Beyond the Prairie DVD Releases
I am looking forward to November 23! This DVD releases then and I am hoping to either purchase it or get it for Christmas. I think I saw this movie when it released on CBS back in 2002 and I remember seeing it then. I just love the story of Laura Ingalls, and I know this would make a wonderful addition to my movie collection!

Dear America book by Kristiana Gregory - Mini Review by me
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
It's been awhile since I've read this, but it was one of my favorite books in the Dear America series. I read it when I was sixteen. It took me only an hour to read it. Kristiana Gregory did a fantastic job! I was engrossed in every page of each adventure!

Who ever heard of such thing? Mail-Order Cowboy?! That really sparked my attention! The first chapter has got me totally engrossed! It's about this circle of friends in the 1800s. After the Civil War, many of the men that were single were killed or MIA; so there's no one for a group of friends to marry. One gets an idea to put an ad in the Houston paper for Mail-Order grooms. They all have family ranches that they can't run on their own. A cowboy reads the article, and while on his way to a job in Houston, he stops by the women's small town. When he arrives the one with the idea's ranch hand is hurt and he offers to stay until he's well again. That's the farthest I've read. But I know it will be a great read!

Book Cabinet
I made good use of my family's old TV cabinet! In the cabinet I placed some of my book collection inside. My book collection is well over 500! Including almost the entire collection of Nancy Drew books and my massive collection of Historical Christian Novels.

Inkheart - Movie Review
If you liked the movies "Journey to the Center of the Earth" and "Chronicles of Narnia" this is the film for you! "Inkheart" was released in 2007 starring Brendan Fraiser and Helen Mirren. I've been wanting to see this movie for a long time and when I spotted it on the shelf for $5, I grabbed it. I had seen "Journey to the Center of the Earth" with Brendan Fraiser and really liked his acting, so that was a thumbs up when I saw him on the cover!

Etsy
Anyways, I am hoping to sell quiet a few over there. I have had good luck selling on eBay, but it's hard listing jewelry with cars and movies. If only I could have a separate eBay for jewelry. But then I'd have to have 2 paypals and 2 bank accounts. lol. Too much trouble and hassle!

Where Were You
Where were you when the world stopped turning that September day
Out in the yard with your wife and children
Working on some stage in LA
Did you stand there in shock at the site of
That black smoke rising against that blue sky
Did you shout out in anger
In fear for your neighbor
Or did you just sit down and cry
Did you weep for the children
Who lost their dear loved ones
And pray for the ones who don't know
Did you rejoice for the people who walked from the rubble
And sob for the ones left below
Did you burst out in pride
For the red white and blue
The heroes who died just doing what they do
Did you look up to heaven for some kind of answer
And look at yourself to what really matters
I'm just a singer of simple songs
I'm not a real political man
I watch CNN but I'm not sure I can tell you
The difference in Iraq and Iran
But I know Jesus and I talk to God
And I remember this from when I was young
Faith hope and love are some good things he gave us
And the greatest is love
Where were you when the world stopped turning that September day
Teaching a class full of innocent children
Driving down some cold interstate
Did you feel guilty cause you're a survivor
In a crowded room did you feel alone
Did you call up your mother and tell her you love her
Did you dust off that bible at home
Did you open your eyes and hope it never happened
Close your eyes and not go to sleep
Did you notice the sunset the first time in ages
Speak with some stranger on the street
Did you lay down at night and think of tomorrow
Go out and buy you a gun
Did you turn off that violent old movie you're watching
And turn on "I Love Lucy" reruns
Did you go to a church and hold hands with some stranger
Stand in line and give your own blood
Did you just stay home and cling tight to your family
Thank God you had somebody to love
I'm just a singer of simple songs
I'm not a real political man
I watch CNN but I'm not sure I can tell you
The difference in Iraq and Iran
But I know Jesus and I talk to God
And I remember this from when I was young
Faith hope and love are some good things he gave us
And the greatest is love
I'm just a singer of simple songs
I'm not a real political man
I watch CNN but I'm not sure I can tell you
The difference in Iraq and Iran
But I know Jesus and I talk to God
And I remember this from when I was young
Faith hope and love are some good things he gave us
And the greatest is love
The greatest is love
The greatest is love

Broken
Then it starts to rain, my defenses hit the ground
And they shatter all around, so open and exposed
I found strength in the struggle
Face to face with my trouble
When you're broken in a million little pieces
And you're trying but you can't hold on anymore
Every tear falls down for a reason
Don't you stop believing in yourself
When you're broken
Little girl don't be so blue
I know what you're going through
Don't let it beat you up
Hitting walls and getting scars
Only makes you who you are
Only makes you who you are
No matter how much your heart is aching
There is beauty in the breaking
Yeah
When you're broken in a million little pieces
And you're trying but you can't hold on anymore
Every tear falls down for a reason
Don't you stop believing in yourself
When you're broken
Better days are gonna find you once again
Every piece will find its place
When you're broken, when you're broken
When you're broken in a million little pieces
And you're trying but you can't hold on anymore
Every tear falls down for a reason
Don't you stop believing in yourself
When you're broken

The Good Lord and the Man
Well he was one of the millions
who signed up to defend us
long ago in 1941
when they sucker punched us in Pearl Harbor
He fought under MacArthur seventeen with an army Thompson gun
Well he stormed a lot of beaches slept in jungles with the leaches
he saw things young man should never see
and when they shot him in the shoulder
he got back up and he marched over
left a lot of brothers dead in kawagalie
If it wasn’t for the Good Lord and the man
There wouldn’t be a breath of freedom in this land
and I see people on my T.V. taking shots at uncle Sam
I hope they always remember why they can
Cause we’d all be speakin’ German livin’ under the flag of Japan
If it wasn’t for the Good Lord and the man
If it wasn’t for the Good Lord and the man
Well I’m the grandson of a soldier and I’d fight the whole world over
if duty called and freedoms on the line
but thanks to the greatest generation and the ones still fighting for our nation
I’ve never had to kill for my way of life
If it wasn’t for the Good Lord and the man
There wouldn’t be a breath of freedom in this land
and I see people on my T.V. taking shots at uncle Sam
I hope they always remember why they can
Cause we’d all be speakin’ German livin’ under the flag of Japan
If it wasn’t for the Good Lord and the man
If it wasn’t for the Good Lord and the man
