Job lost his family, his belongings and became ill, . . . → Read More: Are You Covered In Ashes?

So we’re in a ‘temporary’ housing situation that at times has been trying, but we have survived. I don’t always feel like I’ve actually conquered it, but at least with God’s hand, I’ve been standing my ground, or at least, a year later, I’m still here!

Last winter, I would walk by a house . . . → Read More: Of Patience and Pears!

WATCH AND PRAY

He found me sleeping

And called my name,

Early morning

rising sun

chirping birds

cool blue river

Line floats

in the air

touch the surface

breathe a prayer

Shoulders ease

flick of wrist

waters break

Jumping crickets wind their way 'cross flares of dry grass

Under shade of cottonwood limbs

Lay young dreamers of distant exploits and the grandeur of mighty tasks

Yes the long hot days and muggy nights of summer

What’s Your Style?

V Hieb — Sun, 14 Jun 2009 06:53:12 +0000

So I wanted this website to have more of a blog style. A little less formal – a little more relaxed – just the walking it out day-to-day. Some thoughts, some art, some preachin', some dreaming…with the hopes of it being a little more active!

I didn't think I was doing a good job . . . → Read More: What’s Your Style?

Does something look out of place in the picture below?

How about this one?

Seems people have been finding things to do with strings for thousands of years! All the way from the Americas, China, Greece and the Philippines. And even though there are a few rumors of . . . → Read More: Yo, Yo-Yo!

Just A String

V Hieb — Wed, 04 Feb 2009 00:01:26 +0000

It still amazes me what you can do starting with just a string!

One of my favorite books growing up was "A Big Ball of String" by Marion Holland about a little boy who begins by gathering pieces of string and then finds inventive uses for his collection.

I started my own collection and . . . → Read More: Just A String

PreNup Challenge

Just watched a really cool show called Prenup Challenge.

It's amazing in that the couples are put on an island and have to actually learn how to communicate and work together.

They learn that to truly win takes more skills of cooperation than over-exaggerations of competition.

Wow, a survival game that . . . → Read More: PreNup Challenge
