To me it seems like the criticism is coming from people who either haven't seen it or who have a predisposed dislike for anything that suggests God is powerful and changes lives when asked.<br />The whole point of the film is that most westerners are, like me wading through the thick, cloying molasses of life, with no time to address life's problems, even if they are on a dangerous downward spiral.<br />I thought Karen Abercrombie's diction was extraordinary, and T.C. Stalling's athleticism impressive. The film may have lathered the emotions on thick, but it possessed real heart.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14546878.post-81350054117674670562011-09-25T07:51:25.003-04:002011-09-25T07:51:25.003-04:00hysdi'm only a five year 'friend' ;) b...hysdi'm only a five year 'friend' ;) but you are so right. they're SO grounded. when they played Apex Church back a few years ago, i got to be the 'set up man'. they pulled up in their van and their trailer and i'm waiting for the roadies to show. downhere ARE their own roadies. I mean, they've won Juno, Dove, and Covenant awards, but they're still loading their own gear. i suppose playing 'jesus music' doesn't afford them to hire guys to do their work for them, but as you say in the article, maybe God has had them spend some time criss crossing the world and doing the set up and tear down themselves to keep them grounded. I'm SO happy for the boys. it couldn't happen to better people.

Yep. She disparages ‘mommy-bloggers’ for spreading ‘misinformation’ on the internet! Do you believe this? (Of course, the poor sacrifical lamb has already resigned, her last day is tomorrow) Gee, why do you think they picked her to go on camera?<BR/><BR/>There is a closed door Congressional Staffer meeting tomorrow about CPSIA. Today and tomorrow would be a REALLY good day to CALL, email and FAX everyone in congress you can think of as well as the CPSC.<BR/><BR/>We would also appreciate you continuing to spread the word to go to http://www.savekidsresale and Click! to vote (the petition has over 70,000 signatures) as we intend to print out all 500 pages and distribute it to Congressional members tomorrow. As you know, the CPSC has done it’s best to quell the uproar our little corner of this devil in diapers that is CPSIA by their infamous ‘Press Release’. <BR/><BR/>Thanks so much!

Consignment sales and stores will be safe. However I still feel bad about people who have small businesses/working from home making cutesy kid products from scratch using new materials (hair bows, dolls, dresses, etc.) It doesn't look like they have a reprieve quite yet.Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16530979714994055586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14546878.post-58087107412662262852009-01-08T22:23:00.000-05:002009-01-08T22:23:00.000-05:00The CPSC has released a press release to clarify t...The CPSC has released a press release to clarify that the law will not apply to resellers: http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/prerel/prhtml09/09086.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14546878.post-46961456598595595852009-01-06T08:03:00.000-05:002009-01-06T08:03:00.000-05:00I am curious who is sponsoring this?

The negative impact of this law will be FAR worse than any potential threat of lead in some buttons. Come on....we are talking about billions of dollars in waste here. The government should be putting the burden of proof on the manufacturers, not the resellers. This law is bogus!

We resale, consignment and thrift owners selling or specializing in kid's clothing and gear have just been blindsided by this. It is so frustrating to get no one in our Congress to pay attention to the issue and for CPSC to be overwhelmed that they are unable to provide clear, concise, understandable clarifications or requested actions when Feb10 is roaring up on us so quickly! Our poor landfills.<BR/><BR/>http://savekidsresale.squarespace.com/Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13719358858309376122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14546878.post-89518785789739775472008-12-27T13:21:00.000-05:002008-12-27T13:21:00.000-05:00Thanks for visiting my blog.
