'Handmade for Life' Basket Raffle...

I have been getting a tremendous response from pro-lifers in the handmade community who want to contribute to my local pregnancy center fundraiser. I sent out an appeal for handcrafted items to be included in a basket to be raffled off...And I have not been disappointed! I am eager for the collection to come together so that I can share photos and information about these generous artists!

Music for Life....

Thanking God for those who have been inspired to use their art to defend a culture of Life! Beautiful.

Beginnings...

This blog began as a little nudge in the back of my soul that told me I wasn't doing enough to speak up for the unborn. When President Obama took office and immediately began implementing the anti-life policies that he promised he would, that nudge became an uncomfortable pinch...And then a shove...And then a shout!

It is my hope to use this medium as a way to build up a culture of Life using the gifts that God has given us in the work of our hands. 'Handmade' has an overlooked and underestimated value in the building up of a healthy culture. It is perhaps somewhat similar to the way that life has become a throwaway commodity. We use and toss...

But the work of our own hands has value that can't be purchased at a big box store. How much more value has the work of the hands of the Creator of Life itself?

I pray that the direction this simple work goes will be directed by His hand. I dedicate it to the Divine Artist. Let us begin!
