My favorite little Christmas book!

I love thrift shoppes!
Seriously, I haunt them!

And a thrift shoppe is where I found this darling little specimen!

I thought it looked just cute at first, but then...

See? How cute is that?

...and that!

Isn't he cute? Look, joyfully bringing gifts to his true love, with his little page offering a towel too! ah!

The Lords A-Leaping are a hoot.

"Go home, go home, go home with Bonny Jean..." (Brigadoon)

Aw,I love the illustrations! So vintag-y and ever so festive, even if the guy looks like a girl at times...but hey, its Disney...

Hope you all have a good week! I will try to post more later, but I have been so busy lately:0

TX army base shooting

Hey everyone!

I just wanted to let ya all know to be praying.

In a Texas army base one of OUR men (and possibly a couple others) attacked and killed many.

I'm not sure what details are but I'm sure if you look on the news it won't be too hard to find.

So just be praying for everyone there and those who have loved ones there!

Thanks.

God bless,

*News From A Land Far Far Away*~

Hello,

So for a long time I haven't really written anything really interesting so I thought

I would actually write something.

So for those of you who would like to see pictures of our trip I will post a few

on this post. YAY lol

And for those of you who have been reading my blog and just waiting for

me to actually say something interesting I think that the following might be

interesting enough for you...if not...I'm sorry. haha

I have another blog as some of you may know and it's for girls only. On there I

write bible studies and such. Well I was thinking that I should starting posting

whatever I post on there on here as well...but I will make them able to be read

by boys so all my guy friends on here may read as well. :)

So here is a post that I recently made on Self-control...I hope you like it!

"Then come together so that Satan will not tempt you

because of your lack of self-control."

Corinthians 7:5

Wow. Our lack of self-control? Ouch.

Do we really lack self-control, and if we do what areas of our lives

do we lack? We all lack some self-control sometimes. When your little

brother does something to annoy you

and you throw a fit calling him a jerk, I'd say that's lacking self-control.

When your team looses you start calling the other team cheaters and such

even though they didn't cheet.

Your just mad you lost and need to get it out, right?

Okay, so maybe you don't need to let it out like that. No calling names.

Counting to 10 helps a lot...seriously....it does.

Just take a second, sit down, breathe, and think about WHY you are frustrated.

Really, if you think about it, most of us lack a LOT of self-control.

How else could you respond to the situation?

Annoying little brother-

"Hey Joe that's really bothering me, could you stop or do it

somewhere else, please?"

You could also consider just moving yourself. Take turns. It doesn't

help you by getting worked up about something that could so easily be fixed.

Another thing you could think about is why does whatever hes doing annoy you?

Lost Game-

Just relax. Thats the key. Stay relaxed. I know I sound like some therapist or

something...but it's true!

If you handle things with anger and don't think, things may get worse than

they really need to.

Hurting other people isn't the answer either. If you are frustrated for a

good reason, such as they are hurting you, then talk to a grown up or elder or

go to the person directly and ask them nicely to stop. If things do not

end then it would be a good idea to ask for help from an elder you trust.

And everyone looses sometimes. People see a good sport when you are okay

with the loss and keep working hard to turn it into a win!

There are tons of things that we can get overly obsessed with and thats

something we need to be careful of and watch ourselves on.

In the first part of the verse it says " Come together".

What does that mean? And your reply is, "Well duh! It means come together,

am I right or am I right?"

Well yeah, your right. :) But lets look a little deaper into it, k?

If all of us lack self-control...what will "coming together" do?

Think of it this way-

Satan is this super big buff bad guy who is trying to prevent you

from getting somewhere and break you, mkay?

You trust God. You love God. But you have made some mistakes. Doesn't

sound like it will be too easy for you, now does it?

Now think of it this way-

Satan- big buff guy

You and a TON of other people- who are all followers of Christ! :D

It sounds like you got a lot better chance, doesn't it? Plus you all have

this SUPER AWESOME God to lead you!!

So when it says to come together it meens encourage, love, give advice,

take advice to the others around you. Sometimes it could be a little more

general. God calls us to come together to fight all the evil that is put

before us.

For a little more on the subject pick up your bible and look

up the following verses (feel free to do some of your own research)-

2 Peter 1:5-7

Galations 5:22-23

Please right down any thoughts that you have had along this read, or even

later on in the day! Also, we would love to see any verses that you might

have found while doing some studies. :)

Anyways...so thats it! Please let me know what you think. I am always open to

your comments!

Okay, so now it's time for pictures! I am not able to post pictures with people i

n them so all the pictures that I post will be scenic. I'm sorry, but thats just the

way it goes.

I hope you enjoy!

(The following cannot be coppied. They are my property and you must have

my permission to use them.)

I hope you enjoyed the pictures! I think this is my longest entry ever of close. lol

Well I should go now but I hope y'all have a wonderful day!
