Look!


 Before the throne of God above
I have a strong and perfect plea
A great high Priest who’s name is Love
Who ever lives and pleads for me
My name is graven on His hand
My name is written on His heart
I know that while in heaven He stands
No tongue can bid me thence depart
When satan tempts me to despair
and tells me of the guilt within
upward I look and see Him there
Who made an end of all my sin
Because a sinless Savior died
my sinful soul is counted free
For God the just is satisfied
to look on Him and pardon me
Hallelujah
Praise the One Risen Son of God.
Behold Him there, the risen Lamb
My perfect spotless righteousness
The great unchangeable I AM
The King of Glory and of grace
One in Himself, I cannot die
My soul is purchased by His blood
My life is hid with Christ on high
With Christ my Savior and my God



One of the best songs ever! [Added note: I have always said I would never ever post lyrics to a song...but this particular song is just too powerful and is among my favorites. Never say you are never going to do something...you end up doing it.]   Also, i didn't add a picture, like I said I always wanted to. So, here is one:

This is the best dad in the entire world...and he is MINE. The end. 




P.S -So the other day we were up at Locket Meadow playing football. I was extremely distracted because of the view.  The Pines and the Aspens seemed to be in a battle for dominance...it was a tie.  Well, I mentioned to Kayla how amazing it was and I said, (beware this is weird), "If that sight..those mountains, were a food...i wonder what it would be...I don't think I can think of anything that would be accurate." I was expecting Kayla to give me a list of mystical food from movies and books...but no.  She says, "It would be chow mien!!"  Now those mountains in their romance and fog and yellow are ruined...because they were called chow mien. Just kidding...they are still beautiful. The moral of that story is to never try to alike something so beautiful to food.The end.

October and Mutterings...

     I don't have anything in particular to say actually.  I just like the word "October"...it sounds so warm and full. It's a very satisfying word to say. You get excited about these things when it is the month you are in! Everything is turning color and is perfectly comfortable. Yep, I love October...October in Oakhurst..or as I call it, "Griffin's October"(Griffin was the street we lived on), was just as vivid. Hmm..so what happens this month....?  On the third was Emma's 16th birthday!! The next day she got her braces off...so now she is set.  I have a ton of friends who have birthdays in this month. You know who you are...:)  The top picture is of Emma and Hannah Dingman at their birthday party 2 years ago. The second is the mountains in the Fall dressed in Fog and Yellow...isn't it just shocking!? The third picture has to be one of my all time favorites..it is us with the Dingmans a couple years ago..All these pictures were taken in the same season. The last on is my family...it's kinda fuzzy.



    So...do any of you read this blog? I'm just wondering. I know who follows it, but I would like to know my audience in full...if I have one, that is:)
