I cannot believe how long it's been since I blogged last!! Wow.

I don't have anything to say right now but I just watched some hilarious clips on youtube and thought I would share. I do have some pics to post eventually though. =)







Maybe it's just me... or just me and my family... but my face hasn't been that sore from laughing in a while.

Not much time to blog...

But here is a pic of most of our present group... John, of course, was hiding behind Ang's head... and Justin had just missed the pic by coming 30 seconds later... and Walter beebee was sleeping. And, alas, the picture is blurry... cuz the camera was dangling from our clothesline. Oh well.
This pic is from the ginormous birthday party we had... consisting of celebrating Dad, Justin, Dan, Rach, Micah, Gregory and Addie.

And this pic is for Hannah... this is what I had started for your beebee... in expectation that it might be a girl. This was gonna be the centerpiece of the blanket. But, alas, it is just a lonely patch still. I'll find something to do with it. ;)

Anyway, gotta git! Having a lovely time with our company! Wish all of you could be here!

Just watched this....

with the Hacklers and have found myself very encouraged by it! Minus some arminianism, along with a man praying to Jesus Christ via a cross, and Jesus Christ speaking back to Him via said cross... and even though Christian's burden did look a little funny... especially when he ran down the road, that was pretty funny. But! I thought it was very good. I liked it.

Man, I love the Lord's day! But there has been too much food for thought for me to handle. I mean, I've thoroughly enjoyed each bite of it... it's just me.... I'm the real problem here. ;) I either can't remember what it was... or I don't have time to meditate on it long enough. But it has truly been such an edifying day. The sermon was very good... discussion was good... the movie was good... more discussion was good. Especially the sermon, though. =) We listened to this today: http://www.sermonaudio.com/sermoninfo.asp?SID=10260615583

"O how I love thy law! It is my meditation all the day." Well... on Sundays it's all the day anyway... that's why the Lord's day is such a wonderful day! You can worship and read and meditate on the Lord all day! For the most part, anyway. The rest of the week housecleaning (our living... hey, it could be a lot worse) takes up much of my meditation. But I'm soo thankful for the work God has provided for us. Please pray that He'd continue to bless us with more work!

Ah, and a BIG congratulations to Ed and Hannah on the birth of their baby, Charles!! Praise the Lord for a safe delivery! And yay that Beka can be there to help out!

"For a day in thy courts [is] better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness." Psalm 84:10. That whole Psalm is really just... great.

Pardon the random-blurb style I've assumed in this post. It's just the way my brain works now. =D

And here is a picture of some really weird kids... /: No idea where it came from... just kinda found it on my computer. :P

This was taken on Caiah's birthday... he is officially... a TEENAGER. And that is a frightening thought. For a multitude of reasons. ;) (Just teasin, Caiah)

Anyhoo... I very much need to get to bed. So, sayonara, God bless, sleep well, sweet dreams, and above all... pray without ceasing (1 Thess. 5:17).

My Loverly Piano!

Here it is, Sistah!

Yay!!!

It's been such a long time since I really blogged, I don't even know what to say. I'm quite thoroughly out of practice. And... I've lost all taste for photography! Well, I say photography... what I mean is snap-shotting. Anyway, it's quite strange.
I just saw some really cool animals on the Africam. =) http://video.nationalgeographic.com/video/wildcamafrica/ They're like wart-hog/hippopotamus/mule looking creatures. Very funky.

So... what have I been up to. Well, I've been working, knitting (so fun! I'll have to post my most recent somewhat-accomplishment), spending time at Jen's (as always =D), vegging on the floor in between jobs, eating cream puffs!, walking my dog, attempting to use my brain for Greek, Math, and Biblical studies, trying to figure out what on earth I can give a 15-year-old nephew for his birthday when I'm broke (any suggestions?), chuckling at Mom as she gloats over our new wheel covers (we've been missing one of our wheel covers since we moved here to ID... fits in with the whole hilly-billy/hobo thing, no? Hah, y'all thought those hilly-billy pictures were just for fun! So yeah... Rach just bought a car which came with an extra pair so she gave them to us! Isn't she nice?:D)... and I have a question for you...

Which is harder, in general... obviously certain things would depend... and there would be factors and circumstances, etc, but in general... Doing something you don't want to do? Or not doing something you want to do?

Here are some of my most treasured Bible verses at present:

"As a dream when [one] awaketh; [so], O Lord, when thou awakest, thou shalt despise their image. Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my reins. So foolish [was] I, and ignorant: I was [as] a beast before thee. Nevertheless I [am] continually with thee: thou hast holden [me] by my right hand. Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me [to] glory. Whom have I in heaven [but thee]? and [there is] none upon earth [that] I desire beside thee. My flesh and my heart faileth: [but] God [is] the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever. For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: thou hast destroyed all them that go a whoring from thee. But [it is] good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord GOD, that I may declare all thy works." -Psalm 73:20-38
Yes, I copied those from Blue Letter Bible so you get all the brackets and such.

"[Let your] conversation [be] without covetousness; [and be] content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. So that we may boldly say, The Lord [is] my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me." -Hebrews 13:5&6.

"My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation [is] from him. He only [is] my rock and my salvation: [he is] my defence; I shall not be moved. In God [is] my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, [and] my refuge, [is] in God. Trust in him at all times; [ye] people, pour out your heart before him: God [is] a refuge for us. Selah." -Psalm 62:5-8

And I love the commands and promises in Psalm 37: "Trust in the LORD, and do good... Delight thyself also in the LORD... Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring [it] to pass... Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for Him...For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth."

And the picture of the day... =D



So long!
