Look Who Came to Breakfast...

Old Yeller

"Oh Arliss, don't let that old nasty dog eat from your bowl!"

Arliss: "Well, he's hungry too!"

Love this picture of Ranger licking his lips.

This is not an ordinary occurrence in our home. In fact, I think this has happened one other time in the four years we've had Ranger. I don't like dog hair which means I'm not that fond of dogs indoors, but since Ranger is something special (and so is my son who is Ranger's boy!), Ranger gets the privilege of being in the house.

Jackson was commenting on how funny it would be if Ranger sat at the table and ate with us so I thought I'd stage this photo. Ranger patiently sat for a few photos and eventually became quite nervous and began to peer into Jackson's eyes for the meaning of it all.

We all survived the frivolity without the loss of a hair to Ranger or an addition to our granola! :)

God Will Lift Up Your Head by Jars of Clay

I really do love music. It is such a gift from the Lord. One of my favorite christian bands is Jars of Clay. Not only do they have a great sound, more importantly they have great lyrics. I love this song because the only lifter of our Head is the Lord Jesus Christ and he will fulfill what he promises because he is a righteous and holy God who is the author of truth!

Psalm 3:3
But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me; my glory and the lifter of mine head.







**I should have posted this at the bottom of the Yael Naim song, but I didn't so I will will now. With any music I post, whether christian or secular, I cannot fully endorse each and every song that a band sings. Just so nobody gets the wrong idea about some of the singers I post.

New Soul by Yael Naim

I love this song. I've heard it a number of times, but didn't know who sang it. Just found it and am so happy... "this is a happy end". :)

Hooray for Marie-Madeline Studio!
