Sergeant York, Pride and Prejudice, The Chronicles of Narnia - The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, and yes, I must admit...Star Wars and Spiderman. Okay...now I have to add Iron Man.
Music I Like
Music from Selah, Avalon, Steven Curtis Chapman, Mark Schultz, Chris Tomlin, Keith Green, 2nd Chapter of Acts, Hillsong, and a lot of other good worship music. I can't wait for Danny Gokey and Kris Allen to come out with a Christian Country/Pop album! I also like a few songs by Taylor Swift and Martina McBride.
Books I Like
For this Cross I'll Kill You (also entitled "Bruchko"), Little Pilgrim's Progress, Hinds Feet on High Places, The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardorbe, and The Horse and His Boy
My Hobbies
Gardening, and raising Jack Russell terriers
Other Things I Like
God and my family of course!! I also love flowers (especially roses) and growing them, I love children and babies and raising them, I love having grandchildren and spending time with them, and I love Springtime and Summer, and praise God for them.
And last but not least, I love being right. (which has been happening less and less lately!!)
Things I Don't Like
The liberal media world is difficult to appreciate. As far as food goes, I really don't care for any kind of melon (including watermelon!) and I really can't stand black licorice. Maybe because I've lived in the Northwest my whole life, I really dislike rain...unless I'm in Mexico (with my family) and it's 100 degrees outside! Then it's really awesome! Difficult to bear is when children grow up and move far away. Boo-hoo!
My Pet Peeves
My messy bedroom!!
Favorite Quotes
"I'm just sayin'..."
by Jonathan Hawkins
I Would Like To Thank...
God...for everything He is and will always be; my wonderful husband...for loving and taking care of me; my beautiful children...for loving me unconditionally; my awesome sons-in law...for putting up with me, and for doing such an awesome job taking care of our daughters and grandchildren; and Steven (one of my sons-in-law)...for creating MCH. I'm very proud of you!
My family is one of God's greatest gifts to me. They are such a blessing! My husband and I have been married for 31 years and have been blessed with 9 precious children, 3 precious sons-in-law (so we really technically have 12 children!), and 10 precious grandchildren.
Favorite Bible Verse
I really don't have a particular favorite, but these verses have had new meaning for me recently:
"Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord; trust in Him and He will do this: He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn, the justice of your cause like the noonday sun. Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for Him; do not fret when men succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes. Refrain from anger and turn from wrath; do not fret - it leads ony to evil. For evil men will be cut off, but those who hope in the Lord will inherit the Land." Psalm 37:6-9
Biblical Figures I Admire
Jesus Christ - the Son of God, Daniel, Joseph, Josiah, David, Peter, and Paul, just to name a few!
Historical Figures I Admire
All those listed above, all those who've been tortured and/or martyred for our Lord Jesus Christ, and Abraham Lincoln, Mother Teresa, and Martin Luther.
Public Figures I Admire
Michael Medved, Mike Huckabee, Sarah Palin
Current Praise Report!
Every day is a wonderful opportunity to be able to praise God and thank Him for all His many blessing in my life! Thank you God!!
Hi mommy, I'm missing you too! Yeah, that picture was taken from a village in Cambodia while the sun was setting, well, I guess it's kind of obvious that the sun was setting, hehe. I'll be sure to butter the girls up with tons of kisses for you. Sorry I haven't called in such a while, it really is shameful of me. We were going to give you a ring last night, but before we knew it it was too late. Hey, numerous people from church have asked how you're doing, they haven't forgotten you, and they all want me to say hi to you for them. Isn't that sweet? I'll give you a call this afternoon, love you!!!
Never take life for granted, whatever comes your way, just grasp it with both hands and enjoy it every day. Prayers will lead you in your flight. We would not appreciate the sunshine if there were no rain. Enjoy each precious moment and always give it your best, remember always have faith in God then truly you will be blessed.
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him.
I just finished Bruchko (aka for this Cross...) I read it in like 4 hours ... I couldn't put it down. I know I've read it years ago ... but I had forgotten most of it
