cook

You Are a Learning Cook
You've got the makings of an excellent cook, and the desire to be one.But right now, you're just lacking the experience. You couldn't be a top chef yet, but you could be an apprentice.
Are You A Good Cook?

Who are you??


Apparently I'm Peter.
You are most like Peter Pevensie,
once High King of Narnia.
As Peter, you are brave,
loyal yet intelligent,
and are greatly respected
for upholding what you think is right.

One from President Washington

It is impossible to account for the creation of the universe, withou the agency
of a Supreme Being. It is impossible tto govern the universe, without the
aid of a Supreme Being. It is impossible to reason without arriving at a
Supreme Being. If there had been no God, mankind would have been obliged
to imagine one.

~George Washington
- And to think most of the world believes that the world was created because of a big bang. Not to mention they don't believe in God, except when strange things happen or when something goes wrong. Then it's what is God doing to me??? Why can they not see the obvious existence of God in the world. I believe it was Thomas Cole who said:
To observe nature closely is to follow the finger of God.
So, everyone lives with nature, right. Is there one person on earth who has not observed nature? Even the blind, deaf, and dumb have observed nature. I once heard the if you tell something a lie long enough and often enough, they will believe it. So, it the world suffering from the calamity of the lie that there is no God?

Hard as it seems.... I will listen

Hard as it seems, standing in dreams, where is the dreamer now?
Wonder if I, wanted to try. Would I remember how?
I don't know the way to go from here.
But I know that I have made my choice.
And this is where I stand until He moves me on
And I will listen to His voice
This the faith, patience to wait, when there is nothing clear.
Nothing to see, still we believe, Jesus is very near.
I can not imagine what will come.
But I've already made my choice.
And this is where I stand until He moves me on.
And I will listen to His voice.
Could it be that He is only waiting there to see?
If I will learn to love the dreams that He has dreamed for me?
Can't imagine what the future holds,
But I've already made my choice.
And this is where I stand until He moves me on.
And I will listen to His voice
~Twila Paris

Trusting Him

Trusting Him, trusting Him,
Leaning on Jesus,
Knowing that whatever comes is in His control.
Trusting Him, Trusting Him,
Leaning on Jesus,
Everything will be o.k. cause I'm trusting in Him.

Quote #2 for today

People treat life as though it's the dress rehearsal for some big show. It's not. This is it."
- Jane Seymour -
How true is that. We think we have a second chance at things, guess what, we don't. We only get one chance. One chance to do the right thing, one chance to share God with someone that might otherwise never hear about God, did you ever think of it like that.....???

Quote

To love is to allow hope into your life.
To hope is to allow uncertainty into your life.
To be uncertain is the essence of learning to trust God to bring only the disappointments
He deems best.

Update

Hey everyone!!! I have an extra minute before orchestra so I am posting quick.

This weekend was crazy. My sister's play was this weekend, plus we had company, who came for the play, I love having company, but it was busy. The play was great. Debbie did a totally awesome job as Phillipa Gordon (They did Anne of Avonlea). I think she was the audience's favorite. They would erupt into applause whenever she finished a scene. The bad thing is you can't hear the audience with the curtain shut, so she didn't know.


I really miss being in theater. It is one of the most awesome things you could ever do. We have often talked of doing an alumni drama but,..... the ever present time gets in the way. Plus I don't think we could get any of the guys to do it, and ummm..... I got tired of being the boy years ago. When we would do plays at home I was always the boy because I was the tallest and could make my voice the lowest, which is fine, but I got very tired of it.......

Well, I guess it is off to orchestra..... I will post more including pictures later, maybe, o.k. later this week for sure :)


BTW it is 70 outside!!!!!!

I will post a quote/poem/etc later as well.

Quote Time!!

I have been driven many times upon my knees by the overwhelming conviction that I had nowhere else to go.
~Abraham Lincoln
For want of a nail
the shoe is lost,
For want of a shoe
the horse is lost,
For want of a horse
the rider is lost,
For want of a rider
the battle is lost,
For want of a battle
the war is lost,
For want of a war
the nation is lost,
All for want of a horse shoe nail.
~George Herbert
1593-1632

Catching up

Hello everyone!!! I know it's been forever since I last posted. Life has been busy, busy, busy.

The most important thing that has happened is the birth of my baby sister: Sarah Elisabeth (Sarah Beth) was born on March 24th at 9:30 p.m. She weighed 7lbs. 5oz. and was 21 inches long. She is so precious to have around, and she is a very good baby. She sleeps well during the night so mom is getting her sleep and we are all doing well. Here are 2 pictures!!!



Last week I played in my first pit orchestra. It was quite the experience. I've always wanted to be in a pit orchestra and one of the local HS was looking for violins. So I volunteered. They did Annie Get Your Gun. It went fairly well. The conducter was strange, it was very difficult to follow him. I won't say anything else, because, well you don't want to get me started, it wasn't fun. Being in pit orchestras is a good thing for me to get into doing. If you play for opera houses and such, you get paid, so it would be a good thing to do on the side for some money.

Other than that I've been keeping busy doing normal stuff. IDD moved recently. I feel like crying, it's changed. I don't know how much longer I'll keep posting. I've been cutting back and cutting back, how long before I just leave..... And it's hard, I don't know what's up with me recently. I'm so emotional. You don't know me well enough, but I not an emotional person, I rarely cry, even at movies.....

Well, it is way past my bedtime, and I have a busy weekend ahead. I will try to post again soon.
