Sore Foot

Me and Brittany made this up after Chruch Wednesday.For your enjoyment, with a few edits and additions, I present to you: "Sore foot"

Emily: Man, this algebra homework is so hard. I just don't get it. How do you add a letter to another letter and get a number. My foot hurts. I'm such an imbocile.

Brittany: Huh? whats an imbocile? that words too big, it has too many numbers. It makes my foot hurt!

Emily: Can someone pass me an atlas please?

Brittany: I have an atlas at home but I don't think you'll find imbicile in there, try an almanac.

Emily: I dont think that you look for imbocile in the almanac, those are for antonymns and cinnamons. Everybody knows that, just like they love Raymond.

Brittany: Oh, you're right. What about an encyclopedia.... isnt that the big one? i'm not sure that word has too many numbers too!

Emily: Man, i need to start jellin...my foot hurts from all this thinking

Brittany: yeah me too, my foot is like going dead.

Emily: I tried the dictionary,but like there were way too many words, and i couldn't find it.,i looked under e...but it just wasn't there.I dont think the dictionary gives definitions anyways. I mean c'mon, everybody knows that dictionaries are like just for spelling only, and they can't even spell imbocile! Man, my foot is hurting me really bad. I think i'm going to ask my mom to take me to the orthodontist

Brittany: No, the orthodontist is like for babies, the chiropractor is for foots!

Emily: No, the chiropractor is like...for brains surgeons, if anything we should be visiting the dermotologist.

Brittany: oh, i think you're right! OW that hurt my foot really hard, anyway i think we should check the almanac.

Emily: okay...but lets get a snack first

Brittany: okay, what do you want?

Emily: i'll have some Cola Coke and some n+n's...or are they m+m's.....i can never remember

Brittany: idk.. i like jack and acks.. ir is it mike and ikes? i like pepsi.

Emily: i think its ike and mikes...but i think they are m+ms....

Brittany: yeah that sounds right.

Emily:yeah, that sounds right.

Brittany: OH MY GOSH one time oh, i forget... my foot failed me. i can't find any ike and mikes.....i guess i'we'll just have to eat mike and ikes.

Emily: Okay. They have mike and ikes too!?!?! My foot fell asleep..and i cant like wake it up..i tried putting an alarm clock next to it, but it like won't wake up...so i can't think straight.
Or is it curvy...how are u supposed to think?

Brittany: i dont know, i thought it was spiraly!, i have to go like make my bed, or was it the dishwasher... i dont know!

Emily: i think you empty the dishwasher. i dont know what you do with the bed...

Brittany: no, you empty the bed and make the dishwasher... i would know i do it every day!

Emily: wow...this coke is like....really bubbly...it says it carbonated..does that mean it has like a lot of carbs? i've been watching my figure you know. i've only been to McDonalds for one meal now.

Brittany: i dont konw i thought carbonated was like cardboard!

Emily: no, cuz then the drink would be like...crunchy. oww! the pain in my foot!

Brittany:*crys* *snffle* ouch! i stepped on the wall

Emily: ouch..i hate it when that happens...i also hate it when i trip going upstairs.....it hurts

Brittany: yeah... i did that today, stairs are the things that like go up and down right, like at the malls, i think theres one in Coughmans.

Emily: thats at the mall, isnt it? I love the mall!

Brittany: yeah. there was like this big sale at like Aroposle!

Emily: i know..i bought like 100$ of stuff there...but i keep seeing a butterfly on the clothes....i cant figure out how to get rid of it...it keeps like flying to different shirts and stuff...it changes colors too...its like..like a camoflauge-really-small-butterfly that is out to get me.

Brittany: i saw that butterfly too, maybe its like a stalker!!!!!!!!!

Emily: Yeah...to like Aeropastle shoppers! Like american eagle has like a little bird on it.

Brittany: so does like hollister.. its really confusing!

Emily:and ive seen like off brands with like hippos. And owls. I'm really scared...we should like alert the authorities...like the president or the mayor.

Brittany: dont they know that animals are meant for outside.. not clothes.... except for like flowers? Oh i saw one of those things at the theater where like there was this big box and people were in it and they were like talking and like walking.

Emily: WOW! I've always wanted to see that. Well, my foot is really hurting, and it won't wake up..so i'll just put the rest of my body to sleep. good night

Brittany: nighty night!

Emily: i hope your foot feels better

Brittany:you too!

Emily: my mom's gonna take me to the orthopedics center on Saturday so that i can get out of school. I guess I'll see you later.

Brittany: Thats awesome! Okay, bye.


I hope that you thoroughly enjoyed that. Please give us your reviews!

A New Year, A New Person

Well, after today, I've decided on a new years resolution.
To Be Better.
On Fire for Christ.
Putting others first.
Not Whining.
Trusting God with tests.
Casting my Cares upon him..
DEVOTIONS EVERYDAY MAN!!!(or woman, depending on who's reading :) )
Better witness.
Reaching out as far as my wimpy arms can go..
not so easily angered.
not saying stupid things.
not being a brat. (trust me, Ican be a big one...just ask Beckie...she'll give you the dirt.... :) )
Be a better daughter, sister, friend.
A better Christian.

I am also going to try and think of a song for the year. I've got some ideas, but if you have suggestions, feel free to comment! Keep in mind, it'll probably end up Shaun Groves anyways...hehe :)

Emily

Voila!

There it is! I finished it! I hope you like it!

Well, since its Christmas Eve, I feel obligated to tell you what Christmas is REALLY about!
I knon, I know, you've probably heard this millions of times, but have you ever actually read or listened to it?

Christmas is a holiday about gifts. Not the kind of gift you get under your tree, wrapped in flashy paper, and waiting to be opened; but the kind of gift you find in a manger, wrapped in swaddling clothes, and waiting to save the world.


Christmas is a Birthday party. Not just any birthday party, but the birthday party of a king, Jesus Christ.

Christmas is a time for singing. not songs like Jolly ol Saint Nicolas, or Jingle Bells, sure you can siong them, and they're fun to sing; but don't forget the songs that are sung to worship the king, like Oh Come all Ye Faithful, and Angels we have heard on High.

Christmas is a time for someone, but not for you. Christmas isn't about what you can get or how much fun you can have, but what you can do for others, and what you can do for Christ.

This, is Christmas:
¹In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. ²(This was the first census that took place while Quirinius was governor of Syria.) ³And everyone went to his own town to register.

⁴So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. ⁵He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. ⁶While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, ⁷and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.

The Shepherds and the Angels

⁸And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. ⁹An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. ¹⁰But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. ¹¹Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ^[a] the Lord. ¹²This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger."

¹³Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,
¹⁴"Glory to God in the highest,
and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests."

¹⁵When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, "Let's go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about."

¹⁶So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. ¹⁷When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, ¹⁸and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. ¹⁹But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. ²⁰The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told.

Merry Christmas, remeber, Jesus is the reason for the season!

Pause

This blog is currently under construction
I don't know when the next real post will be.
At least by next year.

Nerry Christmas!
(maybe one for that too)

I'm baaack!

Well, i guess its time to end my endless pit of non-blogging doom. Also I haven't posted in a while, and I don't think that I will wake up tomorrow morning if I don't post soon.
Well, the past week has been among the hardest of the entire year so far. Tests, quizes,smarge twizes, and projects due on MONDAY! The meet at Hathaway Brown was cancelled,so swim season has ended, and I am sad. All that time waiting for it to end, and now I miss it a lot. I like having free time, and going to home after school. But I miss the people on the team, swimming, and the chance to beat my time. Its kind of depressing, but kind of relieving. I hope I'll be able to do it next year. Who knows? Maybe I'll even do some summer swimming, just to make Mr. Gates happy.
So, I'm appling for the e-team, and at first I didn't think I really fit anywhere, but now I think I've made my choice. I've been listening to Shaun Groves, and A LOT of christmas music, plus the added America Rock music from Mrs. Scott's class. Well, now that i'm out of my endless pit of non-blogging doom, I have to go. I'll try not to fall in again, but in the event that I do, please at least warn me that I need to sleep with one eye open, okay?

One Year Today...

"November 27, 2004"

My name is Emily.
I am but twelve,
I sigh at the pictures,
that sit on the shelve.
I woke up one morning,
my sister was crying,
I thought maybe one,
of her friendships was trying.
but then I sat up,
and got out of my bed,
walked out of my room,
still asleep in my head.
Then my sister stood up,
and gave me a hug,
her face wet from crying,
she'd lost someone she'd loved.
I just kept on walking,
more confused than before,
and saw that my mother,
was crying even more.
and then i looked down,
and saw you laying there,
I listened to mom,
as she gently stroked your hair.
I looked in your eyes,
that i loved so much before,
and just sat back and stared,
as you laid helpless on the floor.
I started to miss you,
before you had left,
but tears just wouldn't come out,
no not one,
no not yet.
then finally they came,
and I called out your name,
and sat there so long,
thinking this is jsut wrong.
It just wasn't fair,
to see you lying helplessly there.
The last time I'd see you,
for the rest of my life.
Then my mom said to leave,
and dad took you away.
I took one last look,
one last hug,
my best friend,
and wished you could stay.
But then it was over,
too quick to measure.
I had lost my best firend,
one of my most-valued treasures.

My name is Emily,
I am but twelve.
I lost my best friend,
but his spirit still dwells.

I can never ever ever say, that last year at this time i was with Jake. It was a sad time, my first dog, my first friend. We were together for 12 years, almost thirteen. He was a good dog. He didn't really like me, but he was a good dog. It is so sad, i can barely remember him. My memories have been fogged up with Luke. I see a black dog with Luke's face. Jake was a good beggar, he always made me feel safe,he always made me smile.
Jake was a good dog, and i miss him a lot. I'll always miss him. He'll always be my favorite dog, no matter how many are yet to come. I love him still. I miss him, and it saddens my heart knowing he's gone, but its all a part of Gods plan. He took JAke away, but he gave us a big, brown, blessing.

Okay, I surrender, I'll post!

Well, since you guys have been bugging me to post, i might as well! WE won the Hoban Tallmadge 13-0!!!!! YAY!!!! Its thanksgiving break, and its almost been a year since Jake died...except i'll post on that on on the actul year....which will be Sunday. Anyhow.....its been fun..School...sim..homework..sleep....excpet last week we had Norm Sharbough and he was Awesome...Brittany's sister got saved!!!!!! YAY......She'll be in Heaven someday...wel i have nothing to post, i keep...ing which means i've got nothing to say.....there i go again....AHHHH!!!...well, i'm going to go...i have some homework...and a very messy room.. :( But I'll leave you with Shaun Groves.... :)


"Two Cents"
Shaun Groves
So proud to call you friend
So let down you're starting up again
The same old story a thousand times told
With you the hapless damsel in distress

Am I richer than your King?
Will my two cents get you anything?

Chorus:
I'll give you prayers and my time
Ev'ry moment of mine
All I have is yours to spend
But if you're hoping all your tears will dry
With words that I dispense, well
There're just some things that can't be bought with my
Two cents

Still I'm so glad you call me friend
Just wond'ring when your pity parties end
When will you stop this bringing invitations
Wearing your same black party dress

Am I richer than your King?
Will my two cents get you anything?

Chorus

How can I have all your answers
When I've got questions of my own?

I'll give you prayers and my time
Ev'ry moment of mine
All I have is yours to spend
But if you're hoping all your tears will dry
With words that I dispense, well
There're just some things that can't be bought with my,
Bought with my, two cents.

there's no other, such a friend and brother,
tell it to Jesus, tell it to Jesus,
tell it to Jesus, alone. Why dont you tell it to Jesus alone.

Keeping you posted...but not succeeding

Sorry i haven't posted in such a long time, but i lose time. I've joined swim team in the last month, and it consumes a lot of my time, leaving my homework to be done during the night hours. Oh, well, its been fun, we as girls lost to Orange and beat the two teams at Cuyahoga Heights, and te boys lost to both, but only by 7 points at Cuyahoga Heights.
Other than that, i took a American History test that was okay, it could have been easier, or i could have studied harder. I think tests are a punnishment. I think that because i pay attention in class, but i still have to study so much, and i get REALLY nervous and sometimes stressed out. but, oh well, its over and i know what to expect for the next test.I'm sure you dont want to hear about my test-taking blues, so i'll talk about something else.
YAY!!!!I got my TRUE*LOVE*WAITS* ring, after waiting for 3 weeks. I was so excited. Today, we are also going to get jeans, because i only have one pair that i'll wear.The football team won last night 42 to 20, leaving us 12-0! woot woot!I didnt like the blue and gold vs. blue and gold thing though...it was driving me nuts!Next week we are playing Hoban.
My dad came back from Japan yestrday, and my mom form Amish country.Please don't tell DAvid or Alex that, it was just a retreat!You see, we changed seats in science, and for some reason they call me amish. They draw pictures of butter churners and they draw a chair and say i made it, its kinda funny, but sometimes i can't pay attention. Brittany and her dad are comming to the revival thingy on Sun-Wed, and in a couple weeks marks one year Jake has been gone. Speaking of which, Luke turned one year old Monday:) Well, i've just about posted all i can, hopefully i'll post sometime this week.

Falling Trees

If a tree falls and nobody is around to hear it, does it make a sound? YES!!!!!! I learned about it in science today! When something vibrates (such would happen when a tree falls) it sends waves that travel through a medium-such as water, air or a sold. Since there is a medium around the tree (air) when it falls, the sound waves created by the vibration make a sound.....no matter if you hear it or not! So, the next time anybody asks you that, say YES!!!!!!

The Houseplant Song

Well, i finally did it! I changed my template backround! It took forever though. But, as i was doing it i listened to the coolest song ...here are the lyrics:


The Houseplant Song- Audio Adrenaline

Once I read a book,
And this is what it said,
"If your music has a beat,
Then you're gonna wind up dead."
It doesn't really matter
If it's CHRISTIAN or not,
If it's synchopated rhythm,
Then your soul is gonna rot!

And this book was called,
"HA, You're gonna BURN!"
And in the second chapter,
I went on to learn...

CHORUS
Take two houseplants,
and put 'em to the test,
Set 'em both in front of speakers,
To let the music do the rest
First one you play Mozart,
Or something lovely like that,
Second one you play that Petra or that Megadeath!
Doesn't really matter WHAT kinda rock it is.

So I took my two houseplants,
and I put them to the test,
Set 'em both in front of speakers,
To let the music do the rest
I powered up my Pioneers to let the music roar,
But twenty minutes later, someone's knocking at my door.

I opened up my door,
And there my neighbor stood,
He said, "Man, I'd like to get some sleep,
If you think I could."
I said, "Man, can't you see here
I have got this moral dilemma I have got to get clear.
He said, "What kind of moral dilemma can you have at this time ofnight,
That makes me so angry I JUST WANNA FIGHT!"

Sorry.

So I pointed to the page,
In that opened book,
That had a picture of a potted plant, and I said,
"Go have a look."

And he read:

CHORUS

"First of all," he said,
"That's Wagner that you're playin',
I've never heard of Petra,
And Isn't Megadeath all dead?"
And secondly, emphatically,
He asked me, "What's the sense,
Of hanging out with houseplants,
When, hey, I live right across the fence?"
And I thought to myself,
Y'know, that's a good point.

So I took my two houseplants
And I put 'em both back outside.
And me and my neighbor,
Well, we went out for a ride.
We talked about all the things,
That really matter most.
Like life n' love n' happiness,
And then the Holy Ghost."

Now my two houseplants,
Can sit out in the sun.
And as for my neighbor,
Well, our friendship has become,
A meaningful relationship
That's headed straight to heaven,
But as for now,
We like to sit around and listen to
Audio Adrenaline, CRANKED TO ELEVEN!

Well,today is going to be a REALLY busy day.I spent the night at Elizabeth's and we stayed up until 11:45 on the computer trying to figure out how to change my blog a little. Well, we were both about to fall asleep any minute. So we went to bed. We woke up at 6:10and we have to be at church by 8:30. From then till noonish, i'll be at church working as an airplane stewardess (not really, a fake airplane made inside the church).After that, i have to go back home and we'll probably be going to Grandma's by 4:00 or 3:30 to show her everyone in their dresses, and so she can meet Tanner. After that, we'll be going out to eat at 5, then taking Beckie's friends and date to the dance.Then, mom, dad, and Iwill go home. It will be a quiet night tonight.

See You @ The Pole Before...

Who: You!
What: See You @ the Pole Where: You're Flagpole!
When: Tomorrow at 7:00 A.M
Why: To pray for our schools, students and staff members. To be a witness and take a stand for Christ.

Theme: Call 2 me
Verse: Jeremiah 33:3 Call 2 me, and I will answer u, and show you great and mighty things, which u do not know.

Please come! Take a stand for Christ and a chance to pray for the schools in our nation. This is a nationwide activity! You have approximately 10 hours and 49 minutes to get ready for the impact of Christ as you and your fellow classmates and teachers Call 2 Him!

"What If His People Prayed"

What if the armies of the Lord
Picked up and dusted off their swords
Vowed to set the captives free
And not let satan have one more

What if the church, for heaven's sake
Finally stepped up to the plate
Took a stand upon God's promise
And stormed hell's rusty gates

Chorus:
What if His people prayed
And all who bare His name
Would humbly seek His face
And Turn from their own way

And what would happen if we prayed
For those raised up to lead the way
Then maybe kids in school could pray
And unborn children see light of day

What if the life that we pursue
Came from a hunger for the truth
What if the family turned to Jesus
Stopped asking Oprah what to do

He said that they would hear
His promise has been made
He'll answer loud and clear
If only we would pray

If My people called by My name
If they'll humble themselves and pray
If My people called by My name
If they'll humble themselves and pray

-Casting Crowns

Again, just another day.....

Well, its just been a blur these past weeks: teachers, friends, homework, and tests/quizzes. Mrs. Scott is finally back, but now the 6th graders are going to Camp Fitch and MRs. Caslow is leaving. Oh well, i got permission to hang up See You At the Pole posters (whioch you should be comming to: 9/21/05, 7:00 a.m, at your school flagpole) and i was a little down when my friends left for taco bell (i didnt mind them leaving, they asked me if it was okay) adn when Mr. Misch told me that Kristen couldn't come to scghool with me for a day due tyo legal reasons, when i walked back to my locker and heard " When i Survey The Wondrous Cross" playing form MR. Gallagher's room and i felt better. That was a week ago, then this past week i went camping and it was awesome! WE went with the Hembrees and some other people from church, that was a BLAST! Then we came home and went to school, and I felt sick most of the day. Now i am sitting on the computer typing away because Andy pointed out i hadn't posted in a while and i had decided i probably should...WEll, enough of all of this boring stuff...im going to leave you withan awesome song that encourages me...

Artist: Matthew West
Song Title: More lyrics

Take a look at the mountain
Stretching a mile high
Take a look at the ocean
Far as your eye can see
And think of Me

Take a look at the desert
Do you feel like a grain of sand?
I am with you wherever
Where you go is where I am

And I'm always thinking of you
Take a look around you
I'm spelling it out one by one

(Chorus)
I love you more than the sun
And the stars that I taught how to shine
You are mine, and you shine for me too
I love you yesterday and today
And tomorrow, I'll say it again and again
I love you more

Just a face in the city
Just a tear on a crowded street
But you are one in a million
And you belong to Me

And I want you to know
That I'm not letting go
Even when you come undone

(Chorus)
I love you more than the sun
And the stars that I taught how to shine
You are mine, and you shine for me too
I love you yesterday and today
And tomorrow, I'll say it again and again
I love you more

Shine for Me
Shine for Me
Shine on, shine on
Shine for Me

(Chorus)
I love you more than the sun
And the stars that I taught how to shine
You are mine, and you shine for me too
I love you yesterday and today 
And tomorrow, I'll say it again and again
I love you more

And a Pic too....

Its me and Beckie when we were little eating outside on the little plastic picnic table!

Sad Saturday

Today we closed the pool. It was sad, we don't get to swim in it for another winter. Oh well, it was freezing cold anyways. Today Beckie, Brittany, Audrey, Mrs. Hembree,, and my mom went shopping for homecomming dresses. Elizabeth and I stayed home. Right now she is playing mafia, and we are going to take turns. The other person gets to use the laptop, and i was playing dorky internet games.Well, im gonna go, post later!

Just Checking in

Well, i haven't posted in a while, simply because I didn't feel like it. Its just been school. Classes, teachers, friends, and homework. But i have had fun seeing all my friends and going to the football games. The one thing i'm not enjoying right now in school that I usually enjoy is band. WE have to play at a football game, so we have to practice using flipbooks. I absolutely, positivly, HATE with a capital H A T E flipbooks, I don't know why, I just do. Beckie had her sweet 16. WOW ! My sister is 16. I never saw that comming. She had lots of fun, and Stephen walked into the screen door....hehe...sorry Stephen, i couldn't help but say it. Luke is at his usual, lazy and loving. WE discovered today that he responds to L words, like loser, lala, and other stuff like that (he looks up). Well, thats all for today, (i know, short post, but i don't have much to say) so I'll post some time in the future.....but I'll leave you with a picture. and my computer is being stupid so i can't change the font color.

Goodbye Summer

Goodbye summer, goodbye freedom, goodbye never-ending party. This is one of the best yet worst days of my summer. Me and Elizabeth had so much fun having a traditional summer day. WE started off with a lunch of hot dogs, little debbie snacks, and tortilla chips(everyone had lunch with us), and what was supposed to be a dive in the pool off the steps to see who would go the farthest, but that was over when she pushed me into the FREEZING cold water!NExt we played the beachball volley-ball, and after playing for a while and making no progress, we took a break, and I looked at a Kohl's add while she made a School Shopping List. After that, we got back in the pool, and started playing beachball volleyball again. this time we made progress. A month or two ago, Elizabeth posted on her blog that we had broken our record of 385, and gotten 499. Well as our best effort EVER, we not only passed 385, but we passed 499, and we ended with 618!!!!! WE then got out, after telling everyone on the deck, went downstairs and got our victory food: Little Debbie snacks out of the freezer. Then we took the beachball, and decorated it with 618, 499, 385, our signatures, the time and date, what we were playing for,and a couple of random things that my xcousin Mark wrote on it, with my my moms multi-colored sharpies. It will currently be hanging up in Elizabeth's Room. After that, we decided to continue on with tradition and go outside and play catch with the baseball. Of course, we hurt each other, by the ball hitting the mit hard, and if you were as lucky as i was, your eyebrow.She also threw it into the street, and as usual commented on how cute i was looking both ways before crossing the street (at one point she threw both balls across the street). WE also hid behind a tree from a white car. Then after 10 final throws,(more like 11 or 12) we played mini-amazing race. we both couldn't find the second clue, but i found the treasure first. I had to look in the trash can for a clue! After the mini'amazing race, we were going to swim, but we couldn't get ourselves into the pool it was so cold, and her mom told us it was time for them to leave. It was sad, everyone except Mark and Lindsay have left.But as of now, the never-ending party is over, but it was a great party! I'm going to miss the summer very much, but i will admit, i am a excited for tomarrow when school starts, but stilll i don't want the summer to end. Oh well, time files when you are having fun! And this summer has had to be the best summer yet!

Lukey Poo

The huge, gigantic , humungous, terrible, horrible, fatal mistake!

Yes, yes indeed, man has made a huge, gigantic, humungous, terrible, horrible, fatal mistake! He...ate...a piece of fruit. But not any fruit, a fruit from the tree of knowledge, which was forbidden to be touched by man, so sayeth the Lord. You know, if Adam and Eve had never eaten that fruitwhich was tempted by a snake who just so happened to be Satan), in the first place we would have a great life. Peace with the animals, meaning animals wouldn't be trying to kill us, our pets would obey our commands, mosquitoes wouldn't be biting us, and much much more! We would have no sin, meaning that there would be no fear of others,no robbing,no murder, no rape, no war nothing bad at all. Wouldn't that be great? Of course we would be running around with no clothes on, but we wouldn't know that! And i'm pretty sure everyone would be saved. Just think..a world with no sin.....wouldn't it be great? Well you still have a chance to go to that place...its called Heaven, and if you would like to go there, please comment me.


P.S. -there's only one way to get there...and its not by doing good things, or being a good person, is about inviting Christ into your heart, repenting your sins, and believing in what God has done.

Remembering Nate Deyarmin

Recently, a woman's son named Nate Deyarmin died. You're probably wondering why i am posting about that, I mean I don't even know him or his family. But I do know he was a marine.Nate Deyarmin died in Iraq, fighting for our country.He and 3 other service members came to our schools to speak to us about their Jobs. They showed us how to fold the American Flag correctly, and they even had a person come up and they put their gear on her to show how heavy it was. They also wrote us a very nice letter to us on the last day of school. I remember them telling the 7th graders that next year we will be on top of the school. I don't remeber which marine he was, but i know i shook his hand. To bring an end to this post, please take a minute to pray for Nate's family, and to thank God for all the people fighting for us in Iraq, ad all the people who had fought for us.

What's wrong with the World today?

Can anyone answer this question for me?

I mean think about the things going currently. Even this very second that i am typing. Are we praising the Lord, serving the Lord,finsihing his work, or making a purpose of our lives, or are we taking our anger off on other people, putting fear in the eyes and minds of children, and fighting with each other. I mean seriously. I'm proposing the second choice for what we are doing today.
Think about it. London just got bombed...and a while back Russia was bombed. A man stocked a girl and her family, and ended up killing some of them (i think) because he drove by and like the way she looked in her swimsuit. Now was that her fault? Maybe. Maybe it was a better idea to be outside in the backyard. But maybe not. Who was he to stock her because he liked the way she looked?And whats up with the man who blew his wife's face up with Nitric gas. now i have no idea what the problem was but i'm sure that was not the way to solve it.
There are so many SICK things going on like the above, drugs, drinking, smoking,... i mean this world is going to become un-pleasurable. Now, i dont want to be criticising the world, because there are a lot of great things in it. But i think we alll agree for the most part that there is definitly room for improvement.
Here is a poem I wrote around the bombing of Russia:

"Take a look at the world today"

Take a look at the world today
Tell me what you see
Tell me what you hear
Put it into words you can bear to say
Terrorists in Russia
destroying honest lives
what'd they do to you
That you should leave their dreams behind
Money,money,money
Thats all you care about
sueing for your coffee being hot
Do you care about anything else?
I think not
People can't just walk
around their neighbors and their friends
without being afraid
That their live is comming to an end
Cussing and bad language
freely spoken on T.V
People today just don't care
People just can't see
Smoking,drinking Drugs and what not
you think you're all that
you think you are so hot
Reality check- YOU'RE NOT
Child abuse,animal abuse, wife and husbands too
do you do it because its fun?
or was it just a slip of hand
Seriously make me understand
Basically what I'm trying to say
is that i'm not very happy with the world today
This is my own words
this is what I say
I've stated my opinion
I've paid my dues
have you?

And not only should we do this to improve our lives, but the Lord put us onthis earth. And one of the firstthings we did as man was sinned. We need to dedicate our lives to the Lord. If you never become saved through Christ, you may not go to Heaven. I'm not just saying that because i'm a christian, I'm saying it because its true. And please, get saved. For me?

Googly eyed because of Google Earth

Have you tried this program??? It is SSSSSSSSOOOOO awesome. Its free too. To find it, you can put "google earth" in the google search bar and install it. Its free (did i mention that already?) Its so cool...you can just type in an address, and usually it will give you a picture taken from a satelite of that address. I found my house, some of my friend's houses, and even crow lake, myrtle beach, and the place we stayed at in marco Island! You have goot to try it! It is ssssssssssoooooooooo awesome!

South Seas Northwest Prison, Marco Island.

Oops, i must have made a mistake...i mean South Seas Northwest CONDOS. Funny how I got the two mixed up...

Okay, so the place wasn't all that bad (but it was bad), and it wasn't really a prison, i just couldn't think of anything else to say for the title...i wasn't about to call them condos, because even though they were condos, they had more rules then in the back of my agenda at school (okay so sarcasim, but you get the point).

Here a just a few of them:

1. You may play with toys for only one hour of the day
2. From 9:00-10:00 is lap swimming only.(when a little girl swam laps with her grandmother, she was swimming laps, they kicked her out of the pool.Apparently, kids aren't supposed to swim laps.)
3.porch Lights must be off, and if you have lights on in your condo they must be shaded by 9:00, so you won't disturb the sea turtles mating.


Those are only 3 of the rules, but we have to rule book at home if you really want it.

Well, enough of the bad stuff...

Marco Island is BEAUTIFUL!

the water was great, the condos were nice, and we saw stingrays, alligators, pigs, and crabs. Over all it was a pretty good vacation, except for the rules, and huricane. If they werent there i probably would have wanted to stay. :)

my rating :**-I will never set foot on Marco Island Again (at least not in South Seas Northwest Prison, i mean condos)

What I Know Now

This poem that I wrote mainly last night is dedicated toa ll of those who have lost someone in a Drunkdriving accident, have killed someone in a drunk driving accident, or have been under the pressure of an alcoholic relationship.





"What I Know Now"

My name is Jordan,
I am 18,
My big brother died,
intoxicated, at the scene.

it was prom night you see,
his face filled with glee,
a night filled with love,
with stars glowing above.
He didn't think it would happen,
Who'd predict that it would?
nobody knows ahead of time,
that he'd back into a car's hood!
Anyways, they all set off,and said their goodbyes,
anxiousness and adventure
seen in their eyes.
And like all the "others"
they did it as well,
they took that small drink,
and said a farwell.
Goodbye to their family,
goodbye to their friends,
goodbye to their life,
and hello to the end.
Of course they didn't know it,
nobody did,
they all became senseless idiots,
as soon as they popped the lid (of the bottle)
and then they were off,
to the dance, at the school,
strutting around,
thinkin' they were so cool.
But then it happened,
the cars crashed together,
my brother dreaming,
feeling as light as a feather.
Then the phone rang,
and my mom picked it up.
I just can't erase,
the look on her face.
She told me to stay,
and went to find father.
i didn't object,
I didn't want to bother.
They they took off,
just to shortly return,
they had to tell me,
i had to learn.
I loved my brother,
very much so,
I just coudn't see how. (this could happen)
I just wished he knew then,
what i know now.

My name is Jordan,
I am 18,
my brother breathed his last breath,
as an intoxicted teen.
I'm sorry to all who have suffered in any way because of alcohol.

Just randomly, Elizabeth decided we should do a post on our dogs. Since I can finally put pictures in without "Hello" (YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) I'm going to put one of Jake too!

A teary-eye, heartfelt, memory jogging picture for many of you. But make new friends and keep the old(even if they're dead), and thats just what I/we did.

On a cold morning in December, I had finsihed watching "A Cinderella Story," and decided to do some late morning/ early afternoon devotions. Little did I know, the hope had of getting a dog since the very day Jake died, finally came..it looked like it was actually going to happen. After even more begging and convining that we HAD to get another dog (and despite what anyone says, we did, ask anyone in my family, they would never give up Luke), finally i was putting up a "shopping for a dog" away message, and we were off to see the puppies, the wonderful puppies of amish country**tune to the wonderful wizard of Oz**. We finally found the place we were looking for, (it took FOREVER!!!!!! the suspense was killing me...just kidding...but the anxiousness and excitement was!) and got to go see the puppies. We wanted a guy, and there were only two guys. With the two guyswere their sisters (obviously) and one of them i will ALWAYS remeber. It was like Roxie only smaller, and brown. It may have even been hyperer (if that is a word).Anyways, two guy dogs. One hyper and playful (the one i was holding and wanted to get...only because i was holding it) and one laid back,quiet,and shy. Now guess which one is Luke? Yeah..you'll probably laugh at the answer if you've met Luke. It was the shy one..and he's grown tobe more outgoing...A LOT more outgoing. Anyways, we picked "Luke," paid for him, and off we were to introduce him to his new home..and his new friend Roxie..i'll spare you the details..It can get ugly. But now he is a big, hyper, playful, almost full-grown lab..and i think i will admit finally, that i'm glad we got him , instead of shopping for a black lab. :)

They're all leaving me!

All of them every last one of them! AHHHHH!!!! What am i going to do? I will have all the food i want, any computer i want, and iw ill be able to waqtch T.V. any time i want! WHAT AM I GOING TO DO WITH MYSELF?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? Becky, Stephen, and Jimmy will all be leaving tomarrow for CAmp Patmos. I an going to miss them sssssssooooooo much! Sure I'll have my friends and parents, but being an only child is as fun as you think it is (relation to other people w/ brothers and sisters). No Becky, no Jimmy, no Stephen, and no Brittany. When you reduce a family of 6 for a week to a family of 3, you can get severe cases of Sibling Withdrawl (worse than Chicago!).I willm miss you all, but have fun, and I love you all very much!

Sleepover At Liz's

Tonight after youth group, i went over to Elizabeth's to spend the night.After 2hrs of the sims,we took a break and played with this little game system thingy that her brother got for Christmas, and then played Tony Hawk(of course,Elizabeth won and i lost). Then we watched "Elf," best Christmas comedy ever, even if it is June (not including "A Christmas Story").Then, Elizabeth got some cheat codes for....you'll never guess....TONYHAWK, and we played that for a while, then played Diddy-Kong Racing for a while, and well,we'll just say i am as bad at that as i am at Tony Hawk. No, Worse! Well, i'm getting tired, Good night, and God Bless you! *Pastor*

Doggie Detectors

Ever wondered if dogs can see things that we can't?

I mean, my dog Luke, barks out of nowhere. It seems as if he is looking at something. He just stares and barks.It make no sense! Why would he be barking at nothing. I don't beleive in Ghosts, but would it be awfully stpid to post the question:

Can dogs see things that we can't?

A summer "Pop Quiz"

Okay,so yeah I'm out of school, but that doesn't mean i have no more tests. Actually i have a lot of them in the future. But lets startn with the one i had today.

Today during my devotions, i read about prayer. Ihad read about a man name Elijah, who had prayed earnestly, and got what he had asked for. I stopped reading on account of my breakfast was ready, so i ate it, and didn't dwell on the verse anymore.

Later this afternoon, Roxie got stuck under the barn. Now when i say Stcuk i mean STUCK. WE spent about and hour trying to get her back out. Guess what i did? I prayed. And I told God i would try and pray earnestly (didn't exactly know what it meant). Guess what happened?A little while after i prayed (I prayed more than once), my mom told us to leave her alone, and maybe she'd come out. About one minute after that, i was in the bathroom, and there is a window in it. I saw Roxie's little white head pop out. Then i saw her whole body pop out.

The American Idiots

Sorry to anyone who really likes this song...no offense!

"American Idiot"
Don't wanna be an American idiot.
Don't want a nation under the new media.
And can you hear the sound of hysteria?
The subliminal mind**** America.

Welcome to a new kind of tension.
All across the alien nation.
Everything isn't meant to be okay.
Television dreams of tomorrow.
We're not the ones who're meant to follow.
Well that's enough to argue.

Well maybe I'm the faggot America.
I'm not a part of a redneck agenda.
Now everybody do the propaganda.
And sing along in the age of paranoia.

Welcome to a new kind of tension.
All across the alien nation.
Everything isn't meant to be okay.
Television dreams of tomorrow.
We're not the ones who're meant to follow.
Well that's enough to argue.

Don't wanna be an American idiot.
One nation controlled by the media.
Information nation of hysteria.
It's going out to idiot America.

Welcome to a new kind of tension.
All across the alien nation.
Everything isn't meant to be okay.
Television dreams of tomorrow.
We're not the ones who're meant to follow.
well that's enough to argue
Green Day

Lets ponder for a moment.
America:
1.Free religion
2. Free speech
3.Voting
4.Education required
5. money available
6.food available
7.everyone is elligble for a job (sp)
8. Democracy
9.justice system
10. Government who listens

Hmm...and thats only 10 reasons why America is so cool

now refering back to the song.......
I don't think that Green Day is a bad band (except for language) and i don't think that American Idiot is completely worthless**i like the melody**. But, i do think that the message isn't very good. We have soliders fighting out there to keep our country the way it is. And unless this song is talking about the moral standing in some of the people in our country who murder and assault others, then this song is terrible. It doesnt honor those who were great. People such as past presidents, inventors, writers, actors,and much more. So, in conclusion, I have a question. If those fine, upstanding people heard this song and read the lyrics, what would they think?

*Yeah, sweet guys*

a post out of Anger

I am mad at America.Well, not America, but part of the government.Don't get me wrong, i love America.I wouldnt want to live anywhere else. But some of the things people do and some of the decisions people make in this country are just well, lacking common sense.For example: Today my mom was watching Dr.Phil, and i was in the room too.(Drinking chocolate milk after a walk with Luke)I saw previews for a story about a guy who was stabbed 9 times(stabbed to death), and the mother wanted revenge on the person who did it. That is not what i am mad about. I geuss the guy admitted himself, becasue they knew who had done it.Anyways, he wasnt arrested....put in jail...or i dont think he even was put on trial. Evidently he was doing it in self-defense.The kid he stabbed was sitting in a recliner!So in conclusion,I have a question to ask. If a guy approaches me and trys to abduct me, and i use tyquando(or however you spell it) towards him in self defense...i can get arrested. But if i stab the guy 9 times till he dies in self-defense...i dont get arrested?

*Can someone answer that question for me?*

To My Best Friend

To my very best friend (not my sis, even though shes my very best friend too!) Elizabeth.I want you to know how great of a friend you are, and how much i appreciate your friendship so much, and i treasure our great times together. You are such an awesome friend, and you are also close to the Lord.We've been through almost everything together. You have been my USTBFF(times 2 lol) for almst 13 years now, you are my USTBFF now, and you will always be my USTBFF! I love ya Liz(not that way), your the bestest best friend ever.

My Friends Away Message

Today my friend (who i will leave unnamed) left an away message and told me "sorry"

I figured it was poiltics, and guess what? I was right!!!!!

Here it is:
I really don't like political jokes...Too many of them are getting elected.
"They misunderestimated me."- George W. Bush
Governemnt philosophy: if it ain't broke, fix it 'till it is.
Don't support gay marriage? Don't have one.Don't support abortion? Don't get one.Don't agree with the war? Don't enlist.Don't agree with me? Vote for Bush!
Lol, I know the election was months ago, but this is funny. And I still hate Bush.

hmmm...If Bush was a political joke, would he have gotten so many votes, or even won the popular vote AN the electorial college vote...and Ohio???

And yes, they do misunderstand Bush. They all say "Hes an idiot" and make fun of him. But if i remember correctly about learning about presidents, you have to be REALLY REALLY smart to become president. Lets see, Bush did become president, and will be for 8 years (if he doesnt die or the rapture doesnt happen)....hmmm..I rest my case.

Lets see...Don't get married to the same sex if you dont like Gay MArriages-lets see how this turns how. there will be chaos. Why would i( a straght) person, want to be involved with, and influenced by a gay person...simple answer "I don't"

Dont support Abortion? hmm...ya..okay lets kill innocent lives, becasue we decided to create one, and now we dont want it. Ya..thats real nice.
And DONT try to tell me "oh, its just a fetus", or "oh, its just an Embryo", and dont even tell me "oh, its just a Zygote" I dont want to hear it. What ever stage it is in, then it is a living thing none the less.

Dont agree with the war? WE SUPPORT THE WAR!!!!!!

Dont agree with me? Well, i dont have anything to support me on this one :^)



I'm sorry if I offended anyone reading, and especially my friend, you know i still love you :^)

our own work

Did ya ever realize that we as humans, tend to hate our own work and love eryone elses?


For example,two of my best friends, are great poets.They always think their work stinks.

I love to read their poems.

Actually, one of them STILL has to keep up with a deal!

Any ways, i have just been informed by my sister that blogging about "important" things, things that matter as she puts it, is not normal.

Apparently, she jsut sits there and types.

WEll,
Anyways, I gots to go,

Social Studies Book

Wow! I am extremely impressed! My social study's book has A bible verse in it, and it has some information about Jeses, his death, life and teachings. Comming from a Tallmadge city School,where See you at the pole was once not aloud, and you couldnt put J/E/S/U/S (written like that for anti-drug purposes) as your anti-drug i was very impressed.
Don't get me wrong Tallmadge City Schools are a great school system, i wouldn't change schools, unless maybe for a year or so i could be with my Best friend over at Hyre, but i really like Tallmadge schools.

Don't get me wrong, we are definitly not perfect

There is one Student here though who has a horrible concious.(sorry if i spelled that wrong)He/she went around representing, or at least pretending to represent TMS and collected money for the tsunami relief fund-raiser, and then took that money, and put it in her/his own pocket.'



see what the world has come too?
