You Gotta Love Country

Among many other lovely gifts, for Christmas, Steven made me a CD with my favorite Country Songs. I know some of you are rolling your eyes, but I have a case to make for country music. No, it’s not all twangy and it’s not all about drunks and lost loves. Quite the contrary some of the most beautiful lyrics can be found among Country’s best hits. Here’s a sample of the words to my favorite songs:

When I get where I’m going

When I get where I’m going
On the far side of the sky
The first thing that I’m gonna do
Is spread my wings and fly

I’m gonna land beside a lion
And run my fingers through his mane
Or I might find out what it’s like
To ride a drop of rain
But when I get where I’m going
And I see my maker’s face
I’ll stand forever in the light
Of his amazing grace

Live like you were dyin’

Well I finally read the good book, and I took a good long hard look
At what I’d do if I could do it all again
And then

Chorus
I went skydiving
I went rocky mountain climbing
I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Man Shu
And I loved deeper
And I spoke sweeter
And I gave forgiveness I’d been denyin’
And he said some day I hope you get the chance
To live like you were dyin’

Bridge
Like tomorrow was the end
And ya got eternity to think about what to do with it

My wish

My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,
your dreams stay big, your worries stay small,
You never need to carry more than you can hold,
and while you’re out there getting where you’re getting to,
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,
Yeah, this, is my wish.

I hope you never look back, but you never forget,
all the ones who love you, in the place you left,
I hope you always forgive, and you never regret,
and you help somebody every chance you get,
Oh, you find God’s grace, in every mistake,
and always give more than you take.

Jesus take the wheel

Jesus take the wheel
Take it from my hands
Cause I can’t do this all on my own
I’m letting go
So give me one more chance
To save me from this road I’m on
Jesus take the wheel

She’s Everything

She’s the giver I wish I could be
And the stealer of the covers
She’s a picture in my wallet
Of my unborn children’s mother
She’s the hand that I’m holding
When I’m on my knees and praying
She’s the answer to my prayer
And she’s the song that I’m playing

She’s the voice I love to hear
Someday when I’m ninety
She’s that wooden rocking chair
I want rocking right beside me
Everyday that passes
I only love her more
Yeah, she’s the one
That I’d lay down my own life for

You see Country is about people, about loving God, your love, your family and your country.
Country music always tells a story and I love it!

December Fun

On december 9th, my good friend Reese invited Steven and I to her CD release. It was fabulous, she is a very talented saxophone player and singer. The opening numbers before her, were very good, great gospel music. It was a night full of fun and worship. Our other friend Britt was there and we all had a great time.

Last week my honey took some beautiful pictures of the sunset and I have included one of them.  This past Saturday, on December 16th I was invited to a Tea Party. I had never been to one. It was wonderful, I had Candy Cane Lane Tea and Cranberry-Orange Scones.

My Little Gang- Sculpey Creations by Sudi

I’ve been working with Sculpey lately, my new hobby, kind of out-of-charater since I am not one-bit-crafty but it’s been fun. Sculpey is colored clay that can be baked.

For all my friends -Erin and Noelle- in Colorado who want a Sculpey tutorial, here it is.

All suplies can be bought at your local craft store.

Sculpey comes in little 2 ounce blocks. You can buy them individually and pick your favorite colors or buy them in multi-packs which is cheaper and well worth it, IF you like all the colors in the set.

You will also need a set of basic plastic tools. Do not use kitchen tools.

    

Zip Lock Bags to put all your sculpey in by color. It keeps it neat and fresh.

If you want to polish your creations you can buy Matte or Glossy Lacquer.

To make pencil heads you will also need to buy cheap pencils at Target or Wal-Mart. I reccomend fun pencils as opposed to the regular yellow ones.

Also buy a small plastic container to put all your supplies in.

If you are making Christmas Ornaments you need the hooks, etc.

Sculpey is pretty hard so before you mold it you will need to soften it with your hands. You can either make your own creations, get ideas from Sculpey.com or buy Sculpey molds which ever you prefer.

Sculpey creations must be baked at 275 degrees for 30 minutes. Place a sheet of aluminun foil on cookie sheet and place creations on it. (not directly on cookie sheet since you use that for food).

Please remember never to eat snacks while you are “crafting”. When you are done, wash your hands thoroughly.

And now presenting Sudi’s creations…. “My Little Gang” (click to enlarge)
