Today I feel like a....

Sorry this video isn't the greatest...I was having trouble finding a good one on YouTube. But anyway...I love this song. And her. I think she's the cutest and I wish I could play guitar like her.

Someday...

To brighten up this foggy day...

The Oregon Ducks may not have won the Rose Bowl...but this still makes me laugh...ah, Taylor Lautner...SNL is your calling...

and this is just so freakin' hilarious. :)

If you love SNL you should check out the rest of Taylor Lautner hosting....it's pretty funny. It is rated TV14 so some of them might have some inappropriate content...just to warn you. My favorites though are 'Lab Partners' and 'Show Choir'....and actually all the ones that Taylor Lautner is in. Who knew he could be so funny? :)

Oh Happy Day...

It's been one of those days...the kind where everything gets on your nerves, nothing goes the way it's supposed to, and you just want to throw something across the room. I haven't thrown anything yet though, so I guess I'm doing pretty good. :)

Anyway...ironically I was going through my music for something that wouldn't get on my nerves and landed on Tim Hughes. I only have one Tim Hughes song though and guess what it's called?

Happy Day :)

Anyway...that kind of made me rethink my mood by reminding me life's a lot bigger than just me. That's actually such a relief to be reminded of now and again. I mean, if all the world counted on me having it together every minute, I think I'd be in more than a bad mood.

So while I was hunting for that video to show you, I ran across this one, which I just found encouraging. I stinkin' love Tim Hughes. I went to a couple of his seminars at Soul Survivor last Summer and was just so encouraged by his heart for worshiping God and serving people.

I was thrilled recently when I discovered you can buy mp3 downloads of the seminars on Soul Survivor's website! I bought one a couple weeks ago...love it. I might buy another one tonight.

Anyway...I hope you all are having a "happy day" and remembering who we belong to and where we're going!

Australia

I went to see this film with my sister yesterday...it was breathtaking. It may be the best film I've seen since The Patriot or Lord of the Rings as far as how much it inspired and challenged me.

So beautifully filmed, showing the incredible scenery of Australia in a remarkable way. The characters were stunning. So much bravery and selfless sacrifice for one another. They're living life to the full. Even when it seems impossible to carry on...they keep going, even if it costs their life, to finish what they set out to do.

There's a quote early on in the movie...I wish I could remember it better. But Hugh Jackman's character, Drover, says something like, "All a person takes with them from life is their story, I'm just trying to live a good one." Wow, if I would live with that mindset and not get so concerned with all the material things of the world. It's the things we do, the lives we touch that really matters. What story are we telling through the life that we're living?

Well done Baz Luhrmann, in directing a truly epic masterpiece that can speak to all hearts and make us stop and think about where we're at and what we're doing. At least that's what this film did for me.

Memories on Video

I've really been missing everybody in England lately. I was going through some of my pictures and ran accross a couple videos that made me smile. I thought I'd post them on here. They may not mean as much to you as they do to me, they may be rather boring. But it brings back so many memories for me, I just wanted to share. :)

This video is from my last week in Cornwall. We had a BBQ at the beach as a going away party for me, Ben, and Stella as we were all leaving the same weekend. This is a game of ultimate frisbee, it was fun to watch them. :) They got so into it.

This is poor Ben while we were camping at Soul Survivor after we all bribed him to eat a red hot chili pepper. K, for the record...I had NO idea they were that hot!

Rainy Day Song...

I love this song. :)
