THE PENITENT

This week has been a sad week. My cousin in law committed suicide. Leaving behind two sons. The funeral was extremely sad, especially to see my family mourning. The next morning i came upon this Anne Bronte poem, which has always been a favorite of mine...and I can't help but think of my cousin Rebecca and her two boys. I love how it talks about our sorrows and hurts...but that there will be joy in heaven. Always pressing on towards the goal.

THE PENITENT
by: Anne Bronte (1820-1849)


MOURN with thee, and yet rejoice
That thou shouldst sorrow so;
With angel choirs I join my voice
To bless the sinner's woe.


Though friends and kindred turn away,
And laugh thy grief to scorn;
I hear the great Redeemer say,
"Blessed are ye that mourn."

Hold on thy course, nor deem it strange
That earthly cords are riven:
Man may lament the wondrous change,
But "there is joy in heaven!"

THAT THERE IS JOY IN HEAVEN!

Gone with the Wind

My mother has been begging me to read Gone With the Wind for as long as I can remember but I don't like to read books after I have already seen the movies...i just get bored and want to fast forward to the good parts.

That never happened with Gone with the Wind. From Cover to cover I could not stop reading it. It was awesome. In the film, Scarlett is a bratty teenager who just wants attention. In the book she is a woman who is ahead of her time and who wants to truly live and not be confined to the patterns of her society. I could not help but love her! And not to mention Mr. Sexy Rhett! Ugh...he is just such a firm and brilliant man!

Read it! I know you'll love it!

Seven Years in Tibet

This movie is so beautiful. It is a little slow but the cinematography and the themes are so beautiful that it has become one of my favorite movies!

"We have a saying in Tibet: If a problem can be solved there is no use worrying about it. If it can't be solved, worrying will do no good."

Loved this movie

It took me some time after I watched this movie to fully appreciate it. I have the same personality as main male character...so it was a little hard to watch at times. But over all I really appreciated it and enjoyed it. not to mention how beautifully made this movie was!
