"I voted!"

Today I took part in the election process. Yep, I VOTED!

It was funny cause I decided to just run down there with no make up or anything thinking I'd just pop in, vote and go home. Well...6 of my friends from church were running the poll, wouldn't you know it. Oh well, they love me anyway.

"On Freedom and Liberty"

With the election drawing near, I have a couple of quotes I'd like to post here.  They pretty much speak for themselves, so I will just say this...We were warned!

"As government advances, freedom gives way."  -Thomas Jefferson

"Liberty has never come from government.  The history of liberty is the history of limitation of government power, not the increase of it."  -Woodrow Wilson

"Praise You in the Storm"

Some of my friends and family are going through some extremely tough times right now, including myself. This song really encouraged my heart. I hope it does yours, as well...

"Old Family Photo?"

On Mother's Day we fooled around with making our three generational photo to look like an old fashioned photo from days gone by, so we all put on our serious faces. It took several takes to do it without bursting into laughter. Too funny! Not sure how they did it back then...just generally unhappy folks? Who knows? We didn't have the old clothing to go with it.

I then added the aged effects to our previously color photograph and ended up with this...do you think it looks more like a line-up of a group of female bandits or something?

"The Voice of Truth"

This video is of a song that helps give me the strength to face another day:

When I feel trampled on and attacked.

When I'm overwhelmed and feeling so helpless.

When everything seems to be going wrong and I feel like a failure in all that I do.

When I know there's nothing I can do to help someone that I love with something they are going through.

When Satan puts lies in my head.

When my tears become so numerous that I feel like I may drown in them.

May this song encourage you as it does me...
