Musings

Fear, desperation, and hope, all play an important role in the book Lord of 
the Flies. (I am not finished yet...so far I have enjoyed it.)  From the 
beginning, Mr. William Golding (the author) has faithfully painted a bizarre 
background to his book.  While the main characters are young boys, the 
author is trying to get at something deeper than youthful actions.  I believe 
that Golding wisely chose to utilize the boys as 'innocent' characters who display a darker under-lying theme.  
From what I have read so far, Golding uses these marooned British boys as tools for a greater message; he 
provides the reader with a glimpse at the horrible reality of this life.  Without any parental supervision, the boys 
must maintain a healthy balance between leadership, independence, chaos, order, hostility, and union.  It is most certainly a good reminder of the fallen state of mankind!  Without a Savior, we would be ravenous animal-like creatures.  Just like these young men, we would be fearfully lost.

"But if it is by grace, it is no longer on the basis of works; otherwise grace would no longer be grace...So I ask, did they stumble in order that they may fall?  By no means!  Rather through their trespass salvation has come to the Gentiles..."
Romans 11:6, 11

Fashion Post

Has anyone besides me been enjoying the weather?  It has been great!  The sunshine and breeze feel wonderful after the harsh cold.  Anyway, I thought I would do my first fashion-post.  Do you like these outfits?  What part(s) of them are your favorite?  What would you change about them?

Next up is an outfit I named "Cowgirl Style"  :)   I absolutely love the earrings!  

And finally, some vintage...

Have you figured out what style of clothes you like to wear?  What colors complement your skin and hair color?  Do you sew most of your own clothes yourselves?  

Have a blessed day!
