Ron Paul on the impending health care "progress" Obama is promising us

I'm still enjoying following oneroofafrica.blogspot.com, the modern day tale of a family who moved to Africa to adopt a son and learn a bit about life along the way.

Hello Folks!

.

Life, as hard as it is to believe, has moved on. After the festivities, inspiration and fellowship on The Fourth, it seemed odd to step back into day to day living. 

.

The challenges of business and family begin to fill my mind. Can I keep the lessons of our forefather's before my mind? Time will tell.

Solo Christo!

As always,

Love in Christ Jesus,

A Saturday to git stuff done

5 months after moving in we STILL don't have knobs on our cabinets or IKEA wardrobe. This was the day to git 'er done. After all the different weekend festivities I've been a part of over the last few months. It was really great to have a Saturday and just clean house.

Finding that dead center

Determination

"Taking a break" to sharpen the lawn mower blades

Young eyes are ever watching the movements that we make

A light touch

a smooth stroke

Blades are balanced upon the rim of the wagon

Final adjustments are made.

Somewhere in the vicinity of 4:00pm, I STILL hadn't done the shelving unit for my trailer. So, it was off to the Dread Depot to pick up supplies. 

10:30 pm and I FINALLY have an organized trailer! Just wait 'till we hit the grass on monday. It won't know hit it. Yessirree Bob! 

Bekah's now taking orders for cabinet knob installations. ;-)

A blessed Sunday

Our Sunday begins with a jamming session with Michael W. Smith's worship CD.

Later, Bekah and I come across an encampment of soldiers from the War of Northern Aggression. 

Can you hear the haunting cries waft through the air carried aloft by the sea breeze

Unfortunately, we were a bit late. Modern vehicles invaded the historic setting and tear down begins. It could have been historic. I was so excited, "Wow" what an unexpected blog moment. But No! There was nothing we could do to stem the tide of fleeing reenactors.

Quickly, I dash around to catch a shot of one of the few remaining reenactors.

In time, even they drift away. The building alone stands monument to what was imaginably a great event. 

The keeper of portals of my heart ... my beloved 

"Where did this mighty stone come from?" I pondered, and then ... it hit me. 

A time for reflection

Time slows

waves beat 

the clouds drift

our hearts meet

A profile of entrepreneurship ... or the history of the lemonade stand.

Young Entrepreneur

1. Prior to the New York City stands, one of the earliest documented lemonade stands was operated by Edward Bok from 1873 to 1876. He was ten years old when he began selling ice water for a penny to passengers in horse drawn carts who stopped to allow their horses water. Other boys soon began copying Bok's idea and stealing his business, so he made lemonade and sold it for three cents a glass instead.

Wait 'till the Erwin brothers are shooting this stuff!

Hello Folks!

.

The blog returns to cover the Fourth.

.

It was a time for remembering the deeds of our fathers, considering the actions we are doing now and dreaming of a Godly vision for the future. 

.

I must run!
