The Ragamuffin Stuff: "Master, if You say so, I'll try again."

"I work for a King. He has put me in charge of his home. When He comes to see how I have managed His possessions and His children, I do not want to be found wanting. I want to do my best. Everything I have is on loan from Him. I have room and board and a job to do, but it is all for Him. Therefore I want to dress my best and do my best in all my work. I also want to be creative, for this is a sincere attempt to glorify Him and His beautiful creation. How I manage my home is a form of worship to Him."

How to Think Like a Crafty Recycler

Scratch the surface of any clever crafter
(Ow! Not literally!)
and you’ll likely find a consummate recycler.
You’re poised to drop something in the trash
bin and you’ll glimpse a sparkle in the eye, hear the wheels begin to spin, perhaps even catch the faint whiff of wood burning… and you know whatever is in your hand will never see the curb.
How does the crafty recycler come up with
these reasons for keeping what looks like trash to anyone else? As near as craft anthropologists can tell, it’s probably linked to a primitive survival instinct.
(Try to pry that empty cereal box out of the crafty recycler’s hand and you’ll understand just how powerful instinct can be!)
You can learn a lot from careful
observation. Learn to think like a crafty recycler.
