An interview with the hubs!

I thought I'd do an interview with the hubs today. The kids always want to be the 'star' on the blog post, and Karl gets kind of left out sometimes. SO now it's his turn to be the blog star.

What do you do for a living?
"I look at computers all day...computer programmer/web developer."

So will you fancify my blog with all of your web computer knowledge? " Yea, just, get in line!" lol

What is your hobby?
"I would fish if I had time. I love to be in our boat at the lake."

What's your favorite meal?  "I do like a good hamburger, I like shrimp, oysters, steak, french fries, and baked potatoes, and oh, I like advocare shakes."


I know you like music A LOT, what's your favorites bands, songs, etc.? " I like third day, Mercy Me, the Band Perry, Rascal Flats, Switchfoot,  and of course, ZachBerryMusic.


So what's you're favorite color? I knew he would say this he always does..."I don't have one."


If you could pick a car color what would you pick. "I like Black and White cars best."

 What about my red truck don't you like my red truck? "That's your truck not my truck." BUT you bought it red. He answered,  "Because that's what you wanted, a red truck." Isn't he a sweetie getting me a RED truck!

So what's my favorite color? RED

What's a word  you would use to describe you?  With a mischievous grin he said,"Awesome" I agree. He's pretty awesome.

When you were a little boy what did you like to do for fun? I didn't do anything fun because I worked on the farm, gardening, loading hay, bush-hogging and such...oh I went hunting some, that was fun.

What's your dream car? "audi "
I guess that would be a black or white one?

Marriage? "I've been married to you for 22 years an it only feels like 2. Why does it feel like just 2 years? Cause we're still having a honeymoon...;)

Tell me about your kids. "Got 4 of them, 2 boys 2 girls...they're all awesome.

What's your thoughts on adoption?

"As a Christian I've been adopted, and I am so happy that I could adopt. It gives me the full picture of what God has done for me.  Our adoption of Jolie was a journey of a lifetime, I am so glad we adopted her."

Tell me some thoughts about your family and faith.
"I love my family each and everyone. I think it's important to leave a legacy for my family for them to be proud of their dad and that they would grow and mature in their Christian faith and lead their families in the way of the LORD."


The tables turn and he says to me,  "What are you doing over there anyway? I said I am interviewing you for my blog. In which he jokingly replies, "I thought you knew me!" 




Is  there anything else you want to say before we close this blog interview down?
"I love my wife."
 and I said, "AWWWW!"

Karl! You're the man...you are leaving a wonderful Christian legacy for your family. Your family loves and appreciates you.  And as the pastor says, Keep living for Jesus!

This little light of mine...

This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine, this little light of mine I'm gonna let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.

Do you remember that little song from your childhood? I know I do, I even remember teaching it to my own kiddos and even kiddos at church when I was a music teacher.

What I like about that simple little kids song is this: it reminds me to let my light shine. So many times I mess up, maybe just by actions, temper, or just whatever, may cause one not to see my light shining. I am the first to say, that I have a log in my own eye at times.

But lately, I am weary of seeing so many Christians willing to  hide their light under a bushel and deciding to look, act, and behave like the rest of the world. We should be set apart! We should be different. Our light should be shining.

It breaks my heart to see Christians involved and actually loving the dark side of things through entertainment, language, or literature.

You see as a child, for the first 13 years of my life, my family rarely went to church. I went enough to know who Jesus was, and to know that I was lost as a goose. I was confused and actually had nightmares.  I thought that the devil; complete with horns, red suit, and a pitch fork would appear in my bedroom and take my sinful self to HELL. There was a spiritual warfare going on in my mind ...and it was an awful dark place....and I am thankful that Jesus saved me from that and set me free.

So, it breaks my heart to see those who love the Lord, or at least say they do, simply hiding their light under a bushel, or maybe they let Satan just blow it out...I don't know. We as Christians are to love the sinner and hate the sin...we aren't supposed to get in the ditch and wallow around in the sin with the sinner. We are supposed to be different in words, actions and deeds. We are not supposed to look like the rest of the world.

This little light of mine, I'm gonna  do my best to let it shine! Are you?

"Test everything. Hold on to the good. Avoid every kind of evil." 1 Thessalonians 5:21-22

Craig's list fun

Zach has had a set of drums on Craig's list fah-evah! lots of lookers, lots of offers but nothing ever really panned out. Finally last week, someone said want to trade for a les paul. After checking it out Zach said Yeah man. The adventure happened late yesterday evening, and I had to go take the drums. Cause he doesn't take those with him to school everyday. So off we all went on a Craig's list adventure. The guitar is awesome. He was playing it last night, and Jolie  had to join in with her elmo guitar...and the momma had to snap a few photos of the two jammin' together. LOL

Sunday Snapshot~

I have failed this week when it comes to taking lots of photos...so I am just re-running some of my favorite memories from this week. I'll be charging my camera batteries in the meantime so that I can catch some more family moments.

Earlier this week, I went outside to find my kids playin' and this is how I found my girl...

She's a sport, I'd say!

Jolie says, "Hula for me, Shek, Pease!!!

Modeling Zach's band Merchandise.

Those expressions...priceless.
