Crazy about Crazy Heart

Jeff Bridges has had a film career that most actors only dream of.

From some of my favorite roles in movies such as the Last Picture Show, Against all Odds, The Iceman Cometh, Thunderbolt and Lightfoot, The Fabulous Baker Boys, Starman, Tucker, White Squall, Fearless and one his all time best: The Big Lebowski, Jeff Bridges has never disappointed.

But I think his role in Crazy Heart is the stuff every actor must dream of getting - because this is the motherlode! He was totally mesmerizing in this role and kept me in a trance from the opening scene till the credits started rolling. I didn’t want the movie to end and to say I loved this film is an understatement.

Yes, I adored him with his braided ponytail as Bill Django in Men who Stare at Goats but I must say… Jeff Bridges has done it again in an even bigger badder way – and it would have been a total injustice had you NOT won Best Actor at the Oscars this year!

I salute you, Jeff (Bad Otis Blake) Bridges– you’re my hero to the very end.

I know it's Earth Day....

But trees aren't the only thing worth saving!

My heart is with the babies ♥
Won't you help me support Pro-Life?

All in God's Timing...

A very dear friend is a photographer that has wanted to do a photo shoot with us for about 2 months but it seemed like everytime we tried to hook up, the weather wasn't cooperating or schedules were getting in the way - one thing or another made us postpone time and time again.

I mentioned last week to both Darrell and Jim that God must have something else in store for us - because this was just wasn't working out according to our schedule.

Tonight after work, the weather was gorgeous and we met in downtown Kansas City. Jim has found some great location shoots using old abandoned warehouses and cobblestone alleyways as the backdrop.

We were moving from one shoot to another and when we pulled up to the last location to get the scene ready, a couple of homeless guys walked up. We pray for opportunities anytime we go out and sure enough, God provided another tonight. We were able to spend about an hour talking to these 2 men and sharing the Gospel with them. It was such an exhilarating and exciting time - and we pray God will use us more and more.

These awesome photos were taken by Jim Spencer Photography. If you live in the Kansas City area or are planning a trip here and are interested, I would highly recommend you book a sitting! You just never know what God is going to do during that block of time ♥

Our 109th Birthday

Tonight we were invited to a very dear family's house to celebrate mine and hubs birthdays ... collectively, we are 109 ♥

We could not love this family anymore if they were our blood relatives.

Thanks for such a wonderful time tonight, Spencer family -

you are in our hearts forever!

And although this is an older picture... it's still one of my favorites!!

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

We have been celebrating all weekend long, but on Saturday, which was my real birthday, hubs gave me a card that had me bawling like a baby.

I just want to share it with you:

Someday, years from now, when we've been together a long long time,
we'll know each other so well, you'll finish my sentences and I 'll know where you left your glasses.
You'll forgive my bad habits and I'll ignore your little quirks.
And just when our life seems safe and predictable, you'll surprise me.
For there will always be a part of you that remains a wonderful mystery to me.

(inside)
Someday, years from now,
other people might look at us and see an old married couple, but I wont
Every time I look at you or touch you or kiss you,
I'll still see the amazing person I fell in love with long ago.
Happy Birthday.

Because of Him!

I'm so thankful for the finished work on the Cross
and knowing that Christ died for ME.

I love You Lord
and I lift my voice
To worship You
O my soul, rejoice!

Take joy, my King
in what you hear
May it be a sweet, sweet sound
in Your ear.

Sneaky Peeky....

Yet Another Classic Comeback...

In an recent interview, General Norman Schwarzkopf was asked if he thought there was room for forgiveness toward the people who have harbored and abetted the terrorists who perpetrated the 9/11 attacks on America.

His answer was classic Schwarzkopf.

The General said, "I believe that forgiving them is God's function .... OUR job is to arrange the meeting.

Best Comeback Line

If you've ever testified in court, you might wish you could have been

as sharp as this policeman.

He was being cross-examined by a defense attorney during a felony trial.
The lawyer was trying to undermine the police officer's credibility .....



Q: 'Officer --- did you see my client fleeing the scene?'

A: 'No sir. But I subsequently observed a person matching the description of the offender, running several blocks away.'
Q: 'Officer -- who provided this description?'

A: 'The officer who responded to the scene.'
Q: 'A fellow officer provided the description of this so-called offender. Do you trust your fellow officers?'

A: 'Yes, sir. With my life.'
Q: 'With your life? Let me ask you this then officer. Do you have a room where you change your clothes in preparation for your daily duties?'

A: 'Yes sir, we do!'
Q: 'And do you have a locker in the room?'

A: 'Yes sir, I do.'
Q: 'And do you have a lock on your locker?'

A: 'Yes sir.'
Q: 'Now why is it, officer, if you trust your fellow officers with your life, you find it necessary to lock your locker in a room you share with these same officers?'

A: 'You see, sir -- we share the building with the court complex, and sometimes lawyers have been known to walk through that room.'


The courtroom EXPLODED with laughter, and a prompt recess was called. The officer on the stand has been nominated for this year's 'Best Comeback' line and I think he'll win.... don't you? :)

2010 is an Election Year....

Retribution can come in Nov, 2010!

Take a look at this and remember when elections come round in November 2010:

1. U..S. House & Senate have voted themselves $4,700 and $5,300 raises.
2. They voted to NOT give you a Social Security Cost of living raise in 2010 and 2011.
3. Your Medicare premiums will go up $285.60 for the 2-years
4. You will not get the 3% COLA: $660/yr.
5. Your total 2-yr loss and cost is -$1,600 or -$3,200 for husband and wife.
6. Over these same 2-years each Congress person will get anadditional $10,000
7. Do you feel SCREWED YET?
8. Will your cost of drugs,doctor fees, local taxes and food decrease? NO WAY!!.

Congress and all Federal Employees received a raise and have better health and retirement benefits than you or I will ever have!!!
AT NO COST TO THEM! (BTW, your taxes pay for it all)

And why should they care about us? We have never done anything about it in the past. They get away with it because we haven't done anything about it up till now. Do you really think that Nancy, Harry, Barney, et al, care about you?

Send this message out to BOTH parties: "YOU'RE FIRED!"

In 2010 you will have a chance to get rid of the sitting Congress: up to 1/3 of the Senate and 100% of the House!

Maybe it's time for Amendment 28 to the Constitution..

28th Amendment will be as follows:

"Congress shall make no law that applies to the citizens of the United States that does not apply equally to the Senators or Representatives, and Congress shall make no law that applies to the Senators or Representatives that does not apply equally to the citizens of the United States .."

All of these people in Washington have brought this upon themselves! It's time for retribution.

Let's take back America!
