I'm so grateful for the Lord's many blessings.
My husband, family, friends.
Our health, home, happiness.
Most of all-
The gift of my salvation through His son Jesus.
My cup runneth over.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!
Enjoy, love and appreciate each other this special day!

Prince Ea's "Can We Auto-Correct Humanity?"

cnn.com


This artist's video rap is spot-on.
He addresses the electronics-crazed society that we've become.
It really hits home. Be convicted.






While we're at it, check out my post entitled
The Cell Phone Appendange.

Birds from the Opulent Nest



Absolutely opulent! 
These stylized birds have hatched from the "Opulent Nest" of Jennifer Lambein,
talented artist and designer from Cleveland, Ohio.

Surely each of these is the male of the species,
since their bold, ostentatious feathers are attracting lots of attention!




























See more of The Opulent Nest on Etsy.
Here's Jennifer's website.
Not to mention, (but I will), her Facebook page.
