Enjoy this little unprofessional slideshow of pictures from near our home here in Bolivia, along with my sisters and I playing I'm just a Wayfaring Stranger on Flute, Violin and Piano.

Feline & Equine- My 3 Favorite Animals, Wisdom and Relationships
My three favorite animals are probably cats, horses and deer. Interesting; when I
stop and think about it, those three all have common traits; they're
attractive, poised, graceful, and in a way independent, yet very
relational; they all speak a very complex and subtle language, which is only recognized if a person knows them and is paying attention.
They respond positively to calm, quiet gentleness and kindness.
Harshness, manhandling, force, loud noises and action all produce very
negative effects on their behavior, and destroy relationships. Winning
their affections and devotion is a notable feat, a wonderful experience,
and requires patience and a certain amount of giving into the relationship- not just taking or using.
I wonder if there's an analogy here, or any insight into my life or the mind of God? Does this tell me something about myself and how my heart operates? Does it teach me anything about the Lord's way of working with people? What about effective/wise methods of responding to, working with or building relationships with people?? Training children? Leading lost or hurting people to Jesus? Influencing and impacting others? Giving and receiving love? I'm just beginning to grasp this- this whole- concept I guess?? It's an idea, the beginning of an idea, a gem of insight...still on the tip of my brain...
"But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and the fowls of the air, and they shall tell thee." Job 12:7
"Understanding is a wellspring of life unto him that hath it." Prov. 16:22
"Wisdom is the principle thing; therefore get wisdom,...get understanding." Prov. 4:7
"O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are His judgements, and His ways past finding out!" Rom. 11:33

Be Thou My Vision Trio- Kris, Val & Vic
Yesterday we three oldest decided to record our arrangement of this beautiful hymn with violin (me), penny whistle (Kristin), and piano (Valerie). Danielle (age 11) was our videographer. It's far from perfect, and the video quality is horrible, sorry. :(
Toward the end I added a few bloopers. :)

"It's Like It Was Designed"
"We are deliciously complex at the molecular level...we don't understand
ourselves yet... there is still a metaphysical, magical element about
us... but what really astounds me is the architecture of life... the
system is extremely complex. It's like it was designed."
