Go White Lightning!

Saturday is the big day! The Ultimate Tournament at Arlington has been much looked forward to by all players (well, at least by this one :)), and it is nearly here!
And come Thursday, team white, or White Lightning, will be ready!

Here is our team image:


Ka-chow! :)

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving to all, and to all!....Um...well, fill in the blank. :)
Have a very blessed Thanksgiving everyone!

Psalm 136, one of my favorite Thanksgiving passages:

1 Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good.
His love endures forever.

2 Give thanks to the God of gods.
His love endures forever.

3 Give thanks to the Lord of lords:
His love endures forever.

4 to him who alone does great wonders,
His love endures forever.

5 who by his understanding made the heavens,
His love endures forever.

6 who spread out the earth upon the waters,
His love endures forever.

7 who made the great lights—
His love endures forever.

8 the sun to govern the day,
His love endures forever.

9 the moon and stars to govern the night;
His love endures forever.

God is good, all the time!
May He bless and keep you and yours this Thanksgiving and beyond!

Winding down...

Well, I have been feeling a little slump-ish the last couple days but I think I'm coming out of it. I think it may have had something to do with all the build-up for the last couple of weeks, (I was kind of living for last weekend) and then when it passed, (had to be one of the quickest weekends of my life!) I felt a sort of emotional let-down...sounds weird, but I think it could have been what it was...anyway.
We had a wonderful, wonderful, weekend (11/14-16/09) with the Sherrill's, I'll have to post more about that later!

I finally finished watching the Masterpiece Classic version of Emma, and then we watched the Gwyneth Paltrow version again. I'm currently reading the book, and Gwyneth Paltrow and Romola Garai are vying for the position of Emma in my head. :)

11/19/09 Youtube Tonight

Here are some new picks!

In first place! A brand new trailer for the upcoming Lord of the Rings fanfilm, Born of Hope:


Then, a video that still gives me chills when I watch it, and pumps me for the release of THE CHOCOLATE LORD III!


Third, Chad and the gang are always pretty amusing...:)


A commercial for a new miracle product, 'Zing!'
Even Barack Obama endorses it!


And finally, The Lord of the Rings in 60 seconds! A favorite!

11/12/09 Youtube Tonight (a new feature)

Youtube Tonight will now be a weekly feature of my blog, highlighting five (ideally) of my favorite videos from Youtube. These may be fan or official trailers, comedy routines, commercials, music tracks, etc., whatever has struck my fancy lately. :)

Welcome to Youtube Tonight! Enjoy!

Song of the Month

Song: You Are Mercy
Artist: Jason Gray
Album: All the Lovely Losers

I’m a liar, You know it’s true
I’m a thief, and a beggar, too
But I’ve heard You can make me new

There’s a stranger I don’t want to see
In the mirror staring back at me
He’s not the man I hoped he’d be
So help me God, so help me God

You are Mercy
You are Mercy
Dear God have mercy on me

God it’s lonely in this crowded street
Where we touch but stay out of reach
And we’re all wounded but afraid to bleed

We pray for peace while our hands make war
We’ve had our fill and still we grab for more
We’ve forgotten what our hands are for
So help us God, so help us God

You are Mercy
You are Mercy
Dear God have mercy on us
Heaven help us
Please forgive us
Dear God have mercy on us

Let mercy fall like rain to wash
The sidewalks clean
To grow love green
Mercy not just to fall on me
But to set me free
And to flow through me

You are mercy
You are mercy
Dear God have mercy on me
Please forgive me
Heaven help me
Be Your mercy

Through my blinded eyes now see
Through my wounded heart now bleed
With my violent hands now heal
Through my broken life reveal
You are Mercy…

(Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done
Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done through me...)
