Myspace layouts   ...AND AM I EVER GLAD! It's another weekend for me to just stay at home and try to take it easy.  Or at least that's what I'm going to try and do.  It seems that things have a way of sneakin' up on me, but I think I'll send Lee to work with the car, and with our other 2 not working, I'll have no choice by to stay at home.  lol   I'm sure hoping that 2 more days of rest, will get me over this sick thing.  I am feeling much better, so I know I'm on the way to mending.  I just hope it's sooner than later!   Moriah is "feeling her 18".  lol  She has talked for sometime about getting her nose pierced, and her Dad and I did agree...but told her it would have to be after she's 18...and she agreed.  Of course, now she can't get it done fast enough.  lol  Her brother (26) took her up to have it done, but without ID proving she's 18, they wouldn't let her do it without my signature, and wouldn't let Landon sign, so, when I go later tonight to pick up Lee from work, we're going to stop by and get it done.  Lee did bring her home a prez. last night, which made me feel better.... a small diamond stud for her nose, when it heals and she can change it.  She really liked it.  Now she's talking tatt...which I'm REALLY totally against, but I know there will be no talking it out of her, so I'm just doing my best to convince her to put it somewhere that it isn't obvious, and to make it a bit smaller than what she wants.  I reminded her that she'd have to be looking at it still when she 80 and all wrinkled...lol...but she doesn't seem too worried about that.  lol  I am hoping that I can convince her on the size.  It's not that I've got anything against them...it's just that they're permanent, and I don't want her to end up regreating one day, that she had it done. Take care friend....enjoy, be safe, God bless!

But, with all those burdens and trials, we're stronger, we're tougher, we can love deeper and stronger,  and we somehow seem to survive, when we don't know if we can.    Well...guess I'll hush, and head back downstairs to check the laundry...I'm sure it's ready to add another load...fun, fun!  I'll be hangin' around here late on, I'm sure, so have a great Sunday, and maybe I'll catch ya later!

PIMP.myYearbook.com - No. 1 Pimp Site   Well, I could go on and on with all sorts of excuses, like the rush of Christmas hitting me, having to work, prepare food for company, and make arrangements for trips, to my computer giving me fits, and just not enough time all around, in general.  But there is no excuse...I didn't make it here before the event to wish you all a VERY ...

PIMP.myYearbook.com - No. 1 Pimp Site   But, I suppose, regardless of the time, I did finally make it, so I'm saying that it's better late than never.   I hope you were able to share some wonderful times, and memories, with family and friends over the Christmas season.   This time of year can always be bittersweet, enjoying all that goes with the celebration, yet missing, and longing for those who are no longer with us to celebrate the miracle that happend and was born unto us in Bethlehem.   This was our first Christmas without my Dad, so naturally, we too felt the longing in our hearts for someone that was so loved.  But, we also rejoiced that it was a Christmas we were able to spend with our oldest son, Kirk, who just returned from Australia.  We spent 2 Christmas' without him around us, and it left an empty space, that was filled by having him here with us this year.   We do not know with this new year of 2008 will bring.  But, we have the assuredness that whatever it will bestow, we will be able to face it all, if we only put our faith in God, and trust Him to see us through every conflict or turmoil...and praise Him for every blessing and joy He gives.  With Him, we will live the coming year in peace, knowing that with Him, all things are possible.   "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.  In all your way acknowledge Him, and He will direct your path."   I trust that you will put your faith and trust in God and let Him lead you through this new and upcoming year.  My prayer for you, is that your new year be filled with love, joy, and happiness, beyond all measure.   GOD BLESS   Love, Lee, Levonne, and Moriah

I know that this is quite lengthly and that you may not have time
right now to read, but please save this so that you can come back
and look into it later.

I have had the "priviledge" of performing this enitre work when I
was in college, and have of course performed pieces of it since.
For those of you who sing, you'll understand what I mean when I say
that there is NO BIGGER RUSH!!! If you have never listened to the
entire composition... PLEASE... try to do so. It will bless your
heart beyond description. I have no doubts that Handel was inspired
by God to write this, and from some of the enclosed information, I
believe that Handel thought that himself. I hope that you will
enjoy reading this.

Love,
Lev

HANDEL'S MESSIAH
A Closer Look


Dear Friends in Christ,

Many months ago, I found a cd copy of Handel's Messiah in a used book
store, and snapped it up. What a treasure that nobody wanted! I had
never really listened to the whole work before, and the only thing I
remembered from it was, of course, the "Hallelujia Chorus."

But it was so beautiful, and I listened to it over and over, and to
my
amazement I started recognizing the lyrics as fragments of Bible
verses.
So I set about to find the verses and their references, and kept a
file
for my own studies.

As it turns out, The Messiah is either a Bible study with a beautiful
concert attached, or a wonderful piece of classical music with a free
Bible study included at no extra charge. I can't decide which. I do
remember reading that when Handel was alive, the Messiah was one of
the most often performed pieces of music in concert, and that Handel
gave away most of the profits obtained from his concerts to support
orphaned children.

So, here is a copy of the lyrics and Bible Verses, and a little bit
of history regarding its writing...you will find that Handel's
Messiah is a beautiful study of the prophesies and other verses
about our Lord Jesus Christ.

Yours, in Christ........brother bob.......<><

George Frideric Handel


(1685-1759)

Performances of Handel's oratorio, Messiah , have become a Christmas
tradition, and for many the "Hallelujah Chorus" expresses the joy
which the coming of Christ, the King of Kings, brings. Handel wrote
his masterful music in an amazing 24 days and was passionately moved
by the Scriptures describing Jesus' incarnation, crucifixion,
resurrection, and coronation as King of Kings. He worked on his
masterpiece almost nonstop, with little sleep or food. One day his
servant opened the door to find Handel at his work, with tears
streaming down his face. Handel looked up and cried out, "I did
think I did see all Heaven before me, and the great God Himself."

When Messiah was performed before King George II of England in
1743, the king rose when the triumphal notes of the "Hallelujah
Chorus" were first played. Of course, everyone had to rise when the
king did, and the tradition of rising for the "Hallelujah Chorus"
began - a tradition that continues to this day.

Dad At The Mall A woman took her dad to the mall to buy some new shoes. They decided to grab a bite at the food court. She noticed he was watching a teenager sitting next to him. The teenager had spiked hair in all different colors: green, red, orange, and blue. Her dad kept staring at him. The teenager would look and find him staring every time. When the teenager had enough, he sarcastically asked, 'What's the matter old man, never done anything wild in your life?' Knowing her dad, she quickly swallowed her food so that she would not choke on his response; knowing he would have a good one. And in classic style, he did not bat an eye in his response, "Got drunk once and had sex with a peacock. I was just wondering if you were my son."

Tigers are No. 1 Fans turn attention to San Antonio. By JORDAN RAUBOLT of the Tribune?s staff Published Monday, November 26, 2007 Gerik Parmele photo Sarah Huebner, center, celebrates with other fans Saturday night in the stands of Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City after Missouri beat Kansas 36-28 and clinched the top spot in the national football polls. "Armageddon at Arrowhead" is over, but Tigers fans now face another doomsday scenario. How do you get to San Antonio, Texas? After claiming Big 12 Conference North Division title and the No. 1 ranking for the first time since 1960, the University of Missouri-Columbia heads to the Alamodome in San Antonio to face the University of Oklahoma for a chance at the conference crown on Saturday. That gives MU fans only five days to make their travel plans. Tickets for the game went on sale at 8 a.m. this morning, with prices ranging from $79 to $99, but the approximately 8,000 tickets available through MU sold out by 11 a.m. Nick King photo MU wide receiver Martin Rucker high-fives fans as he runs to the locker room after Saturday night?s game in Kansas City. In addition, all travel packages available through the Mizzou Alumni Association and Great Southern Travel have been bought up. "It?s been a very busy morning," said Todd McCubbin, executive director of the Mizzou Alumni Association. "Everything is tightening up, from hotel rooms to plane tickets." This morning, students and fans lined up at the Hearnes Center ticket office to take advantage of the opportunity of the relatively low ticket prices; tickets for the game already have sold on eBay for prices ranging from $150 to $400 apiece, comparable to this past Saturday?s game against Kansas at Kansas City?s Arrowhead Stadium. But without family and friends to help share the costs, traveling to Saturday?s Big 12 Championship Game also will cost fans a pretty penny. MU senior Alex Wrisinger, 20, one of today?s early-bird ticket buyers, said he will be going to the game with his family, who already have tickets as season ticket holders. While he is the only one in his family who had to stand in line today, Wrisinger said they will pay for most of the traveling costs, which makes it worth the trouble. "We?ve got a good chance to go to San Antonio and get some revenge for that loss earlier this season," said Wrisinger, referring to the Tigers? Oct. 13 loss to Oklahoma, MU?s only loss of the season. "It?s going to be a tough game, though." MU senior Lauren Fuemmeler, 21, bought tickets this morning with the idea of selling them to make a little extra money to go to a possible bowl game. "There?s not enough people I know that are going," she said. "I?m going to wait until we win the championship and then go to the next game." Tickets are sold out at MU?s box office but are available for a limited time through TicketMaster. As for traveling options, McCubbin said for big sporting events, "a vast majority of folks go on their own." He suspects many Tigers fans will be driving to San Antonio this weekend.

PIMP.myYearbook.com - No. 1 Pimp Site   I trust that you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving day, whether it was spent with family or friends.   We had a great day at my Mom's.  Naturally, being that this is our first Thanksgiving since my Dad passed, it was bittersweet.  We do miss him so much, and on special days like Thanksgiving, it seems to always make for a difficult day, remembering all the Thanksgivings that had gone before when he was with us.  But, amoung the underlying saddness, was the great joy of my Mom getting to see our son Kirk for the first time in over two years since he left to go live in Australia.  It was always ones of her fears when he left, that she would never see him again...with her age being what it is.  Of course, she shared with him that Papa...my Dad, didn't get to see him again, but was with us, and we were all finally together.   We ate WAAAAAAAAAAAY too much, as usual.  lol  But geezzzzz....what are days like that for?  Pretty soon we'll be doing the same thing again when Christmas day gets here.   I have made my traditional, end of Thanksgiving homemade turkey noodle soup for supper tonight.  It's time to get that carcus out of the fridge.  lol  Just one of those "leftover" things that we always look forward to after the holidays...continuing to enjoy the good food.   Now the holidays are over....for awhile, so it's back to the usual grind of work and such, until Christmas rolls around.  It's always great having the days off work, and a break from the usual routine that normally goes on.  Although winter is most definately NOT my favorite time of year, Christmas IS my favorite holiday, so I am rather excited about getting it underway.  We will probably begin next weekend, by putting up our Christmas decorations, and tree.  I always love the looks and smells of a festive house.  I hope your home is blessed with those things over the next several weeks....God Bless   Talk to ya'll soon

PIMP.myYearbook.com - No. 1 Pimp Site

Well, it's been awhile since I dropped by to say "HI" to everyone.  How have you all been?

It's been about the same around here.  Work, and work.  Lee took off Sat. evening to go to Indy to visit his mom.  He'll be back sometime tonight, but it will be late for sure.  Kirk started his first day of work yesterday @ Outback Steakhouse, and loves it.  He just left for work about 30 mins ago, and will be home about 1.

I trust you are all ready to set down to a big delicious feast on Thanksgiving?  We sure are here...one of those days we look forward to in this family...and Christmas as well.  We LOVE our food!  lol  This year on the menu, we'll be having, Turkey, naturally, ham, mashed potatos with gravy, dressing, green beans, corn, sweet potatos, relish tray, and vegetable tray with dip, cranberry sauce, redhot jello ( a tradition in our family...let me know if you want the recipe), all selections of breads, 2 pumpkin pies, and a extra lg. apple...made in a special big dish.  It sounds to me like we'll be making pigs of ourselves this year...lol  which we're usually pretty good at doing on most thankgivings. 

I remember last Thanksgiving, knowing that my Dad's health wasn't the best, and wondering if it would be the last Thanksgiving I spent with him.  Well...sadly, it was, and seeing that it's been only 5 mos. since his passing, Thanksgiving will be a tough one this year.  But, I was thinking last night, with loosing Dad,  and alot of turmoil going on in our family right now, one would be tempted to say that there was nothing to be thankful for, but I realized much different.  I began to not look at what I'd lost, or the problems going on, but what I had gained out of that experience.  Our family may have lost alot, and there may be troubles that we're having to face, but through all these difficulties, look at what we did recieve....we've known love that is beyond measure...we've seen the devotion of friends, above and beyond the call, we've learned to cherish each moment just a little bit more than we did before, we've learned to choose our words as to not to hurt those we say we love.  So even through all this, we should be thankful for all the other things that were shown to us, when it was needed most.  I still have SO much to be thankful for.

Hope you all have a beautiful day!

 

PIMP.myYearbook.com - No. 1 Pimp Site     Goodmorning on this VERY rainy Monday...here in Mid Missouri anyway.  It sure doesn't make a person want to get out in this mess, but unfortunately I have to.  I've only got about 10 mins before having to leave, so this won't be long.  But, just wanted to drop by and say "HI" to everyone, and hope that you all have a good Monday...as Monday's usually go.   We're enjoying our time with Kirk being home.  Just night after night of the family getting together and hangin' out.  It's really been great.  Kirk starts work next week at no other place than "OUTBACK STEAKHOUSE"....guess they liked that Aussie accent he picked up while living down there.  lol   We have to go out of town on Thurs.  Our best friend lost her Dad Saturday night.  He had a long history of health issues.  It is going to be hard, I know, as I just lost my Dad this past June, the day before Father's Day.  We'll be back sometime late Thursday evening.   Well, guess I better head out so I'm not late for work.  I work till 2 today, and if we're lucky, it won't be too busy on this rainy nasty day, and I can be back home before I know it.   HAVE A GREAT ONE, EVERYONE!
