When In Rome- "The Promise"

There were no good videos to go along with this....Some of you may recognize the song from one of my all time favorite movies Napoleon Dynamite but it has such beautiful lyrics!

Interesting Places & People

My family and I have always found Cemetaries beautiful.  Especially when you've learned the Truth about death from the Bible, cemetaries take on a whole different meaning.  Often people speak of the History that can be found as you wander looking through the different engravings and I've stumbled upon a few interesting ones. 



For example did you know that here in El Paso's Concordia Cemetary the legendary outlaw, John Wesley Hardin is buried. 

Or that in the Allegheny Cemetary in Pittsburgh, PA the famous composer Stephen C. Foster is buried.

So as you're battling the winter cold and snow, or the desert wind perhaps you can take time out to wander through one of these little gems.  After all, we should probably familiarize ourselves with those we will hopefully have the opportunity to meet one day :)

I also came across a few famous people from here in the Wild Wild West of El Paso:
Billy the Kid
Calamity Jane
Pancho Villa

Tidbits from Yahoo

Saw some of the top photos of the week featured on yahoo today.  If any of you missed them I thought I'd share it below.  Just thought it was too unique to not share.

Mornings

Stefan wrote us all this morning at a lovely 4:30am (don't think he realized the time difference, he was so pumped I'm sure with adrenaline) to say he was on his way to Morning Worship.  So excited for him!  What a beautiful privilege to have this opportunity to serve Jehovah.  Jehovah's organization holds out so many unique opportunities and facets of service.  Like Belinda's brief teaser summary of the 2011 yearbook she sent the other day, it reminds us that our worldwide brotherhood is such a beautiful thing to be a part of. 



Pablo Picasso

I've always found it fascinating to witness the evolution of an artist's work as they progress through new and exciting medias.  One of the most interesting I've found is the work of Pablo Picasso.  His work has elements of both the late Impressionism period and the Modern era.  I find all of his work fascinating but came across some of his works that are less familiar and I thought I would share these with you.  Such discoveries I can not keep to myself.
