Cypress Tree

Most cypress trees aren't much to look at, but this one has interesting colors in its peeling bark.

I love fixing things up, don't you?

Psalm 80

Here's a good recording of Psalm 80 in Romanian.

When they go up high at about 1:40 and others is when they're singing "Turn us again, oh God, cause thy face to shine, and we will be saved."

Psalm 91

Here is an amateur singer singing Psalm 91 in Romanian. As far as I can tell, the words are fairly close to the original. It's a wonderful Psalm, and it sounds wonderful in Romanian, too.

I found and downloaded a book from the internet that happened to contain the music and words to it, along with some man-made hymns.

After considerable research, I also found a book of all the psalms with tunes, which I would like to buy if I can figure out how to get the website to work. I can pay for it in either lei or ron, whatever those are.

Unbelievable

There are so many ways to get a headache. Eat wrong, sleep wrong, exercise too little--or too much on a hot day, read too much or in bad light, cry too much, wear earphones too long, and now I've got another one--comb your hair the wrong way. After two hours I guess I need some aspirin.

Is As Pi Rip Sin Sip Sir Sap Rain Air Pin Snip Sprain Raisin Spin Spar Rap Asp Spa Pain -- That's what you can get out of the word "aspirin."

Only here they call it Acamol -- Am Cola Coal Clam Alamo Cam

You can learn many things from children. How much patience you have, for instance. Franklin Jones

What's another word for "Thesaurus?" Steven Wright

I used to think I was indecisive, but now I’m not too sure.

I'm writing a book. I've got the page numbers done. Steven Wright

I hate housework! You make the beds, do the dishes and six months later you have to start all over again. Joan Rivers

Now that last one was SERIOUSLY FUNNY!!!

Psalm 61

A beautiful and moving version of Psalm 61 in Romanian. I wish I could write beautiful songs like this. Someday, maybe I'll even go to Romania and get a blessing.
