Men have come to speak of revelation as long ago given and done, as if God were dead. It is the office of a true teacher to show us that God is, not was, that he speaketh, not spake...

The need was never greater of new revelation than now.

-Ralph Waldo Emerson, 1838

brooke white.

I love Brooke White! Ever since she was on American Idol in 2008 I've been waiting for her to get a record deal and release something! After a year and a half of waiting she finally came out with a debut CD this week called High Hopes & Heartbreak. It is rare occasion for me to find a CD where I like every single song, but have finally found one after a long long time. Not since The Atari's So Long, Astoria album have I not pressed the skip button through a few songs. The music here is very chilled and relaxing. Her voice is raspy and very old style. Love it. Her voice rocks. Her songs rock. Her piano skills rock. Her looks rock. She rocks!

sparkles.

The 4th of July was way fun. I of course slept in a bit and watched the fitting classic Independence Day that morning. Then Mike, David, Courtney and I went to play Frisbee Golf in Idaho Falls. I'd never played before but it was really fun. David rocks at it. There were pictures taken but I haven't gotten those ones yet from Courtney. Then we went to Red Robin (may my job R.I.P.) and I got the most stunningly delicious Guacamole (olay!) Burger Protein Style. Absolute perfection. Then we came home, relaxed for a few hours, and then went to the Rexburg Fair Grounds Fireworks. They were perfect. 10 minutes, short and to the point. I'm not a fan of the Idaho Falls ones because

A) They're 45 minutes long (after about 5 I'm pretty much done), B) You have to get there in about mid-April to get a good location to watch them from (slight exaggeration), and C) it takes 3 hours to drive the 23 miles back to Rexburg once the fireworks are done.

So the Rexburg ones were perfect. Afterwards, Courtney has a really nice camera that she can keep the shutter open for up to 60 seconds (I could explain what this means but it would take too long). Basically, the longer the shutter is open the greater time it has to attract movement of light. So we had fun spelling words and designs with sparkle fireworks.

snaked.

Here is the logo I created for my graphic design class for anything of our choice. But the logo and title of company had to be reptile orientated.
