Abortions & After Birth Abortions Are Murder!

I am very disturbed to come across a particular piece of writing that was shared on my cousin Emily's wall. I want to make this aware to people out there who read my posts. Some University student seems to think that pretty much killing an infant after birth should be permissible and it is okay. Especially after birth when examining the child and find out that the infant has down syndrome. That is just one 'example' that this student had come up with. I feel bad that this world has become so corrupt and hateful and just does not care at all. We are not to harm the little ones. It says so in the bible. Jesus loves the little children. So here is the link of the write up to this disturbing news At: http://www.theblaze.com/stories/ethicists-argue-in-favor-of-after-birth-abortions-as-newborns-are-not-persons/

Ravioli Dough Recipe I Want To Try

• Ingredients
  3 cups of flour
• 5 egg yolks
• ½ tsp salt
• Enough water to make a smooth dough (if needed)

1. Beat the egg yolks and add them and the salt to a mixing bowl already filled with flour. Use your hands and mix to form a dough. If you can’t get all the flour hydrated into a dough, add more water until you can form a nice firm but sticky dough.
2. Knead the dough for about 10 minutes, or until it is smooth and stretchy. Although you can roll out the ravioli sheets immediately, letting the dough rest for 20 minutes or more allows the proteins in the dough to relax and makes rolling much easier. Rest the dough covered under the mixing bowl so it won't dry out too much.

Rolling out the Ravioli Pasta Sheets

1. OK, once you have rested your dough, tear off a bigger than golf ball smaller than baseball sized hunk. Flatten it out with your rolling pin and start to roll. The dough will be sticky, so you will need a bowl of flour on hand. Sprinkle a little flour on the table and on the dough and roll it firmly a few times. After a few good rolls, lift the dough sheet off of the counter and flip it over, adding a little more flour onto the counter and onto the dough sheet as necessary. Use as little flour as you can get away with, but always keep the dough sheet loose and sliding on the counter.
2. Keep rolling and flipping and rolling and flipping until you get a dough that is paper thin. This will take a little while and a little effort, but it's worth it. You want to be able to see your hand through the dough when you lift it off of the counter. Don't worry if your dough sheet is irregularly shaped – it won’t matter.

Cutting and Filling the Ravioli.

OK, once you have rolled out a sheet of dough nice and thinly, give your rolling arms a break and cut out your ravioli shapes.

1. I like to use a water glass as a mold (About 3-4 inches in diameter). Invert the glass and press down on the dough with the top of the glass. Trace a knife point around the dough until you have cut out a circle of pasta (cookie cutter style). Repeat, cutting as many pasta circles as you can from your sheet of dough.
2. Take the scraps that you have cut from around the glass mold and add them back into your (Covered) dough ball for future rolling.

Filling the Ravioli

1. So now you have a counter filled with cut-out circles of dough. In the center of each circle, place about a teaspoon of your filling. Use as much filling as you can get away with and still be able to close of the ravioli well.
2. In a bowl, beat an egg and then using your finger, spread a little beaten egg around the outside of the pasta circle. This beaten egg is the glue that will seal the folded over pasta circle into a finished ravioli.
3. Fold the pasta circle over the filling and press the top down into the bottom, crimping with your fingers to fuse the dough and form a seal. Try to work from one side to the other, squeezing the air out as you go.
4. Once you have filled all your circles and crimped them into ravioli, place them on a floured baking sheet and start rolling your next ball of dough into a pasta sheet.

If you plan on making these in advance, place the baking sheet full of finished ravioli (in one layer only) in the freezer. Once the ravioli have frozen solid, you can transfer them into a Tupperware style container and continue to freeze them until ready to use. When ready to eat them, drop the frozen ravioli directly into boiling water for 4 or 5 minute, and then toss with sauce.

I Found An Aged Paper Trick

Alright so I am trying to do different tutorials on how to age your paper to look like the old style. I have tried brushing cold black coffee onto my paper and then letting it dry over night, which I did not like the out come. It did not darken enough for my liken. So I have tried so money others as well, but now I finally found the one I am going to use with some of my poetry written on it for the cover of my poetry book. So here is the quick little method. Brush cold coffee onto your paper while on a cooking sheet, then cook in oven on 400 and keep light on to look in, when edges start to curl up take it out. It goes really dark. Also forget to mention to squirt some lemon juice on top of the paper and brush it up and down with a silicone brush. So I really like this effect, because not only does it get dark enough, but the edges kind of get a little burnt each time which gives the illusion of a distressed look so it makes it look much older too. It definitely keeps me from having to light up a tea light candle and then burn the edges and then quickly put the fire out with a cloth like some tutorials tell you to do in order to make the edges look distressed.  So now all I got to do now that I found a method that works for me. I just got to get photos taken of the old paper then pick the best of the ones that turned out good and put it together as my cover.

Needle Time

Well Jonathan and I finally found a medical clinic that will give Aaliyah her needles she needs. We've been searching for a place that will take her on as their patient. But for now we are just going to stick with clinics instead of transfering all her medical records over to an official doctor since this move will most likely be temporary. We will be here for at least 3 or 4 years long enough to get our bills paid off. Today Jonathan and I took our little sweet heart to get her needles. She is so brave I must say. She had 4 needles. One in her left arm then two into her left leg, then one in right leg. I just felt so helpless sitting while helping the nurse hold my little princess down to give her the needles. As Aaliyah is looking up into my face with a plethora of tears coming down her face and question in her eyes saying "MOMMY HELP ME". It just breaks your heart to have to see your little one go through any form of hurt. I just love my daughter so much. She means the world to me.  She is doing good now though. It has now been a few hours and as always when babies get needles they tend to be more sleepy and such. So she is resting for now.  I am so proud of her for being a brave little girl.

People Are Being Deceived

Jonathan and I went for a walk across the street with Aaliyah to the mall to pick up a few things.  So as we are on our way home from running our errands these two people a guy and a girl come to us introducing themselves. The guys name was Matthew and the girls name was Amy. They told us about how they are from Romania and that they are christians and asked if they could talk to us about God and the bible. I am sure they were assuming we weren't christians so I played along to see what they wanted to tell us. They start by telling us that Jesus' second coming already happened blah blah blah, but the only proof they use in the bible about his so called second coming was the fact that Jesus died and rose again. So when he rose again that is apparently his second coming. Then they tell us that there is not only God our father, but we have a God the mother too. Although they never gave us any verses to back up that part, but gave us a pamphlet for it. Then they started to tell us that Jesus is not Jesus and he has a new name due to the manna which was read to us from revelations. They said that Jesus is going to come as himself in person which I obviously believe, because when Jesus went into heaven and the people were marvelling at that, he said why do ye marvel? Because the same way I leaveth is the same way I am going to come back for my people.  But they are saying that he is coming alone and not with the saints and he will not be on a cloud and that the word cloud means something different according to the word. Anyways I just had to type all of this out so I do not forget, so I can actually do a bible study on what they told us so for future reference if we get attacked by a mob of deluded Christians again, then I can have verses to back up what I am saying and what they is wrong. It says in the bible when we come across people such as this to rebuke them harshly.  So I intend to do so, but just need to be more studios in the word of God and be more knowledgable.

Poetry Book Update

So all I need to do in order to upload my document full of poetry is get my paper aged with the nicely hand written poetry in calligraphy style for my book cover then take some photos of it. Soon enough my book will be done. I was aiming for the end of this month, but that is not going to happen. I will try to get things done for the end of March. Sorry for not getting it all done. I really want to get my book published as soon as possible with all my poetry for everyone to read.

A Book Idea

I always wanted to write a book, but I never knew what about. Since I been in the process of publishing my poetry. I feel that I should write a book about my testimony, but then I feel like writing a book about myself, but not in the testimonial way. I find that if I wrote about myself and teenage life experiences in a way that young readers would understand that it would sell. I had some pretty interesting and quite dramatic experiences. I know that either way the ordeals I have faced as a young girl is intense for someone of my age. Usually the stuff I encountered would happen to people when they are a little bit older in life. I am so lost, because I do not know in what way I should write my book. It is always running through my head on how to write it. So I did try to open up a compostion book I bought from the dollar store for the purpose of writing my book and I just kept going blank. I am not sure if I am ready or maybe I think of it too much and I am putting this book writing idea above God or not. I asked God to show me what to do and if it is for the purpose of a testimonial book then let it flow out of me at the right time and if it is in his will to allow to me write in more of the style of how writers such as Stephenie Meyer's and Aprilynne Pike does their writing then to also allow it. I understand that it is all in God's timing for an answer, but it is so over whelming and I can't stop thinking about it. Anyways I had to get this off my chest. Just holding the thought of this in was bugging me. I have not slept lately because of this issue.
