Silent Monks Singing Hallelujah Chorus

Now this is just a totally random post but it was so unique I wanted to share it.  Here you will see Silent Monks Singing Hallelujah Chorus

I'm Forgiven - the Imperials

Just LOVE this clip of the Imperials singing, I'm Forviven.  Brings back great memories of the 1970's and listening to Christian music in it's infancy.  What makes this even better is that this car is full of guys from half-way around the world jammin' to the tunes.  GREAT stuff!

Somewhere Over the Rainbow - Connie Talbot

Here is a six-year-old princess named Connie Talbot sings, Somewhere Over the Rainbow accapella and simply is precious.  She is so tender and moving and she will brings tears to the eyes of the judges, even Simon was nice...AMAZING!

Here is Connie singing in the final show.  She again is priceless singing the entire song of Somewhere Over the Rainbow!

Tech Support - Tim Hawkins

This is just a funny spoof by Tim Hawkins for all you computer fans out there that have ever had an issue with a blue screen or any computer glitches.

I Dreamed A Dream - Susan Boyle

Love the look on Simon's face and the audience's faces when they judge this 48 year women because of her outward appearance.  We live in such a superficial world where outward appearance sets a person's fate and people think they know you when they haven't even given you a chance.

Hats off to Susan Boyle that she dared to dream a dream and had the courage to come in front of this audience of skeptics.  Since when is 48 over the hill and washed up?  There is such a fascination with "youth" in this world and it is so shallow.  Hollywood's phoniness has take root in our world and I for one am thankful for Susan and her incredible performance.

Noah's Ark - Cartoon

Ever have one of those days?

Un Venedor - Paul Pott's

Do you judge a book by it's cover?  Here is Paul Potts who works at Car Phone Warehouse and yet loves to sing for his audience of...himself.  Everyone loves a Cinderella story and here is one.  Someone who "looks" so NOT the Hollywood image and yet he blows the audience away as he sings from the heart. When will we ever learn to NOT look at the outward appearance and  begin to look at what is inside?

the Animal Odd Couple

The animal odd couple is just a cute story about two animals who became friends.  You have to see this to believe it!

Kseniya Simonova's Sand Drawings

This is one of the those post that you just sit back and see the great talent of this women, Kseniya Simonova.  There is story here as she draws a picture of the occupation of Germany, the Jews, the war.  Incredible talent.

She was performing for a program in which she is competing so you will see the audience moved by her interpretation and artistry.

Do Ra Me - Antwerpen, Belgium

This was a really fun, random, event...well, I was told it was a commercial and shot in this station.  Either way, Do Ra Me from the Sound of Music in a station choreographed is really kind of cool.

The Government Can

You got to love Tim Hawkins and his sense of humor.  The Government Can is a new twist to a classic.

the Voca People

This was just different.  Thought you would like it by the Voca People.  Interesting in the least.

Busyness

This video is an interesting look at our life of busyness from the prospective of the demons of hell and their strategy to keep us off track. After listening to this video and reading the plan, it should make you stop and think about keeping the main thing the main thing.

Truth or Fiction

Wanted to share this link with you called Truth or Fiction.  This is a good source to check out many of the stories we all get via email and we are not quite sure if we can believe them, yet alone forward them on to find out our information was bad or worse yet, wrong.  There is the site called "Snopes" that many of you know about, but "Snopes" is staffed by a liberal couple who filter all conclusions toward their very liberal bias.  Not a great source for conservatives.

Cowboy Poetry

Jake, the rancher, went one day
To fix a distant fence.
The wind was cold and gusty
And the clouds rolled gray and dense.

As he pounded the last staples in
And gathered tools to go,
The temperature had fallen,
And snow began to blow.

When he finally reached his pickup,
He felt a heavy heart.
From the sound of that ignition
He knew it wouldn't start.
So Jake did what most of us
Would do if we were there.
He humbly bowed his balding head
And sent aloft a prayer.

As he turned the key the last time,
He softly cursed his luck
They found him three days later,
Frozen stiff in that old truck.

Now Jake had been around in life
And done his share of roaming.
But when he saw Heaven, he was shocked --
It looked just like Wyoming !
Of all the saints in Heaven,
His favorite was St. Peter . So they sat and talked a minute or two,
Or maybe it was three.
Nobody was keeping' score'n --

In Heaven, time is free.
'I've always heard,' Jake said to Pete ,
'that God will answer prayers,
But the one time I asked for help, Well, he just wasn't there.'

'Does God answer prayers of some,
And ignore the prayers of others?
That don't seem exactly square --
I know all men are brothers.'

'Or does he randomly reply,
Without good rhyme or reason?
Maybe, it's the time of day,
The weather or the season.'
'Now I ain't trying to act smart,
It's just the way I feel.
And I was wondering', could you tell me
What the heck's the deal?!'

Peter listened very patiently
And when Jake was done,
There were smiles of recognition,
And he said, 'So, you're the one!!'

That day your truck, it wouldn't start,
And you sent your prayer a flying,
You gave us all a real bad time,
With hundreds of us trying.'
'A thousand angels rushed,
To check the status of your file,
But you know, Jake , we hadn't heard
From you in quite a while.'
'And though all prayers are answered,
And God ain't got no quota,
He didn't recognize your voice,
And started a truck in Minnesota'!

IT'S BEST TO KEEP IN TOUCH!!

Club Scrap - the Bloggers

So I have told you about Club Scrap and their great products and fun stuff.  Well they have a couple of other things I love there. They have a couple of blogs that I follow...one of these is by Kay.  She has done of couple of things I have really enjoyed and wanted to share the link with you so you could follow her ideas as well.  They are so many ideas they have posted, I really don't think you could do them all...well, at least not if you have any life outside of crafting!

Another great blog that I follow is Tricia's.  She has some card ideas and inspiration always worth sharing.

Club Scrap Videos - Tricia

So Trisha (of Club Scrap) has all these GREAT ideas and many of them she puts into video format so you can just follow along and get some inspiration for new craft ideas.  I just love to watch the videos as they continually give me new ideas to launch from.  They are a GREAT source for fun ideas and taking you deeper into new crafting ideas.  They are continuously adding new videos so rather than just giving you one of two links, I am giving you the direct link to all the videos.  HOURS of fun is awaiting you.

Club Scrap

So I have been a huge fan of Club Scrap for about a year now and thought I would add links to the stuff they have that I love.  They have the coolest videos for some great craft ideas and they also have a couple of neat blogs.  You don't have to buy from the but you certainly can.  I find a few of their products don't compare with any others I have found out there on the web or in the craft stores.  Hope you enjoy!

National Registry of Offenders

This is not such a fun topic but a needed resource to keep your children safe.  There is a national registry of sex offenders and it is free to the public and available on-line at National Registry  You can type in a street, city, state or the name of a person and search by state to see if you have predators living near you.  This is a valuable tool to keep your family safe when at home or visiting other places.  We think because we KNOW the area we are in that we are safe.  Well, you may be surprised how many people are registered and they are in every type of neighborhood and community.  Be safe.

Mandles

This is just a funny clip that we received from a guy at church, no less.  Mandles, what every man needs.

Are Women Born This Way?

So some of you think women learn to communicate or you may think they are born this way.  Seems to me we are just born talkers! :-D

BirthVerse

Birthverse is a unique web-site where you enter a persons birthday, their birth month and then click on a button to have them show you a scripture address that corresponds to that day and month.

It is a great way to give a friend what really matters, a scripture!  This is an eternal way to celebrate their day!
