*gasps and falls over laughing*

OK, while looking up elvish words and names for my latest post on the FT Fellowship blog, I ran into the most rediculous, absurd, inaccurate and hysterical "synopsis" of the Lord of the Rings I have ever read! (Courtesy of Arwen-Undomiel.com) Enjoy!

A Brief Synopsis of The Lord of the Rings
One of the often-recurring requests on the newsgroup
rec.arts.books.tolkien is from students requesting a synopsis of J.R.R. Tolkien's epic work The Lord of the Rings. The work is extremely long, and because of this many students simply can't find the time to give the work a thorough reading before giving a written report on it. In the interests of cutting down the number of requests for this material, I have written a short synopsis of the three volumes which make up the Lord of the Rings as well as an accompanying synopsis for Tolkien's posthumous book The Silmarillion.
As an added supplement, I have also listed some possible topics for term-papers and book reports for those who don't feel a desire to come up with their own.

Of course, I feel compelled to point out that a much better understanding of Tolkien's work can be achieved by reading the actual books;.... READ THE FUNNY PART HERE!!!!

(And then leave your thoughts!)

Photos from camp!!!!!

Yes, they are finally here! Many apologizes, here is the album, let me know if it doesn't work and I will attempt to change/fix it! There are two, one from camp, another of the camp skits. Enjoy!!!!

Happy Birthday!


For my third post today, I would like to wish my grandma a very Happy Birthday!


Dear Grandma, may God continue to bless you, today and every day of your life. And may you have many more!


With love,
Your grandkids

Lady Rose, Miss von Gibbs, Yaviel, Beccyboo, Bubba, Rosebud and Buddy



TODAY!!!!

World Youth Day starts today in Sydeny Australia! If you are like me - not in Sydeny - I added a list of links to my sidebar to help us all keep in touch with the events down under! May God Bless all those who are there, may they have beautiful weather, a wonderful time, and may those of us who have never been to one of the World Youth Day's someday have the opprotunity to go!



Tagged again!

My dear "daughter" Raewyn (will post about my internet relations soon!) Tagged me with this um... sometime in the last few days. So here it is! I tagg My mom, Autumn Rose, Regina Doman, Kaila, Hannah, Vicki and the girls at the ModestTeen blog!

I am: A Princess of God

I think: happy thoughts as often as I can

I know: that God has given me great talents

I have: a fun family

I wish: I could be sure that all those I love and know will go to heaven

I hate: uncertainty in my life

I miss: friends that I don' see anymore

I fear: hell

I feel: peaceful, happy and (at the moment) slightly stressed.

I hear: A Veggie Tales movie playing behind me!

I smell: The fresh sent of country air

I crave: Books books and more books!

I search: for God's will in my life

I wonder: What Heaven is like

I regret: losing my temper with my siblings and not being a good friend

I love: Everyone and everything I can!

I ache: For all those who are suffering grief and loss

I am not: pessimistic about the future

I believe: In God the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ His only Son Our Lord who concieved by the power of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried. He decsended into hell and rose on the third day. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right of God the Father Almighty, from thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church, the Communion of Saints, the forgiveness of sin and the resurection of the body and life everlasting. AMEN!

I dance: With joy

I sing: Slightly off key

I cry: When I am down and oh, my soul's so weary.

I don't always: exhibit charity as I ought to.

I fight: Against the perverse culture of our world.

I write: To organize my thoughts and speak what is in my heart

I win: whenever I can.

I lose: when I can't win.

I never: take God's name in vain or doubt His love for me

I always: try to pray as often as I can

I confuse: My non-history buff friends with my craziness over people who have been dead for at least 100 years. (Namly General Lee, Colonel Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain and Colonel Walter Taylor... and General JEB Stuart!)

I listen: With rapt attention... especially if I am in trouble or am being given important instructions

I can usually be found: With a book or the computer

I am scared: of heights

I need: plenty of love, attention and positive reinforcment for my survial.

I am happy about: the wonderful things God has given me.

I imagine: like Raewyn, that Middle Earth is real and that elves still live hidden in the world along with hobbits and the race of Numenor. I also imagine that the world of Redwall is hiding out there somewhere, waiting for me to stumble across it. Oh yes, I also like to imagine that I am related to General Robert E. Lee (I am not.)

I am wearing: The ever popular Wal-Mart denim tiered skirt and a t-shirt.

and I felt like adding one of my own:

I look forward too: Getting married and going to heaven!
