Others insist that if you are truly Christian you must be not only open about your faith, but incorporate it into your work. There seems to be much confusion over ministry versus occupation. |

What is a parent to do? Kids bring home gobs of art and projects almost daily. Most end up on the refrigerator or scattered around the house. At what point do you toss, and how can you keep them forever without cluttering the closets or shelves? Well, hopefully I can give you some helpful tips.

Many of us would like to try our hands at painting, even if we aren't masters at it. While it is pretty affordable to buy canvases at a local department store, these tend to be very thin and require framing to make them 'wall art.' But it is very simple to make a thicker canvas of your own that requires no frame. And it is especially fun for kids to create a painting of their own that hangs nicely. |
