...knitting my first pair of "real" socks...
and reading Story of the World II by Susan Wise Bauer.
Joy of joys. We read about Ghengis Khan, his grandson, Kublai Khan, and their Mongol hordes this morning. I think those guys could have benefited from a hot bath, a good book, and a good hobby...maybe knitting? I can smile now; but, those guys killed their way from the China coast to the Islamic lands. You joined them or were killed. Not much of a choice. I asked my kids if they thought they'd be strong enough to stand if it were Christians that were being killed. They didn't know. I don't think I would be strong enough. But I know that Christ in me would be. Thank God that we don't have to live or die in our own power.
Holy Spirit power is available to all those who believe on the Name of Jesus Christ and are saved.

I love the socks that you're making, Laura! They look very nice and you're doing a good job with them. I also loved your posting about the Khans and Mongols...especially the part about the knitting! Cute! Have a wonderful evening!
