A song I wrote

I have been writing songs for about 5 years.  I just recently figured out how I can get them on here recently.  It is just an audio file and only me singing.  Nothing fancy.  I don't play any instruments, or I'd tried to make it sound better.  Anyway, just thought I'd share it with you.  The words are below the video box.



"Entrust Yourself"

Chorus

Entrust yourself to the One Who judges justly.
Give your life to the One Who holds you dear.
Realize that He is always with you.
Never give in.

Verse 1

Never give up, never give in
Though you must start all over again.
Though you may fall, though you may fail,
Run to His side.  He will prevail.

Chorus

Verse 2

Hard times will come.  Hard times will go.
Satan will stand against you as foe.
Run to the Father.  Run to the Son.
Run the good race; it’s already won!

Chorus (repeat)

Tag (last line of Chorus twice)

What I was up to yesterday...



I have 4 boys.
They are all rough and tumble.

This trampoline belongs to boy #3.

He did this to the net one day.




Now I have fixed several more minor tears in the netting:




 (Some of which could not be fully repaired.)


But they have out done themselves.

I told them, "The net is there 'just in case';
it is NOT there to rebound off of."

I took pictures as I made progress:








This is NOT the kind of craftiness/sewing
that I particularly enjoy so...

Here's to hoping!!!

Thread Crochet Ponytail Holders Series (1)



CROCHET ACCESSORIES FOR KIDS


I made these using small ponytail holders.

The patterns are from a book called:
Ponytail Band Toppers:  Ten Designs to Crochet
by Liz Edmondson

This particular pattern is "Spring Lace" (pattern #1 in the book)




I used size 10 thread with a size 6 (1.80mm) thread crochet hook.

3 more ponytail patterns
are on their way!

COURAGEOUS



If any of you possibly can,
go see this movie!

It will only be out for a few
days in the theater.

This is probably the best movie
I've seen.  It makes a person
really think about what it means
to be a parent and to do an
excellent job in the sight of 
God Almighty.

Here's a preview:




I so hope you will make time for this.
It is more than worth the price
of admission (and I never think
that with today's trumped up prices).
