My Testimony

I’m published! Actually, what really happened is that I participated in Kaysie’s Alabaster Hearts program, which is where one answers a series of questions concerning how they came to know the Lord, their walk with God, and general ‘other’ about the individual. So, I took it! (obviously…) It’s been some time since I’ve truly shared [...]

Come to TheWilli.com to view this video! var so = new SWFObject(‘http://blogthewilli.com/wp-content/videos/player.swf’,'mpl’,’470′,’390′,’9′); so.addParam(‘allowscriptaccess’,'always’); so.addParam(‘allowfullscreen’,'true’); so.addParam(‘flashvars’,'&file=http://blog.thewilli.com/wp-content/videos/passTheBaton-highweb.mp4&image=http://thewilli.com/wp-content/videos/vidpic.jpg&skin=http://blog.thewilli.com/wp-content/videos/schoon.swf&bufferlength=10′); so.write(‘player’); I’m still playing around and experimenting with codecs, figuring out the best combination of video and audio quality.

Rain

I’m sure all the farmers and residents of our county are happy, because we now have RAIN! Apparently this area was in a drought last year, and the precipitation hasn’t done much better on this time around either. For the past three weeks at least we’ve had absolutely no rain…until today! ~Wetness. We’ve had steady [...]

Snapshots From Last Week

By now our readers may well have surmised from my last post that we had family here for a while. (after all, how else could niece Sarah be here?) And of course that assumption is correct! These past two weeks my sister-in-law Tina and her three children have been staying with us (Brian had to [...]

Backyard Nature

Guess what I found at Providence Glen!!! I was nonchalantly picking flowers the other day when I came across a rare creature of God’s creation. Which soon lead to a full-fledged “photo op” of Providence Glen! (Haven’t had one of those in a while ) Enjoy!

Video Editing!

Good bye Movie Maker, hello Sony Vegas! Sure, it was good hunk of change ($85), but I believe that this is a good investment. Sony Vegas simply runs at a whole different level than Movie Maker, and the learning curve can be a little steep at first. To make learning the new program more fun, [...]

Happy Birthday Mom!!

Music in the Near Future?

We’ve always loved playing music as a family, and especially worshiping the Lord together. But of course, you guys already know that! God really blessed us with the opportunity to be on the worship team at church in NY for many years. (Good times, eh Mr. Darcy?) And now I wonder what He has in [...]

My Latest Projects (And Post #200!!)

Its hard to believe that this is post number 200!  I would like to thank all of our readers for…….well….reading And even though out of 200 posts I’ve only written around 5 that does not mean that I haven’t been doing anything. Mom’s been keeping me busy with carpentry projects. Here is a ‘cubby hole’ [...]
