On Christ, the solid rock, I stand.

This is one hymn that I have found myself singing a lot lately. It is always a refreshment and inspiration to me.


My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly trust in Jesus’ Name.

Refrain

On Christ the solid Rock I stand,
All other ground is sinking sand;
All other ground is sinking sand.

When darkness veils His lovely face,
I rest on His unchanging grace;
In every high and stormy gale,
My anchor holds within the veil.

Refrain

His oath, His covenant, His blood,
Support me in the whelming flood;
When all around my soul gives way,
He then is all my Hope and Stay.

Refrain

When He shall come with trumpet sound,
Oh may I then in Him be found;
Dressed in His righteousness alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne.

Refrain

~ Edward Mote

We saw this truck when we were in Maine a few years back. Not sure who the artist was, but a major commendation on the job!

Call Of Duty

Last Saturday we had some friends over to play Call Of Duty for my Birthday. It took us a while to get everything installed, but thanks to Daniel Hill and Grant Iler (who set up the LAN) all the computers connected very smoothly.

Many thanks to everyone that contributed to the evening! I had a blast (literally :-), and I hope everyone else that came did also. Here are some pictures from the evening.

Spring Has Sprung!

Wow! Talk about warm (or HOT!) weather today! I think it got up to 72 degrees this afternoon!
I took a nice long bike ride today and didn't feel cold for a split second!

I love this weather!
It better not get any hotter for a while, I think I'd melt.

Um, Hello?!?

Yes, I am still alive - but just barely! I've been swamped with school stuff (lots of music), and haven't really had time for anything other than that.

Liberty Day was a couple weeks back, which went very well! I personally had a lot of fun and I hope all the attendees were blessed.

On the car front, things haven't been going too well at all. A 1988 s10 pickup that I had blew a head-gasket a week and a half after I got it (I didn't lose anything on that, but I sure didn't make as much as I wanted!). Overall it was definitely worth getting the truck. It was a lot of fun driving around in a beater with that much guts, and let me tell you, that thing had guts!

My 1994 Hyundai Elantra GLS has been one problem after the next.
1: Due to some bad idle speed sensors I had to get those replaced.
2: Due to a tiny hole in the block and a jumped timing chain I had to get the engine replaced.
3: Due to a bad computer the car wouldn't start and the computer had to be replaced.
4: Due to the new computer I can now read all the codes and see everything else that is wrong with my car. Grr...
5: Due to a bad air-flow sensor I had to get that replaced.
6: Due to the fact that I was told I could pick up my car today from the shop, I drove 50 minutes just to find out that it wouldn't be ready until tomorrow.

Would somebody please accidentally run into my car so that your insurance will replace it?!?!

We'll see what tomorrow holds...

(Ok, that's not actually my car - mine is bright red, but that is what it looks like when I'm driving! ;-)
