Jacob's dream

Posted: Apr 14, 2012

I just heard this video and wanted to share. I have been listening over and over. it's beautiful, tragic and so sad beyond anything I've ever heard. It's about the Lost Boys of Alleghenies. I have been sitting here crying for these two boys and what they went through and the parents too. If I'm being affected like this I can't imagine what they went through. I tried to tell DH about it and was too emotional that I just said watch the video I sent you. Allison Krause's voice is Amazing. My favorite song is Ain True Love from Cold Mountain.

Well I don't know what it is. I'm just haunted by the story and almost afraid to go to sleep tonight. Here is the video. She talks about how she first heard about the story and then she sings the song. Absolutely beautiful.

Allison. She could sing the McDonald's menu and give me goosebumps!

I had an interesting dream last night. My granddaughter was running toward a lake and not listening to my warnings to stop, as little kids will do. It was very scary, and I was unable to get there before she fell in. I fished her out, and she was okay but frightened. Then a lady who was sitting at a picnic table nearby said, "You shouldn't say, 'No, stop!, Stop' because a child won't respond to that. You should say instead something like, 'L ...

I heard this week that Hilary is considering making Michelle Obama her running mate in 2016. At first I thought it was a ridiculous notion. But as fast as this country is plummeting down the tubes, thanks to Michelle's hubby, it makes sense. The left wing radical democrats would snap at the chance to run that ticket. ...

DREAM and DACA aren't quite the same, I guess. I imagine most of us don't really have much exposure to real immigrants -- just pictures of scruffy-looking people trying to "cross the border" and our imagination. Video shows an exchange between a DREAM Act young lady and Rep. King. She is respectful, but determined. Rand Paul ducks and runs. ...

I am a Trump supporter because I think the established political system is corrupt. There has been news this morning on cable talk shows there is a good chance Trump will not get the nomination because he needs X amount of delegates even if he is leading in winning popular votes in independent states so there will be a brokered convention in which delegates will decide who will run for president. It has been said that a lot of new voters who are in support of Trump as well as "Reagan Democrats" ...

We've had lots of discussions about Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, nations of Africa, nations of south america, etc. Things are happening all over the world that are disturbing. If YOU got to make the decisions, what would (or wouldn't) we be doing about these things. Would we leave Afghanistan to the taliban, et al? Would be leave Iraq to its own devices? Would be help the starving people in africa? Would we fight the politics of the "blood diamonds"? Would we open all of the borders ...

Do you have a silly dream of doing something totally different with your career or life? Lately, my husband and I have somewhat seriously been talking about opening a mexican food burrito/taco shop. We have great recipes that are relatively simple and inexpensive, and would love to just open up a very small shop that handles only takeout orders for a few types of burritos and/or tacos, rice and beans. Something small with the BEST food around, even though not fancy. What are YOUR d ...
