Hi everyone,

My name is Lar, and as it indicates in the subject line, I like to play penny whistle (which is a kind of simple flute-like musical instrument that is mainly used to play Celtic-type [mainly Irish] music). I am basically a novice on the penny whistle, and so far, I have managed to play the notes to the old Irish hymn "Be Thou my Vision" and the hymn "Amazing Grace."

I became a born-again Christian back in 1985... I'm over 60 years old, I'm married, and I live in upstate New York (USA). My Christian wife and I live in the country, and we have deer that come right into our yard (along with foxes and other animals). We also have a cat named "Bella" (which means beautiful in Italian). We don't have any grandchildren, so we tend to spoil Bella and to treat her almost as our own "child." [Smile]

I'm thankful to be here, and I appreciate the opportunity to communicate with and to fellowship with the Christians here on the CMB&F. Thank You, Lord Jesus! \o/

May God bless you,
Lar

I love to listen to Celtic music. My family and I live in the country also and have deer that come out in our yard. I love living in the country. We also have foxes, turkey and turkey buzzard's around a lot.

We are very glad to have you here with us to lift up the Lord Jesus Christ with us. May God bless you and your family. I look forward to fellow shipping with you.

Welcome Lar and Lana,

I love the idea of a deer coming so close. We have two cats and a dashund that we spoil. The dog is sleeping next to my feet at rne moment.

I have been married 46 years and have two adult children and two adult grandchildren and a great grandchild that I only see twice a year.

Hi Laina, and Hi Betty Louise,

Welcome to you Laina, (what a nice name, by the way - I've never heard of it before).

Betty Louise, many years ago I used to be an avid deer hunter, but then, something changed in me and I lost all "taste" for killing anything. My wife and I just love to watch the animals, birds, ect. now, and our relatively small piece of property has become a sanctuary for God's creatures. [Smile]
