Not Smoke and Bones: Giveaway

Mission Statement

In classical sacrifices, the people get the good bits, and the gods get the refuse, the bits that would get thrown out otherwise.

Not our God. Leviticus (particularly Leviticus 3) describes the sacrifices that our LORD demanded from His people of Israel. God gets the kidneys, the tail, and all the fat. He gets the prime steak, He gets the best.

Today we do not literally give sacrifices of animals. For us the ultimate sacrifice has been made through our Lord, Christ Jesus. But should always be our ambition to do the same thing - to offer God the best of what we have, to offer Him the fat, and not the smoke and bones.

Giveaway

For those of you who are interested (as in, you have access to girls who love dolls who need presents - and if you don't have any little girls who you could give these beautiful dolls blankets to, then you really should get out more. Make friends. Friends with little girls who should really have some beautiful dolls blankets), two of Karin's daughters are making dolls blankets and pillows to help fund heart surgery for baby Boy. The blanket sets are $11, but as each set is triple matched by husband Jeff's employer, each set MAKES $44. Which is pretty awesome. They are aiming to raise $5000.

There is also a competition, so you can even get one for FREE. Just by raising the word.

It's really encouraging to see what two small girls can do to help others! Hop on over and place an order!

...it is not an extraordinary spiritualitythat makes one refuse to do ordinary work, but a wish to prove that one is not ordinary - which is a dead giveaway of spiritual conceit.
