I could not, as a Catholic mother, reconcile myself to buying things manufactured by a country that practices forced abortion, and whose human rights abuse record is, in my opinion, not surpassed by any other country in the world. I had to weigh what my dollar was really purchasing, was it enriching the pockets of those who imprison Catholic bishops, persecute Christians and use forced prison labor to manufacture those cheap goods Americans have become so fond of? Funny enough, my children's lives are not lacking for the lesser amount of "stuff" we have not bought. <br /><br /><br />Please google Bishop Peter Joseph Fan Xueyan and pray for Catholics persecuted everywhere, but say an extra prayer for those in China. If only we would all,as the Holy Father did in his Urbi et Orbi message, recognize the danger Chinese Catholics are in. <br /><br />I urge everyone who shops at bargain stores to turn the item over before purchase and see if it was manufactured in China. That bargain package of crafts items may come at a higher price than you realize.<br /><br />Pray that the corporations who own bargain stores see what I see when they look at those aisles filled with bargain items, and change their business practices.Annanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7987231933024749644.post-55167161910483416532011-01-20T14:20:57.632-05:002011-01-20T14:20:57.632-05:00It's time for me to hit the Dollar Tree NOW!!!...It's time for me to hit the Dollar Tree NOW!!!!! :)Amazing_Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18182385013313759499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7987231933024749644.post-50495303497692826312011-01-20T11:26:53.994-05:002011-01-20T11:26:53.994-05:00I actually found several of Scott Hahn's books...I actually found several of Scott Hahn's books there a couple years ago. I also get many crafty items there... love the unfinished wood letters,crosses, birdhouses, boxes etc. that the kids can paint. We painted a small wooden box purple last year for Lent and filled it with symbols representing the Stations of the Cross.<br />Big Lots is another favorite stop of mine to hunt in for craft treasures!ChrisVhttp://thereandbackagain.typepad.com/life_in_our_house/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7987231933024749644.post-22172461137079307942011-01-18T15:47:09.433-05:002011-01-18T15:47:09.433-05:00Hi Lacy, I'm a huge Dollar Tree fan too!

I snatched 8-10 of them and gave them out for Christmas to godparents and grandparents. I kept one for my own family and think I might still have one in my stash. JPII led such an inspiring life and with his beatification coming up this May, I consider that find a true treasure! After all, the original price on these beautiful books was well over $20!Melissanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7987231933024749644.post-37672438524025452702011-01-18T11:22:55.706-05:002011-01-18T11:22:55.706-05:00Lacy,
