Gluten-free version of saltine crackers . . .

 Definitely not the light crispy crackers we find in the store but a very nice, crisp and more solid cracker that should stifle a few cravings.

Non-Fat Cupcakes!

 My latest, completed project! This was a fun scarf to crochet and I especially enjoyed making the cupcake to grace each end of the scarf. The cupcake was crocheted separately and then sewn on to the scarf. I was worried about what color yarn to use as I didn't want the dark colors showing on the back or the cream showing on the cupcake. Turned out to be easy as it was easy to use the lighter color and bury tell tail signs of it in the thickness of the cupcake applique. Mission accomplished!

Who is rocking your baby's cradle . . .?

The world is changing more quickly than any other time in history. I think instant communication and the greed of governments lends itself to this. Here is a thought-provoking that shows it is not our imagination when it seems like parents are having less and less say in the upbringing of their children.

I also read that a school has 'tags' on each child while they are on the school premises to keep track of their whereabouts. Another school sent home laptops with the students with a slight quirk that soon came to light . . . They were formulated to actually spy on the children. How did it become news? One child was chastised in class for eating candy at home the night before thanks to the computer monitoring system on the laptop.

The monitoring tags on the school children reminds me of herding cattle so none of them escape. Kind of a scary perspective when you consider the monitored 'animals' are human children!

The one thing the changes in the world have brought is bringing more Christians to their knees in prayer for the ultimate good of the world.
