You Have What It Takes

I would like to share my favorite poem! Unfortunately I don't know the author.

YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES

Figure it out for yourself, my lad

You have all that the greatest of men have had:

Two arms, two hands, two legs, two eyes,

And a brain to use- if you would be wise.

With this equipment they all began,

So start from the top and say "I can"!

Look them over, the wise and great,

They take their food from a common plate.

Similar knives and forks they use,

And with similar laces they tie their shoes.

The world considers them brave and smart,

But you have all they had when they got their start.

You can triumph and come to skill

You can be great if you only will!

You're well equipped for the fight you choose-

You have arms and legs and a brain to use

And the man who has arisen, great deeds to do,

Began his life with no more than you.

But you are the handicap you must face.

You are the one who must choose your place.

You must say where you want to go,

How much you will study the truth you know.

GOD has equipped you for life, you see,

But He lets you decide what you want to be.

Courage comes from the soul within

The man must furnish the will to win

So figure it out for yourself, my lad;

You were born with all that the greats have had

With your eqippment they all began,

So get a hold of yourself and say, "I can"!

Vacation Pics Part 2

Better late than never right? :-)








This is Thomas Jefferson's home... Monticello. We got to tour it in Charlottesville, Virginia.



I know this picture is a little blurry, but they were selling this in the gift shop. I thought it was awesome.




This is one of Thomas Jefferson's famous quotes. I agree!

Okay so be checking back for part 3!

Too Funny!

How I learned to mind my own business: One day I was walking past a mental hospital and heard all the patients yelling "13.....13....13....13". The fence was too high to see over. So I put my eye to a hole in the fence to see what was going on. I was promptly poked in the eye with a stick.......and they all started yelling "14....14.....14...14!".  Hehehehe

Vacation Pictures Part 1

About 3 weeks ago (I should have blogged sooner, I know) we went on family vacation to Baltimore/Washington D.C./Virginia. We had a blast! Here are some pics I took to document our trip...
