Just think Jesus loves us even more than the words this man is singing, but I think if a man sang like this to me, I could settle for it. Uh, maybe it's just because it's Keith. ;)

Vote People!

So peaceful watching a movie; someone pops me on chat tells me I need to look at a picture of someone I remind him of. Picture follows:


Reason why he's exact words:
She's evil and bad. Oh, and cross! But hey, she's hot!
So the vote is such...should I be extremely insulted or pleasantly pleased!
By the way, I DON'T THINK I LOOK LIKE HER!!!
And yea, excuse me for living, but of course, I can be bad, cross....evil?!...not so sure on that one, but name someone who is never any of those things!
Oh Lord, it's funny how people perceive you & how a last name can be played on. Mine begins with cross! :D

Alive or....

Me loving you; keeps me alive.
You not loving me; makes me die.

M.C.

Love's Song

SOMEDAY I'LL FIND MY OTHER PEA!

Poems by - Ella Wheeler Wilcox

Are you loving enough?
Are you loving enough? There is some one dear,
Some one you hold as the dearest of all
In the holiest shrine of your heart.
Are you making it known? If death's quick call
Should suddenly tear you apart,
Leaving no time for a long farewell,
Would you feel you had nothing to tell--
Nothing you wished you had said before
The closing of that dark door?

Are you loving enough? The swift years fly--
Oh, faster and faster they hurry away,
And each one carries its dead.
The good deed left for the by and by,
The word to be uttered another day,
May never be done or said.
Let the love-word sound in the listening ear,
Nor wait to speak it above a bier.
Oh, the time for telling your love is brief,
But long, long, long is the time for grief.
Are you loving enough?

LOVE MUCH

Love much. Earth has enough of bitter in it;
Cast sweets into its cup whene'er you can.
No heart so hard, but love at last may win it;
Love is the grand primeval cause of man;
All hate is foreign to the first great plan.

Love much. Your heart will be led out to slaughter,
On altars built of envy and deceit.
Love on, love on! 'tis bread upon the water;
It shall be cast in loaves yet at your feet,
Unleavened manna, most divinely sweet.

Love much. Your faith will be dethroned and shaken,
Your trust betrayed by many a fair, false lure.
Remount your faith, and let new trusts awaken.
Though clouds obscure them, yet the stars are pure;
Love is a vital force and must endure.

Love much. Men's souls contract with cold suspicion,
Shine on them with warm love, and they expand.
'Tis love, not creeds, that from a low condition
Lead mankind up to heights supreme and grand.
Oh, that the world could see and understand!

Love much. There is no waste in freely giving;
More blessed is it, even, than to receive.
He who loves much, alone finds life worth living;
Love on, through doubt and darkness; and believe
There is no thing which Love may not achieve.

Merry Christmas!

We had a newspaper come to our house to do an article about the way we as foreigners celebrate Christmas here & would you believe it in under a minute he had nearly perfect pictures of us. If I ever have kids, lol, photos will be taken at a studio...Lord supply the money! :D

Words From Jesus

My dear one, I love you from the deepest part of My heart. My thankfulness for your perseverance, despite many hardships, reaches from one end of the heavens to the other. Though your heart has been broken many times, I have put it back together each time.

All have weaknesses and shortcomings, but I love no one any less for these weaknesses. My love is unconditional. That means no matter what condition you are in, whether you are doing poorly or whether you are doing well, I love you no less or more for the way you are. My love does not depend on glowing statistics or a fine record. I do not love you any less because of your failures or mistakes. My love is perfect.

Therefore you do not have to fear that I love you any less because you do not seem to be as strong as others, or because you are not the way you would like to be, or you are not as victorious as you would like to be.

When I look at My children, at the creations that My hands have made, I just look at them, not their past, present or future. I just look at you. I love you because I made you. I do not see anything else. So come to Me and to My love. You will always find more than enough love, abundant love, in My arms.

My "Come hither look"....so not, my "Are we almost done yet?" look!

I had to chop this picture, as my younger sister didn't like herself in it. Typical, in a picture not everyone can be happy with it!

Hooray!!! A good family picture! I dare you to say it's not!

You have no idea how many we took!!!!
Don't you love how hidden I am. ;)

Moral: Don't piss off a black hole!

This composite photo provided by NASA shows A powerful jet from a supermassive black hole is blasting a nearby galaxy in the system known as 3C321, according to new results from NASA. This galactic violence, never seen before, could have a profound effect on any planets in the path of the jet and trigger a burst of star formation in the wake of its destruction.

Miracles

The Lord has done so many miracles for us this Christmas. It has been one amazing thing after another. Why? Duh He loves us...hee hee, but one reason I think to is almost every night we getting together as a home & prayer for not only supply, but for our friends, supporters, or whatever is on our hearts, for 15 minutes. I believe we are seeing the first hand results of prayer!
Wanna hear the big one??? :)
Someone we barely know, we went and saw today. He asked us a few questions about our work & then asks us for a contract. His wife comes up and names an amount, but he says "Oh no, I want to give them a lot more." And Lordy Lordy he did!!! I don't want to say more here, if you want to know....write me....hee hee...yes tough as that is; drop me a line!
IT'S THE DAY OF NO IMPOSSIBILITIES & MIRACLES! I AM SOOOO EXCITED!!!



Pray On!

Who's kid is it?

It's come that time of year...hectic photo taking!

Eva, my youngest sister & nephew Roy!






First batch of Christmas cookies!


My Dad coming to steal!!!


Me giving up on with holding


And finding joy in doing so!


Actually these are to prove how un-photogenic I am or maybe it's just the real me!

Remembering......

Remembering
I dream, melancholy at the windowsill
memories I will never tell
our passion in the last night hours,
our tearful goodbyes at down.
Mountains and rivers divide us.
I've given up hope for rain.
Divided - I dream of you today
I even embrace the pain.
Yuan Chen (775-831)

A Kiss & A Slap...Life?

After World War II, a general and his young lieutenant were traveling by train in England. When they boarded, the only seats left were across from a beautiful young lady and her grandmother. The soldiers sat facing the ladies. As the train pulled out it went through a long tunnel. For about ten seconds there was total darkness. In the silence of the moment, the train's passengers heard two unmistakable sounds—a kiss and a slap. Everyone on the train had their own perceptions as to what happened.

The young lady thought to herself, "I'm flattered that the lieutenant kissed me, but I'm terribly embarrassed that Grandmother hit him!"

The grandmother thought, "I'm aggravated that he kissed my granddaughter, but I'm proud she had the courage to retaliate!"

The general wondered, "My lieutenant showed guts to kiss the girl, but why did she slap me by mistake?"

The lieutenant was only one who knew what had happened. For, in the brief moment of darkness, he had seized the opportunity both to kiss a pretty girl and slap his general.

To brighten your day....

Rough day...simple thoughts...eternal comfort!

Safely through the storm I go
Cling to My Saviour's hands

Safely ore' the waves I soar
Trusting in His master plan

Ere the trouble falls around me
Ere He leads Me gentle on

Trusting none but Christ alone
Onward ever I shall go

M.C.

I'm not crazy! I'm just a little unwell. ;)

To Jesus:
Blessed be Your glorious name for ever: Let the whole earth be filled with Your glory; Amen, and Amen. I have put my trust in You, that I may declare all Your works. You are my King of old, working salvation in the midst of the earth. The day is Yours, the night also is Yours: You have prepared the light and the sun. You have set all the borders of the earth: You have made summer and winter. Unto You, O God, do I give thanks, unto You do I give thanks: For that Your name is near Your wondrous works declare.

From Jesus:
My love will never fail you. I've been through so much with you up until this point, I'm not going to give up now. Nothing can ever quench My love for you, for with each passing day, it only grows stronger.

I have loved you from the beginning, and I love you now, and I always will. My love never dies, but lives on and on. My love for you never grows old, but only stays fresh and new. It's never boring, but is alive and vibrant, pulsating and passionate! It never sleeps but only lives to awaken your heart. It's now, it's always, it's forever. My love is something you can lean on. It will give you strength to carry on. It will sustain you when you feel weary, and lift you when you feel you cannot go on.

My love longs for you, it weeps for you. I long to help you. I long to comfort you. My love believes in you. My love counts on you. Please don't ever doubt My love for you. I love you now, and I will love you forever.

Marilyn Monroe - I'm through with love

When she sings always puts so much into her songs; almost as if she is a part of the song. I like very few female singers, but she is one of my favorites.
The movie is "Some like it hot." Good movie!

Juliet
My only love sprung from my only hate!
Too early seen unknown, and known too late!
Prodigious birth of love it is to me,
That I must love a loathed enemy.

Act 2, Scene 2
ROMEO

But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks?
It is the east, and Juliet is the sun.
Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon,
Who is already sick and pale with grief,
That thou her maid art far more fair than she:
Be not her maid, since she is envious;
Her vestal livery is but sick and green
And none but fools do wear it; cast it off.
It is my lady, O, it is my love!
O, that she knew she were!
She speaks yet she says nothing: what of that?
Her eye discourses; I will answer it.
I am too bold, 'tis not to me she speaks:
Two of the fairest stars in all the heaven,
Having some business, do entreat her eyes
To twinkle in their spheres till they return.
What if her eyes were there, they in her head?
The brightness of her cheek would shame those stars,
As daylight doth a lamp; her eyes in heaven
Would through the airy region stream so bright
That birds would sing and think it were not night.
See, how she leans her cheek upon her hand!
O, that I were a glove upon that hand,
That I might touch that cheek!

JULIET

Ay me!

ROMEO

She speaks:
O, speak again, bright angel! for thou art
As glorious to this night, being o'er my head
As is a winged messenger of heaven
Unto the white-upturned wondering eyes
Of mortals that fall back to gaze on him
When he bestrides the lazy-pacing clouds
And sails upon the bosom of the air.

JULIET

O Romeo, Romeo! wherefore art thou Romeo?
Deny thy father and refuse thy name
Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love,
And I'll no longer be a Capulet.

ROMEO

[Aside] Shall I hear more, or shall I speak at this?

JULIET

'Tis but thy name that is my enemy;
Thou art thyself, though not a Montague.
What's Montague? it is nor hand, nor foot,
Nor arm, nor face, nor any other part
Belonging to a man. O, be some other name!
What's in a name? that which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet;
So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call'd,
Retain that dear perfection which he owes
Without that title. Romeo, doff thy name,
And for that name which is no part of thee
Take all myself.

Romeo & Juliet

ROMEO

[To JULIET] If I profane with my unworthiest hand
This holy shrine, the gentle fine is this:
My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand
To smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss.

JULIET

Good pilgrim, you do wrong your hand too much,
Which mannerly devotion shows in this;
For saints have hands that pilgrims' hands do touch,
And palm to palm is holy palmers' kiss.

ROMEO

Have not saints lips, and holy palmers too?

JULIET

Ay, pilgrim, lips that they must use in prayer.

ROMEO

O, then, dear saint, let lips do what hands do;
They pray, grant thou, lest faith turn to despair.

JULIET

Saints do not move, though grant for prayers' sake.

ROMEO

Then move not, while my prayer's effect I take.
Thus from my lips, by yours, my sin is purged.

JULIET

Then have my lips the sin that they have took.

ROMEO

Sin from thy lips? O trespass sweetly urged!
Give me my sin again.

JULIET

You kiss by the book.
