I Focus Manually! family, fotos, photography | (0)
For a while I've been wanting an older manual focus SLR, a Minolta more specifically. So a couple Saturdays ago my mom and I went downtown to an antique store, I wanted to look for a camera and she had just never been to an antique store before (weird I know). They actually did have a Minolta SLR, but it wasn't the model I wanted the most and they were asking way too much for it. They also had a Canon SLR, an AE-1, but they wanted $174 for it! Later my mom says, "You know your dad has an ...

Mike Huckabee? family, fotos, politics | (13)
That is the question. This describes my feelings right now: A bit torn on Ron Paul. After doing a little more self-educating on the candidates I'm now on the line between Paul and Huckabee. If you'd like to try to sway me in either direction, feel free to voice your opinions in the comments. I went to the local Republican forum today. I had never been to one before but it was pretty much how I expected it to be. Romney's table had cookies and brownies. McCain didn't have a table at all, just 3 or 4 people standing behind signs. Paul had ...

The Christmas Post God, Holidays, christianity, family, food, fotos, roadtrip | (0)
I hope everyone had a great Christmas, and at least took some time to remember why we really celebrate it.

I admit I haven't spent as much time focused on Christ or in the celebration of His birth as I should. It's so easy to get caught up in earthly celebrations of gifts, food, and even that of family. Not that there's anything wrong ...

Praise God! God, family, loving | (1)
The doctors let Luke wake up today! His aunt Diana ("Mama D" to Luke), says he knew who they were and remembered the accident (to him it's like it happened yesterday). I don't think he can really talk yet though because he has a tracheotomy. It's such good news that they're not going to keep him so heavily sedated anymore, and it means he's healing enough to be awake! We're planning to go see him Sunday or Monday.Good news about my mom's cousin who had the heart attack too. They took him off of the ventilator today and he's breathing ...

Bad Things Come In…..Fours? God, family | (0)
1. My cousin, Luke gets in very serious car accident.2. Our pastor falls down an 8-foot embankment.3. My great-aunt has a stroke.4. My mom's cousin has a heart attack.It's everything all at once and just so overwhelming. Times like this you can't help but wonder why; I need to read The Problem of Pain again. I know we need to just have faith an know that God is in control, but at the same time I feel so helpless.The most serious is still Luke. Bro. Crabtree is still recovering, but God has healed his major injuries. My great-aunt is doing ...
