Welcome - Stan and Ann's Ramblings

this link will not work till after 3:30 pm. today...


Louise, Jake's Beagle, hit on some deer this am and here is what it was looking like!

She chased the scent all the way past 68th this am... haha...

Don't want to bore you so you will have to hunt for the rest of the gems from todays walk in the photos section. There a few more.. but it was an awesome day! And to top it off, I have talked with two of my sons, Phil and Jake! Wow... how cool is that!! Enjoy the day 

this is one happy dog. Louise is about to hit on some deer... and shortly after, she took off and chased them across 68th Avenue... you hear her go on and on... and she was excited... there is a movie of it, I will put up later on today....  

And after that prayer... of thanks... he sends us his signal he has received it ... but showering us with yet another sign of his awesome beauty....  

There is not the slightest doubt in my mind that there is not a Creator of this universe! God is alive, and shares with us His beauty everyday in some way! You had to be there and see this beauty ... for real... to hear the sounds of God, to see His beauty, to smell his beauty... to feel your eyes getting moist as you bow and thank Him for all he has given you... for to Him we owe it all!  

One only had to look past the thistles to see all the beauty of the day! 

the thistles were not scared.... of the weather. They just probably are wondering... When will it rain... 

We had some big ole bad looking clouds overhead today... early. 

Beautiful day, warm, actually hot, and humid and dry... but the birds were still waiting on me this am... 

Christians - By Maya Angelou

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not shouting "I'm clean livin'."
I'm whispering "I was lost,
Now I'm found and forgiven."

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble
and need Christ to be my guide.

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak
And need His strength to carry on.

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed
And need God to clean my mess.

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible
But, God believes I am worth it.

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I still feel the sting of pain.
I have my share of heartaches
So I call upon His name.

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner
Who received God's good grace, somehow!
