Movies

I don't know about you, but I find it awfully hard to go into a video store and find a decent movie to watch nowadays. I'm more disturbed by the pictures on the movie covers and have bad dreams just from those alone. I don't even like taking my kids into the movie stores because of those disturbing covers. It's like there are more and more horror movies coming out than ever before. Why do people want to watch shows of crazy people cutting human bodies and all that blood and gore and fear? I don't get it! I could never sleep at night watching those kind of movies.



Roger & I enjoy watching a good movie but are finding it harder and harder to find one. We love sitting down on a weekend and catching a family flick with our kids but those are harder to find as well. That's why we like PLUGGED IN ONLINE! Plugged In is a movie/video/music/TV review sight from a Christian perspective and we appreciate it so much. We go on it anytime we want to watch a movie and we check to see what these Christian reviewers think about it. I enjoy their input so much. To check out their sight, go to www.pluggedinonline.com You'll be glad you did.



A few movies that we've seen recently and are well worth noting, are:



Facing the Giants
Is about a coach and a football team who find out about what it means to have faith in God, in each other and trying their best. It's a wholesome story about courage and being a team. It has incredible lessons for the kids and about life itself. Definitely worth watching!







One Night with the King
Is a story about Queen Esther. Other than a couple of slight differences from the true story, definitely one well put together. A job well done.









The Second Chance
Some might be a little uncomfortable with this movie because it's about a church in the ghetto. A great story line and Michael W. Smith does an excellent job in this movie. It makes a person really think about why you're doing the things you're doing in church. Is it about show or is it about the heart. Good movie!!








Broken Bridges
I couldn't find a picture of this movie so I'll just tell you a little about it. It's a movie with country singer Toby Keith and a guest appearance by Willie Nelson. I really enjoyed it very much. A single mom goes back to her home town with her daughter who meets up with her father who's never had a part in her life. It's a story about mistakes and another chance. It's wholesome and portrays some very real things about life and teenagers.




Invincible
This is a story about a mid aged man who tries out for a football team. He's a bartender and some of the movie takes place in the bar which reminds me of the TV show Cheers. Other than the bar lifestyle, we really enjoyed this movie - the producers did a good job at keeping it fairly clean and good for (most) of the family.








I am David
In this movie a young boy escapes from a concentration camp to find his mother. We watched it with 2 of our kids and it brought up some interesting questions about the Nazis and the Jews from years ago. Definitely a drama that could've been real life and we enjoy watching those with our kids.

There are other movies we've enjoyed but I can't think of any more offhand. These are a few we've recently watched and have thoroughly enjoyed and have no problem in recommending them to others to watch. I know I've really enjoyed all the movies that have come out by Christian Author, Janette Oke - Love Comes Softly, Love's Enduring Promise and Love's Long Journey. They've been so good although Roger hasn't enjoyed them as much as I have. :-)

Another website that is definitely well worth looking at and ordering movies from is Feature Films for Families - www.familytv.com We've really enjoyed getting movies from this company and passing them on to others as well. They have all kinds of movies that are not full of profanity, sexuality or gruesome violence. Very wholesome, enjoyable movies for the whole family.

Thank you God for those that have made such wonderful efforts to bring us some good, wholesome entertainment. Bless them for these efforts and I pray that those watching would have changed hearts. Amen.

The Breath of God

I had come across this verse in the Bible when I was searching for the perfect verse. I found it! It was just the perfect verse for this photo.

When you think of the breath of God, God being over all the earth, and His breath covering it - it's as beautiful as the frost. Just think of that verse very deeply - "By the breath of God, frost is given." It gives me tingles of awe down my spine.

Up at the lake, this one particular winter the frost was just beautiful too. The trees and the roads were just white. In these pictures the frost was already beginning to come off but the winter wonderland is still incredibly vivid. The sky was so blue. These were taken first thing in the morning when the sun had just come up - that is when the sky is at it's bluest.
This cross is at the top of Memorial hill. It's always amazing to me the different colors of the sky. When you turn towards the sun, the colors are much whiter but in the other two pictures when I have my back to the sun, the colors of the sky are the richest blues. It makes pictures so unique.


I love it when God paints. His paintings are out of this world. His handiworks are done by His Hand alone and are the absolute best ever. I just can't seem to get enough of trying to capture the beauty that He displays for all creation to witness, to see. What an amazing God we have!

Obituary of Common Sense

This was sent to me by email and I wanted to share it with you - kinda makes you think a little.

Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as knowing when to come in out of the rain, why the early bird gets the worm, that life isn't always fair, and maybe it was my fault.

Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend more than you earn) and reliable parenting strategies (adults, not children, are in charge).

His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place. Reports of a six-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition.

Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job they themselves failed to do in disciplining their unruly children. It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer Panadol, sun lotion or a Band Aid to a student - but could not inform the parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion.

Common Sense lost the will to live as the Ten Commandments became contraband, Churches became businesses, and criminals received better treatment than their victims.

Common Sense took a beating when you couldn't defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault.

Common Sense finally gave up the will to live after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little in her lap, and was promptly awarded a huge settlement.

Common Sense was preceded in death by his parents, Truth and Trust; his wife, Discretion; his daughter, Responsibility; and his son, Reason. He is survived by three stepbrothers; I Know My Rights, Someone Else is to Blame, and I'm A Victim. Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone.

If you still remember him, pass this on. If not, join the majority and do nothing.

O Lord God, teach us to remember Your Words and Your instructions to us. Forgive us Father when we neglect to use the common sense that You've given us and begin to live by the world's standards rather than Yours. Give us the strength and the courage God to stand strong in the faith through the power of the Holy Spirit. Give us wisdom to teach our children Your ways as instructed in Your Word, the Bible. Help us all to come to a complete understanding of what Your Son Jesus Christ did when He died on the cross to give us the gift of salvation. He didn't stay on that cross, He rose again and is now in Heaven preparing a place for us. Teach us Father, help us to be open to Your guidance and direction. We know You will never leave us - You will always be there for us when we choose to follow You. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.

Goodbyes

Today I said goodbye to my good friend Colleen as her and her family went back to Bolivia. It's so hard for me to believe that I was there. Now I know where they're going and where they'll be flying. It was so different visiting with them here this time around because now I could relate to what they were saying and I knew who they were talking about. It was sooooo good having them out here.
Their adopted boy Jackson got lots of attention. He was sooo adorable!! We loved having him over.
Colleen's been such a good friend, a great kindred spirit. We had some wonderful time together. She had done a great scrapbook page of me and her and of my visit to her in Bolivia. This picture was taken of us at her home. I'll miss her so much, as usual. I thank God for her and for bringing her family into my life so many years ago. God please keep her family safe travelling back to Bolivia. Jake & Dorothy Fehr went back to Bolivia at the same time, on the same flight. That is so special.

I'm sorry Jordan and Joelle - I didn't get any pictures of you when you were out here this time. I can't believe it!! Me, the picture lady, didn't even take a family picture of them this time. How bad is that!! The only picture I have of Larry & Colleen here is the one above that I took of them at our house. That's it!! Oh well! That's the way it went this time.

God, thank you for good friends. Thank you for kindred spirits. No matter how far we are away from each other, Your Holy Spirit brings us together in prayer and in heart. Thank you for that. Be with them Lord, until we meet them again. Watch over them in Bolivia and keep them safe. Thank you for each friend you have brought through my life, for each and every one. Be with them all. Amen.

Kids & Coke

Our poor dog!! He gets quite the treatment from our kids at some time. Here the kids had put socks on Coke - he wasn't too impressed. But we love him - we'd miss him a lot if he wasn't with us. He has brought much joy to our family and our kids. He's good at keeping me company during the day when the house is empty and quiet.

Here the girls are bing big helpers at The Barn Playhouse during the time that Brandon was acting in the play during their Dinner Theatre. Here they were in the Craft Barn.
Brandon doesn't like to get his picture taken but the odd time we do get one of him. Here Mrs. G. had taken a surprise photo of him while they were visiting us up at the lake on Christmas Eve. He loves the sledding and the snow. I don't think it matters how old boys (men) get, there's always some little boy left in them. :-)


On our drive to the lake, there was a couch sitting in the ditch. I just had to take a picture of it. It was a good spot because if you sat on the couch, you had a wonderful view of the valley.


Thank you God for times with our family. Fro the laughs, the talks, the sad times, the joyous times. They're all good times and the good Lord has many things to teach us during those times.

Aftermath of Blizzard 2006

Here are some pictures of the aftermath of the blizzard that we had here. Snow just stuck everywhere. The mound in the snow is a vehicle buried under a drift.
At the school, the drifts were covering the windows. It was incredible! The snow piles from the parking lot were as high as the roof.
People had snow drifts and snow piles up to their windows and doors. It looked like they had tunnels going to their front door.



But it was so picturesque! Definitely postcard pictures out in this winter wonderland. It was really quite beautiful in spite of the narrow streets and rock hard drifts. 

Blizzard of 2006

Worst blizzard in 50 years just hit us! WOW! What a doozer!! This is Roger doing some shovelling outside during one of the worst parts. We couldn't see past our front railing our window. It was unreal! We went for a couple block walk as a family and what an experience! We wanted to experience this blizzard firsthand - definitely something our kids will never forget! We're walking in the middle of the street, not seeing a thing - no houses, no cars (which we often walked into as they were parked on the side of the street) and we could hardly even see each other. We had to hold hands cause otherwise we lost sight. It was so easy to get disoriented and mix-up in our directions. I can't imagine what it was like for someone trying to drive in this. People were stranded in their vehicles for 4-6 hours and only a block from a gas station. People had no idea where they were. I sure was glad to be back home safe and warm.
The next day, I went out and took pictures after the streets were cleared. There were walls of snow piles everywhere! Vehicles were 3/4 hidden under snow drifts.
It was so beautiful though! With all the snow on the trees - it was gorgeous! A winter wonderland. But it took a couple of days for people to get cleared out of their driveways and farmyards. We had up to 25 cm in 24 hours.
Between Osler and Saskatoon, 36 cars were counted in the ditches the next morning. People just couldn't see. I spoke to this one man who was driving from Saskatoon to Warman (20 km apart) and he threw up out the window continually as he drove because he was so disoriented it made him severely sick. He had to work hard at not passing out continually while he slowly drove home. There have only been 3 deaths reported from the blizzard of people who left their vehicle to walk somewhere.

Thank you God that it wasn't much worse than this. Thank you for warmth and power and shelter. Thank you that there were no power outages or furnace breakdowns in our home. Thank you for keeping us safe and warm. Thank you for the many, many good samaritans, good people that helped others and provided shelter for those who were stranded. Thank you for my family and that we're together. 

SASKATOON'S NEW YEAR'S BABY

I'm so excited! We have a New Year's Baby and I know her!! We're friends with the family and they attend our church. Beth & I also are in Bible Study together.
This child is most darling!! She is just perfect!! Her name is Grace. She's famous you know - she had her family's pictures on the front of the Star Phoenix on Jan. 3 issue.
Her complexion is so clear! Her tiny hands and feet are priceless. What a beautiful creation of God!



Thank you God for babies! They are most precious and special! You've created us individually and so uniquely in our mother's womb! How awesome are your works O Lord!! Thank you God!

Christmas at the Lake

For the first time since we've had our cottage at the lake, we were able to have Christmas up there this year. What a blessing that was!! We haven't seen this much snow so early in the year here ever - and then to have so much before Christmas too. It was great!

We had some pretty special visitors that week which included Mr. & Mrs. G. - 2 very very special people in our life. They brought some of their kids up for some excellent winter fun on Christmas Eve.

On Boxing Day, we had some of the Mont Nebo church family up for an afternoon of sledding and fellowship. It was a great day - the weather was beautiful and it was so good to get to know this extended part of our family more. I think they all had a lot of fun! We were trying out all parts of the hill for sledding and also taking everyone for rides behind the snowmobile with the GT and the sled. The kids took turns giving each other rides. Made for a great afternoon of huge smiles, lots of laughs, snow face washes and cold cheeks but warm hearts from these great new friendships.


Christmas Day began with very excited kids but never too excited to overlook reading the Christmas story. It's our tradition to begin the day with the reading of the Christmas story from the Bible. We all look forward to it - having that special family time with this Bible reading and prayer time to remind us what the day is really about and not just about opening and receiving gifts. It's a reminder of God's greatest gift of all to mankind - the sending of His Son down to earth to give us the gift of salvation and eternal life for all who believe on Jesus. What a wonderful day and a wonderful promise.

God gave me a very special gift on this Christmas Day. I was struggling in my heart with having to share this day with others and did not want to leave. We always have special time with Roger's family on Christmas Day as well each year. But this year I just wanted to have time with my own family on Christmas. I gave it to God and went with a willing heart and God blessed me. On our drive to Roger's mom's home, we saw a bull moose sitting in the clearing beside the road. I've never seen a bull moose before and I got some great shots!! He was beautiful!! I'll post them once I get them developed. He was too far away to take pics with the digital camera so I had to use my long lens. Thank you God!! If I hadn't been obedient to what God wanted me to do on this Christmas Day, I wouldn't have been blessed with seeing the moose because had we stayed home, we wouldn't have driven down this road. So, I considered that a gift from God on Christmas Day on top of the wonderful gift of spending time with family on Christmas.

On New Year's Eve, we had some more friends come share the day. It was a wonderful time with them. As couples, we went on a really good snowmobile ride for a couple of hours. Later in the evening, we got to go down to the lake and watch fireworks. That was so cool!! Another great day!

Thank you God for my family and our extended families, mine and Roger's. I pray that You would bless them all Lord and that they would all be drawn closer to You. Thank You for the extended family of believers all around us Lord and the special times we can spend together. Bless them all Lord and be with them. Thank you God for our health so that we can enjoy these special times - I especially thank you for giving me back my health and making me stronger. Thank you God for the many many blessings you have bestowed on us. You have blessed us Lord so that we may in turn be a blessing to others. Thank you for this wonderful place we can come to and share with others. Thank You for the many special people you have brought through our lives. God, may You touch each and every heart and draw them all closer to You. Bless us all in the coming New Year. Amen


 

The Barn Playhouse

Our son Brandon, was in a play at the Barn Playhouse this year. They just finished their last performance, #17, on Dec. 17. It was for their Christmas Dinner Theatre. He absolutely loved it!! I've never seen him so excited about something before! He did such a good job! He played the part of a 17 year old runaway boy who got mistaken by the town sheriff as 'Mack's' grandson whom Mack hadn't seen in years. Mack knew he wasn't his grandson but didn't let on. The sheriff, 'Beebo' led everyone else to believe that 'Ryan', Brandon, was 'Mack's' grandson. Brandon sure enjoyed these 2 men in this play - they were great 'grandfather/father' figures for him - they had a lot of laughs together. God, thank you for these 2 men who blessed Brandon in this season of his life. I know he'll never forget them and the friendship that they developed over this short time. Bless them greatly for being a good example for Brandon and the rest of the actors on the set.

He loved acting together with this super bunch of people. It sure gave him some extra self confidence. Here he was dressed up like Ceasar in the Christmas play telling this young guy to go and tax the world. It was hilarious!! Thank you God for all the kids that Brandon had fun with in this play. Thank you for the example he was to them - help him God to be the person that You want him to be and that he'll be a good example that younger kids can look up to.

Here's the whole bunch! They all made some good friendships and had a blast working together for 2 months on this production. Everyone did an incredible job!! Vicki, the director pictured on the left, does an incredible job with the actors and makes memorizing seem really easy. The way she has them practicing, Brandon never did any memorizing at home and by the time the performances came, he had the whole script memorized! Unreal!! He had one of the lead roles so he had ALOT to memorize. It was a big commitment (over 1900 km of driving) but it was worth every minute and every mile. :-) Thank you God for all of these people who were a part of this production. I pray that each one will come to have a personal relationship with you if they haven't already. Draw them all closer to You God and watch over them and bless each one of them. Thank you for Vicki and the encouragement she was to Brandon and for giving him this opportunity.

I think Brandon loved these 2 old ladies the best! They were wonderful 'grandmother' figures for him. He made them laugh alot and they also made him laugh too. As Ethel, 'Miss Alice' would put it - they had a hoot!! God, bless these dear ladies for loving Brandon and having such a fun time with him. He'll never forget them. Thank you for the example they set for him and the friendship they built together.

It's definitely an experience that Brandon'll never forget! I think we're onto something here - now he thinks maybe he wants to go into acting. He'd sure be good at it. I think he'd also make a great comedian, or a sports or weather announcer with his incredible improv voice - yes, he'd make a super improv comedian too. It's definitely a gift God's given him and I pray that he will use it to be a blessing to others and to bring glory to God. He already has in dramas at church and now in The Barn Playhouse.

Thank you God for Brandon and for this wonderful opportunity he had. 

I Love My Church

I LOVE MY CHURCH! Church is my home. I love going to church, singing in church, meeting my friends at church, serving God at my church, finding support and encouragement and comfort at my church, praying with people in my church.....I LOVE MY CHURCH! In the Bible it talks about not giving up meeting together with other believers and to never stop praying together and having fellowship together. That's what I love about my church! It's my family! And if I miss going one Sunday, for the rest of the week it feels like something is missing, it feels like I missed out - like I don't have the strength I need to go into a new week. That what church does for me, it gives me strength for the week to take on anything that comes into my path. It keeps me from becoming too discouraged and depressed and to know that I've gone with God's blessing into the week and that I've started the week off right by taking a day of rest. For me that includes taking that time to go to church each week and having that worship time with other believers and listening to God's Word through the message given by the pastor and gaining wisdom by it. It's encouraging, uplifting, comforting, exhalting, - it pumps me up for the week! It's the best drug out there - I can't do without it!! :-)

Church isn't just about the building...it's about the people. When Jesus is talking about the church in the Bible, he's not talking about a building, he's talking about people. The people, Christian people, make up the church. It's a family of believers and they're all over the world. The building is just a common place where we meet with other believers to sing, pray, have fellowship, and worship God together. It's also a place where we can eat together and do other wholesome activities together as a family who believe in God. I LOVE IT!!
In this picture, we're all dressed up in Bible times costumes performing our Easter drama production one year. It's so great to sing, act and perform together bringing glory to God.

Church is also a place where our kids, any kids, can develop their talents and gifts to the glory of God. Whether it's singing, playing a musical instrument, computer work, artwork, working with kids, or carpentry....whatever their gift is, this is a place they can use their giftings to be a blessing to others and to serve God with. It's a place where kids feel safe. It's a place where they can come and play with their friends, meet with their friends and grow up together. Kid's clubs, Sunday school, and Youth groups are excellent aspects of the church that kids of all ages love. In this picture here the kids are singing in the Christmas kids choir and blessing everyone listening. They were great!!

Another incredibly special aspect of church that I LOVE is getting together with a group of ladies to talk about God and to study His Word, the Bible, through Bible study and prayer. That has been the most impacting part of my life - being involved in a Bible study group. When you are studying God's word together with other believers, you develop a bond like no other. These friendships are everlasting frienships. There's nothing on this earth that you can take with you to Heaven when you die. BUT, there's those friendships with people who believe in God and His Son Jesus who came down to this earth to die for our sins and who rose again and is now living in heaven preparing a place for us. Those are everlasting friendships and that is the only thing you can take with you to Heaven. All the earthly things are left behind here on this earth and will eventually be destroyed. Nothing lasts forever except for those relationships that you make with others who believe in God and His Son, Jesus. It is only through Jesus that we have acceptance into Heaven - if you don't believe in Jesus, you don't go to heaven, it's as simple as that.

We'd just finished a Bible study, More of Christ, with this group of ladies. It was incredible. It was about the Beautitudes - I talk about it in a previous blog. There was this one lady, Sara, who was in the study with us - she's from England. She's now moved back there but she took an extra copy of the Bible study with her and would like to take that study with a Christian group of ladies out there. So now, someday when God takes me to England, I can visit her and I'll have a place to stay. :-) God brings all sorts of people through our lives - some for long term and others just for a season but it's always for a specific reason that He brings those people into our lives. I again thank God for each one. We are to be a blessing to each other and to encourage each other in the Lord. Thank you God for Sara.....and all the others ladies you've brought through my life. I have learned something from each one.

I LOVE MY CHURCH! It's a line that is often used by our pastor at church and it's something that sticks with me. I love the people, I love the music, I love the kids, I love the everlasting friendships, I love the prayer, I love the worship times, I love knowing that there are always people praying for me, I love the fact that I can always be open and honest, I love, I love, I love my church. Is the church perfect?? Are the people perfect?? NO!! We are all human beings born with a tendancy to make wrong choices, say the wrong thing or look at someone the wrong way. We are human - we all make mistakes and we all need forgiveness. That's also why I love my church because we can talk and work things through, pray together, ask for wisdom together and forgive each other. It's a place where you feel you belong, where you are part of a large worldwide family. It's home!! It's my family!! I love it!!

My home church is Cornerstone Church - has been for 18 years. Their website is www.cornerstone-church.ca You're all welcome anytime!! 

2007 SK Scenic Calendar

I'm so incredibly excited!! My prayers have been answered, a dream has come true, God has given me a desire of my heart!!! Get the picture yet?? :-)

I've always dreamed of having my pictures in a calendar and now they are! 6 of mine and God's photos were chosen to be shown in this 2007 SK Scenic Calendar. I say they're God's photos too because if He hadn't given me the gift of photography, then these photos wouldn't be in here in the first place.

The front page photo of the northern lights is not mine - it is a photo of Dennis Chamberlain who is a photographer in the Candle Lake are - his work is displayed at the Timberland Gallery at Candle Lake. His website is www.dennischamberlain.com

The yellow field is a photo that I took near Shellbrook, SK. Near Martins Lake is where I took the photo of the horseriders rounding up their cattle. Warman is featured in the calendar with the photo that I took of the frost with the red barn just on the west side of Warman across from the graveyard at the edge of town. The other photos that are featured in this calendar of the ones that I took, include ones taken at Memorial Lake, Emma Lake, and Christopher Lake.

I've sold over 2000 of these calendars - which was far beyond what I ever imagined. I've been offering them businesses in the area in bulk and to have their business advertised on the bottom of it, just like I did with Lisa's Pic's. This is something that we, myself and the printing company - Page One Digital in Saskatoon - would like to do on a continuing yearly basis. My dream is to take part in another SK calendar, but also to have an Inspirational Calendar with scripture verses from the Bible on each photo. That's the goal for a 2008 calendar, featuring my photos with scripture verses.

If you would like to order any calendars - I have a few left for 2007 - contact me anytime. You can already begin placing your orders for the 2008 calendars - we would like to have them completed by the end of April so that we can have them ready for distribution by the end of summer.

Thank you God for again giving me the desires of my heart. When we are doing things to bring you honor and glory, you are quick to anwer our prayers. Thank You! It is because of the gift you have given me, that I am able to in turn bless others with this gift. I am humbled by your generosity of so many blessings in my life and the people that you have brought into my life because of this gift of photography you have given to me. I thank you soooooo much for each and every person you have brought through my life. Bless them Father, be close to them, comfort them and draw them closer to You each day. I pray that each one of them comes to a personal relationship with You through Your Son, Jesus Christ. Amen
