Own Little World

Partake of Some Refreshment

Asleep in Christ

The evening that we flew into Vilnius, our host took us to this cemetary. Buried there, were the last 14 partisins killed for Lithuanian re-independance. They died while protecting the TV tower in Vilnius in January of 1991.

Opposites

As a side note:

One month 'till Lithuania!!!! :D Mom has been trying to learn Lithuanian with some language CDs. She is very happy to have finished all the lessons and to be able to say things to us in Lithuanian. In contrast, the only things I know how to say in Lithuanian is "Excuse me" and "No Sir", which is all that ones needs to know anyways. Right?

Ice

Glass in the sunlight

We were cleaning in preparation for thanksgiving and had both sides of the glass cupboard open so the sun was shining nicely through the glasses making them sparkle. Mom thought it was a little weird of me to take photos of the glasses. : )

Lo! He comes with clouds descending..

Lo! He comes with clouds descending,

Once for ev'ry sinner slain;

Thousand, thousand saints attending
Swell the triump of his train:

Aleluia, aleluia, aleluia!

Christ the Lord returns to reign.

Ev'ry eye shall now behold him

Robed in glorious majesty;

Those who set at naught and sold him,

Pierced and nailed him to the tree,

Deeply wailing, deeply wailing, deeply wailing,

Shall their true Messiah see.

Those dear tokens of His passion

Still His dazzling body bears,

Cause of endless exualtation

To His randsomed worshipers.

With what rapture, with what rapture, with what rapture,

Gaze we on those glorius scars!

Yea, amen let all adore Thee,

High on Thine eternal throne;

Savior, take the power and glory,

Claim the kingdom as Thine own.

Aleluia, Aleluia, Aleluia!

Thou shalt reign and Thou alone!

Looking Up

I don't know quite why, but I don't really like the way this one turned out.

After the rain has passed...
