It is those teens that you should be impressed with.<BR/><BR/>The teens you saw also conform, but to the group, it being their ONLY "choice" to choose from. <BR/><BR/>Do not look where there is no freedom, for teens who "choose" a wholesome life style. Look for those whose choice is from within and instead of enforced externally. <BR/><BR/>I was a part for years. I sat and watched as you visitors oohed and awed. If we didn't smile, we were told to go home. We could be rebuked and crying one minute and smiling and serving you food the next. What you get to see is tightly controlled. <BR/><BR/>Enjoy handcrafts and quilts. Mostly enjoy your freedom to be an individual and make your own choices about who you are and what you are allowed to like. When you choose a wholesome life, be thankful that you had the freedom of mind to REALY choose. <BR/><BR/>Jesus wants us to freely choose Him, not out of fear, but love. Pray that these young people will some day get to make that choice freely; as in a true choice and true freedom of heart and mind. <BR/><BR/>http://www.factnet.org/cgi-bin/discus/show.cgi?tpc=3&post=141314#POST141314 TLiberty Of Mindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10207788011061804046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16161087.post-1164581879320643672006-11-26T14:57:00.000-08:002006-11-26T14:57:00.000-08:00If only all the world was like this.

The quilts are lovely, but when I realised they were made by hand and young girls they become more beautiful - I wish I could have seen them in person. I'm so glad that quilting is alive and well around the world :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16161087.post-1164576556463825202006-11-26T13:29:00.000-08:002006-11-26T13:29:00.000-08:00What beautiful work.

Some of them go for an amazing amount of money, but they are truly works of art. I tend to like the more old-fashioned quilts, not the ones made out of the fancier fabrics or the batiks. But then I guess I'm just a bit old-fashioned myself!<BR/><BR/>Speaking of old-fashioned, it would have been so nice to see young people who are not caught up in the consumer mentality of always wanting the latest new and improved whatever. It's good that they are keeping the old arts and crafts alive.<BR/><BR/>Jackie in ONJacquiGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06580912233349212417noreply@blogger.com
