What an awesome concert! I wasn't expecting such a great show from someone who's in his 70's, but Sir Paul certainly still knows how to rock! This is definitely, one of the best concerts I have ever seen.

He's a 2.5 year old tabby that we adopted from the PAWS shelter in Lynnwood. He's quite the trouble-maker, instigating fights with our older, 6 year-old cat. Poor Winslow...he's had his territory taken over. They get along well, minus the few times Zach wallops Winslow in the head to start playtime. ^^-Cheers!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16275113170240637826noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2630282149957739674.post-22880742447900846472013-03-04T19:21:00.001-08:002013-03-04T19:21:39.496-08:00Kalaloch 2013Kalaloch 2013, a photo by kiki5253 on Flickr.I spent the weekend at the ocean and I had a blast!

He preached to them as individuals, and with a knowledge of the burdens and the needs of each one. Our Savior did not come into the world to deal with statistics!

It only seemed proper to post it after attending a Christmas Concert all about Advent Season.
Come, Thou long expected Jesus
Born to set Thy people free
From our fears and sins release us,
Let us find our rest in Thee.

Hope of all the earth Thou art;
