The Spider's Web

Have you ever thought about how a spider's web is like Satan's tricks? Just as a spider catches flies in a web Satan catches us in his tricks. Fortunately when we get caught in Satan's tricks all we have to do  is pray. Not so fortunatley for the prey of the spider though. Do see what I mean now? ^B^

Insentives

Do you ever need to have an incentive to do something? I know I do. I had to just this afternoon to run a 5k. My Girls on the Run coach promised us each a Webkinz if we did our best and we all did our best. Do you think you need and incentive to follow Jesus? Well here's one for you. If you follow Jesus you will get eternal life. That means even after you die, you will have life in Heaven where Jesus lives. I hope that this will cause many of you to become Christians.^B^

Your Daily Joke

Here is your joke for the day

A teacher asked a little boy " Tommy, what do you think the answer is?"

Tommy: " Well what do you think?"

Teacher: " I don't think, I know."

Tommy: " I don't think I know either."

This is funny! ^B^

Singing for Enjoyment

  Do you ever feel closer to The Lord when you  worship? I know I do. One  song that really makes me feel close to Jesus is the chorus of "  You are my King". It's a very nice song. It's actually one of my favorite songs to sing.   

  Did you ever think that you can sing for fun and to worship the king? Well you can. Any time Any place you can praise God. Just think about that this week. ^B^

Easter

Easter is all about Jesus. But over the years some people  have let commercializing get in the way of Christ. As many of us attend easter egg hunts there's one example. What we need in life is a  Christ based Easter Egg Hunt. We have that. An all year round Christ based Easter Egg Hunt. Bible sword drills. Looking up memory verses in Sunday School. Reading all-time favorite verses.These are all part of a Christ based Easter Egg hunt with no age limit on it. No matter how old or how young God wants everyone to paritcipate in this Easter Egg hunt.^B^

Thankfulness

A fruit of the spirit is a very important thing to have in life. Thankfulness might not be a fruit of the spirit,but it's still an important thing to have in our lives.  There's a whole day set aside for Thankfulness,Thanksgiving Day, even though it's more commonly known as stuff-your-mouth-and-stomach Day. For some it's probably also known as football Day, or maybe the day I don't get the TV.   

But behind that, there's a whole other meaning. Take a look at the name Thanksgiving. Thanks. Giving. on that day you give thanks. But not many people do that anymore. Instead they go to family's house and act like they're bears getting ready to hibernate. They eat,and eat,and eat until they can't eat another bite.

Thanksgiving is about giving thanks. Every day should be Thanksgiving in a Christian's life.Maybe Thankfulness should be a fruit of the spirit.

Over and Out,

My Favorite Parts of '07

Happy New Year everyone! 2007 was a good year for me. I hope it was for you too. Here are my favorite parts of 2007. 1. Taking swimming and basketball. I learned a lot from my instructor. My favorite stroke is free style. I'll resume my swimming in the spring. 2. Starting piano and violin lessons. Violin is hard but you learn things like hand-eye coordination, that aren't even musical. It's been almost a whole year since I started with my new teacher. 3. Moving into East Elementary. I really like Mrs. Courson, my teacher. In West, the other elementary school, East was where the big kids are. Now I'm a big kid to first and second graders. 4. Going to Pine Ridge Bible Camp. It was my first time being there and I want to go back this summer. The people are really nice and I made about 9 new friends who I hope I see again this summer.^B^

The Up North Adventure (Part 2)

Well we couldn't just stay at the hotel forever. This was Friday. On Sunday, when we got to the ship's loading dock, my brother and I were very shocked. "This ship is HUGE!" I thought. It sure was. Or so it looked. When I got inside with my family, we all exchanged a look that said "I thought this ship was big." Then we looked for a seat on the bow, or front of the ship. We had been there for an hour before we left the dock. The farther away we got, the bluer the waters got. Soon, however, we saw another ship. A faster more modern one. But it was an unreliable ship. For even though it was faster, it had a tendency to break down. At about 5:00 we reached Ludington. Then we waited about fifteen minutes for our car to come off the ship. When the car came off the ship, we found it and got in. Then we drove home. It was a spectacular vacation.

My ninth Birthday

On September 29th  I turned NINE! It was one of the best birthdays EVER! I got an MP3 player, a metronome,and a music bag from my parents.It was so funny! When I pulled out the MP3 player I started laughing so hard I was almost crying! I love all my presents. Another thing that was funny was that we had to resort  to giving a sixth grader my MP3 to download the songs that I wanted.I'm so happy to finally have an MP3 player. I also had a slumber party with 4 girls! It was tons of fun and we stayed up SUPER late.We played a game on the DVD player and  watched " Chcken Run".  We went to sleep between 12 and 2. We fell asleep one by one.
