Dear Lydia: Outshined as a Witness

Dear Lydia,

I recently moved to the south (USA) where many people profess to be Christians. I joined a club to have an opportunity to meet people and share my faith. There is a woman in the club who is very outgoing and often says religious type things for everyone to hear, such as, "praise the Lord for that blessing," or "God is trying to tell you something."

Conquering the Black Jeans

I have a job to complete. I’m sitting at my kitchen counter with my “Hello Kitty” sewing machine… hemming some black jeans. (Yes, I use a “Hello Kitty” sewing machine. It is simple enough for me to use, and I figured that I could teach my grandkids to sew with it.) I purchased these jeans for my husband about 3 years ago because they were his size…sort of. I found them on sale for one dollar.
