The other day~ I heard that Steven Curtis Chapman's youngest daugher, Maria, died, when she was hit by a car. Please pray for the Chapman family, as they are going through a hard time, right now.

On both of these pictures, Maria is by Steven.

OK~ well, Sam had a wonderful idea (well~ she's full of them, i think), that we post about our guitars. We both have a guitar.... which is really cool. Except~ Sam can play the guitar~ and I can't really! I can play a few chords!

ASHLEY's GUITAR:

My guitar's name: Nick (or Nick J. sometimes)
My pick's name: Jerry (jerry is kind-of on these pics, he's in between the guitar strings)
My favorite thing to play on the guitar: Nothing, because i can only play a few chords. My mom and I are trying to learn how to play the guitar~ and when I learn how to move swiftly between chords~ I'll be able to play "Brown-Eyed Girl', 'Leaving ON A Jetplane" and "The Gambler".

Here are three pictures of my guitar:
This is my guitar case:

Here is my guitar, Nick, in his case:

And here is Nick:

 

Sam will be posting later!
