Patrick Gates to be the new 24 villain.

Ted Poe tells it like it is

So much to my siblings' dismay I have my own wheels now. Of course it's not that fact that they are disgusted with, it's the vehicle I have they don't like. Of course it's only temporary but Savanna is not amused. Now I know what you are asking..."Lucky! You ever take it off any sweet jumps?"

Crucified with Christ


As I look back on what I thought was living
I'm amazed at the price I choose to pay
And to think I ignored what really mattered
Cause I thought the sacrifice would be too great
But when I finally reached the point of giving in
I found the cross was calling even then
And even though it took dying to survive
I've never felt so much alive.


For I am crucified with Christ and yet I live
Not I but Christ that lives within me
His Cross will never ask for more than I can give
For its not my strength but His
There's no greater sacrifice
For I am crucified with Christ and yet I live


As I hear the Savior call for daily dying
I will bow beneath the weight of Calvary
Let my hands surrender to His piercing purpose
That holds be to the cross but sets me free
I will glory in the power of the cross
The things I thought were gain I count as loss
And with His suffering I identify
And by His resurrection power I am alive


For I am crucified with Christ and yet I live
Not I but Christ that lives within me
His Cross will never ask for more than I can give
For its not my strength but His
There's no greater sacrifice
For I am crucified with Christ and yet I live


And I will offer all I have
So that His cross is not in vain
For I found to live is Christ
And to die is truly gain


For I am crucified with Christ and yet I live
Not I but Christ that lives within me
His Cross will never ask for more than I can give
For its not my strength but His
There's no greater sacrifice
For I am crucified with Christ and yet I live

a dark chocolate day

Well it's definitely been one of those "dark chocolate days". If you are a female you probably know exactly what I mean by that and if you're not, well the best I can tell you is that for absolutely no reason whatsoever you feel sad-ish and eating dark chocolate always helps. On this particular dark chocolate day I took four ibuprofens in a four hour period so that probably helped too.

I've been housesitting this week. Okay so really what needed sitting was not the house but the bird and cats. My aunt and uncle and cousins went on vacation and asked me to keep on eye on Squeak and her adorable babies Jazz & Pixie, Oreo the outside cat and Pickles the bird.




They came home today so I am back in my own bed tonight yay! I must really be getting old and a wuss because I'm having more and more trouble adjusting to sleeping in different houses.

Tomorrow I take my sister off to Big Sandy for a month. Oh well she is staying for a month, I'm just driving her there and coming back. Dear Hannah is being lent to be by her wonderful mom as a traveling buddy so I won't be lonesome on my way back and no bad guys feel tempted to snag me. ;) Anyhow I will be driving all day tomorrow. Fun.

In case you haven't noticed I added a cool little gadget to the right side called WIMZI. Using WIMZI you can IM me (if I'm logged into AIM). Sweet huh?

A Song for Unsung Heroes

by Pamela & Joseph Martin

Sing a song for unsung heroes,
those who lay their dreams aside
choosing honor more than glory
pledging faith with quiet pride

Those whose uniform is courage
yet are unashamed of tears
finding in their love of freedom
power stronger than their fears

Sing a song for unsung heroes
Sing from sea to shining sea
As the faithful sang before you
Sing the song of liberty

Let us sing for unsung heroes
those who answer freedom's call
those united by one purpose
all for one and one for all

We will sing and not be silenced!
We will keep our voices strong
for as long as we keep singing
freedom's cry will still live on

Sing a song for unsung heroes
Sing from sea to shining sea
As the faithful sang before you
Sing the song of liberty
Sing the song of liberty!

Our father's God to Thee
Author of Liberty
To Thee we sing
Long may our land be bright
With freedom's Holy Light
Protect us by Thy Might
Great God our King

Let us sing the song of freedom
sing the song of liberty

America!
