Example: when a kid says “I love spaghetti!”
I love…
…my chapstick (trust me, I put this stuff on like every thirty minutes!)
…my pajamas. Got these for a buck at Wal-Mart too!
…my muck boots. I wear them all the time!
…my electric toothbrush. In fact, I love brushing my teeth too! I can’t stand having dirty teeth.
…my totally cool green sneakers! You can tell they’re well loved.
…the strap on my violin case. C’mon, I love my violin too, but what would life be like without my ever-so-handy strap(s)? It’s like what I told you: it’s spaghetti love.:-)

Since there are so many birthdays in April amongst our family and friends, we decided to pick a weekend this month, throw a party and celebrate them all together. After a few schedule complications, postponing, and people getting sick (poor Nate…) we were finally able to have our “April Party” last Saturday. And, though we sorely missed the company of another family and birthday-er, the day was glorious and filled with merry making!
We gathered at Valerie’s house in the early afternoon. On our agenda were many activities: ultimate frisbe, airsoft, eat dinner, cake and ice cream, have a bonfire and whatever else! Thus we spent our fun-filled day, with a few changes here and there (we replaced ultimate frisbe and bonfire with video games and Killer Bunnies), and didn’t leave until after 10:30! I guess you could say we had a great time. I guess… 
I, of course, was almost never without our camera, and took lots of pictures! You might want to view these as a playlist, and only click on the ones that appear interesting to you, since I posted so many.
And if you’re wondering why I’m not in any of the pictures, that’s because I was the one taking them (oops, forgot to do the self portrait thing…) However, since I knew I would be asked this question, I searched and searched through the day’s files and finally found this!
See the girl doing dishes in the background? That’s me! 
Oh yeah! Perfect shot.
Another big Happy Birthday to all the birthday people! Have a great day!

There is an uneasyness in families across America that is quickly growing into restlessness. Through the “Tea Parties” we have expressed our frustration and indignation over high taxes, socialist government, etc. We know that something is seriously wrong, but we only have vague ideas of what that thing is.
“We need to put God back in schools!”
“We need to follow the constitution!”
“We need another Ronald Reagan!”
“We need ________ !” (fill in the blank).
Are these the things that we truly need? Why do we need them? It is my personal belief that unless the grassroots “Tea Party” movement figures these questions out, it is doomed to eventual failure. Sure we might score a political victory, but without a Biblical understanding of law and government, we don’t have a foundation to stand on.
As Vision Forum Affiliates, we have had the opportunity to listen to and review these CDs; and I’m not exaggerating when I say that they are awesome!
This is not some “Best of” fluffy little audio series. This is the entire 2008 Witherspoon conference, 24 CDs, over 20 hours of meaty teaching. The lecture topics are both foundational and practical, and include:
These are things that the “Tea Party People” need to know! What is Biblically based law as opposed to Natural Law? What is Positive Law, and how has it wreaked havoc on the 20th century?
We haven’t had time to listen to all of the CDs yet, but we look forward our next long car drive.

As One
Who am I to be worthy of, this gift from above
Who am I to be worthy of, this faithful love?
The Lord in all His Sovereignty, and according to His plan
The two became one, by the power of His hand
One thing, that we’ll always remember
It’s God’s love, that brought us together
His love, caused us to grow
And God’s love that made us as one
Looking back on the years, smiling at the memories
Looking back on the years, thanking God for His mercy
His brought us a long way, and there’s still yet to go,
But no matter what happens, we will always know
One thing, that we’ll always remember
It’s God’s love, that brought us together
His love, caused us to grow
And God’s love that made us as one
~The Willis Family copywright 2009
