That is such a great idea. I've been on the lookout for a couple of months for inexpensive, easy-to-use digital cameras for our kids, because I think it is such a great thing to have access to the photography experience when you're young, and with digital it's essentially free. Which makes it much easier and quicker to learn to do it well, too.

Rachel, I've been letting them use my FujiFilm Finepix and I'm surprised how fast my five year old figured out the zoom, the flash, and how to switch from still to video and back again!

I just love looking at her perspective. She took a bunch today that I'm going to post and try to keep down to just my very favorites (she took 98 pictures!) ;o)

That's a good idea but The Nikon is just still too new. I'd hate to resent one of them for having destroyed my beautiful new camera, you know? :)

Why we allow God to plan our family size.

In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.” Proverbs 3:5, 6 Sometimes people ask me what scripture we base our family size on. I think they expect me to quote verses like "Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the womb a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one’s youth. Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them! He shall not be put to shame when he speaks with his enemies in the gate.” - Psalm 127:3-5 Or to quote all the "Be fruitful and multiply" verses. Or they expect me to recant how, throughout the Bible, God considers children a blessing to be desired (in the stories of Abraham & Sarah... of Isaac & Rebecca... of Rachel & Leah... of Hannah) But for us it was not only what we found in scripture, but in looking at God'

What do you do...

What if you long for something, but you have a spiritual conviction not to pursue that something... but you see other Christians pursuing it and validating their reasons.... and you feel your reasons look foolish to them, and you feel foolish for standing in what you believe to be true... yet you know you still cannot pursue it, because you have no doubt it is wrong? How does anyone make a stand anymore in this world? There are compromises right and left and people rushing to validate their reasons, and ready to shout "don't you dare judge me!" When I'm not judging, just stating my own stand. If they feel hurt... "socked in the stomach"... isn't it perhaps because the Spirit is convicting them? If there is no truth to my stance, why should it phase them? We are usually hurt most by the truth, when we are not standing in it, but our spirit knows we should be. If someone says "your daughter is a brat" and you know she is not, it doesn'
