This is written by me a women who has had "anger" issues in the past, have relatives who have their issues with sin (alcohol, strip clubs and the like) but have found hope and healing in Christ alone.
The resounding answer is YES! If you look at the situation like sin is the snake that comes to eat your pickles in the garden this will help you see the perspective from the eyes of Christ. And sin was in the nature of Adam Lanza who came to "eat" the children of the school in CT.
1. The first problem in the situation is that the mother and father of the child had a serious sin problem as evidenced by divorce. If you are reading this blog and you are in marriage trouble please please please seek to resolve your own personal character so that your children don't choose evil over good.
Here are a couple of websites to help you fix your and your child's character problems:
http://www.characterjournal.com/
fascinating womanhood (a guide for women to fix marriage problems)
http://www.charityministries.org/ Listen to the tapes. One a day or so.
Making brothers and sisters best friends.
2. The second problem in the situation is that the heart of the child was not cleaned up as evidenced by the paraphernalia found within the home. Weaponry and love of violence were clearly evidenced in the home of the mother who raised the child. A good book to read on how to clean up and keep the heart of the child in love with being good rather than evil is the book:
http://www.titus2.com/keeping-our-childrens-hearts.html
This is a wonderful book and a wonderful family who understands the importance of proper good social skills with those in wheelchairs and with grey heads. Notice that the book states that keeping our children's hearts is our VITAL priority.
3. Proper psychology was not administered. Yes I have worked with children who have or have had Asperger's syndrome. They are beautifully intelligent children. A good book from a general "look" on psychology is written by Gordon Thomas entitled "parent effectiveness training." Complete honesty and win win with children rather than authoritative or neglectful attitudes can change the behavior of children quite well.
4. Reading the bible to the child!!! Had the mother read the words of Christ to the child from an old fashioned KJV bible EVERY DAY that child would have had the mind to want to LOVE God and not evil.
5. Administering positive free time entertainment activities that perhaps showed the child how to use electronics and technology in a positive light. Have the child "video tape" momma washing the dishes and then doing some gardening as the mother was fond of doing. Both positive activities. Have the child write why he LOVES to watch momma do those things!!
6. Make sure the child is set free from his or her sin. www.settingcaptivesfree.com has a resource for those whose child may be on the verge of mental collapse.
7. Gardening the mind of the child in a KJV bible home school base. The mother chose to home school AFTER problems with the public school system, but secular knowledge doesn't show the child what sin nature actually is and looks like. Knowledge of the ways of God as well as giving the child additional chores to keep busy and resourceful each and every day. Faith and works produce good fruit. We are not apes we are humans. IF you are reading this you are a person who was not "aborted" by your mother. Teaching children the words of socrates and plato is NOT the same as teaching your children the words of Christ.
8. Spanking immunization. If a child is spanked no differently than giving the child a shot at the immunization clinic under the age of three, issues like this will surely be prevented. A child that understands what pain feels like is less likely to want to give others pain and grief in life. We as a society must learn how to properly spank again or more of these problems WILL show up. How to do it: spank self first three times to ensure proper level of pain, then when child "touches" or "eats" something foolishly, administer spank. More can be found here : http://www.nogreaterjoy.org/ (the ministry has a so so reputation so keep that in mind) KEep in mind that these methods are DOCTORS orders so the risks and benefits are up to the patients at hand.
9. MOVE AWAY from bad influences. Too much alcohol, too many drugs, too many weapons etc. MOVE MOVE MOVE!!! And DON'T call back.
10. Public schools are full of bullys. They were in the days of Laura Ingalls Wilder and teachers were KILLED by bullies in the small public school houses even in those days.....and they will continue to be that way unless PARENTS show who is boss in this world God first, poppa second, momma third, child has apprentice opportunity under their guide.
Those are just a few examples of how the CT situation could have been prevented. I hope that more parents choose to raise children in the eyes of Godly ways. It is HARD WORK!!! But it MUST be done to prevent more problems like this in God's garden of people.
For further information on this subject I encourage you to also read the articles written by ladies against faminism

Parenting advice: Get Psychology right according to biblical rules
Modern Psychology may seem like the best route to go, but in fact it is only a repetition of what has already been written. If you write an outline of a modern day parenting book like PARENT EFFECTIVENESS TRAINING by Thomas Gordon, you will find that the same advice can be applied to many verses in proverbs. I thoroughly enjoy the book as it points out how parents use their words to either help the child grow or shrink. Effective parents allow their child to think-through the problems they face and come up with the correct solution to their behavior issue.
In summary the book outlined the following points which are expressively written in the book of proverbs thousands of years before. Of course my conclusions on the similarity of ideas is only a quick summary and not fully explained, so you the reader may have to take the time to investigate why I applied the verse to the specific principle. A reminder to Christians is that Psychology and Sociology are not solutions to the problems we face in our world, they are only platforms of observation. We need Christ to fill in ALL our areas of weakness and defeat that we face everyday in life. We as parents can do our best to point our children in that direction, but we cannot nor ever will be able to think for our children. We damage their spiritual growth if we take on all control of their ability to think for themselves with the aide of Christ as guide.

same proverb as above.
********************************************************
Of course there are more ways to express how all books on psychology are wrapped up in the book of proverbs and some in Ecclesiastes. But we can't forget these famous parenting proverbs. Natural accidents and failures have a tendency to be a proper rod of correction for the child. Allowing the child to fall off of a chair because it wasn't sturdy will teach the child to be careful and ask for help next time.
Pro_13:24 He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.
Pro_22:15 Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.
Pro_23:13 Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die.
Pro_23:14 Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell.
Pro_29:15 The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame.
.
Proper use of rod to avoid abuse and give correct distiction of bad behavior.
-Spank self three to ten times and look at markings on own skin to determine proper level of pain that should be administered. Should be no more than a stinging shot from the immunization clinic.
-Withhold all anger before approaching the child.
-Ensure that the first way to correct behavior is to have the child pick up the mess he made first. If he has done this, the use of the rod may not be necessary.
In all these cases, a properly trained child will have the ability to correct younger siblings and take responsibility for them. If you see that happening, the parenting is effective and the child is growing to maturity in his or her actions.
In summary the book outlined the following points which are expressively written in the book of proverbs thousands of years before.

TIME MANAGEMENT: How to avoid idle time.
Time Management
-riseth while it is yet night
-her candle goeth not out by night
-looketh well to the ways of her household
-eateth not the bread of idleness
-riseth while it is yet night
-her candle goeth not out by night
-looketh well to the ways of her household
-eateth not the bread of idleness
this is a proverb's 31 series post
Do you have an issue with finding your self in "idle" time only later to discover that you have forgotten to do so many things! Oh do I ever find my self in that position, and it ANNOYS me a lot. In fact sitting in idle time is like letting the old devil come in an create monsters in my imagination and heart so that I grumble and complain about all the problems in life.......and THAT is NOT what God wants from his people AT ALL.
Read the few verses below to see what I mean.
And withal they learn to be idle, wandering about from house to house; and not only idle, but tattlers also and busybodies, speaking things which they ought not. I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully. For some are already turned aside after Satan.
(1Ti 5:13-15)
Do you know a woman who spends her idle time wandering about setting up trouble?? Are you that woman?? If you are, you must stop, before trouble brews to the brim in your own home and in society. We can see the effects of this in our communities as people do not "trust" their neighbors like they did 100 years ago before world war 1 and world war 2 and all the other various wars of the past century. Not only that, but the lingering effects of men and woman who have turned to violent behaviors and shooting to resolve their own problems of a defiled mind (Aurora movie theater incident for example)
Of course there are times where I love to just stare up at the leaves blowing in the breeze while time floats by, but when I am sitting and complaining about something in my life that is not going right, I am setting myself up for trouble.
So what do we do to AVOID idle time????
1. Make sure you have a walking talking relationship with Christ.
2. Recognize that the nature of humanity is bent on choosing "evil" and destruction of other human beings in their imagination from the get-go. Cut those imaginations off in your mind and fill-them with ideas for love and blessing of others instead.
3. Use the bible to create GODLY ideas and prayers for your future and your children's future and your children's children's future. (example: read the book of proverbs and try to meet UP TO the standards laid out in front)
4. Submit to your husband. He will have ideas for things you can do and things to "fetch" Work for your husband with a smile and you will be the most happy employee on the block.
5. Plan ahead. To-Do lists with lots of things to do to grow happiness and grace in your family will do wonders. Plan a reading times and craft times, special recipe times as a family etc.
6. Learn and do many new skills. Have a knitting project handy when your children want to go to the park. Try caligraphy, fishing and more.
7. AVOID all websites and people that stir up anger in your spirit. Cut-them off completely. If it feels like you are only around your husband and children and maybe a neighbor or two.....that is OK. If we have a relationship with Christ, we are fine. We don't need to worry and "know" everyone in our community of 300. God knows them, so that is in God's control.
8. TRUST that God's word is true when he says he will provide food for you as he provides for the lilly of the valley......
9. Pick up ideas from books like
Link to buy book is found here.
Read the few verses below to see what I mean.
And withal they learn to be idle, wandering about from house to house; and not only idle, but tattlers also and busybodies, speaking things which they ought not.

8. TRUST that God's word is true when he says he will provide food for you as he provides for the lilly of the valley......
9. Pick up ideas from books like
10. Keep a notebook by your side. If you wear clothing without pockets, were an apron with pockets and keep notebook and pen handy to write down ideas and activities at all times and in all places.
11. Practice and study various ways to keep your life frugal. Creativity keeps you out of the dwelling place of feeling you "need" money instead of being content with what is available right before your eyes.
12. Study the lifestyles of those who lived before the invention of electrical appliances. They kept busy in so many alternative ways than we could even imagine.
13. Set up exciting goals for your self and family the "[verb] [number] [what] per [time frame] by the [end time]" method of creating goals. For example using the formula above a few goals may be "[memorize] [8 lines] [psalms] per [week] by the [end of 2012]" or another may be "[paint] [1 8 X 12] [painting] per [week] by the [end of 2014]" or another may be "[try] [one] [new recipe] per [week] by the [end of one year]"
Create that fun and exciting goal calendar and see what happens ;)
Those are a few ideas, I hope they help!

"This book is more than you think. It is more than a 'check list' of what a man must be. It is more than a 'how to find a suitable husband' for yourself or your daughter.
This book inspires me to be a better parent, to be more diligent in training both my sons and my daughters, and will inspire men to be better men, better husbands, better fathers. And that is not what I anticipated."

Unless you live in the 1930's or live in a 3rd world country with little access to food you will notice that we live in a country that sells GMO's. A lot of our food supply is provided through GMO crops. In fact, much of the products you eat on a regular basis is taken from GMO products. However, there is a difference between hybridization and the process of GMO. Much of the GMO products are that way because the farmers "need" the genetic changes to add chemicals like herbicide, fungicide or other preventative chemicals to the fields. Unless you live entirely in the city, it is likely that you may have heard the term "round-up ready" soybeans or other terms of that nature.
In hybridization, the genetics of the crop are not changed. Its kind of like putting a crop of extra-sweet sweet corn right next to a crop of semi-sweet sweet corn and ending up with a crop of extra-semi sweet sweet corn with a variation of colorful kernels in the sweet corn. The process of change was entirely NATURAL in nature and not influenced by human endeavor. Hybridization has been going on for centuries. I am sure many gardeners are familiar with the term "hybrid tomatoes"
On the other hand GMO products are a dangerous product that infects not only human health but animal health as well. The process of change in the plant is done by MAN-MADE means and more specifically God himself, the creator of the universe, knew that this process was wrong and specifically forbid such practices in his law in Deuteronomy 22:9. Both Christians and non-Christians have caught up to the fact that GMO's are inherently dangerous and are not good for consumption. In fact children with variant forms of autism have been healed simply because they stop eating GMO food products.
Here are a few articles about the tested effects off GMO food products.

http://www.motherearthnews.com/search.aspx?search=GMO
So what may a person do to prevent eating or consuming GMO products?
1. READ labels carefully when going to the grocery store. You may even call the company your self if you are curious.
2. STOP buying products that you KNOW are produced by GMO additives either directly or indirectly. (indirectly would be a cow that consumed round-up ready soybeans)
3. Buy all-natural and organic products in bulk. If you need to save enough money to buy more organic or non-GMO products, then cut out on other costs like costs for cable, netflix or other unnecessary forms of entertainment.
4. PLAN ahead. Write menu's that specifically include non-GMO products.
5. Plant seeds at home in your garden that are not GMO seeds and start producing your own garden and further seeds for more generations. www.seedsavers.com is a great place to start.
All-in-all as Christians we are NOT GUILTY if we consume a GMO product especially if we do so UNKNOWINGLY. For example, your mother invites you over for a potluck and other family will be there and they will-fully bring GMO products to the table because they believe it is the best there is while you are witnessing or showing them proper Christian behavior. Christians are also NOT GUILTY if they are NOT in a financial means to receive or provide organic, non-GMO products or grow those products themselves.
However, a Christian who claims Christ as savior and yet grows GMO products IS guilty, especially if they KNOW the verse Deut. 22:9. They are guilty if they willfully promote the SALE of GMO products and they KNOW the law of God.
God's laws are designed to protect not only people and society as a whole, but ALSO to protect the environment in which food is grown. If that were not so, humans could have the potential to destroy not only social function but ALSO the environment in which animals and people live as well.
I hope this articles helps you understand not only how God LOVES the earth he created, but he also LOVES the people he created too ;)

This is a Proverb's 31 series
In order to make our homes better, more efficient and thought filled according to God's word, we need to make sure our lives are centered upon establishing Godly character. Even though we are weak in the flesh, God can and will give us enough strength to help us establish Godly character in the home. Most homes and even churches in the United States are not filled with Godly men and women of good character, this is largely in part due to the many "_____isms" and cults that surround us and the lack of knowledge of God's word. God changes not, he still expects us to be good and to use wise judgment in regards to our behaviors and actions. In fact, our character is molded and improved when we face trials, sufferings and false accusations in this life, and that is in and of itself, something to be thankful for. If we are falsely accused in this life we can and should be exceedingly thankful because our crown will be given unto us in heaven above. I would encourage those of you who home school to consider a portion of each week devoted to training and teaching your children about how to have godly character. Devote your time to ensuring that the children pay attention while you read the portions below. In fact, when you go about your daily routine and correct your children in a godly sort of way with kind and gentle wording, so that they will learn how to have better character.
If your home is filled with Godly people, your home will be a happy home indeed. Possessions are a minor necessity compared to a home with godly care-filled people. A home of godly people is a home of great riches.

This is a Proverb's 31 category
God's cure for the Israelites who whined in that day was to "look" at the serpent on the pole to get cured from their snake bites so that they would not die.
As you can see in the verses below, Christ (the son of man), IS the serpent in the wilderness:
Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things? Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness. If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things? And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
(Joh 3:10-21)
If you are skilled in mathematics you will find that the pharmaceutical remedy of depression meds actually does more harm than good. Statistically, the death rate of those on depression meds is much higher than those who are not. on depression meds.
So what are the steps to overcome depression??
1. Make SURE you are revealing all inner feelings and have a walking talking relationship with Christ. Go on a "date" or a "counsel session" with Christ and reveal to him your troubles. Christ knows all things about all people all the time, he will have the BEST listening ear around.
2. Pray for others in bondage to depression at the same time each day.
3. Read the bible regularly. Prefer the KJV in English speaking countries as it is the cheapest bible on US soil. Also evidence has shown that women who read KJV are least likely to encounter emotional strain and stress in life. It also translates back to original Hebrew and Greek the best.
4. Witness to others and speak about Christ to others.
5. If you are attending a psychiatrist at this moment in time, you may find a legal document for removal of depression meds from your list of necessary medical treatment from www.settingcaptivesfree.com website. You may just "stop" all treatment at the psychiatrist, but some meds are dangerous to the body to stop immediately and you may end up BACK at the treatment facility with even MORE troubles than you had before, so PLEASE check into that first.
6. Cut off ALL and anyone who causes you to get angry. If that person will not leave you alone, state the words "I need you to stay away from me, because you are making me mad and I DO NOT want to get mad" The flesh has a tendency to get mad. Christ wants us to live by the Spirit not in the flesh.
7. Serve others as much as possible. The flesh does not want to "work" and serve others. Pray for strength in serving others. Serving others may mean that you learn new things on how to improve your skills in various areas in life.
8. Read, memorize and meditate on bible passages each day.
9. Fellowship and worship with others who do not practice sin filled behaviors but strictly follow scripture. Avoid liberal churches who proclaim that drunkenness, sodomite lifestyle, fill in gaps with pagan practices and/or claim that weapon's of war will solve the problems of our world.
10. If you are still having minor bouts of depression, you could try herbal or alternative remedies instead. St. Johns wort, fish oil and others are some possible solutions. You may also try other therapeutic remedies like journalism.
Bellow are a few verses to memorize that can fill our "anger built" flesh with truth and life of Christ.
Psa_16:11 Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
Psa_21:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The king shall joy in thy strength, O LORD; and in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice!
Psa_27:6 And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD.
Psa_30:5 For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.
Psa_32:11 Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.
Psa_35:27 Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the LORD be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.
Psa_42:4 When I remember these things, I pour out my soul in me: for I had gone with the multitude, I went with them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with a multitude that kept holyday.
Psa_43:4 Then will I go unto the altar of God, unto God my exceeding joy: yea, upon the harp will I praise thee, O God my God.
Psa_48:2 Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King.
Psa_51:8 Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.
Psa_51:12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.
Psa_65:13 The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing.
Psa_67:4 O let the nations be glad and sing for joy: for thou shalt judge the people righteously, and govern the nations upon earth. Selah.
Psa_105:43 And he brought forth his people with joy, and his chosen with gladness:
Psa_126:5 They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.
Psa_132:9 Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness; and let thy saints shout for joy.
Psa_132:16 I will also clothe her priests with salvation: and her saints shall shout aloud for joy.
Psa_137:6 If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth; if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy.
You may also apply the same principles if you have suffered with other forms of mental illness like anxiety, OCD, bipolar, schizophrenia or other issues that can hinder or demean the value of your life.
Always remember, the problems in our world cannot nor ever will be solved by a fleshly solution. The problems of our world can ONLY be solved by Christ. We are all strangers and pilgrims of this world and we all need Christ to fill our flesh with truth and strength. DECLARE WAR on your flesh. Your flesh wants to lie, kill, steal and destroy yourself AND others whom God loves and You love. Send it to the caner and replace it with the blood and flesh of Christ.

HOMEBIRTH/NATURAL BIRTH: Proper Purity Before Marriage
Homebirth/Natural birth
-girdeth her loins with strength
-girdeth her loins with strength
This is a Proverb's 31 series post
In our day of equal rights for the "perverted," man has forgotten the reason behind Christ's death on the cross and true purity of heart, mind and body.
Before a woman even "thinks" about getting married, especially if she claims Christ as her savior, she really needs to ensure that her marriage is built on the foundation of purity in mind and body. This ensures that the children she brings into the world are not put under the pressure of living in a socially dangerous or untrustworthy environment. Such unnatural conditions can cause great psychological damage and twisting to children to that they actually "feel" like dying rather than living. For example, divorce and remarriage causes strain and pressure on the child to "choose" which parent he or she can trust. When the parents themselves don't ultimately trust God's written word as the ultimate foundation, the results, though "cured" temporarily by man or distorted religious practices, are results of generational curse upon the lives of those that follow behind.
How can a woman who has never been kissed, begin her journey towards building a pure relationship with a future spouse in such an impure world where dating and divorce are commonplace and accepted as "the only" way to find your match?
She can begin by considering HOW god created her.
She should consider the scientifically and mathematically proven truths about her body that even an imbecile or savage person can discern, including the following:
1. She is more than likely capable of having children 1 per year on a consecutive and perpetual basis. Some women are infact infertile but more than likely the first is true.
2. Every touch can cause her to be sexually stimulated, even a gentle touch by a man on one's forearm or EVEN toes or ears.
3. She is capable of birthing unassisted and without medical assistance or assistance by man. An unlearned woman can accomplish unassisted birthing and easier childbirth much easier than those who have high degrees of knowledge.
4. Separation between mother and child can cause great stress, anxiety and animosity in society and between family members.
Considering those facts, she should be prepared with a few questions to ask a future and potential spouse. That spouse should answer a clear resounding "yes" to the answers or he is not the BEST man for that woman:
1. Are you willing to have [(age of predicted menopause)-(age of woman) = Total number of ] potential children? For example: 40 (age of menopause)- 20 (age of marriage) = 20 potential children.
2. Are you willing to provide home, clothing and food so that I have no need to work away from home? based on biblical Titus 2 commentary
3. Are you willing to allow me to home school potential children? based on Christ's words:
"
36 Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation.
37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!
38 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate."
Those are a few of the following things to consider. Of course there are more. But another vital clue to ensure a pure and good relationship is established with a pure man is to ask and trust in a woman's natural father and/or brother's protection. It is guaranteed that a woman who listens carefully to the good or bad qualities in a man can discern properly in account of her natural father and/or brother's opinion of a man who seeks to court the maiden of the household.
The previous conditions to ensure purity in relationship for a woman will NEVER change as long as man dwells on the earth. Social conditions change but the design of God's plan will NEVER change. The BEST relationship is established in the light and presence of others and in the light and presence of God.
Further thing to consider is if a woman has fallen from purity, God can and will forgive, but she must be aware that consequences do and will follow.

After receiving gifts from those outside the immediate nuclear family, it is good etiquette to return a good thank-you note within one month of receiving the gift. Below are examples of what to write in the thank-you cards.

Dear Aunt Gloria,
Thank you so much for the beautiful stemware you sent to us. I know it will look wonderful on our table and we can't wait to invite you to dinner after the wedding so that you can see it for yourself. You have always had such wonderful taste in gifts!
Looking forward to seeing you on our big day!
With love,
Megan

Best wishes-
Elissa James

Dear Marjorie and Jack,
You two always know how to select the perfect gift! We just love the CD collection you gave us as a wedding present. You'll have to come by soon so we can enjoy our first dinner party together as married couples. We'll be sure to crank up the CD player that night to enjoy the new tunes.
Love,
Tina and Bill
For different ideas on how to make handmade cards check out http://www.vickiscardmakingideas.com/
A basic image printed from the computer and placed on card stock can be turned in to a number of different cards for many different thank-you notes and other greeting cards. Even in our day of social networking, it is much more thoughtful to return a handmade paper thank-you note. It stirs the memory of warmth and kindness to touch and feel a handmade card, given from the heart.

FOOD: Bean recipes
Food
-giveth meat unto her household
-giveth meat unto her household
This is a Proverb's 31 series post
Are you looking for frugal food ideas and recipes. Look no further than the bean aisle that contains dried beans at your local grocery store. There are canned beans as well, but it is so simple to turn your crock pot on high and let the beans cook for about 2 hours and you will have soft and ready to eat beans in a flash. Most stores offer a 16 oz bag of beans for about 1.00. You can make a meal to feed your family with under 2.00 if you are wise and creative. Below are a few examples:

-riseth while it is yet night
-her candle goeth not out by night
-looketh well to the ways of her household
-eateth not the bread of idleness
-riseth while it is yet night
-her candle goeth not out by night
-looketh well to the ways of her household
-eateth not the bread of idleness
This is a Proverb's 31 series post.
Have you ever thought of creating a "common book" It is similar to that of a household management binder only more of a note taking, scrap book of ideas and procedures. It was wonderful resource for those who lived in the 1800's and it can still be used today. In those days it would contain a list of ideas and resources for a number of ideas. For example it would contain a section in the book for special menus and recipes as well as another section of sewing ideas and procedures and another for gardening tips and notes.
Today you can make a common book with any number of categories:
Here may be a few:
Garden
Poetry
Electronics and Technology tips
Child Raising Tips and Results
Husband Support and ideas for better help mete
Kitchen and Food
Cleaning tips
Education schedules, ideas, goals
Remedy Methods
Prayer Section, ideas and prayer list
Books reading list
Frugal living ideas
Evening Entertainment ideas
Bible reading activities
Craft ideas and projects
Home sewing projects
Wisdom and proverbs
"ology" section of various studies
Etiquette Tips
Birthdays, Anniversary and Holiday Dates
Survival, Bulk foods, native lifestyle and Emergency Procedures
Resources and Programs, inernet based and local
Small Business, Farmer's market and Free Style income.
Baby, home birth and natural birth
Large Family Suggestions
Having a Common Book can save you lots of time trying to "look up" the same information over and over again for reference. It can be made from a bunch of scrap paper or a simple .10 notebook from Wal-mart. It can be FanCy and more scrap book in nature or it can be plain and more of a scratch book of sorts. You make the choice and design it to fit your lifestyle.
