Family

Father. (No sweat! I call him dad.) :)

Mommy Dearest!

Calvin (19) He wasn't smiling.. but hey! No one notices right? :)

Kaitlin. (17) Cutie right? Hehe.. oh Kait, there's no need to thank me. Really! ;)

Me. (14... Ok fine! 13, but I'm going to be 14 in a week!)

Me and my darling sister Kaitlin. She.. um.. I don't know what she was doing actually. Just being goofy I guess! :)

Psalm 38

Last night at supper, my dad read Psalm 38, and I really liked it. Something about it was just... I don't really know how to describe it. I just liked it a lot. So I thought I would put it on my blog. Hey! It's something to write about. So maybe this will start up some new ideas.. who knows!

Psalm 38:1-22

A Psalm of David
A petition

O Lord, do not rebuke me
in your anger
or discipline me in your wrath.
For your arrows have pierced me,
and your hand has come down
upon me.
Because of your wrath
there is no health in my body;
my bones have no soundness
because of my sin.
My guilt has overwhelmed me
like a burden too heavy to bear.

My wounds fester
and are loathsome
because of my sinful folly.
I am bowed down
and brought very low;
all day long
I go about mourning.
My back is filled with searing pain;
there is no health in my body.
I am feeble and utterly crushed;
I groan in anguish of heart.

All my longings lie open
before you O Lord;
my sighing is not hidden
from you.
My heart pounds,
my strength fails me;
even the light has gone
from my eyes.
My friends and companions avoid me
because of my wounds;
my neighbours stay far away.
Those who seek my life
set their traps,
those who would harm me
talk of my ruin;
all day long
they plot deception.

I am like a deaf man
who cannot hear,
like a mute,
who cannot open his mouth;
I have become like a man who does not hear,
whose mouth can offer no reply.
I wait for you, O Lord;
you will answer,
O Lord my God.
For I said, "Do not let them gloat
or exalt themselves over me
when my foot slips."

For I am about to fall,
and my pain is ever with me.
I confess my iniguity;
I am troubled by my sin.
Many are those who are
my vigorous enemies;
those who hate me
without reason are numerous.
Those who repay my good with evil
slander me when I pursue
what is good.

O Lord, do no forsake me;
be not far from me, O my God.
Come quickly to help me,
O Lord my Saviour.

Updating

Hi Everyone,

Sorry I haven't updated for so long.... but I really can't think of anything to write about. I would write about just anything, but my life isn't too exciting right now. :) So hopefully I will come up with something soon. Until then, have a good day!

Pictures from Minnesota!

Sarah, Me, and Amy. Sarah is holding Tetris. She was absolutely addicted to that game! She wouldn't let go of it, so she took the picture with it!

Isaac, Amy and Sarah's brother. So muscular for an eight year old. WOW!

And then there's Amy. It must be a family trait! :)

Sarah hanging from a tree. They slept on the trampoline two nights before.

Sarah and Amy with their dog, Shadow. She is old, but a great dog.

This is Sarah, Amy, and Me. It was taken at their house outside. They have a HUGE yard!

She was just messing around, but I really like that hat!

This is my cousin Amy, I took this picture when we were out shopping. We actually found out that we weren't supposed to take pictures. I got a this one anyway!



HA! I love this picture. They decided to pretend that they were couch potatoes! But you know what? The tv is next to Amy! Oh and her hair is lighter because Sarah and I highlighted it! It took us about 3 1/2 hours!

Minnesota!

Hey Everyone!
