I want a man, not a mouse! In this Femi-Nazi world, where there are feminist women everywhere who want to be in control and want to were the pants in the family and seem determined to turn our men into mice and softies, a true man is rather hard to find. Not that I'm exactly looking, considering my age.....but still! I can't stand those 'guys', if you could call them guys, who let women boss them around and control their lives. I mean Neils was a pretty nice guy, but had he stood up to his annoying wife Harriot, his life would have been happier and better. (Little house on the prairie, for those of you uneducated people who don't know these things!) I want a MAN, people! A hard working, leader who will not let me manipulate him and control him and tell him what to do! I want a up with the sun-rise, pick-up truck(or jeep) driving, bull riding(okay not really bull riding) strong steady hand, wranglers, stetson man! I want a man who earned everything he's got by the sweat of his brow, from his four wheel drive to his cowboy boots(okay, he doesn't have to have cowboy boots either). I want a man who's tender but tough, simple and honest! And finding him could take awhile. Maybe I'll just sit back and wait for him to find ME! Or better yet.....maybe I'll wait till God brings him to me! Excellent notion! BRILLIANT!
Anyway, that was just what I happened to be thinking at the moment. And so I blogged about it! I'm so sick of this world trying to effeminate our boys and men!!!!!
Anywho, TTFN, Ta Ta For Now!

YIPPEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We spent Christmas Eve at my dad's mom's(Omi) house. Us kids stuffed our faces with chips and dips, and cookies, and fudge, and watched the end of Home Alone, Ice Age, and half of Ice Age 2! Then we opened presents!!!!!! I got my fabulous MP3 player from Omi, and I got a walmart gift card and CHOCOLATES from my Uncle, Aunt, and Cousins! I also got a wallet from my Uncle and Aunt who live in Alaska! Twas good. Every Christmas Eve we go to Omi's house to open presents from her and my Dad's side of the family. Omi's from Germany and apparently over there Christmas Eve is the big day! So we go there every year. Then on Christmas we open presents at home and then go to my grandparents on my mom's side and open presents! So we really get three Christmases! Yep, we're spoiled!!!!!!!! Anyway, Christmas morning was fantastic too! I got a box full of stuff: A Jane Austin piano book which I really wanted, a DVD, called 'Pamela's Prayer', a poem book by Helen Steiner Rice, a Christmas book, and a book called 'Feminine by Design', mechanical pencils(YAY!) fuzzy slipper socks, a guitar CD, and a Christian CD,(don't remember what it was called right now) and a pink shirt that says, 'Daughter of the King' on it!!!!!!!! In my stocking I got a bar of chocolate(!!!!!) and a 'True Love Waits' ring! I also got purple nail polish, four Cd's from Joey, and..............Fantastic, Fabulous, Awesome, Super Cool, boots!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yesterday night we went out to eat at Denny's, and then came home and watched Danny's new movie, '20,000 League's Under the Sea'. Today, we're just......well.....doing nothing. Anyway, why I just went through the list of every single thing I got for Christmas, I don't know, besides the fact that I love all the stuff I got, I'm a girl, and I'm a girl who likes to go into details!
HELP!

Christmas Adam
Guess what? Today is Christmas Adam! Which means it's only two days til Christmas. Or actually, less then two days! Which would make tomorrow, Christmas Eve! (Get it now?!) Anyway, can't you feel the excitement in the air? Are you smiling yet? Are you bursting with the Christmas cheer and magic yet? No? Wrong answer. Let me ask again. ARE YOU BURSTING WITH THE CHRISTMAS CHEER AND MAGIC YET?!!!!!!! Yes? Good! Now I can move on to a different subject! :)
Yesterday we spent the whole morning baking for Christmas and Christmas Eve. We made chocolate truffles, chocolate chip, chocolate shavings, M&M, cookies, and Gingerbread Men! Can't wait to eat them..........! I love food, with a passion!!!!!! Well....maybe not a passion.....but....I like food! Anyway, after lunch yesterday, we watched The Santa Clause 2. Today we cleaned house(ugh!) and made more food for Christmas day. Later this afternoon, we're planning to watch 'It's A Wonderful Life', since we watch it every year. It's a family thing.
Sunday afternoon we went to the theater and watched The Tale of Despereaux! Twas very entertaining, and we all liked it. It was a cute movie. Though the veggie man was.......different!
Last Saturday evening, we had *Jane* and her brother Nathaniel, and Colette over. It was good to see Colette again! I've missed her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We had spaghetti and garlic bread for dinner, then we visited, played a cool game, and 
well....visited some more. About the game...........It was wrapped up and under the tree, before they got to our house. But after dinner, when we were sitting around talking, mom asked me if I'd like to open one of my presents early, because she thought it was something we'd enjoy doing right about then, or would I be sad on Christmas that I didn't have it to open. So, I opened it and we had fun with it that night! It's a charade game thingy, and is very entertaining.
Well.....that's about all that's been happening lately. Oh! We(*Jane* and I) did teach Walt how to comment on our blogs!

SNOWBALL FIGHT!
Egor the Snowman
Squishi the Snowman(that's what I call him anyways. Nick might not approve of the name but.....he don't have a blog!)
Squishi
And some snow-face making.........Smiley the Snow-Face
And, of course, some awesome sledding. Here's Samantha, sledding down our 'lawn'. Look quick, before she's gone!
Oops, ya missed her! Now this time, be quick about it, and look! Before she's gone again!
That's better!
There has also been some snowflake catching/eating!
Nick and I had a smashing snowball fight on one of this week's 'snow days'. But...I don't got pictures of that. I was too busy dodging snowballs to take pictures. I can tell you that I became the reigning snowball fight champion though. Nick might tell you other wise, but....don't listen to him! He doesn't know what he's talking about; Had one too many snowballs beam him in the head, ya see.
Jackson absolutely loves the snow, and haves a blast every time he gets to go out and play in it. The first time we went out in the snow, he really wanted a snowman, towards the end. But he was also freezing! So, I took him inside, and promised to make him a snowman, while he drank his hot Coco. Then I went outside and got to work. Once the mini snowman was finished, I took him inside the front doorway, to show Jacko.
He was very thrilled! Though he was sad that he couldn't take it inside and play with it.
He's a cute little snowman, ain't he! I think I'll call him Raisin.
So.....yeah, this week has been a fun, happy week! With lots of snow playing, warm, cozy, delightful fires, hot chocolate, and peach tea(thanks sissy!) and well.....good times!
And it's only getting better. Colette is coming home from college TODAY! And she makes everything better, right? Right! (well....almost everything.....) Love ya C.C!
(Now, sing it at the top of your lungs people! I wanna hear you!)
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring
Snowin' and blowin' up bushels of fun
Now the jingle hop has begun
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time
Dancin' and prancin' in Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air
What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go glidin' in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jinglin' feet
That's the jingle bell rock
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time
Dancin' and prancin' in Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air
What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go glidin' in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jinglin' feet
That's the jingle bell
That's the jingle bell
That's the jingle bell rock

Well the weather outside is frightful, but the fire is so delightful.......
Well.....it's snowing here! And I'm enjoying the warm house and fire, with a warm, gooey, home-made chocolate cookie and a bag of chortles. I would cheer for it to continue snowing, but our church has it's Christmas musical tonight, and if it snows too much, they probably will cancel it, so.......Let it snow after tonight!
I love snow! I love winter for that matter, and I absolutely love Christmas! It is my favorite season, my favorite holiday, my favorite period!
This morning, I helped in the nursery during the sermon. Twas fun, as I am a baby-holic and absolutely love them. I love children, love kids, love babies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I really can't wait till I become a mom! I can't understand all those girls who want to have 'a career', and get all their degrees and enjoy life before having a kid or two! It just blows me away when teenagers and young adults say that, and think that way! Can't they see that that chubby rosy cheeked baby is a precious gift from the Lord?! Can't they see that that the little toddler sitting there on the floor playing with their toys is a beautiful, innocent gift of love from God?! What is wrong with them!!!!!??????? But, then, I do know what's wrong with them. Having eyes, they see not, having ears they hear not. They have been blinded and have become hard hearted. They refuse their God given role in life and their God given responsibility; being a mother and wife. That is what they were created for. (besides honoring and praising God!) But, I digress. By the way, did you know I want 25 kids?! Yep! That's me! Your crazy, baby obsessed, radical, Christian teenager!
Anyways........yesterday, I went to the practice for the musical that's tonight, and afterwards, I went home with *Jane* and her family. We baked cookies(you don't need to know about the disastrous oatmeal cookies! Sorry) put lights on their Christmas tree and decorated it. Then we had pizza for dinner and watched a chick flick! Twas great fun, and I loved it! Thank you, second family!
Well....I guess I'm done rambling for now. I could go on and on about the kid/baby/children/motherhood topic for forever, but I won't do that to you! :)
TTFN! Ta ta for now!

TADAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here is the new first verse:
Christmas time has finally come,
But, some forget what happened.
How it was that first Christmas day,
how sin's curse was lost that day.

Because Of That First Christmas day......
("Cara......hello.....come in, Cara.......earth to Cara.....")
Because Of That First Christmas Day
another year has passed by,
and I can't stop thinking of You,
and how you saved the world.???????????????
You came to earth, a tiny babe,
You dwelt among sinful men.
Jesus, you became man, from birth,
thirty-three years, on this earth.
Oh, and You bled and died for those,
who mocked Your holy name, Lord.
Love shined in Your eyes for those men,
and You took away their sin.
And as that whip flew through the air,
when it cracked upon Your back,
Oh, You forgave them, even then.
As You were whipped by those men.
a precious, tiny, baby boy.
Because of that first Christmas day,
I am forgiven today.
And it's because You came to earth,
a precious, tiny, baby boy.
Because of that first Christmas day,
I am forgiven today.
Oh, you could have walked away,
you didn't have to come down to earth.
But you did it for my sake,
For the world, you died and broke death's sway.

Simple things.......
I love our families morning walks(despite my complaining each day). I love walking in the crisp(very crisp now a days) morning air, whilst watching my baby bubba run through the leaves on the side of the road, squealing with joy. I love watching my siblings joining him in the leaves. I love watching Jacko trying to race Nick.
I love watching Jack run away like a little elf, with a wicked grin on his face as he runs away from mom, who is holding a Christmas gift box, that was under the tree, that he opened! I know he shouldn't do it, but his face.....I love it!
I love it when Jack breaks in to song, when we're all practicing the songs for the Christmas songs we're sing at church in a few weeks. I love hearing Jack pray his adorable prayers, in which he starts out with, 'Dear Lord, thank you for Jesus".
I love just watching Nick carve, and inhaling the beautiful aroma of wood! I love watching Samantha read Jacko books. I love watching my siblings wrestle together(while flinching, and wincing, terrified of them killing each other)! I love just sitting outside in my favorite tree and thinking, enjoying the beauty all around me. I love when Jackson and I play playdough together.
I love mom's homemade apple pie, and her homemade cinnamon rolls! I love sticky fluttering baby kisses, loving friends and family and radiant blue skies. I love the hugs and laughter of good old friends and family, smiles and children, innocent babies, and grandparents, and the faith of little children.Simply put.....I love my life! Yes, I have my trials, yes, I have my pains, and unwanted things in my life. But so what?! To heck with them! I have an awesome life, cause I have an awesome God, an awesome world, which my God created, an awesome family, which God has blessed me with, and awesome friends, which the Lord has bestowed upon me! What more could a girl ask for!? I know the world's going to pot, that we have an evil, baby killer who is soon to become president, my country is going socialist, and then Communist. But.....I'm not going to worry. I'm just going to enjoy life while I got it! Because, (in a veggie tales tune. and come on, you gotta sing it, when you read this!) God is bigger then Obama, he's bigger the this country, and the evil congress men, Oh God is bigger then Obama, and he's watching over you and me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Watching.....watching......watching.......over you and meeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah!
Okay, so I'm a kook! So what?! No one's forcing you to read my blog! :)

Radical Christianity
It seems like everybody these days thinks you can be a Christian and still be an ordinary person. You don't have to be so different from the world, you can in a sense blend in. They act like being a radical and and extremest is totally wrong. 'You should you, you can be like everybody else'. And everyone seems to be eating it up, glad to hear such false doctrine. But didn't Jesus stick out in the crowds? Wasn't he a little Radical? I mean he died for us! We are suppose to be lights in the darkness, and we're suppose to stick out and be different. We should be forever shining forth the Lord's love and light! As His children, as His followers, He told us the world would hate us. To be a Christian, to be the Lord's, means to be Radical, Extreme, Different. The world should see a profound difference between us and them; a Radical difference. Radical means departing markedly from the usual or customary. Should not we be markedly different from the usual, the world, and sin? We are told in Romans to be transformed, and NOT conformed to this world. We are strangers in this world. This is not our home, we do NOT, should NOT, speak the same language as the world, wear the same clothes as the world, do the same things as the world. We should speak the language of Christ, which is love, wear the armor of Christ, and pursue the things of above, rather then the things of this world. As Pastor Jim Feeney says, “I once heard a preacher thunder from the pulpit, "Let's stop pussyfootin' around!" He is exactly right! God's call upon His people is for radical followers — radical in commitment, radical in faithfulness and prayer and devotion to the Lord and His work on earth.” If you aren't radical, you have faith issues, and spiritual issues. For Christ is radical, and if Christ is in you, you should be radical. This wimpy, go to church on Sunday, read your Bible every once in a while, pray a ten second prayer before you go to bed, Christianity, that we have in America, and across the world is so totally against scriptures and faithless. To be a Christian means to be Radical. But I guess the watered down, wimpy, tolerant of sin, false doctrine of today, which is being preached everywhere, is a lot sweeter to eat than the truth. It always seems to be that way, unfortunately. No one wants to hear the truth. People like to have God there to call upon in times of need and trouble, but no one wants to have to die to self, or get uncomfortable.
Philippians 2:15 ... That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;
Colossians 2:6-7-As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: Rooted and built up in him, and established in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.
If any man professes to call himself a child of God, a disciple of Christ, or a citizen of the kingdom, and yet is bereft of this radicalism, he would be well advised to take a long hard look at his Christian profession. Can it be real gold without this hallmark? [...]The radical Christian [...] is not a special Christian. He simply qualifies for New Testament normality.
Revelation 3:15-17— I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! So, because you are lukewarm - neither hot nor cold - I am about to spit you out of my mouth. You say, ``I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.''But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked.
Philippians 1:21-24— To me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. If I am to go on living in the body, this will mean fruitful labour for me. Yet what shall I choose? I do not know! I am torn between the two: I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far; but it is more necessary for you that I remain in the body.
My Amazing Mom!
So, I know lately, I've just been posting alot of poetry, and videos, and not that many updates. But, the video's were cool, and I'm a writer.

Anyway, for those of you who like poetry, if ya'll want to read an awesome poem, and want to read the blog of an awesome song and poem writer, head over to my mom's blog. I will say that it is a very depressing post, but....what a poem! So, there ya go, you poet's out there. Read and learn! Who knows, ya might learn how to write magnificent poetry, by reading such stuff as that poem!
Trust Him........
I stare down the road, straining to see,
terrified of what might be around the next bend.
I stop uncertain, wishing that I
could see around the daunting curved bend.
~
“Lord, is it safe, what's around this bend ?”
“Trust me, child, just hold my hand, and I'll walk with you.”
“But will I hurt, will there be a storm?”
“Just trust me child, I'll never leave you.”
~
And so I take a few tentative steps,
but then I stop, so afraid of what might happen.
“will the path be rocky, hard to walk?
Lord, I trust you but, what will happen?”
~
Then He gently takes my hand and smiles,
a sad, soft smile, as He looks at me and He says,
“Take my hand, it'll be alright, child.
Just trust me, little one, and be led.”
~
With faltering steps, I follow Him,
trembling with fear, holding tight to his kind hand.
Slowly, I lift up my eyes to his,
and follow him, still holding His hand.
~
The wind hits me full blast, the rain falls.
I take my eyes off of His, and look about me.
As the tempest rages, strong and hard,
with the thorns and branches scratching me.
~
“Lord, why don't you stop this storm for me?
You told me it would be alright, but look at me.
The waters keep rising each minute,
Lord, my heart is cracked, just look at me!”
~
“I told you, you'd be alright, that's true,
But, my precious child, you are alright, I am here.
Take my hand again, and follow me.
I'll walk through this storm with you, I'm here.”
~
“The pain and the scars, they'll disappear,
And you'll be so much more beautiful after this.
You'll see the light at the end of this,
My precious child, you will get through this.”
~
“Now trust me my little lamb, again.
Here's my hand, lift your eyes to mine once more, my child.”
And His hand takes mine again, with love.
“I'll trust you Lord,” through my tears, I smile.
