Guitarist (and a funny memory)

Here is a video that my dad showed me last night. This is Chuck Buser playing The Little Drummer Boy on the classic guitar...see the awesome way he puts the 5th and 6th strings together to make the snare drum sound? So Up!

Any way, I'm mostly posting this because I know (or knew) this guy. His son and I were in the same Sunday school class when we were younger; and all I really remember of M is that we almost always had the same length of hair...and that I remember on many occasions him pulling my pigtails and me pulling his ponytail back...good memories, eh?=)

Pass on the Good News!

Tiny Tim (as we have taken to calling him) his well and at home.

Praise be to God!

It seems that he was healed on the way there, and that the doctors were confused about why he was even there!

Thank you SO much to all of you who prayed for him, God counted them and made it so.

Let us praise Him!

-Lib&Jare

More Info- Prayer Still needed!

So, I still don't know much, but I know know that at the time doctors didn't know where exactly the blood was coming from, they think either his mouth or throat...still waiting though.

I'll update when I know more...

Thank you so much again for the prayers.

Prayer Request!!!

So you all know about our new cousin Timothy, right? (See earlier post) Well I just got word that he needs prayer. I don’t have most of the details but I do know it has something to do with little Timothy bleeding inside, and is being sent to a children’s Hostile in Boise this morning.

So we (as in my whole family) would like to ask you to pray.
For Timothy, that the doctors could find out what is wrong, for them to deal with that with steady hands and clear minds, for my aunt (who is still recovering from the C-section) and my uncle (work is really taking him over, he’s in the AirForce). Please also pray for my grandmother who is there with the other 2 kids, my cousin do don’t know yet what is happening (seeing as the oldest is 6/7).

Thank you so much.

God Bless

Some of my Favorite Quotes

But first I would like to wish a Happy Birthday to sweet Cassie over at Inside My Mind. Go and tell her yourself!!!

The joy of writing
The power of preserving
Revenge of a mortal hand.
–Wislawa Szymborska

You cannot fully read a book without being alone. But through this very solitude you become intimately involved with people whom you might never have met otherwise, either because they have been dead for centuries or because they spoke languages you cannot understand. And nonetheless, they have become your closest friend, your wisest advisors, the wizards that hypnotize you, the lovers you have always dreamed of.
-Antonio Muñoz Molinas

A book is good if it permits, invites or even impels a good reading, one in which the reader has submitted himself to the text, entering the "made" experiences, and been taken beyond himself. While good books can be read badly, bad books cannot be read well. The question is not whether it is a good book, but whether the book compelled a good reading.
-CS Lewis

“When my daughter was about seven years old, she asked me one day what I did at work. I told her I worked at the college - that my job was to teach people how to draw. She stared at me, incredulous, and said, "You mean they forget?" “
~Howard Ikemoto

Stories are a way of teaching. Our own lives are mirrored and intensified by stories. We learn the connection between things by reading stories.
~Robert Coles

All I need is a sheet of paper And something to write with, and then I can turn the world upside down.
~Friedrich Nietzsche

Art is the triumph over chaos.
~John Cheever

There was a smell of Time in the air tonight…What did Time smell like? Like dust and clocks and people. And if you wondered what Time sounded like, it sounded like water running in a dark cave and voices crying and dirt dropping down upon hollow box-lids, and rain.
-Ray Bradbury

Creative imagination is more then mere invention. It is that power which creates, out of abstractions, life. It goes to the heart of the unseen, and puts that which so mysteriously hidden from ordinary mortals into the clear light of heir understanding…Writers of fantasy, more then any other writers expect poets…are able to evoke ideas and clothe them in symbols, allegory, and dream.
-Lillian H. Smith

Slow Fade Music Video

This is a God Awesome song!
Take the time to watch it. It is also my dad's favorite song.


Here are the lyrics
Be careful little eyes what you see
It's the second glance that ties your hands as darkness pulls the strings
Be careful little feet where you go
For it's the little feet behind you that are sure to follow

It's a slow fade when you give yourself away
It's a slow fade when black and white have turned to gray
Thoughts invade, choices are made, a price will be paid
When you give yourself away
People never crumble in a day
It's a slow fade, it's a slow fade

Be careful little ears what you hear
When flattery leads to compromise, the end is always near
Be careful little lips what you say
For empty words and promises lead broken hearts astray

It's a slow fade when you give yourself away
It's a slow fade when black and white have turned to gray
Thoughts invade, choices are made, a price will be paid
When you give yourself away
People never crumble in a day

The journey from your mind to your hands
Is shorter than you're thinking
Be careful if you think you stand
You just might be sinking

It's a slow fade when you give yourself away
It's a slow fade when black and white have turned to gray
Thoughts invade, choices are made, a price will be paid
When you give yourself away
People never crumble in a day
Daddies never crumble in a day
Families never crumble in a day

Oh be careful little eyes what see
Oh be careful little eyes what you see
For the Father up above is looking down in love
Oh be careful little eyes what you see

PS
It is now dumping snow here. And it's sticking.
*sigh* "Bother"

I have been Blessed

I have been blessed, beyond what I ever thought was possible.

God, thank you for family and friends.
I don't know what I would do without them.

I hope we never grow too old to have adventures, let us have them until we are hunched up and gray! Never let the wrinkles stop us, never let the aching bones. Never let these friendships fail.
I love ya guys!

"It's Frezzin' Here!"

It's been Super cold here right now! It hasn't snowed really yet but last night it got down to 5.f degrees! YikeO's

This morning I took a shower then walked down our driveway to get the paper, when I got back up to the house, I felt my hair and it was frozen! It melted about 5 minutes after being inside.


What's the weather like where you are?

My Goats + Breeding = “AWKWARD!”

Today I took one of my Oberhasli goats, Molly, to the breeders…
That doesn’t sound like much does it? But it was quite the experience!

(Tis Molly^, at a odd angle)
We finally got to the breeders (about a 75 minute drive) and got poor Molly out. It was then that we found out the “goat lady”(who we usually deal with) was out, so a guy named Jake came to help us. For those of you who know me well, you would guess my “enthusiastic” response to this. *wry grin*
He was around his mid 20’s and very “farmy”(if you know what I mean). But he seemed a little unsure of himself as he was picking out a buck. He finally brought out Bo…
We then knew for sure by her response that Molly was in heat, but we also found out…Bo…was too small… I can’t say a lot here, mainly because I don’t think you would want a vivid picture of poor Bo. So my mom went back into the barn with Jake to find a different, taller buck.
They came out, with an unnamed buck who instantly fell in love with Molly. Bucks do gross things when they are extremely and happily in love with a doe. For one, they, um, pee on their beards…and they jump around and stick their tongues out (while making a slight *grunting* sound)…I’m not sure I have ever seen a buck with its tongue *in* its mouth, now that I think about it.
But this goat, whom I shall call Romeo, Only wanted to talk to her, not do the business that we were paying for. And by ‘talk to her’, I mean, woo her, smile at her, pee for her, spit on her, lick her, and otherwise dance around her romantically. So after a while, Jake whined, “Well, I’d better help him.” You would not believe the reluctance in his voice. So with me holding Molly, and him, I’ll just say helping Romeo, I was thinking that this was getting a little on the embarrassing side of things. So I said so, “Wow, this is a little awkward,” looking at Jake. He laughed, a little on the nervous side, and replied, “Yeah, like Really awkward!”
Then Jake, mom and I all laughed. Hard. Then we also agreed, and thanked God that we aren’t goats!
Thank you Lord!!!

So any way, that’s what has happened today. My mother could more than likely tell this story better - I have tried. I hope you understand at least. =)

I am not sure if I will Ever get the smell of male goat off me! Help! 8-}

Gifted Hands (the movie)

I believe I just saw the best movie ever. It was called Gifted Hands.

It was the true story of Benjamin Solomon Carson Sr., M.D. (Read his life story HERE, its powerful) . A neurosurgeon with the belief in miracles.


I watched this movie with my whole family, but it is not rated so parents or older siblings should preview first before showing.

This movie was so powerful, tears may come to your eyes.
After I saw it, I remarked that I was surprised that they portrayed him as a praying man...but a little voice inside of me still wished that there could have more. But still...

I have been blessed by this film, and I wanted to share that.

Please consider watching it. =)
