I've been working on a quilt/afgan from a pattern I got from the Lion brand yarn company. (see lionbrand.com - zen spiral afgan pattern no. 70629AD) It's turning out really nice. It wasn't at first b/c I misunderstood the instructions and started to increase too much too fast. I had to undo the entire thing. And I had been working on this for about 2 weeks already. Well I've been re-working it all morning and I'm almost back to the round/row I was on when I let out all that yarn.

Someone pointed out that in verse 3 - it says that this principle was adapted to the weak and the weakest of all the Saints. We had really been discussing other things like the amount of sugar most of us consume. I've struggled to reduce my sugar intake over the years - and have tried to give it up all together but have backed out on that one as you can read from previous posts. Well, I really thought about that verse a lot over time. Then in January 2007 I wanted...
