Christmas Music

Well, it is Chrismas so I thought I would post a mix of the same Christmas Carol by four different artists.  I picked “Joy to the World”.  The artists were (in order):

Manhiem Steamroller
TransSiberian Orchestra
Misc Hymn Collection
Toby Keith

The biggest thing I find interesting is everyone’s take on the song.  You can clearly see their style reflected in the music.  Manhiem is big into BIG music, TransSiberian likes to mash things up, you have the traditional take, then you have Toby.

Taming the Tiger

TamingTheTigerCoverI just finished reading this book called Taming the Tiger by Tony Anthony.  He was a kung fu master who came to know Jesus while in jail.  The book is awesome and I think, obviously because I’m writing this, that everyone ought to read it.

[Edited 11-29-2008 14:14:11] It seems there is quite a bit of discussion on the internet about Tony and his kung fu.  I didn’t read about it before I read the book.  I don’t know if it is true or not.  Just thought I should let you know.

Deer Season (aka Thanksgiving)

Well, it is nearing Thanksgiving in the US and deer season is in full swing in my home state of West Virginia. This will be the first time in several years that I haven’t been able to get in the woods with a gun for…I don’t know how long. While I may not have always made opening day, I ALWAYS made muzzleloader season.

So, while you are in the US suiting up in the morning, eat a bowl of oats (with rasins added at the last minute) for me. Enjoy your time on the stand. And when you get cold, take a short mijander (meander?) through the woods for me. Once you get your harvest, thank God for giving you one of His creatures.

Have a safe hunt and enjoy the time with family. Have a great Thanksgiving too.

Snow!!

It’s snowing in Cacak!  A big cold front blew in last night after pretty mild weather yesterday.  The ground is still too warm, and also too wet from the rain that fell through the night, for anything to stick.  But it’s still snow, even if it’s mostly some pitiful flurries 🙂

Our first snow in Serbia!  We are very excited and even have some pics of snow on the ground in the hills/mountains outside of town.  The flurries didn’t last, but the view from our window is still awesome and we’re ready for “mnogo sneg.”  Volimo sneg (we love snow)!!
