About Me
- Lisa Richards
- I live in the northwoods of Minnesota on a small farm. My husband, Bob, went home to be with Jesus on November 19, 2013. God is leading me through this new part of my life. Our seven kids ranging in age from 23-52 are strewn around the country and I'm proud of all of them! I love to read (especially English literature), write, draw and sing. My main goal in life is to become more like Jesus and make Him the center of my life. (I say goal because I haven't arrived yet!) My prayer is that my children will also live this out. Thanks for dropping by!

World's Longest Beard
My husband's great-grandfather, Hans Langseth. He's in the Guninness Book of World Records for his beard, which is 18-1/2 feet long in this photo. It is recorded as 17-1/2 feet because 12 inches of it were left on him when it was cut after his death.

Nope, not pretty. Amazing. God as designer... one of my favorite ways to think about Him.
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to meet you. It seems like we should introduce ourselves or something since we share mutual friends! :)
Blessings, Debbie
Oh, your leaves are lovely! I love those foggy pictures, too.
ReplyDeleteSoon, you'll have The THREE at your house, LIsa!
I have some new books I'd love for you to see. Why can't you come over? I wish you could! I hope school isn't too pressing. God bless you, sweet friend.
Hi Lisa, I just wanted to let you know the Willows are boarding today! I don't know how long their flight will take from Oregon to Minnesota but you'd best be preparing... They were so excited this morning as they packed their passport and book. We'll miss them, but we know we've had more than our fair share of time. Enjoy! ;)
