I'm have about three weeks worth of this new blog series posts. It's called "Friday Features". I will take three things I'm liking at the moment talk a little about it and recommend. Whether it's music, tv, movies, food, etc. I'm hoping ya'll enjoy it.
This first week is about Christmas, Hunger Games, and Chris Tomlin.
First: Christmas.
Tis the season. I love the season of Christmas! The lights, the smells, the joy of being with family. I love hanging the lights and I love that it is the day my Savior was born! A lot of people these days forget the true meaning behind Christmas and only see the commercialism in it. It is the season of giving and God gave us the ultimate gift, His only son.
Even Veggietales knows the meaning of Christmas.
Remember to keep Christ in Christmas.
Second: Hunger Games.
Yes I know it's somewhat old news but I love this movie and love the book. I really enjoy the story behind it. I am glad that I bought this movie a while ago and am able to watch when I want. If you haven't seen it or read the book. I recommend both, but read the book first, it gives more back story and the movie makes a little more sense.
Third: Chris Tomlin.
This man is a beautiful singer/songwriter. I have to say my favorite songs (I have two) are "Amazing Grace (my chains are gone)" and "I Will Rise". I own two of his cds. I listen to him to lift me up when I am down. If you love christian music and have not heard of him. Please listen to these next two videos and then look him up.
Today is a post of my random thoughts and likes. A rather personal post. Stuff that just runs through my head. Well lets see lately I've been trying to break into photography with sweet slowness of molasses, but I will not give up.
A quote from my husband's success class book says "Successfully intelligent people have a can do attitude. They realize that the limits to what they can accomplish are often in what they tell themselves they cannot do, rather than in what they really cannot do." - Robert Sternberg.
I was thinking of different random movie quotes that I love so much. Like this one that makes me laugh because it goes into an epic scene. "What country are you from? (what) What?... What ain't a country I ever heard of, do they speak English in What?"- Jules {Pulp Fiction}.
Or maybe the very well known quote "You can't handle the truth!"- Col Jessup {A Few Good Men}
By the way I just recently watched that movie for the first time.
Oh and who can forget "He can call me a Flower if he wants to, ha ha, I don't mind"- Flower {Bambi}.
Then there are the many, many blogs that I follow. Like Shannon Morse, she is a great friend and photographer. Then I was reading this blog and the newest post on there is just great. It's by Denise Nicole Photography and it's on the subject of posing your clients and how to interact with them. So informative. I love it. The there is Kristen Booth she is so beautiful. She is also going to be hired as my wedding photography. Jessie Shaw is a new found friend. I recently met her and she is great and so loving. Her site has so much information on photography.
If you look at the photo on the top of the page it was done by Shannon. She is awesome. She is also my "mentor" in a way. She is very helpful in my dream of being a photographer. YAY.
Then there is my love of music. I don't discriminate either. I love everything. Well except most rap and all jazz. My favorite is of course country. I grew up on a farm, in the country, I was definitely a "tomboy". I love everything country from Patsy Cline to Zac Brown Band.
I love oldies as well but you will be surprised, I don't like the Beatles or Elvis. But I do like one of each of their songs. "Can't Buy Me Love"- Beatles (also love the movie) and this one by Elvis.
Metal/Rock oh yea. I love Black Sabbath, System of a Down, Lynard Skynard. (FREEBIRD).
OK I'll stop with the videos now but you catch my drift right. I love all things music.
Another love that I have is God. I love Him with every part of my being. Jesus Christ is my personal savior. I became a Christian on August 22nd 2005. I joined the church, Grace Fellowship of Dixon. He brings joy to my life. He also gave me my wonderful husband and beautiful daughter.
CARS. Nothing else says it right. I love cars, well I love CLASSIC cars. My favorites are Mustangs from 1962-1972. Oh goodness I melt to the sound of these beautiful cars. Yes I know they are just cars but come on they are BEAUTIFUL! My dream is to own a 1969 Mustang super cobra jet 428. Oh yea.
I move on to movies. I am a huge fan of the horror and comedy genres. The bloodier the better, not sure why, because if I watch a bloody war movie I feel kinda sick. Weird. I love the Harry Potter movies and can't wait for the last one to enter the theatre. I love Star Wars especially Yoda. YEEEE. Disney movies, can't get enough. Parodies are great too. But they are getting old. Kevin Smith is a great comedy director. Though some people don't like his taste in comedy. To each their own. M. Night Shamalon, wow what intrigue his movies bring to ya. The endings just throw you for a loop.
Last but definitely not least. My family. Kris and Taylor are my world. Kris takes care of me like a man should. He is my rock and support. He loves his daughter with his every breath. It was the greatest thing to see when she was born the love that was in his eyes for that little girl. Taylor grows more and more in my heart and she is so smart. I can't believe she will be two next month. Wow how time has flown. And it's not slowing down anytime soon.
I love worship music and I love our worship team. They continue to shine in our church. They learn new things all the time to make the sound so much better. I wish I could put a music clip on here. Maybe in a future post.
Our team is Robert, Judy, Julie, Christopher, Mason, Eric and our leader Josh. Behind the scenes (sound/media) Kris and Mary.
Judy, Robert (dad), Eric, Christopher, Josh, Julie, Mason
