journal entry: “You Are Divine” is used here to mean that we are children of Heavenly Parents. Our attributes are Heavenly gifts. We are divine. This is a fairly large globe which had several damaged surfaces. I used a “one-coat metallic spray paint” which covered quickly and perfectly in …
I made shadow puppets for our Family Get-Together. (You can find the post on this blog as Shadow Puppets for Everyone) Here are pictures of the show. Grandpa used a metal garment rack to which he attached a white sheet. He used clamps from his garage. He put the …
