Good Friday

We thought of him as one smitten by God. But he was pierced for our offences, crushed for our sins, by his stripes we are healed.
Isaiah 53:4-5

Merciful Father, you know that of ourselves we are helpless against Satan. Help raise our eyes to your Son hanging in the cross, and send us a scorching thirst for His presence.

Amen

Happy Holy Thursday

Happy Holy Thursday everyone! May this day be filled with prayer and contemplation as we celebrate the night Jesus instituted the Eucharist! God bless :)

Anthem Lights New Song

This is Anthem lights new original! Gosh, they are so good!!!  Allen Powell said he wrote this for his wife! So sweet :)

A Quote From Daniel

Yesterday evening, while doing the dishes, I criticized Daniel for the way he was drying the dishes.  Right after I said it, I slammed my finger while getting a plastic bag out of a drawer. Daniel looked at me smugly and said, "That's God smiting you for judging me!"  Pearls of wisdom :)

Timberwolves Game

Yesterday my Dad, my bro's, and I went to the Wolves game!

The view of the court from where we sat! It was so cool :)

The Wolves warming up! 

Ricky Rubio!!!!

J.J. Barea

Ricky shooting, and wow, it is amazing how good he is!

The Wolves in play! Or they're just standing around :)

We lost 104-97. It was a bummer, but the game was really well played by both teams! I gotta hand it to the Chicago Bulls, they are really, really good.  Still a die hard Timberwolves fan though :)

This is Hilarious!

                    Ok, Brant is officially the coolest DJ ever!!!! I laughed so hard :)

Some Birthday and Backgammon

So today is my Dad's birthday! Happy birthday Daddy :) This morning us kids awoke before the sun was out, slaving over a big breakfast for dad to have in bed *sigh* but of course Dad was right there making it with us! After we ate Tim and Jonny went their separate ways, one going to school and the other going to work. At about 10:30 am, Dad and I started a grueling tournament of Backgammon. He won 4 out of 5 times and finally, when playing the last game, I WON!!!!!! I was so happy that I even took a couple pictures to share with all of you! Keep these for the history books ;) My Dad is the white and I am the red!

The outcome of my winning match!

The lucky roll :)

Best Romantic Song Lyric's Ever!

I don't know your name yet. I've never even seen your face. I'm looking with my eyes wide open, 'til I find you in the right time and place.  Hide your love away, and wait for me, wait for me. I will do the same, so wait for me , wait for me.  There will come a day, when I will finally say, staring in your eyes, I've waited my whole life, for this night.          

                                                                        ~Anthem Lights~

Life Is Precious

I think this picture is so beautiful! Please that EVERY human life may be treasured and respected!

St. Joseph, protector of the Church, pray for us!

A Quote From Willy

So my family is in the car and we are coming home from walking at the 40 days for life when the following happened!

Mom to Dad: Honey, can we go by a mail box?

Willy: Mom, why do we need to go buy a mailbox? Ours is just fine!

Mom: No, not b-u-y, but b-y!

Willy: Ohhhhhhh, right!

Gosh, I love it when things like this happen! It makes my day :)

Words

"Words can build you up, words can break you down.  Start a fire in your heart or put it out.  Let my words be life, let my words be truth.  I don't wanna say a word, unless it points the world back to you.  Let the words I say, be the sound of your grace.  I don't wanna say a word, unless it points the world back to you."
                                                                       ~Hawk Nelson

I Survived.....But Barely

I have officially experienced the grossest thing EVER!!!!!!  Today at science co-op we had to dissect a fish. *shudder and then a deep breath*  I am sorry to you who think it's cool, but I personally would like the fish to keep it's inside's hidden from eye view.  My dissecting buddy and I dubbed our fish Stubborn Johanna!  The poor fish, may she rest in peace :) 

Sunsets and Brides

This world is full a wonderful things and two of these wonderful things are, sunsets and brides :)

The sunset from my window last night!

 You see, when you see a sunset, you immediately think about how beautiful it is and how awesome God is!

                                       

The same with a bride! When you see her walking down the aisle to her groom you immediately think about how beautiful she is and praise God for His beautiful masterpiece! 

God has bestowed upon us so much, and all we need to do is open our eyes, to thank Him for His amazing creations.

Our New Pope

Pope Francis I is our new pope! He's from Argentina and is the first Pope from the America's. May God bless him!

Come Holy Spirit and fill the hearts of your faithful ones, and enkindle in us the fire of your love, send forth your spirit and we shall be recreated, and you shall renew the face of the earth.
Amen

A Quote From Daniel

So I am standing in the kitchen with my back to Daniel, my brother, who is in the dining room when this conversation happened!

Daniel: Becky!

Me: Where you talking to me?

Daniel: No, I was talking to the large mongoose named Becky next to you.

I love my brothers :)

Frosty morning

The frost is so pretty!  I love Minnesota :)

My whole block!
