ASL "Here I Am to Worship" Sign Language (PSE)

Another favorite song of mine... well, I guess they all are or I wouldn't be signing them! Ha ha!

ASL "I Can Only Imagine" Sign Language (PSE)

I love this song!! I very much enjoyed learning it in ASL.

ASL Vlog 04 (PSE)

My latest Vlog for my ASL friends.

I talk about not doing videos in a while, taking my daughter to see the Jonas Brothers in concert, my dog's haircut, my Empress Tree, and my new earrings. I also ask my friends to send me a video back. :O)

ASL "Mansion Over the Hilltop" (PSE)

This video is my addition to Brittany's Worship & Praise Sunday!

This is in memory of my Dad, who graduated to Heaven in 2005. This song was a favorite of his, and mine as well.

I added the PSE to the title because my signing is I guess, more of a Pidgin Signed English, than true ASL. But, I think with a song that's okay, since I'm trying to convey the words of the song as closely as I can. I hope you enjoy it. :O)

God Bless,

Lyrics:

I'm satisfied with just a cottage below
a little silver and a little gold
But in that city where the ransomed will shine
I want a gold one that's silver lined

(Chorus)
I've got a mansion just over the hilltop
In that bright land where we'll never grow old
And someday yonder we will never more wander
But walk the streets that are purest gold

Don't think me poor or deserted or lonely
I'm not discouraged, I'm Heaven bound
I'm just a pilgrim in search of a city
I want a mansion, a harp and a crown

(Chorus)

About Me ... updated VLOG

I did an updated vlog about myself. This was for my new ASL friend Carissa, but also to all my ASL friends on YouTube.

I can definitely see an improvement in my signing. I love to practice ASL. I think though, that I do more of PSE than strict ASL... but I'm learning! Ha ha!

Click on the link to the right to go to my YouTube Channel and see my other videos. Send me an ASL video back, too!

God Bless,

ASL "How Great Thou Art"

This video is my addition to Brittany's Worship & Praise Sunday!

I've wanted to sign this song for a while now. It took me 5 tries to do it with out messing up too bad. Ha ha! It's such a beautiful old hymn! One that I've sung many, many times growing up in church. And I love that I was able to do it in Sign Language. It's such an expressive language. I'm just learning and I hope you enjoy it. And yes, this is the same song that was playing in the background of my previous video (see previous post). I love this hymn!

Thanks to ktloveland on YouTube for his "how-to" video on doing the signs for this song. I changed only a couple signs to what I normally use, but it's very close to what he suggested.

Now, if I can just remember to adjust the focus on the camera...... Ha ha!

God Bless,

Lyrics:

O Lord my God, When I in awesome wonder,
Consider all the worlds Thy Hands have made;
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,
Thy power throughout the universe displayed.

(Chorus)
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art.
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art!

And when I think, that God, His Son not sparing;
Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in;
That on the Cross, my burden gladly bearing,
He bled and died to take away my sin.

(Chorus)

When Christ shall come, with shout of acclamation,
And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart.
Then I shall bow, in humble adoration,
And then proclaim: "My God, how great Thou art!"

(Chorus)

ASL Chat 02

This is a video chat for my friend Joyana. She's been a great help to me with suggestions on how to better do some of my signs.

I greet her using her sign name and ask, "How are you?" Then I tell about planting in my garden. We had nice weather with sunshine, but rain tonight. I explained how I've been learning sign, and the two websites I use mostly; http://www.lifeprint.com/ and http://www.aslpro.com/. LifePrint.com has free college-level lessons with pictures and some videos, and ASLpro.com has videos of all their signs. And they have a lot! I also sometimes reference http://www.SigningSavvy.com and the Sign Language Browser.

The song playing quietly in the background is How Great Thou Art by Carrie Underwood.
:O)

God Bless!
