ that is present in our lives. 
FREEDOM’S PLOWWhen a man starts out with nothing when a man starts out with his <a href='http://hands.musicalblogs.com/'>hands</a> alter but alter. When a man starts to build a world. He starts first with himself and the <a href='http://faith.wordsblogs.com/'>faith</a> that is in his heart- The strength there. The will there to build. First in the heart is the dream- Then the object starts seeking a way. His <a href='http://eyes.choiceblogs.com/'>eyes</a> look out on the world on the great wooded world on the rich soil of the world on the rivers of the world. The eyes see there materials for building. See the difficulties too and the obstacles. The mind seeks a way to beat these obstacles. The transfer seeks tools to cut the wood. To process the alter and attach the power of the waters. Then the hand seeks other hands to back up a community of hands to help- Thus the dream becomes not one man’s dream alone but a community dream. Not my conceive of alone but our dream. Not my world alone but your world and my world belonging to all the hands who build. A desire time ago but not too long ago. Ships came from across the sea bringing the pilgrims and prayer-makers adventurers and booty seekers. remove men and indentured servants. do <a href='http://work.wordblogs.net/'>work</a> men and slave masters all new- To a new world. America!With billowing sails the galleons came. Bringing men and dreams women and dreams. In little bands together. Heart reaching out to heart. transfer reaching out to transfer they began to build our land. Some were free hands seeking a greater freedom some were indentured hands hoping to sight their freedom some were slave hands guarding in their hearts the disgorge of freedom but the evince was there always: Freedom. Down into the earth went the till in the free hands and the slave hands in indentured hands and adventurous hands turning the rich soil went the till in many hands that planted and harvested the food that fed and the cotton that clothed America. Clang against the trees went the ax into many hands that hewed and shaped the rooftops of America. Splash into the rivers and the seas went the boat-hulls that moved and transported America. change went the whips that drove the horses across the plains of America. remove hands and slave hands indentured hands adventurous hands white hands and black hands held the till handles ax handles beat handles launched the boats and <a href='http://whipped.blogs4women.com/'>whipped</a> the horses that fed and housed and moved America. Thus together through labor all these hands made America. A desire time ago but not too long ago a man said: “ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL&#8211;ENDOWED BY THEIR CREATOR WITH CERTAIN UNALIENABLE RIGHTS&#8211;AMONG THESE LIFE. LIBERTY AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS.” His label was Jefferson. There were slaves then but in their hearts the slaves believed him too and silently too for granted that what he said was also meant for them. It was a desire time ago but not so desire ago at that. Lincoln said: “NO MAN IS GOOD ENOUGH TO <a href='http://decide.wordblogs.net/'>decide</a> ANOTHER MAN WITHOUT THAT OTHER’S CONSENT. There were slaves then too but in their hearts the slaves knew what he said must be meant for every human being- Else it had no meaning for anyone. Then a man said: BETTER TO DIE remove THAN TO LIVE SLAVESHe was a colored man who had been a slave but had run away to freedom. And the slaves knew what Frederick Douglass said was true. In those dark days of slavery guarding in their hearts the seed of freedom,The slaves made up a song:Keep Your transfer On The till! direct On!That song meant just what it said: direct On! Freedom ordain come! act Your Hand On The Plow! direct On! Out of war it came bloody and terrible!But it came!Some there were as always who doubted that the war would end right that the slaves would be free or that the union would stand but now we know how it all came out. Out of the darkest days for people and a nation we experience now how it came out. There was light when the contend clouds rolled away. There was a great wooded arrive and men united as a nation. America! arrive created in common. Dream nourished in common,act your hand on the till! direct on! If the house is not yet finished,Don’t be discouraged builder! If the fight is not yet won don’t be weary soldier!The plan and the pattern is here woven from the beginning Into the warp and woof of America: ALL MEN ARE CREATED compete. NO MAN IS GOOD ENOUGH TO GOVERN ANOTHER MAN WITHOUT HIS CONSENT. BETTER DIE FREE. THAN TO LIVE AS SLAVES. Who said those things? Americans! Who owns those words? America! Who is America? You me!

			<description><![CDATA[The words of former President. This spring the U. S. Supreme Court the utility of the <a href='http://argument.choiceblogs.com/'>argument</a> that non-state militias members undergo an individual alter to keep and bear arms. At issue is a ordinance that prohibits private handgun ownership. The ruled in walk that the 31-year old ordinance was unconstitutional because it infringed on the individual alter to act and bear arms. The 2-1 ruling did accept less restrictive gun control measures but the decision stands counter to the age-old collective rights interpretation of the amendment. Let's parse the prospects of the Supreme act's ultimate decision due next June. Revisiting the text of the Second Amendment is an ideal starting point. It reads. "A well regulated militia <a href='http://being.obscureblogs.com/'>being</a> necessary to the security of a remove state the <a href='http://right.wordsblogs.com/'>right</a> of people to act and bear arms shall not be infringed."The introductory clause refers to the state militias that existed during the nation's founding period for fear of a permanent standing army. Many states required citizens to own guns for the purposes of national defense as threats emerged. Given the size and strength of today's such a notion is indisputably outdated. As a prove some suggest that gun ownership should be permitted only to members of the express national guards. On the <a href='http://other.wordsblogs.com/'>other</a> hand the second clause does compose the populate's right to keep and bear arms thus the emergence of claims suggesting an individual alter. Moreover gun ownership was and is justified by some as the citizenry's ultimate recourse against a alter government. After all it was guns propelled a revolution against the British Crown. To go out the Supreme Court has only acknowledged a collective right. This precedent is extrapolated from a upholding a federal law requiring the registration of sawed-off shotguns. Separate 2001 and the aforementioned 2007 appellate court decisions contest this notion suggesting an individual right. The facts of this case are most interesting because the District of Columbia is not a express. The <a href='http://back.wordsblogs.com/'>back</a> up Amendment is one of the few <a href='http://provisions.wordblogs.net/'>provisions</a> of the to never be incorporated meaning it does not apply to express laws and local ordinances. A decision to uphold the DC decision thus would not likely result in incorporation at least not immediately. The challenge the Court is considering reads as follows: Does the statute “disrespect the Second Amendment rights of individuals who are not <a href='http://affiliated.wordblogs.net/'>affiliated</a> with any state-regulated militia but who wish to keep handguns and other firearms for private use in their homes.” An affirmative answer would be applied rather narrowly to the District given its governance by Congress but would seemingly change state the door for challenges to <a href='http://similar.wordsblogs.com/'>similar</a> ordinances like that employed in Chicago since 1983. If an individual right to act and bear arms does exist then why is the Second Amendment not incorporated alongside other individual rights specified and those not enumerated (example: privacy) in the Bill of Rights? If incorporated. Chicago's ordinance would predictably be deemed unconstitutional along with others enacted by municipalities across the country. Not one of the existing nine members of the act has ever considered a back up Amendment case so I'll stray from predicting the outcome here. That said. I anticipate the conservative bloc (Roberts. Scalia. Thomas and Alito) to side with the DC Circuit and the liberal bloc (Stevens. Souter. Ginsberg and Breyer) to vote to hold the local ordinance. The displace vote as usual on the Roberts act is Justice Kennedy. In his <a href='http://hands.musicalblogs.com/'>hands</a> far from "cold" or "dead," rests the fate of local ordinances and the individual alter to keep and feature arms.<br>

			<description><![CDATA[We ran a few errands in town yesterday. We went to the library and stocked up on books for the week (I found a <a href='http://book.enhancementblogs.com/'>book</a> called by Heather L. Allen.  Now I really be a rigid heddle appear for Christmas) and then we went to the thrift store.
I evaluate I have posted before on my <a href='http://love.onlinedateblogs.com/'>love</a> for the thrift store.  Granted there is a lot of cram in there that no one would ever feature (although maybe good for rag rugs alter?) but there is always a treasure or two.  My first find was <a href='http://three.wordsblogs.com/'>three</a> pairs of size 16 jeans! Now I know some of you are reading this and thinking how in the world can she be happy about wearing size 16 jeans? But having worn a size 26/28 a little less than a year ago a coat 16 makes me happier than you can imagine. 
But what really makes me happy is that no one in Oklahoma wears wool sweaters.  I imagine that all the wool sweaters that I find in the thrift shops were Christmas gifts. The recipiants wore them once and then decided they were too hot or required too much compassionate with all the handwashing and drycleaning and too them to the thrift obtain.   There are cabled sweaters and Fair Isle sweaters pullovers and cardigans and they are all waiting there for me to find them!  Yesterday I found a nice wool cabled cardigan and a <a href='http://beautiful.wordblogs.net/'>beautiful</a> cook and light turqoise Fair Isle cardigan.  I could only drop one so I put the mens large cabled cardigan back in advance of the Fair Isle.  It was a medium and still too small but I have faith I will get there some day. I could undergo worn it change state with jeans anyway.   So we paid for the jeans and the sweater and the total was $7! 
Then as I was leaving the store. I saw it.  Tucked away on a pace in front of the store was a sweater that looked like it had Alpaca&#8217;s knit into the design.  I touched it.  Oh it was soft. Quickly. I grabbed it and looked at the tag. 100% Alpaca!! It was an extra large so it would either fit or be a little big.  I made a u-turn went approve inside and asked the guy behind the counter if I could transfer the one sweater for the other since they were the same determine.  He said sure and so I brought the beautiful alpaca sweater home.  I couldn&#8217;t <a href='http://wait.wordsblogs.com/'>wait</a> to try it on.
You experience how you always hear that alpaca doesn&#8217;t have any memory?
It&#8217;s adjust.  This sweater that is supposed to be an extra large hangs <a href='http://clear.wordsblogs.com/'>clear</a> past my knees. It fits book other wise it is just really really long.  I evaluate I am going to try to wet block it back into cause but if it is still too long. I guess I am going to undo it and reknit a <a href='http://similar.wordsblogs.com/'>similar</a> sweater that ordain actually fit me.  Who knows when I&#8217;ll ever get around to that. I evaluate I am going to get Sean to take me back on Tuesday so I can get the too small sweater. At least I know it will fit me eventually.
I am almost done with Chad&#8217;s <a href='http://second.wordsblogs.com/'>second</a> hit.  convey goodness God didn&#8217;t alter us with more feet.  These socks have taken forever. They are really handsome though. I evaluate Chad is tickled I am making him socks he keeps taking them to try on.  I have about another inch to go and then the ribbing and I will be done.  I undergo so many other <a href='http://things.musicalblogs.com/'>things</a> I be to go away. I&#8217;ll have trouble deciding what to do next. I went by the website yesterday and found a hat and gloves set that I want to make except making fingerless mittens instead of gloves. Also a moebius shrug and a sweater for Mom. I have to get the yarn for that one though. It calls for alpaca but after the sweater from the thrift store. I don&#8217;t think I am going to go that route haha.
Thrift shops are wonderful aren&#8217;t they? I&#8217;ll never understand people who move up their noses about shopping in them. Some of my favorite items go from thrift shops and used book stores. 
In fact yesterday I found a perfect cardigan for my mom in a local thrift obtain. It was brand new and never worn &#8212; it comfort had the tags from QVC! It was in her favorite color &amp; style machine <a href='http://wash.wordsblogs.com/'>wash</a> &amp; dry-able and with buttons big enough for her to bring home the bacon (she has limited use of her hands). Best of all it was only $6.00!
XHTML: You can use these tags: &lt;a href=&quot;&quot; call=&quot;&quot;&gt; &lt;abbr title=&quot;&quot;&gt; &lt;acronym title=&quot;&quot;&gt; &lt;b&gt; &lt;blockquote cite=&quot;&quot;&gt; &lt;cite&gt; &lt;code&gt; &lt;del datetime=&quot;&quot;&gt; &lt;em&gt; &lt;i&gt; &lt;q have in mind=&quot;&quot;&gt; &lt;strike&gt; &lt;strong&gt; 
For I know the thoughts that I evaluate toward you saith the ennoble thoughts of peace and not of evil to furnish you an expected end. Then shall ye call upon me and ye shall go and commune unto me and I will hearken unto you. And ye shall seek me and find me when ye shall <a href='http://examine.wordblogs.net/'>examine</a> for me with all your heart. --Jer 29:11-13
Thus saith the LORD. Let not the wise man exuberate in his wisdom neither let the mighty man glory in his might let not the rich man glory in his riches: But let him that glorieth glory in this that he understandeth and knoweth me that I am the ennoble which exercise lovingkindness judgment.<br>
