I can realat to that

"I cannot live without books." 

~Thomas Jefferson~ 

 

I've never really cared for Thomas Jefferson because he didn't like Patrick Henry and Patrick Henry is kind of my "Historical Hero" if there is such a thing (?).
But if he said this, well.... maybe he's an O.K. guy. I mean really, who can live without books? They are AMAZING!

10,000 reasons

 I've heard this song four times within the last five days so I though I would post it. 

While camping a friend was singing it and I barley new any of the words. With in the next three days I had heard it twice on the radio and we sang it at church. 

I now the words now!

 Bless the lord oh my soul
Oh my soul
Worship his holy name
Sing like never before
Oh my soul
I worship you holy name

The sun comes up
Its a new day dawning
Its time to sing your song again
What ever may pass and whatever lies before me
Let me be singing when the evening comes

Bless the lord oh my soul
Oh my soul
Worship his holy name
Sing like never before
Oh my soul
I worship your holy name

You're rich in love and you're slow to anger
Your name is great and your heart is kind
For all your goodness i will keep on singing
10,000 reasons for my heart to find

Bless the lord oh my soul
Oh my soul

Worship his holy name
Sing like never before
Oh my soul
I worship your holy name

And on that day when my strength is failing
The end draws near and my time has come
Soon my soul will sing your praise un-ending
10,000 years and there forever more

Bless the lord oh my soul
Oh my soul
Worship his holy name
Sing like never before
Oh my soul
I worship your holy name

Bless the lord oh my soul
Oh my soul
Worship his holy name
Sing like never before
Oh my soul
I worship your holy name
I worship your holy name
I worship your holy name

Sing like never before
Oh my soul
I worship your holy name
(Jesus I will)
I worship your holy name
I worship your holy name

I'm impressed

Benjamin Rush Could speak Latin, Greek, German, French and a little of Spanish and Italian.
I know I'm impressed. I'm not much good at different languages.

I was thinking the other day about all the things Benjamin Rush could say and no one would know what he was saying. Benjamin Rush was also a Dr. so that could have come in handy....

"Usted tiene una enfermedad incurable."

"You have an incurable disease. "

"Ich habe keine Ahnung, was mit Ihnen falsch ist."

"I have no idea what is wrong with you."

"C'est quelque chose que je n'ai avant jamais vue."

"This is something I've never seen before."

"Il mio consiglio è di vivere come stavate morendo."

"My advice is to live like you were dying."

"¡Espero esto no sea lo que pienso que es!"

"I hope this is not what I think it is!" 



I had a little free time and see what came out of it!
Maybe next time I'll just read another book. Books are awesome! I just had to put that in there. I'm addicted to books but I'm a really slow reader so I'm still at the point were I can talk about a every book I liked/loved for weeks afterward. (Or mouths. Or years.)
If I read any more than I did I wouldn't be able to tell everyone about ever good book I read.

Anyway this is not what I started out talking about so I guess I should just stop.
Still I think I might learn some phrases in strange languages just so I can say things and then say 'Oh don't you know what that means? Well of course you don't it's in German.'
O.K. I need to go because this is silly.

Tigger!

I've always liked Tigger! If I had turned out to be Eeyore or Piglet I would not have posted about it.
(Sorry to all the Eeyores and Piglets out there) Hey! at least Eeyore and Piglet got names; unlike Owl, Rabbit and Gopher. 

Jessica said I'm a lot like Rabbit too and I sighed with relief when I didn't come out as him! I like Rabbit and all but what do you think of when you think of Rabbit? The grouchy one who's not any fun.

Anyway I'm glad I turned out to be Tigger. He's funny and plus I found a picture of him with a soccer ball which is awesome!

Which Pooh Bear Charcter are you?

Tigger   Hyper Active- Tigger is extremely hyper active with a lot energy. Tigger is very up beat and wanting to go. Always ready for the next adventure.

You Are God Alone

"You Are God Alone"

You are not a god

Created by human hands

You are not a god

Dependent on any mortal man

You are not a god

In need of anything we can give

By Your plan, that's just the way it is

[Chorus]

You are God alone

From before time began

You were on Your throne

Your are God alone

And right now

In the good times and bad

You are on Your throne

You are God alone

You're the only God

Whose power none can contend

You're the only God

Whose name and praise will never end

You're the only God

Who's worthy of everything we can give

You are God

And that's just the way it is

Top Secret!

I don't know if you caught on to this yet, but, I really really like the 17 hundreds.
I liked this picture a lot more than you probably will, but I still had to post it.

I like to think about the fact that the men who wrote the Constitution of the U.S. were just people too. Just because they graduated from college by the time kids now a days finish high school doesn't mean they weren't human.

I think the picture is  kinda cute. Not the guard of course. (I don't like guys with long hair) but the little boy and girl are really cute. Her head is like the size of the doorknob (in case you didn't notice).

Oh and by the way you might understand the picture better if you knew that it is during the Constitutional Convention and that all the members of the Convention were not allowed to tell anyone about what was going on inside the room.

It worked too. No one told. I would think with that many people, someone would have told something, and it would have spread. But maybe people kept their mouths shut better back then. I couldn't have stayed quiet that long I don't think. I would have had to tell people what I thought of the new Constitution.

Let them be your friends

“If you cannot read all your books, at any rate handle, or as it were, fondle them—peer into them, let them fall open where they will, read from the first sentence that arrests the eye, set them back on the shelves with your own hands, arrange them on your own plan so that you at least know where they are. Let them be your friends; let them be your acquaintances.”  

Winston Churchill

And when you can't do a blog post, at any rate steel something someone else said and post that instead. *Smile*

I Wonder

At the stars in the night, I wonder
At Your lightning in the sky, I shudder
Your glory is a blanket that covers
Every living thing
I’m in awe at the majesty of who You are
Your love is a seal burnt inside my heart
All of the day I want to be where You are
Holy Father

And it feels like there’s not enough praise inside of me
With all these words, all my heart can sing is holy
You are holy

Jesus Christ
You bled Your love, laid down Yourself
And gave me life
In naked shame You hung and You were lifted high
Here I lay in awe and wonder
I am afraid
For no one’s ever sacrificed and loved me this way

So on my face I fall under Your heavy grace
Here I lay in awe and wonder
And I wonder

I’m in awe at the majesty of who You are
Your love is a seal burnt inside my heart
All of the day I want to be where You are
Holy Father

And it feels like there’s not enough praise inside of me
With all these words, all my heart can sing is holy
You are holy

Happy Easter!!!

The Snowflake Man

 

"Perhaps no natural phenomenon occurring upon the earth is more of an object lesson, or portrays more fully both the power and majesty, and the gentleness of the Creator, than does a wide spread snowstorm."

~Wilson Bentley~

 

I like to call him The Snowflake Man. I just read about Wilson Bentley in school and I really liked him. 

I'll give you the 'text' vision of his life so you can be smarter today than you were yesterday and you still want get bored with me. (Unless you already know about him in which case.... I'm glad for you!)

  1. At 15 Wilson Bentley's mother gave him an old microscope. 

  2. On his 17th birthday his family gave him a camera. (At the time the camera could only be bought with an entire year's pay for a farmer and his father was a farmer. I think it sounds like Wilson had a really sweet Dad. Just like me!)

  3. When he was 19 Wilson became the first person to photograph a snowflake. 

  4. In an article he wrote Wilson Bentley declared his belief that no two snowflakes were the same. 

  5. Before his death he published his book "Snow Crystals" and it is still in print today.
