Seems just like yesterday ...

Oh how they grow.

This was my first photoshop

project ... many moons ago.

Happy Birthday Lil Brother !

To the outside world we all grow old.

But not to brothers and sisters.

We know each other as we always were.

We know each other's hearts.

We share private family jokes.

We remember family feuds and secrets,

family griefs and joys.

We live outside the touch of time.

There's no other love like the love for a brother.
There's no other love like the love from a brother.

Take Off The Blinders...

I believe in my heart of heart this is one of the

most serious elections this country has ever had

and it could very deeply affect

Christians living in the United States.

Any discerning person that calls Jesus Christ

their Lord and Savior should look at

what we have before us in this election.
From where Obama started and where

he has come to today is almost supernatural,

and not in the Holy sense.
Have you noticed how none of the questions

about his past associations ever phase him?
Have you noticed that every time he speaks,

of how many seem to think he

has the wisdom of the ages?
He knows how to speak to the natural man

in a way to cause this person to think

"he" is their savior.

All Christians need to unite in the

last days before the election.

GOD answers prayers for His children when we seek him.

We need to learn from the lesson back in the day

when the Israelites wanted a king,

and they wanted Saul.

GOD knew better, but since it was

His people's desire, he allowed it.

They were the ones that suffered in the long run.

Before it is too late, let's all commit to prayer

that the evil be stopped.

We have the history of the Bible to learn from

and to be wiser than they were.

Let's not waste the time,

as we approach this crossroad,

pray that a leader will be chosen by the citizens

of the US that has us at his heart rather than personal gain.

Pray that GOD will work in His supernatural

way to stop this evil.

We will be the ones better for it.

My vote this year is against what I

perceive as a very present evil.

I am not casting a vote because I love the candidate,

but merely for the salvation of the US

and it's very freedom that our forefathers

fought, bled and died for.

I am choosing not based on what I want...

but for the future of the children and future generations to come.

I believe that there will be a very nasty civil war

if Obama is chosen to fight

for the very freedoms I speak about.

We must take the blinders off

and see this man for what he is.

Educate yourself and your family

about what Obama stands for...

The Christian and The Pumpkin

Being a Christian is

like a pumpkin.

First, God picks you from the pumpkin patch

and brings you in from the field.

The Bible says He selects us out of the world.

We are in the world, but no longer of the world.

He then washes all the "dirt" off the outside

that we received from being around all the other pumpkins.

All the outside influences of our

former life must be cleaned up.

Old things are passed away and all things are become new.

He carefully removes all those

seeds of doubt, hate, greed, and fear.

After Jesus is invited inside,

you begin to experience the changing

power of God's love in your life.

Then He carves you a new smiling face

and puts His light inside you

to shine for all the world to see.

This pumpkin now reflects the light from inside out.

So too, when Jesus, who is called

the Son of Light, lives inside of us,

He shines through our life for all to see.

We can let His light reflect through us to reveal His presence.

"Let your light so shine before men that they may be able

to see your good works and glorify your Father, who is in heaven.

"So you see, we Christians are really like this pumpkin!

We will never be the same with Jesus inside of us.

We can say like this jack-o-lantern, "Thy presence, my light!"

Pumpkins

I Carry Your Heart

My Wonderful Husband

Isn't he so handsome...

I carry your heart with me

I carry it in my heart

I am never without it

anywhere I go you go, my dear

and whatever is done by only me

is your doing, my darling

I fear no fate

for you are my fate, my sweet

I want no world

for beautiful you are my world, my true

you are whatever a moon has always meant

and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows

here is the root of the root

and the bud of the bud

and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;

which grows higher

than the soul can hope

or mind can hide

this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

I carry your heart

I carry it in my heart

Day One ... Set Up

This is gonna take me awhile..

This is Ashley .. despite what she believes

she is indeed "The Baby".

"The Baby" is a term we use to decribe the spoiled one... the one who deems the most attention.
