About Me

  • About Me: I am an Orthodox Presbyterian who has been saved by grace, through faith, and not of myself, it is the gift of God, not of works, so that no man may boast. I'm a girl living by God's grace every day and seeking through Him to mature without losing sight of the every-day wonders of His world.

Military Officer being interviewed *politely*: "Ma'am. You're equipped to be a prostitute, but that doesn't mean that you are." " I think St. Augustine would condemn it. Which means it must be bad." ~Andrew W. Mrs. Carlson: "What rating does this movie [the Bourne Ultimatum] have?!" Melody and I: "Uhm... PG-13 for violence?" Mrs. Carlson: "No sex? If there's nakedness, you can just cover each other's eyes, ok? No nakedness allowed!" Us: "Yes ma'am!" *we all walk into the dining room where Ben and Claire are talking to Mr. Carlson... who is not wearing a shirt* *a pause* Mrs. Carlson: *flinging herself over Mr. Carlson's chest* "Oh, Greg, Greg! You'll ruin [Abby] for any other man!" Giselle: "If only I had a place to lay my head for the night!" Robert: "A... like what?" Giselle: "Oh, I don't know. A nearby meadow, or perhaps a hollow tree!" J.J.: "What are you all dressed up for?" Me: "Church! I wear my Sunday best for Church!" Phil: "Were you homeschooled, by any chance?" "The freckle fairy had a par-tay on your face!" ~Anna B "Horses are used for spreading seduction and infidelity" ~Andrew W "Never underestimate the love-affair between a girl and her horse." ~Dr. Dudt "You're like the sister I never wanted." ~Joshua B "Maybe I am not quite sane, but horses have been my whole life. For me they are a drug more potent than LSD and more lethal than heroin. My friends tell me that my addiction has already produced deterioration of the brain. And unlike any other drug, horses are a drug for which there is no known cure; for me life without horses would be only a living death." ~Henry Blake "Kissing is like the presidency; it is not to be sought and not to be declined." ~Henry Clay
