I would like to state that I am a brunette, but now I am a mix of grey, white, brown, and blonde. I would also like to say that I am 150 pounds, but that would be a boldfaced lie. How about I say I am work in progress because that is the truth? A beautiful work in progress. I love the sound of my fingers tapping on the keyboard and my greatest hope is that something that I write will lift someone else on their journey.

"God is in the wind"

I loved this faith promoting post about roses are red’s visit to the Columbine High School memorial.

I found this scripture to add to the post: Mark 4: 39 & 41

And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And
the wind ceased, and there was a great calm …. And they feared exceedingly,
and said one to another, “What manner of man is this,
that even the wind and the sea obey him?”

I tried to capture the wind in photograph. Here is the best I could do for now.

Just Freeze

Mindi at wordtoyourmother turned me on to a website called improve everywhere. (um, yeah, I just came back because I didn’t spell check and noticed my mistake of calling this improve everywhere instead of IMPROV everywhere, but I like, and so I am going to keep it this way.) Their whole purpose is to showcase “staged” scene making….it’s all the rave. Go figure. The food court musical was the first I heard of this modern form of entertainment.

Mindi recently posted about the best game ever.

Here is a video from their webpage that I really liked, it helped me think about how we move way too fast in this world.

Now, if I stepped into this staged “freeze” it may freak me out a little, like I stepped into a Twilight Zone version of elementary school freeze tag. But because I realized what was going on while watching the video , I liked it. I liked it a lot. I wonder what would happen if we staged a “freeze” on an American interstate? Yeah, no brainer…..don’t want to do that, unless you really have a desire to kill your already dead car!!

Busy Bees
I have so many things to post about, but I have been a busy bee.
This morning I read 20 pages of my Book of Mormon and I caught up in my journal. (I use my blog for most of my record keeping. I just keep a separate small journal for spiritual matters)
I am now 5 loads into my 12 loads of clothes to fold.
And, if you can find the bees in these pictures, I am sure you will be a better photographer than me. I’m such an amateur.
Watch out though, the next time you are in the shower, you may find yourself peeking out the window and you may be so excited by what you see that you’ll be calling to your husband to bring you the camera. There’s nothing like interrupting a great warm shower to capture nature in movement.

Jill

My future sister in law, Jill just started a blog too…I told you I was influentual! Jill and Logan have been dating for a whole looooooooong 4 months now.

I wonder if Jill will change her mind about him when she sees this picture. She will probably just love Logan more, since she loves to laugh. I think her and I are going to get along just fine, don’t you? Her blog name is livingonlaughter. I sure hope my imsofunny will give her a reason to live on laughter and not on boredom. I have been boring myself lately.

Really, her and Logan are just “dating”, but you know where that leads when you are young and Mormon….you can only hold out so long!

We all just found out that Jill’s real name is Jillian, and we LOVE that name.

So, go over and warn Jillian about the crazy sister in law she is about to get herself hitched to.

And, don’t forget to only call her Jillian. Hey, if I can become Ali to avoid confucsion with all the other 10 Alice’s in the fam, she can certainly stay Jillian. Right? Don’t you think that is reasonable?
