The Bible does not forbid taking oaths, acknowledging that in a world filled with liars there are times when they are necessary. Certainly it is not wrong to take an oath when testifying in court, being ordained, or getting married. Oaths are wrong when they are misused with the intent to deceive others, or when taken rashly or flippantly. The Bible gives examples of godly men who took oaths, lists God’s commandments that oaths be taken, and records instances of God Himself taking oaths.
John MacArthur

Great news actually! Dh sold our spare car and now we can buy wood for the winter!!! Which means that he can also now start saving for my tri loom, looks like I will get it for our anniversary the end of November!!! Can't wait.
Bad news, I have carpal tunnel syndrome! All the peeling of pears set it off badly and I woke up yesterday with totally numb hands! They are a little bit better today. I have ordered braces for both hands to sleep in and to use while on the computer or knitting, weaving.
Anyway, could you please keep my hands in your prayers. 🙂
Praying for all of you, debra
