Looking to paint furniture a smooth finish? It's so much easier than you think. Here are 7 tips for painting furniture without brush marks.
How can Christians represent the love of Christ to their neighbors (let alone people in foreign countries) in an age when Christianity has earned a bad name from centuries of intolerance and cultural imperialism? Is it enough to love and serve them? Can you win their trust without becoming one of them? Can you be a missional Christian without a church? This provocative book, based on a recently uncovered collection of 100-year-old letters from a famous pastor to his son-in-law, a missionary in China, will upend pretty much everyone’s assumptions about what it means to give witness to Christ. Christoph Friedrich Blumhardt challenges us to find something of God in every person, to befriend people and lead them to faith without expecting them to become like us, and to discover where Christ is already at work in the world. This is truly good news: No one on the planet is outside the love of God. At a time when Christian mission has too often been reduced to social work or proselytism, this book invites us to reclaim the heart of Jesus’ great commission, quietly but confidently incarnating the love of Christ and trusting him to do the rest.

When Gretchen and Jason Black were dating and in college, Sunday afternoons were spent driving around to admire architecture and attend open houses. They didn’t realize at the time that they were creating a love of homes that would last a lifetime. After marrying, Jason, who received his MBA, and Gretchen, who went on to become a neonatal nurse, they began to work on their own home, researching design trends and building features while drawing on their own creativity. “We built a home together and thought, ‘Hey, we can do this,’” says Jason.

Here is how I made the plaster rose from my last post. I had a rose to begin with. You can use a silk rose, or a plastic one. Just make sure either are clean. This is a messy, but pretty simple project. You're going to need latex or vinyl gloves, plaster of paris, gesso, a stirring stick, and a bucket or wide container for your mix. Start with plaster of paris. Mix with water, till you get the consistency of pancake batter. Make enough to immerse your rose in. Then add a little white gesso. This will dry super fast if you don't have water on hand to keep the batter like consistency. Keep adding water if it starts to stiffen. Have your flowers ready. Put on your gloves and dip. You want to saturate the rose with the mixture, and get in the crevices. If you are using a silk rose, you may have to do a little sculpting to get the shape you want. When you're done, shake off the excess, and lay it on a plastic surface. I just used a plastic bag. Depending on how thick you coat the rose, it will take a few hours to a day for it to stiffen and dry really well. The finish will be chalky. You can dust it with a small paint brush. Now, this is purely decorative. This is not something you want to bang around a lot. The plaster will chip. You can leave it this way, seal it with spray, or paint it. I like the raw irregular look. I put some of them in my vintage bottles. There are a multitude of variations to this technique, but I wanted to give you a simple one.
