So pretty much all I have is work until the New Year, and when I'm done with work, I get to actually go straight home and hang out (what a novel idea!). I want to spend the first week working on Christmas presents. Dad wants me to spend both weeks working on cleaning/organizing my room. I got him to let me do the Christmas presents this week, though, which is nice. I'm sure after Tuesday, though, he's going to push for my room. Oh, joy. (What's worse, then I'll have all the presents to find somewhere to put, too.)
All of that aside, the world is demonstrating once again how fallen it is. When a psyco takes a gun to an elementary school (or a theater, or a college, or wherever), and shoots people, it's hard not to realize we're messed up. It's hard to ignore the sin around us.
Having lost a dear friend several years ago, I sort of understand how horrible it is for all the families, even though a friend is nothing compared to a family member. If any of them happen to be reading this blog (I have readers in a lot of strange places, apparently), I am so sorry for your loss, and I am constantly praying for you.
To all of my quilting readers, I've been thinking that it would be really cool to make a quilt for each of the families of someone killed. I'm thinking they probably shouldn't be bed-sized, probably between 3'x3' and 4'x4'. If we can find the info, I'd love to personalize them, make them reflect that person as much as possible. I think it would be a very tangible way of showing them that people do care. If you'd like to do one, please comment or message me, including if there's one person you'd particularly like to do one for. Thanks!
