Perhaps I haven't been a member of the church long enough to have been exposed to this beyond-kitschy practice (shudders just thinking about it).

I have plenty of other philosophical posts about that issue.<BR/><BR/>I'm talking scrapbooking and only scrapbooking. No subtle messages. No innuendos.<BR/><BR/>Abelard- You put up a decent argument, but I'm tempted to say that even doing drugs would be better than scrapbooking(!). And you say that your wife teaches classes on kitschyness!!?? Things are getting worse than I thought!! Down with kitschyness! Down with kitschyness!

The temptations may be powerful, but they are never so strong as to deprive us of our freedom of choice.<BR/><BR/>We should also avoid obsession with or concentration on scrapbooking feelings.
