My Horses

2011-12-21T18:51:00.000-08:00

Hey it's Savannah... i just wanted to post here about a few of my friends.... the horses at the farm. I don't own a horse, but I hope to someday. First and foremost is Conner, my favorite. He is an adorable little Flea Bite and the sweetest thing ever! He follows me around like a puppy... he's a lazy thing, too. When I'm tacking him he lays his head on my shoulder and starts to fall asleep. He's also really skittish. He won't even go near the rodeo ring at the farm, even when it's empty because he's scared of it. He loves to run with the herd out in the fields, but as soon as he sees me he perks his ears up, trots over to the fence and puts his head over it so I can pet him. There's another horse kind of like that at the farm. His name is Doc; a big, beautiful Golden Palomino. He loves people too. Sometimes he's way on the other side of the huge, open green field, so far I can barely see him, and then I just whistle for him, and he jumps up and starts to gallop toward me. He looks almost like a phantom horse, with the light shining through his golden mane and tail, and his hooves going so fast they barely touch the ground. Another of my favorites is Moon. She's two years old now, a gorgeous Buckskin filly. Her mother was named star for the white star shaped mark on her forehead, and Moon was given her name for her mark of a white crescent moon. She is in training right now, and she's a smart little thing. I guess in horse terms she's in kindergarten. She's pretty wild, and not as comfortable around humans as the others. But still, she's a sweet gal. There are at least 15 horses at the farm, so i only have room for one more for now; Buster. Buster.... he... is the most human like horse I've ever met. He is very picky, and has a preference on everything. He has so much personality. He is very grumpy, too. He hates to be ridden, but he'll do it. He bites sometimes when we're tacking him, and he gets feisty around other horses. He's pretty old though, an old western cutting horse. He's a Flea Bite like Conner. He thinks he rules the place, but the only other horse he actually likes, in fact loves, is baby Buckeye. Buster is an old grandpa horse, and Buckeye is still just a fuzzy foal, and they spend all there time together. I think buster thinks that Buckeye is his son.

A command from Jesus

2011-12-19T10:45:00.000-08:00

Did you know that 80% of people in the world live on less than $10.00 a day? Or that 21,000 children died today because of poverty? Sometimes we take the things we have for granted... like food, water, a house... or extra things like cars, cellphones, and even electricity. Kids in places like Haiti, Iraq, Uganda, and even big cities like Nashville are praying right now that they might find enough food to live another day. If everyone in the world just gave a little bit to help these people, there would be no more poverty. If our government used 1% of the money they spent on weapons and gave it to help children in need, every child in the world could get enough education to get them a job and out of poverty. Jesus never asked us to help them- He commanded us. If you ask Jesus "If You really love all people, why is there poverty?" He will answer "What have you done to prevent it? Everything you own is a gift from me to them; I simply gave you the honor of being the donor."

"And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones because he is my disciple, I tell you the truth, he will certainly not lose his reward." -Matthew 10:42

"If a man shuts his ears to the cry of the poor, he too will cry out and not be answered." -Proverbs 21:13

Christmas!!!!

2011-11-26T17:53:00.000-08:00

Christmas is on its way! The Thanksgiving pilgrims and turkeys are being packed away, and the Christmas lights are going up! Every night on our street another house is decorated with bright colors. Our dad just did ours tonight, and i think it is the best one so far. :) We hung stockings and wreathes, too. I can't believe it everything is already getting so Christmasy! :) :) :) But the best part of Christmas, of course, is the birth of the Savior!

Civil War Nashville

2011-11-13T11:53:00.000-08:00

Yesterday in Nashville there was a sort of civil war reenactment, with people dressed up as soldiers and pioneers and lots of other things. McKayla especially loved seeing the ladies with the huge colorful dresses and feathery hats. There were soldier's tents set up everywhere like a camp, a little 'hospital' for the soldiers, a bakery, even a place where they would take baths back then! My favorite part, of course, was the dog. there was this little black puppy named Clover and she was the cutest thing ever!
