The Gun

 
The gun has played a critical role in history. An invention that has been praised and denounced… Served both hero and villain alike… and carries with it moral responsibility. To better understand the gun is to better understand history.

PSALM 2009

Obama is the shepherd I did not want.
He leadeth me beside the still factories.
He restoreth my faith in the Republican party.
He guideth me in the path of unemployment for his party's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the bread line,
I shall fear no hunger, for his bailouts are with me.
He has anointed my income with taxes,
My expenses runneth over.
Surely, poverty and hard living will follow me all the days of my life,
And I will live in a mortgaged home forever.

Birthday Celebration

Since we've been so busy we celebrated my birthday a week late. My sisters cooked my favorite meal: braised cabbage, brussel sprouts, rice, and sweet meat squash. Mr. Weese butchered and cooked the goat and Rebekah made me a sugar free cake. It was very good! Thank you all! 


All I had on my wish list were books and I got most of them which I'm very excited about! With life getting busier I don't know when I'll get to reading them but I'll try to make some time. They were all either farming related or Christian literature. 


Lydia made the crown for me out of pipe cleaners. There's a 22 on the front, a horse because I ride, an egg since I'm getting chickens, and a bow and arrow. Quite creative.

Concerts

The concerts are over now! (big sigh of relief) All went fairly well and the audience liked it. I enjoyed singing once again with the Lynden Choral Society, about my 10th time now. We took this picture of Sarah and I after the concert Saturday night.

Happy Birthday Laura!

Phil and I gave her this Pink Lady revolver. She loved it!
