Psalm 122

I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the Lord. Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem.
Jerusalem is builded as a city that is compact together: Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of the Lord, unto the testimony of Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the Lord. 
For there are set thrones of judgment, the thrones of the house of David. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.
Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces.
For my brethren and companions' sakes, I will now say, Peace be within thee. Because of the house of the Lord our God I will seek thy good.

December 20th 2012- Pics

Today went much better than yesterday, so I am thankful for that. Right now I just have the coughs and a stuffy nose.

So today, I did some school, took care of my animals usual and took a jog/run. It was a pretty productive day for me.

I was going to post some pictures last night that I took this week, but my blog would let me post them right...Grrrr!

So here I am again to give you guys them; I don't have a lot to write ,so hopefully these will make up for it.  ;)

From top to bottom: Tonight's supper (salad and cheese sandwiches), close up of cheese sandwich, the other night's supper (cranberry sauce and goat soup- both homemade) along with my chai tea, having some fun with alphabet noodles, a picture of me with my new camera (sorry, it isn't the best, but it is the only one I have at the moment), a self-picture, Tabitha sorting out cranberries, another supper (goat leg), close up of cranberries, a supper again (pork from our pigs with cranberries on top), and last, but not least, my dog, named Thunder, giving me his 'Thunder look'.

Well, thanks for stopping by again! God bless you all!

December 19th 2012- Flu

I was going to write a blog post last night, but I didn't get around to it since time did not permit me to do so.
So...here I am again, starting this one.

Today I am getting better from the flu.

Here is how it all started, if you feel so keen to know, or maybe you don't care, but in that case, I am writing this any way, so look away.

The day before yesterday I got 'hit' suddenly with the flu while I was doing math.
And later in the day I laid down and drank some tea because it got worse. (Thanks to Iain for telling me to lay down and drink some tea! You are such a kind-hearted man!)

When I did finally get to bed that night, I woke up several times having a stuffy nose and throat- It was horrible.
I got up yesterday morning and ate breakfast which for me consisted of canned peaches and tea. (Everyone else ate cold cereal.)
I got a stomachache and I felt like throwing up and since the dogs needed to be taken out, my sister told me told me it might be a good idea to go outside if I felt sick. I did then go outside... and then felt more and more sick...until I promptly  throw up my breakfast...twice. I stayed out for a little longer to make sure I wasn't going to throw up a third time. I didn't.
I felt better and went back in.
Throughout yesterday, I had aches in my muscles and joints, had a headache, and also was queasy on and off a couple of times, but I didn't throw up again, thankfully.

Even through all this, I really don't have anything to complain about. I have a warm home, loving family, friends, brothers and sisters in Christ for encouragement, and so much more. I am so thankful for each and every one of you!! (Plus, this is the first sickness all year!)

I have made up my mind to try to write on this blog everyday; telling about my day and what I am thankful for and other things if I manage to get the time.

I'll leave it there for now. God bless you all and thanks for stopping by again! :) 

My Photography and some Jib-Jab

No worries, I am still alive! ;)

We spent around two weeks butchering four pigs and bringing their meaty carcases to the 'professional' people (for packaging and such), making scrapple, and all that goes along with it. It was a wonderful time with my family.

My Dad surprised me recently by getting me a Canon Rebel T3 camera!!! I am so happy!

So I guess I might as well share some new ones I took with my camera. :)

All of these are taken by the new camera and not edited, except the last three, which were taken by me with our older camera; those were edited in some way or another.

From top to bottom-- Thunder (my dog), one of our goats, a sunset from our property, fluffy kitten looking up, fluffy kitten yawning, black kitten looking at the camera, Tabitha (my sister) peeling shrimp, Tabitha concentrating on peeling shrimp, Mommy, next two are Tabitha as well, and then the last one is a sunset with Bible verse.  Well, I hope you enjoy them.

Good night everyone and thanks for stopping by again. :D
Peace out!
