As I've told a lot of you already, my parents are going to Geneva this weekend (actually, they just left) for Ken Smith's installation...I think. Anyways, since they're going to be gone, they are "shippin' us kids off". Benjamin went camping with the Sturms, Maria, Tamara and I are going to the Rays, and Allen and Zachary are staying home (they have to work). Soo this should be very interesting! We might get to go to the Northside hayride tomorrow night with the Rays, so I'm prepared for another fun-filled night of bonfires, coats, hats, gloves, hay, and sneezing. I can hardly wait. ;-) Love 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 says, "Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things." Today I was reminded of what true love really is. I'm so selfish all the time. I am always thinking of what I want rather than what God would want. I tell my friends and family that I love them, but reading this: do I really show them true love? My parents love me enough to do what is best for me. Even though I may not see all things exactly how they see them, I know that they are just looking out for me and my best intrests. My friends love me enough to listen to all my problems, no matter how stupid they might seem. And my family loves me enough to tease me a TON! :-P But I know they still love me and I love them. So people out there who I have mentioned, if I haven't told you lately I LOVE YOU!!! And never forget, no matter what, God will always love you - enough that He sent His only Son (John 3:16) to take away YOUR sins! School A little preview of what I've been doing in school...(not that you're really interested! hehe) Algebra - Still not my favorite subject...but hey, I gotta do it so I might as well have a good attitude about it! Speech - I'm actually doing really well in that class! Probably because I love writing, and that's half the work. Now getting up there...that's a different story... Biology - *sigh* Let's not talk about this class, ok? Economics/Government - We finally started that last week! The classes are at our house and the following people are in it: Mary, Rebekah and Joe Ray, Ellen and Joel Edwards, Mary and Luke Hovee, Allen, Zachary, Maria, and I. Mr. Elder is our teacher and we always have a ton of fun! (BTW, did you guys know that in Fairland, Mr. Elder doesn't have to pay tax on things because he has so many kids??) I love listening to Mr. Elder teach, he's so funny! And the things we're learning are really interesting, too! World Views - We start that on Tuesday! Same day as the election! Hope you're all going to the Ray's to watch and celebrate Bush winning! ;-D (The same thing we did 4 years ago!) Anyways, I think this is going to be a really interesting class and I can't wait for it to start! (Except for the fact that it means more work...) My Brother... Go to Zachary's new and improved site! It's so funny, even if he's totally dissing us bloggers! Verses of the Day: "For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them!" ~Psalm 139:13-17~ Song of the Day: "Why Does the Sun Shine" ~They Might Be Giants~ (yeah I guess I sorta stole this from Allen, but it's so hilarious and I can't think of any other good songs right now!) Quote of the Day: "A true friend is one who knows all about you and likes you anyway." ~Christi Mary Warner~ (Haha, I thought this was hilarious!!) Charity | 12:30 am Comments-[ comments.] |
