Favorite Friday: my Big Brown Brother, the US Marine Corporal
(these unedited photos are by our dear, multi-talented Mother)
The Sacred Hour
This is my favorite time,
here at my desk:
the window open to the
lilting breeze, which makes
the leafy congregations whisper hymns
to the strings of kaytidian quartets.
In equal reverence I watch
the house behind slip into shadow,
the whole neighborhood subdued to rest.
I wish I could stay,
me and my book,
in the peaceful hour, when,
for a moment everything slows,
reflecting on the slow slip of time
in every sliver of sunset.
This is one of the funniest little videos I have EVER seen. A Sketchy Duel in which a gentleman challenges another to a duel. The loser will die in an instant, from one swift shot. Or not…
Favorite Friday: Star Fish
I mean, they’re real, live, colorful stars that cling to barnacle covered rocks which sit in the delightful light that is shade just on the edge of light… what’s not to love?? Especially the orange ones. :)

Be of good cheer. Do not think of today’s failures, but of the success that may come tomorrow. You have set yourself a difficult task, but you will succeed if you persevere; and you will find a joy in overcoming obstacles.

psalm 130
Out of the depths I have cried to You, O LORD; Lord, hear my voice!
Let Your ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications.
If You, LORD, should mark iniquities, O Lord, who could stand?
But there is forgiveness with You, that You may be feared.
I wait for the LORD, my soul waits, And in His word I do hope.
My soul waits for the Lord more than those who watch for the morning
yes, more than those who watch for the morning.
O Israel, hope in the LORD; for with the LORD there is mercy,
And with Him is abundant redemption.
He shall redeem Israel From all his iniquities.
Today is the beginning of something new on this here blog of mine… Welcome to the very first “Favorite Friday” post on HannahGirl!
Allow me to introduce you to this week’s Favorite, THE Amber Parrow!
Amber is a web geek / graphic & web designer based in the beautiful state of Oklahoma. She’s a wife and the stay-at-home mom of 3 goobers. You simply can’t meet an awesomer or sweeter gal. I mean she likes elephants and ran with that love for her web presence! How cool is that? But don’t let me give it all away, go check out her online-ness for yourself: website | facebook | twitter
And now that you know a bit about this Favorite Friday thing, be sure and let me know what you think. :)
Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts.
