Yes! The answer is water! Hurray! Hurray!
I will not be giving another riddle until after the first and hopefully by that time I will have prepared something for you to have a sneak peek of my book!!! Yay! Wouldn't that be nice!
I am still open for suggestions and what not.
I probably will not be posting at all till after the first...
Well, until then!

A Christmas Bummer: Merry Christmas???
Well, well, well…
It’s that time of year that everyone refers to as CHRISTMAS TIME.
Well, well, well… do any of you know what Christmas means?
1. It means the time of Christ’s birth.
2. It reminds me that winter time is here and the New Year is close and that I have tons of family and that I have tons of cooking to do… ect.ect.ect.
3. It means presents!
4. I do not know. Just means a holiday to me with no work.
Christmas is actually a pagan holiday where child sacrifice to a sun god dressed in red and white and who’s testacles were represented by ornaments hung on a tree and the tree was a representation of the sun god in the household and the lights in the window showed who worshiped him and who did not… trust me, I have studied and researched for two years now- Christmas, December 25, in all nations and cultures around the globe, has been celebrated as the birthday of a sun god, not Jesus Christ. (Jeremiah 10:3-4)
Sound slightly disturbing? That’s what I thought when I started to get really deep into the research and got the details on how many nations sacrificed their children to this god of the sun; it wasn’t pretty and I am not going to put all the details on here because it is sickening to know how many, many children were killed on December 25 (and not to mention still are).
But, so many think that Santa Clause is cute and nice, and do not realize that children were sacrificed to a sun god which he represents.
In one tribe of a nation, their idol of the sun god was a plump man that wore a cap, much like that of ‘Santa’s”. On December 25, in that tribe, they would heat the image until it was cherry red hot then they would throw their children into its lap…. But it’s ok to place our innocent children in the lap of the man who blindly represents a sun god cult.
The man in the suite, I can guarantee, doesn’t know a thing about this and means no harm at all, but we do not need to raise our children to believe that this plump, merry man dressed in red and white, is a good thing, because it is not.
… my family and I, celebrate Christmas because it is a time when we can remember what Christ did for us when he came as a baby…. We don't celebrate Santa Clause, or the trees, but celebrate Jesus…. The trees are a fun thing to do, and so is all the decorating, but Christmas really is, as so many songs say, found in the heart.
Christ is found in the heart, NOT Christmas, and yeah, I bet the pagans thought that it was fun to decorate too.
…Unlike Halloween, I think that Christmas still has some good in it….
Maybe, but I don’t want to be celebrating a holiday that makes the God of Heaven want to puke and that He said NOT, let me repeat that, NOT to celebrate! I think that it can be used for good.
Well although we do have a tree and lights, we don't celebrate them. They just help us get into the Christmas Spirit… But we do celebrate Jesus’ birth.
Ummm… where did Jesus say in the Bible to celebrate his birth???? And I really don’t think that you want to receive the Spirit of Christmas.
...So we can remember what Christ did for us when he came as a baby….
I have no problem with celebrating the reason that Jesus came to earth, but celebrating his birth on the birthday of a SUN GOD????!!!! That’s just wrong.
A little History
A long time ago, a very large group of people gathered together to build a tower that would reach to the heavens so that they could become as great as gods.
The leader of this group was a king named Nimrod.
Nimrod eventually died and was said that he went to live as a god with the other gods.
Well, later, his poor, poor widow became pregnant mysteriously which began to raise some questions about her ruling the kingdom.
However, she told the people that she did not become pregnant by natural means, but by the rays of the sun.
See, her husband was now the god of the sun, and as she had been worshiping the sun, he beamed her and she came up pregnant.
On December 25, the queen gave birth to a son and she called his name, Tammuz.
And Tammuz grew into a strong son of a god, but sadly on his 40th birthday, he went out hunting and was gored to death by a wild boar.
So, in mourning, the people fasted and wepped forty days for Tammuz and at the end of the forty days, feasted on wild boar (Oooooh! So that’s what the women in the book of Ezekiel were doing! Ezekiel 8:14).
Not long afterwards, Tammuz’ mother died. She went up to heaven, but the gods sent her back down to earth in a giant egg that fell into the Euphrates river and broke open and she came out as Easter, the goddess of fertility (with no shirt), and she turned a bird into an egg laying rabbit to demonstrate her power.
Sacrifices of children were made unto Easter and eggs were dipped/painted by the blood of these slain children in hopes that Easter would bless the women with more children.
Tammuz is the sun god now and children are also offered unto him on his birthday and he is worshiped at the beginning of every week when the sun comes up in the East. These special days are knows as Sundays.
A great and odd catastrophe happened and the people never finished their tower, but were scattered all over the earth and each took this loving and remarkable tale with them.
And that is not the End…
When the Holy Roman Empire came along, one of the great emperors named Constantine, saw in the East in the rising sun, the sign of ‘Christ’, a cross. He then decreed that no one could worship God on Saturdays, but on Sundays, that Sundays were now God’s holy days. Anyone caught worshiping on Sabbath, was killed.
Constantine also decreed that Christ’s birth should be celebrated on December 25 and his death and resurrection at Easter.
Constantine and his mommy preformed many more wonderful acts that we do not have time to get into at this time, that perfected the Holy Roman Church; the Catholic church.
And that is still not the end, but the end of the cult in its true colors… maybe.
1. This is all true. It is history; Babylonian history mostly, along with Roman history and other cultures' story of the sun god… they are all the same just told differently.
Did any of this sound slightly suspicious to you? It did to me!
· The tower was the tower of Babble
· The goddess Easter is the reason that there is an Easter.
· There is no way that you can get pregnant by the rays of the sun.
· If you are a god, why did you kill yourself?
· If you were a ‘Christian’ what were you doing facing the East at sunrise?
· What makes you think that Nimrod’s and Tammuz’ special days need Jesus in them too?
· Why is your ‘Christ’ worshiped on December 25 like the other sun gods?
Answer: Because you were not worshiping the true God, Constantine, you were worshiping the Babylonian sun gods!
Just to let you know; Jesus was NOT born on December 25. He was most likely born during the feast of tabernacles which is around September/October. There are many arguments concerning this, but I can guarantee you that Our Savior was not born on December 25, on the birthday of every sun god in the world.
So now you know the beginning of Christmas. It is still the same thing just cloaked in friendlier colors. That is not all that I know about Christmas; there is tons and tons more that I do not have space to put down.
It is my belief that Christmas is still being celebrated by witches and other Satanists as a truly pagan ritual. I do not have facts to back me up on this yet, but I’m gonna research it and find out. I know that Satanists do celebrate winter (Winter solstice), but I’m not sure about Christmas.
Well, I have done my part and told you, just as the LORD told me. I’m sorry if you’re mad at me, but just to let you know; I don’t care.
Now it is your turn. I have given you the information, now you need to act or not act on it.
God says that if you do something ignorantly, He will not hold you guilty, but if you do something, knowing the truth, He will hold you guilty and you will have to answer for it.
It is my duty to let you know, but you have to decide what the LORD wants you to do. My family and I continued to celebrate Christmas, just not like we used to, but it felt empty and meaningless and wrong. I think that the LORD wants us all to know and to stop, but what do you think? What is God saying to you?

A little help PLEASE! And the hint to the riddle.
Thats right. I need a little help...
I cannot decide what on earth would be the best kind of 'sneak peak' to put on my blog for you to read; a poem explaining it slightly, a synopsis of the whole thing, or just a chapter to give you a inside, exclusive look... what do you think; better yet, what do you want?
I need you to tell me what you think would be the best one to do, because I cannot decide... I have almost decided NOT to do a whole chapter, because they run anywhere from ten to TWENTY pages long! But it is totally up to you. Please leave in the comments your suggestions.
And, yes, I can give a hint to the riddle... he- he... this hint will probably give the whole thing away... oh, well
Life on earth cannot survive without it
That is the hint.
Looking forward to your suggestions! More like begging for them!!!!

The next riddle
We finally got snow! It has been really pretty, but hard on the animals because of frozen water, but it is still a blessing!
I hope that you readers did not break any ribs over the last two posts below... my mom and my sister almost did and it made me slightly concerned about you guys when I started to think about it. Well, anyway, as long as you don't die, everything will be fine... i mean good... you don't want to be F.I.N.E. like my mom.
Anyway, on to buisness.
The next riddle is:
What cannot be broken, but if you pick it up it falls apart?
This was a very easy one for me... I hope it is for you! Have fun!

My family in my eyes.
Ok. I’d like to introduce you to my family.
My dad is very laid back sort of person that works in the oil field and he and I can almost always understand each other. We have the same thought pattern, you see. I enjoy working with him and talking with him and trust his judgment…except maybe on horses. He hates horses and calls them ‘planet destroyers’ and calls dogs ‘ugly and stupid’ and cats ‘dragons’ or ‘liberals’ and cows ‘sweet and innocent’ and chickens ‘good and perfect’ and goats…well depends if they let him touch their ears or not. Of course he is just joking, but nothing has a real name; he gives it a weird, but simple name like ‘ugly’ ‘stupid’ ‘retarded’ ‘box o’ rocks’ things like that. He listens to Rush Limbaugh every day, likes computers, loves action packed movies and Beverly Hillbillies, and teasing my mom. Thankfully, he does allow us to have horses.
My mom is F.I.N.E. She really is, all the time. Freaked out, Insecure, Neurotic, and Emotional (though this is the way many mothers are in my observations. Not all, just many). Well, that may be a little exaggerate, but it’s close to true. She loves horses and children and cats and puppies and bunnies and, well, anything cute. She and I do not click well at all, but we both really try.
See, she looks at everything in life seriously and tensely, while I on the other hand, look at everything in life nonchalantly and coolly unless someone is dying.
She wants to help everyone in the world with their problems; I think that people need to pull up their big kid breaches and get on with life, and if they want help, they can ask for it.
She thinks about every little thing before taking one step; I never think unless I have to and when I do think I think deep, very deep. Like, I think about weird things, like walking. Have you ever thought about how you walk? Its miraculous I tell you! I thought about it so hard that I had to relearn myself how to walk. It almost scared me. That is how deep I think about things. The rest of the time I just walk on in life knowing that God will take care of me as long as I do my part and I can do my part without thinking much. So there!
My first youngest sister is a lot like my mom. She gets scared about everything that has to do with associating with human kind. She would rather spend her life outside with the animals then inside around humans, even her own family. She has to be tough about everything, but would rather avoid unnecessary pain or sickness.
Something about her and my mom, they DO NOT like to be sick. They would rather die than be sick. They even told me so. Me on the other hand; sickness only last so long, as doe’s pain. Get over it.
Maybe that is why I got so many spankings when I was little; I just had to do what I knew was not right even if I knew that I was going to get a spanking. Pain only last a little while, so why not take the risk. I mean, what’s the worst that could happen? They could kill me! Anyway.
My sister is very plain and simple. Jeans, shirt, belt, three knives on the belt, three knives in her pockets with her pocket watch, boots, one braid in the back of her head and she is set to go; she can out last anything- as long as she has her dog and horse and her other dog and her goat that has the most stinky breath in the world, then she is set to go…as long as it is not beyond our property line. She doesn’t want to be in the house with the family, but she does not feel secure away from the family… ok, to sum my sister up, she is just weird. Now we will move on to the next sibling.
The oldest boy in our family (unfortunately, my little brother) likes to dress sharp and handsome. He is a ‘charmer’ and is curios about everything… everything not really worth being curios about, in my opinion. He cannot see anything three feet past his nose, unless he REALLY wants to; even then I am not so sure that he sees it… He asks some of the most ridicules questions, like: ‘What would happen if you were as stupid as you looked?’ and ‘Why do people put on shoes?’ when he knows the answer to that one…well he should, but I don’t think that he does seeing as he had no shoes on after he met the snake, and got stickers in his feet, and stepped on a stick and cut his foot, etc. He might get that one from me though because I don’t wear shoes very often because my feet get hot fast.
He is smart in spite of all this, though he spends most of his school time in space flying around with Buz Lightyear to fight the Evil Emperor Zurg.
He complements everybody on every thing, especially if it is something pretty; he really has an eye for pretty things.
My next sister is another animal lover, but mostly a horse lover after mine own heart. She likes the skirts that mom makes for her, but does not like me to dress her up in princess clothes, just like my other sister mentioned above. I don’t know what they have against dressing up, but they got it, that’s for sure! ‘Hang dress up! Let’s go ride the horses and shoot armadillos!’ Though this is just my explanation of them; they are actually very quiet. Too quiet some times, but other times not quiet enough… they can be extreme jabber boxes when circumstances and the climate are just right.
My next brother is complete and total boy. John Deere tractors, John Deere stuff, cowboy boots and a .22 riffle and 100 miles per hour and if anything is in his way it is not going to exist any more when he’s done going by!
He talks as fast as he can and talks to everyone like they are three miles away and cannot hear him… it never occurs to him that they might be sitting right beside him and they might not be deaf yet.
He tries really hard to be gentle and he is so loving, but he is so big and rough!
He is a complete bull in a china closet and just like his brother above (maybe not quiet as bad) he is oblivious to everything except himself.
And finally my baby sister.
She is an Alberta Einstein in the making. She is only two years old and can talk very well and means everything that she says. Before she could even walk, she was putting puzzles together, building castles, matching colors and figuring out how to open things that we thought were ‘childproof’. She was walking earlier than any of the others in our household. She has all of her baby teeth, even her five year old molars at two years of age. She can understand just about everything you say as long as you put it in simple terms for her. She draws pictures and gets into things that she knows that you want and need and she stashes them where only she can fit and will later use them for something mischievous or she might give ‘em back if you ask really nice for them.
So now, this is my family… and I am not ashamed of them or embarrassed by them… in fact I think that I am more of an embarrassment to them… well at least to my mom and my first sister. They are pretty easy to embarrass when I am around!
We all love God as a family and even though we do not always get along, we are very happy together and I consider them all as my best friends next to Jesus.
Well, I hope that this has helped you to get to know my family better and know what I come from. I hope that you enjoyed it and maybe you got to know me a little better as well!

P. S.
My family’s definition of the word ‘Family’:
Family in dad’s eyes: Eating popcorn together and watching Beverly Hillbillies.
Family in mom’s eyes: Sitting round the table having Bible study and telling us how to be better children to her.
Family in firstborns eyes: Normal firstborns; the ones who cramp my style- In this firstborn’s eyes; those who would not survive if I left them for very long.
Family in 2nd born eyes: Loving, crazy people that are fine to have as long as I am not around them.
Family in 3rd born eyes: Uuuuuh… what’s a family?
Family in 4th born eyes: Those who, love horses and those who do not.
Family in 5th born eyes: Deaf, in the way, and I don’t really care.
Family in 6th born eyes: My subjects here to serve me!

He complements everybody on every thing, especially if it is something pretty; he really has an eye for pretty things.
My next sister is another animal lover, but mostly a horse lover after mine own heart. She likes the skirts that mom makes for her, but does not like me to dress her up in princess clothes, just like my other sister mentioned above. I don’t know what they have against dressing up, but they got it, that’s for sure! ‘Hang dress up! Let’s go ride the horses and shoot armadillos!’ Though this is just my explanation of them; they are actually very quiet. Too quiet some times, but other times not quiet enough… they can be extreme jabber boxes when circumstances and the climate are just right.
My next brother is complete and total boy. John Deere tractors, John Deere stuff, cowboy boots and a .22 riffle and 100 miles per hour and if anything is in his way it is not going to exist any more when he’s done going by!
He talks as fast as he can and talks to everyone like they are three miles away and cannot hear him… it never occurs to him that they might be sitting right beside him and they might not be deaf yet.
He tries really hard to be gentle and he is so loving, but he is so big and rough!
He is a complete bull in a china closet and just like his brother above (maybe not quiet as bad) he is oblivious to everything except himself.
And finally my baby sister.
She is an Alberta Einstein in the making. She is only two years old and can talk very well and means everything that she says. Before she could even walk, she was putting puzzles together, building castles, matching colors and figuring out how to open things that we thought were ‘childproof’. She was walking earlier than any of the others in our household. She has all of her baby teeth, even her five year old molars at two years of age. She can understand just about everything you say as long as you put it in simple terms for her. She draws pictures and gets into things that she knows that you want and need and she stashes them where only she can fit and will later use them for something mischievous or she might give ‘em back if you ask really nice for them.
So now, this is my family… and I am not ashamed of them or embarrassed by them… in fact I think that I am more of an embarrassment to them… well at least to my mom and my first sister. They are pretty easy to embarrass when I am around!
We all love God as a family and even though we do not always get along, we are very happy together and I consider them all as my best friends next to Jesus.
Well, I hope that this has helped you to get to know my family better and know what I come from. I hope that you enjoyed it and maybe you got to know me a little better as well!
Sweetpea
P. S.
My family’s definition of the word ‘Family’:
Family in dad’s eyes: Eating popcorn together and watching Beverly Hillbillies.
Family in mom’s eyes: Sitting round the table having Bible study and telling us how to be better children to her.
Family in firstborns eyes: Normal firstborns; the ones who cramp my style- In this firstborn’s eyes; those who would not survive if I left them for very long.
Family in 2nd born eyes: Loving, crazy people that are fine to have as long as I am not around them.
Family in 3rd born eyes: Uuuuuh… what’s a family?
Family in 4th born eyes: Those who, love horses and those who do not.
Family in 5th born eyes: Deaf, in the way, and I don’t really care.
Family in 6th born eyes: My subjects here to serve me!

A new fascination and answer to the riddle
I have a new fascination.
Dab a bit of hot glue on something then pull it out and make a string then wrap it around your finger while slowly pumping the glue. You will get a rubber finger! It’s awesome!
Something else about hot glue that used to fascinate me; it hurt like crud, but it was fun, smearing the glue straight from the gun all over your finger to get a rubber finger and later a rubber cap. It was totally fun to peal off. However as you can imagine, doing that too many times can leave a blister…but it was worth it!
Ok, I am very tired and extremely hyper. My mom and my sister are about ready to strangle me; I am driving them crazy!
We have been making paper mashie snowmen.
To day we had to saw off there bottoms so that they would sit straight. I was having far too much fun teasing my mom and sister.
I was speaking for the snowmen: “Oh!!! The pain, the pain!!!” I would say as I helped to saw off their bottoms.
One of the last ones that they did needed its inside dusted out. So I took it over to the trash and dusted it out there and looked inside and found--- *gasp* FUNNY PAPERS!!!! Oh joy!
My mom nearly lost it. Don’t ask me why, but she almost did- in a good way… sort of. Oh, anyway, the funny papers weren’t much to read because they were torn. *sigh*
Then this evening, we had to drill holes in their sides for the cinnamon sticks for their arms. I had fun with that one too; my sister was talking on the phone with my grandma and I was being rather loud and needless to say, I was embarrassing her. Nothing new. I embarrass my mom and sister all the time; in Wal-Mart, in the grocery store, wherever. I really don’t mean too, I just do it naturally…maybe, slightly, little bitty, on purpose ¼ of the time. Anyway, they get over it; it’s not a killer… yet. Mwhaha!
We have also been baby sitting today… it is only two little girls, but these kids (the two extras and ours combined) have the energy of two people and don’t know how to express it in any other way other than screaming and running around through our poor, small, 100 year old house. That is like having 12 people in our house…not including my hyper self and mom and dad and sister.
It has been crazy, especially when the girls think that the boys are evil and don’t want anything to do with them; then there is conflict and more screaming and eventually pain and a crazy mother in the end, not to mention my tired, already crazy self. It also doesn’t help that the two youngest babies of the families think that the other is specifically put on earth to throw the other from the throne of ‘baby girl’ in the family.
*SIGH* It has been interesting all day long, basically, not to mention fun…for me anyway. He- he.
And finally, the answer to the riddle is............. your going to feel really silly..... An Egg!
That was a good one, no?
Well, I must go now. I will be back soon.

The next riddle
Well, I am finally, mostly over the cold, but it was a tough one.
I am still snorting and such, but not bad and not to the point of rubbing the epedermis off of my nose! Skin that is.
Well, I believe that I shall give the next riddle.
A box without hinge key or lid,
yet golden treasure inside is hid.
Well, now, let us see how many try to answer that.
I certainly look forward to seeing the answers!
Sweetpea
P.S.
You may want a hint on this one. I don't mind giving one. : )

EXITED ABOUT MY BOOK
Alright, this is not a 'sneak peak'...not yet, but I just have to put this on here cause I'm silly!
I am half way through with it.
I have over 200 pages already.
I am excited.
I am mad because it is not going as fast as I would like it to.
I want to finish it by January, but I'm not sure if I can... another 200 pages is allot to do in a months time. I am going to try my very best though... I would love to see it in hardback before our 'Dictator elect Hussein' starts to shut down the publishing companies...book publishing is a freedom of the people that he is most likely going to take away from us...well anyway. I should not worry about that.
Anyway, I will be putting a 'sneak peak' of my book on here at some time; a teaser if you will...maybe a chapter or something like that...if I do a chapter I'll pick one that will make you scream when there is no more to read...Mhahahahaha! That will make you want to buy it! My plan is so evil and genius! (Yes, a 'marshen' can be a genius sometimes)Hehe!
Until next time my brave audience!

Balbing and prepare for the inevitable
Ok Heather... you can give the answer to the riddle since no one else seems interested in doing so... *sigh*
Well, anywho, I have a bit of shocking news for those of you who have not seen me of late and have always known me for my long thick hair... I cut it.
"Umm, well, ok...so?" is probably what your thinking, well I did not just cut it; I bobbed it- short-short-short. Yeah short! The next shocking thing is that I am also going to be really, really silly and dye it. Don't panic! I'm not going to dye my whole head; just put in streaks...maybe...something sorta like that. I am thinking auburn would look natural and beautiful and so do all of my advisers of the castle...(family, friends, etc.) I could do blond streaks and look punky and weird, but I think that there might be a few people who would try to kill me if I did that, and I think that it being the first time to dye my hair, I would like something more natural looking.
My mom tried to use a herbal dye in my hair: henan color (kinda reddish purple color), but my hair is so healthy and chemically resistant that it barley highlighted it...barely and Heather can attest to that.
So I am going to try something a little more extreme...maybe...I don't know...most likely.
Anyway, everybody that I see that knows me says that my hair looks really cute in a bob and that I look quite a bit older...some even tease that it'll help me get my drivers licence...yeah right. If I wasn't a Christan, I would probably want to shoot the person who came up with the idea for a drivers licence, but I actually feel sorry for them. Really,I do! They must have had a miserable life having to depend on someone or something to tell them that they could do something, like drive. I feel so sorry for those kind of people...Heather is one of em, maybe that's why... ( :
Well, anyway, I got to go. I will be taking my fourth drivers test soon, so I would really appreciate all your prayers...and if I don't pass it and don't beat my mom in ONE game of checkers...I will have to consider going back to mars!!!!

A riddle a Week
Ok, Im going to try this and see what happens... it may end up being a riddle a month, but we will see. The thing is, I will post a riddle and you guys will leave in the comments what you think the answer is. Ok? I'll start with the easy ones first! Then they get hard! (I love riddles!)
First riddle:
Voiceless it cries,
Wingless it fluters,
Toothless it bites,
Mouthless it mutters.
(Heather... not to seem rude, but I know that you know the answer so you will have to be the last to put your comment... hehe! Just kidding. ;p)
I will be giving the correct answer with the next riddle! Good luck!

Hail Fair Warriors!
Don't worry. Its still me; I just changed the title a little bit. The old title was getting alittle confusing between me and my mom... and I liked the Shieldmaiden idea better... hehe.
What is a shieldmaiden? A shieldmaiden was a woman warriar for her country and king. Eowyn in The Lord of the Rings was a shieldmaiden. I figured that if I'm a 'soldier' for the LORD then I would actually be a shieldmaiden. I like that term better than 'soldier'; not that it really matters...
Anyway, I thought that I would let you know so that ya'll wouldn't get worried. Hehe! I just hope that I spelled it right!!!
Until the next time fair warriors!

About the election and things on my moms blog
OK. Inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale. Seeeeeethe.
I do not know how many people visit my blog and my moms, but I know that there are a few, and if any of the ones who left the comments on her blog questioning some of her stuff visit mine, then I have a few things to say to you:
(Please read all the way through even if you don’t like it; and if you have any comments, put your name or initials on them.)
One: We DO NOT (and by we I mean America) repeat; DO NOT deserve God’s blessing at all. For we have ALL sinned and fallen short of the glory of God* (Romans 3:23) and so far, I have not seen America bless God or follow His standards. (And I would like to thank the lady that pointed this out on my mom’s blog)
We have ‘christians’ that are gay.
We go to church every week, but during the week we are demon possessed heathens.
We say that abortion is ok, because the mother has right to make her own choices ect. ect. (What about the innocent little life that she is carrying? Does that baby have a choice?).
We allow other religions around us that HATE our God and us, ‘but that’s ok’ ‘we need to be culture friendly’.
We have elected people as our leaders, who we KNOW do not follow God (and I am not just talking about Obama).
Need I go on?
God said that we are not to tolerate the gays because He WILL NOT tolerate what they are doing. Though He still loves them, they will not go to Heaven.
God has a law written that says "Thou shall not MURDER". Point blank.
God has said that He does NOT: N- O- T; does not want us to accept other religions or be around them, because we can become SO perverted and influenced in a bad way by these other religions and turn away from Him.
And finally we need to pray and choose a leader that would please God, NOT us.
WE HAVE GONE ASTRAY AND TURNED EVERYONE TO HIS OWN WAY!!* (Isaiah 53:6)
So, am I saying that God shouldn’t bless our country?
YEP.
We are mocking Him to His face, we have turned our backs on Him, we are rejecting Him, we are lucky that he has not annihilated us as it is!!! And Heaven knows that we ought to be disintegrated, but praise be; He LOVES us, red, yellow, brown, black, white, pink, orange, purple, blonde, brunet, ash, raven,; HE LOVES US, but we have shown that we hate Him. So why should He bless us?!
America, BLESS YOUR GOD.
Two: We are going to a one world currency…
Sorry, but we just are. The Bible says we are.
Don’t take my word for it though, go look it up in your Bible yourself!
Three: This whole election was about race.
If you do not think that this whole election was about race… look again.
I personally do not care if we have a black president, but what was wrong with Allen Keys when he was running for president? The Media ran Mr. Keys to the ground, but lifted Barack Hussein Obama up like a god. What is wrong with this picture?
I like change! I was all for a new sort of president when Clinton was in. That needed to change!
There is nothing wrong with change, but change is meant to be for the BETTERMENT of the people and country; not for the worse. ‘Dictator Deluxe Hussein’ is not for America’s betterment. SORRY! He is not! His religion says that he is to destroy us and the Muslims said that they would destroy us from within our country… if you don’t think that Barack is not Muslim then why does he not honor our solders and our flag and the Holy Bible???? Because Islam forbids it. His dad was Muslim so he probably is too.
And finally: SHUT UP PEOPLE!!!!
Anyone who is truly in the LORD’S army, needs to stop bickering and haggling about the stupid election and president and start reaching out to people and telling them to repent of their sins! And I mean repent. We are running out of time and I don’t want to go before God empty handed!
This ‘you ask Jesus into your heart and you’ll be saved’ goody, goody feeling thing has so got to quit! People need to be really convicted and repent!
The Bible says that if you believe that Jesus came to earth as a man, died for your sins and rose from the dead and if you repent of your sins and acknowledge that Jesus is Lord; then, only then, you will be saved.**
Sack the ‘feel goodie- goodie’ thing and get real! This is not supposed to feel all good and fuzzy about yourself and what you have done! You are supposed to gain a deep peace in your heart that you are secure in God’s arms and start yearning to learn more about Him and to reach others and tell them about what He did for you and them. That yearning is a desperate feeling! We are under spiritual warfare whether you want to admit it or not! The devil is trying to kill us and your spirit is supposed to know that and be feeling desperate to reach out to the lost in sin and dying!
And this does not mean ‘go into foreign missions’. America is a mission. God often calls us to start in our own home town. The world starts where you are at. When He said "go into all the world" He did mean foreign countries, but it starts at your own home!
(That makes me feel better that I can start somewhere close.)
I don’t like it that our country has become so perverted that other countries are sending their people to preach the Gospel to us!
Wake up!
America is a heathen country now and it is gonna get worse! Much worse! We have got to have a revival and preach the true Gospel to our countrymen. Not the gospel according to Barack Obama or Al Gore or Hillary Clinton or George or Mary or Becky or Sweetpea or whomever; it has got to be GOD’S/ JESUS’.
Have I made a point?
I don’t care if you don’t want to read it or hear it, but I have been silent long enough and could not stand it any longer.
Sorry if you don’t like what I have to say, but ya know what? I was not put on this earth to please man; I was put on this earth to please God and bring glory to him. So there. (I must have some of my mom’s saspot in me.)
I have told you what God has put on my heart. He most likely would have said it more gently, but then he could say it with a loud booming voice too.
This may seem rude and out of place for a Seventeen year old, but then; who was gonna do it when God put it on my heart.
From here on, I will be talking little about politics and much about Salvation.
Politics is stupid, Salvation is real.
While this is still a free country, I have an opinion and I can voice it… or write it. You also have an opinion, so leave a comment if you so wish.

The Bible says that if you believe that Jesus came to earth as a man, died for your sins and rose from the dead and if you repent of your sins and acknowledge that Jesus is Lord; then, only then, you will be saved.**
Sack the ‘feel goodie- goodie’ thing and get real! This is not supposed to feel all good and fuzzy about yourself and what you have done! You are supposed to gain a deep peace in your heart that you are secure in God’s arms and start yearning to learn more about Him and to reach others and tell them about what He did for you and them. That yearning is a desperate feeling! We are under spiritual warfare whether you want to admit it or not! The devil is trying to kill us and your spirit is supposed to know that and be feeling desperate to reach out to the lost in sin and dying!
And this does not mean ‘go into foreign missions’. America is a mission. God often calls us to start in our own home town. The world starts where you are at. When He said "go into all the world" He did mean foreign countries, but it starts at your own home!
(That makes me feel better that I can start somewhere close.)
I don’t like it that our country has become so perverted that other countries are sending their people to preach the Gospel to us!
Wake up!
America is a heathen country now and it is gonna get worse! Much worse! We have got to have a revival and preach the true Gospel to our countrymen. Not the gospel according to Barack Obama or Al Gore or Hillary Clinton or George or Mary or Becky or Sweetpea or whomever; it has got to be GOD’S/ JESUS’.
Have I made a point?
I don’t care if you don’t want to read it or hear it, but I have been silent long enough and could not stand it any longer.
Sorry if you don’t like what I have to say, but ya know what? I was not put on this earth to please man; I was put on this earth to please God and bring glory to him. So there. (I must have some of my mom’s saspot in me.)
I have told you what God has put on my heart. He most likely would have said it more gently, but then he could say it with a loud booming voice too.
This may seem rude and out of place for a Seventeen year old, but then; who was gonna do it when God put it on my heart.
From here on, I will be talking little about politics and much about Salvation.
Politics is stupid, Salvation is real.
While this is still a free country, I have an opinion and I can voice it… or write it. You also have an opinion, so leave a comment if you so wish.

After drivers test three...
A couple of ways to run a stop sign:
(Don’t sweat, its easy, trust me.)
1. Just forget that it is there and drive on.
2. Slowly edge forward, but never stop (I found this out on my third flunked driving test the other day).
3. If driving a standard, go half way past the stop sign and kill the motor… just don’t kill your grandmother with a minor heart attack over it… better yet, don’t have her in the vehicle.
4. Start stopping, but when you remember that you don’t need to turn just keep driving forward. A tip on this one: don’t do it behind the police station.
5. Am I telling you this out of experience? Yep.
6. If you have any other ideas on how to run a stop sign; please tell us in your comment.
7. Am I mad over not passing my third driving test? Nope. I’M JUST EXTREMLY DEPRESSED!!!!!!!!
Stop sign runnin gal: Sweetpea
Why oh why cant I figure out that STOP does not mean Slightly Tap On Pedel?

Driving test #1
A few tips for those of you who are soon going to be taking a drivers test and some comedy for those of you who have taken it…
1 When you get in the vehicle take three deep breaths; in, out, in, out, in, out.
2 When the examiner gets in the vehicle touch your mirrors and make sure they are adjusted correctly just for his benefit.
3 When you back up do not look through your mirrors but look over your right shoulder even if you are driving a van… grrrr.
4 If you should be asked to turn left onto a four lane road, please turn into the left lane not the right… bad habit.
5 At a stop light even if you have the right of way, look both ways just in case someone should run the red light; and be rather exaggerated about it just for the examiners benefit.
6 Be sure to study lots on the different ways of parking before you take your test so that you at least have some idea how to parallel park and please remember which way to turn your wheels when parking on a hill… ahem.
7 As I said earlier, look behind your right shoulder when backing no matter what… you may look behind your left for a moment, but not to long.
8 When turning please remember to hug the right turn and swing the left turn. Not hard.
9 And last but definitely not least, PLEASE, no matter how nervous you are, DO NOT run the stop sign… as I did… Ow that hurt.
If you are wondering if I am telling you out of experience, then the answer is yes.
My first drivers test, I turn into the right lane instead of the left on a four lane road (I have the parents to blame for that one though… hehe), I didn’t exaggerate my looking both ways for the examiner, so he took it that I didn’t look, I completely flunked the parallel parking, I forgot to turn my tiers when parking on a hill by a curb, I didn’t look behind my right shoulder when backing (course I couldn’t see a thing when backing in that big, clumsy van anyway) and last of all I ran a stop sign… Ow that hurt.
So these are some things for you to consider and hopefully remember in the future.
The examiner did not quite agree with the S.T.O.P. meaning that I gave him…
Slightly Tap On Pedal, but he took it very well!
Humbly yours,

Drivers test #2
This is going to be rather short. I have one more thing to add to my first drivers test list:
10 Endeavor not to bump over a curb… especially with both wheels.
Yes, sadly and MOST UPSETTINGLY I did not pass my second test simply because I bumped over a curb in the van… right from the start.
I was not nervous this time, however the examiner (he was a different one this time) seemed to be the nervous one.
He had to ‘end the simulation immediately’ after I bumped over the curb… with both tiers… grrrr.
“You either need more practice, or” he looks around at the rather large van “Or you need a different vehicle.” Then he gets out of the van walks into the building and tells my mother the same thing.
My mother is shocked.
“She never bumps over a curb. I am usually getting on to her to get closer to them.” Is what she says.
So anyway, we are both thinking that # three is a charmer and we are going to get the windshield fixed in the pickup (or borrow someone else’s) so that I can try the test in it.
We went to the ‘miniature city’ in the pickup the other day and I drove the whole time and did perfectly fine in it except that I forgot to look over my right shoulder when backing a few times, but that was it. There was a lot of traffic that day, but I still did fine. I am just way more comfortable in the pickup.
So I will eventually type again and tell you of my third try at trying to earn a little piece of plastic that says I can drive. Until then… pray for me and the dear examiners.
Yours truly,
Aggravated, upset, van unloving, not feeling sweet or Christ like right now,

Death to computers!!!
OK. It wasn't actually the computer this time. It was my little hard drive that was not suppose to die. So much for that. It choked, died and took everything that I had on it with it to Davey Jones Locker...I know! Davey Jones is not real, but it didn't go to heaven either! I had two documents that were not saved over to my computer and some pictures and my book. Yes, MY BOOK. I do have my book updated; however I had not recently updated it onto my computer and I had a whole complicated page and a half typed on it. RRRRRRR!!!
Burp, choke, die- repeat Burp, choke, die.... is anyone else seeing a pattern here? I am!
The little picture is supposed to be an animation of a computer burning up. I don't exactly want to burn my computer- I would rather zap it to life then throttle it. Or the hard drive in this instance. Anyway. Hopefully I can get some more un-irratated posts on here soon. Until then.

Ok. I am very mad at my computer.
I have been typing my book that I am writeing on my computer. Well, the other night, guess what, it decided to burp. I was trying to shut down and it acts like it is going to then it goes and acts like it is restarting and it starts going through all of my documents and showing me its "progress". Then it comes back onto my home screen. It looks like that the shortcut to my book is still there so I shrug my shoulders and turn it off.
The next day I got on to type some more on my book I find that it is not there! It deleted it!!!!
At least I had back up, however before it burped I had almost finished the eighth chapter but now I am going to have to rewrite it all!
Anyway such is life. Never trust a computer.

Hi! Sweetpea here!
I have been studying a book called: LEARN TO WRITE THE NOVEL WAY by Carole Thraxton. It teaches you how to produce your own novel and makes you practice all writing skills. You also can earn one full English composition credit doing this book.
So far I have really enjoyed it. It has been fun and has made me really get to know my character (in my book) and has shown me a lot of things about writing and has given me a lot of good ideas for my book that I am writing.
It was a little slow to begin with because it started out trying to help you find out what kind of book you want to write, you’re character that you want in you’re book, and to help you get started writing. Well, it was slow for me anyway, because I have already picked out what book I am going to write and I have already started writing it (and it is coming along well, but I do wish that it would be coming along faster, but doesn’t every author wish that?). Anyway, the “Ginny pigs” that are reading my chapters as I get them printed are saying that they really like them and they are going to disown me if I keep leaving them in stressful suspense. I will just take that as that they like it. Anyway.
This guide is really helping me get along good as I write my book and I would recommend this book to anyone who would like to write a novel (teens mostly. It is for grades 5-12, but I don’t see why an adult can’t do it too). It is very easy to do, very self explanatory.
I would also like to recommend another book called: HOW TO WRITE A BOOK IN FORTY DAYS AND GET IT PUBLISHED! By David Melton. A no-nonsense, do-it-now, do-it-well, approach to writing and selling you’re first book.
It may sound crazy, but if someone has a lot of time on their hands, they could defiantly write their book in forty days (I thought that I was going to make it, but now I don’t think that I am. Bummer). It only like takes a couple of hours to read this guide, and it is also for beginning writers (adults mostly), but it doesn’t give you any English credits and doesn’t teach you how to write really good, So I recommend both books.
LEARN TO WRITE THE NOVEL WAY is going to take a person a while to get through, but I am sure that it would be well worth it. Also, it gives a Christian perspective to writing, which is very, very good. It defiantly brought up some issues in my book that I hadn’t thought about.
HOW TO WRITE A BOOK IN FORTY DAYS is fast and gets you on the ball! Makes you exited! It really motivates you! However, it doesn’t have a Christian perspective and doesn’t make you think very much.
Anyway, I figured that I would post this and recommend these two books for anyone who wants to write!
I am sure that you can find these books on Amazon. You can find just about anything on Amazon. Anyway.
Have a great day (or night or afternoon as the case may be)!

OK. This is really silly.
Ya know that book that I am doing called Learn to Write the Novel Way? Well it was having me practice this thing of identifying the characters and setting and the basic conflict and all that stuff, basically a synopsis of a book, and it said a fairy tale would be easy. Well, I decided to do Sleeping Beauty. Not the Disney version, But the original.
I thought that you might like to see the finished work. Just please don’t break any ribs, like my mom and sister almost did. And in case none of you can tell after reading this; I detest romance! Some of you may never see Sleeping Beauty the same again.
Sleeping Beauty
Characters/Setting: Sleeping Beauty, The prince, an old Kingdom, an old castle.
Basic conflict (predicament, dilemma, or problem): An evil witch puts on a curse on a baby princess, saying that when she turns 16, she’ll get poked and fall asleep and the whole kingdom will also fall asleep. The only good thing is that a fairy said that it will only last 100 years.
The moment of climax (and where my sugar high began to really kick in!): Well, wouldn’t you know, when that beautiful princess turned 16, she put her finger on something poky (wouldn’t that figure) and she liked to drop dead along with the whole rest of the kingdom.
The resolution: Finally, 100 years later, some handsome prince comes along, cuts through all the weeds, and wanders around till he finds a beautiful dusty princess that he thinks he just has to kiss. Well, he kisses her (after romantically blowing off 100years of dust) and her pretty, 116 year old eyelids pop open and she sees that handsome prince and they kiss some more and the whole kingdom wakes up and realizes what had happened. (And if it would have been me, knowing my luck, they would have gained up on me and disowned me from my princess hood for poking my finger!)
The conclusion: The prince and the princess get married and live happily ever after… soon as they dust every thing off and clear out the weeds.
The End
Copywrite. Mine! No one can have it for their own. I is proud of my master piece!

Palm Trees
Palm Trees
1. Palms reach and grow up, not out.
Christians should reach up to God, not out to the world.
2. Palm leaves do not resist the wind, but let it pass through them.
Christians should not resist reviling, but should let it pass.
3. Palm trees are flexible. They bend and straighten.
Christians should be flexible, but not breakable.
4. Palm trees have many roots to hold them securely.
Christians should have a strong foundation.
5. Palm trees dig deep for water.
Christians should dig deep into the Word for more understanding.
6. Palm trees have strong armor.
Christians need the strong armor of God.
7. Palm trees survive the heat, but wither in the cold.
Christians need to endure the coldness of the world just as they endure the heat of tribulation.
8. Palm trees only produce fruit when they are mature.
Christians should be patient and wait for Gods timing.
9. The oldest palms produce the sweetest fruit.
The more trials Christians go through, the sweeter and better their fruits and rewards will be.
When things seem tough and every thing is going wrong, remember the palm tree and know that God is preparing something special for you!
Pain and trouble are with the package because of man’s sin.
God will always make it work out for good!

Fiery trials
Q. How do fiery trials test the bonds of our affections toward God and things?
A. If we are true, then the trials will help us make our bonds of affections stronger. The trials test to see of you will break.
Q. How do fiery trials separate impurities from our lives?
A. When we go through a trial, if we are true, we will see the impurities and, with God’s help, we will remove them.
Q. How do fiery trials distinguish what is true from false.
A. When we go through trials, we will be able to tell out things and people that are true and will stick with us and those that are false.
Q. How do fiery trials bond us to others who have gone through the fire?
A. We understand what the other has gone through.
Q. How do fiery trials produce transparency in our lives?
A. When we have gone through a trial with a teachable spirit, then we will be able to look into ourselves and see our faults. Also others will be able to see the love of Jesus in our hearts.
Q. How do fiery trials change our attitudes so that we can more easily reject impurities?
A. The more trials that we face and pass, the more we become like our Heavenly Father. So therefore it is easier to reject impurities.
Q. How do fiery trials help us to discern that which is durable from that which is perishable?
A. When we go through a fiery trial we will realize the things that are going to mean something (durable things) and things that aren’t going to mean anything (perishable things).

A. We understand what the other has gone through.
Q. How do fiery trials produce transparency in our lives?

Q. How do fiery trials change our attitudes so that we can more easily reject impurities?
A. The more trials that we face and pass, the more we become like our Heavenly Father. So therefore it is easier to reject impurities.
Q. How do fiery trials help us to discern that which is durable from that which is perishable?
A. When we go through a fiery trial we will realize the things that are going to mean something (durable things) and things that aren’t going to mean anything (perishable things).

How has every culture in the world been prepared for God’s message?
A long time ago an Ethiopian government official went in search of the true God. He went to Jerusalem. When he was leaving Jerusalem he was reading the fifty third chapter of Isaiah. Then a Jewish man came along and asked what he was reading. The Ethiopian eunuch showed him what he was reading and told him that he could not understand what it meant. This Jewish man, whose name was Philip, explained to the Ethiopian what Isaiah meant and told him about Jesus and the things which he did for mankind. The Ethiopian asked Jesus into his heart and asked Philip to baptize him. When the Ethiopian went back to his country he told many people and the Gospel spread quickly in Ethiopia.
In the 1920’s a missionary was rather surprised at how well a Bantu tribe in the Central African Republic welcomed the message of the Gospel. He was later told by the Bantu leaders that they had already been waiting for the missionary and his message. They said the Creator, Koro had sent word to their forefathers long ago that He had already sent his son into the world to accomplish something wonderful for all mankind. However, their forefathers later turned away from the truth of Koro’s son and, in time, forgot what it was that He had accomplish for all mankind.
“Since the time of “the forgetting,” successive generations of our people have longed to discover the truth about Koro’s Son. But all we could learn was that messengers would eventually come to restore that forgotten knowledge to us.”
The Gospel is also explained in the Chinese characters. The ideograph for righteousness has two parts: the upper symbol meaning “lamb,” and the lower symbol, meaning “I”. The message, then, is that “I, under the Lamb, am righteous.”
The ideograph for tree is a cross with the symbol for man superimposed on it.
The great Incan Emperor, Pachacuti, was a sun god worshiper for a while until he really started to watch the sun. He noticed that the sun always followed a set path, preformed certain definite tasks and kept set hours, as did a common laborer. With lost interest in the sun Pachacuti started to study the Incan traditions and histories. He read about Adam and Noah and others and at last discovered the Lord, whom his Incan ancestors had called “Viracocha,” and began to worship Him as the Creator of all things.
Also there is the creation itself to look at. If one was to really consider the creation, he would eventually be pointed to God. The stars also point to God. When one considers how massive space is, one can not help but to know that someone Great and Mighty made it all.
All things declare God’s Glory; all things point to Him.

Go rest Ye in Peace
Now go ye to rest in a land evergreen;
Where love abides and peace is king.
Go there and wait patiently for me.
The world was harsh and cruel unto thee;
Go now and rest eternally.
Go there and rest from life's hardships, toil and plights;
For I will come when time is right and hold thee in mine arms.
Go to sleep oh dearest ones;
Rest ye in peace in Dayspring's arms.
Go ye to rest in a land evergreen;
"Where love abides and peace is king.

Be Ye Warned
God cautions that the secret motives of mans heart will eventually asertain the durability of his name. If a person's secret mania is motivated by lust, greed and pride, then that person's thoughts and actions will ultimately be predisposed by them.
"I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings."
Jeremiah 17:10
On the other hand, if the secret motives of a person are to please the LORD and promote His Kingdom, then that person's name and reputation will be preserved even though he falters and falls sometimes.
"For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief." Proverbs 24:16
If a man has a secret desire to be rich, he will be attracted to intrigue and people that will ruin his life and demolish his name.
For this reason, God cautions those who have a secret desire to be rich will: "... fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts which drown men in destruction and perdition."
If a person's secret motives are to set his inclination on things above rather than on worldly things, he is able to undergo loss of temporaoy worldly things and will gather insight and spiritual gain.

Does This concern you?
“For all have sinned and have fallen short of the glory of God.” Romans 3:23
This verse means that everybody has sinned. Me, you, Gorge, everybody has sinned. We were born in sin and we’re born sinners. We all have broke God’s perfect and Holy (and totally fair) Law. Most of us agree that it is perfectly right and true. We should not murder, we should not steal, we should not lie in anyway, shape or form, we should not disobey or disrespect our elders and authorities, we shouldn’t cuss (especially not use His Name as a cuss word) ect.
Now we all know that we all have lied at some time in the past or said something that was not totally accurate. And a good portion of us have cussed. Everybody has sassed their parents at least once… Need I say more?
Do you know the consequence of sin? One word, Death. “For the wages of sin is death…” Romans 6:23. That is physical death and spiritual death. Pretty tough payment to make, huh? We can’t pay for our sin by doing good deeds, going to church, or living a good life. Sin places a wall between us and God, and there is nothing that we can do to get it out of the way. We can’t go over it, under it around it or “good deed” it down. We can’t do a thing.
Breaking God’s Law is a criminal offense, and under His totally fair Laws the penalty required is death.
God absolutely HATES sin, but really loves the sinner.
“But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” Romans 5:8
He really does NOT want us to die. He loved us soooo much that He sent His only Son to die in our place.
“For God so loved the World, that He gave His only begotten son; that whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:16
Jesus, God’s son, took all of our sin and shame upon Himself, so we would not have to take it all. He took all of our lies upon himself. He took all our cussing upon Himself. He took all our disrespect of our parents upon himself. He took and paid our death debt. But He rose again so that we could receive this gift given to us.
Our sin, our filthy rags, He took and put upon himself, so that we might be made clean. He made a way to tear down that wall of sin between us and God. There is no other way to the Father except through Jesus. All we have to do is except that He did this for us, ask His for-giveness, and allow Him to work in our lives. The death debt you still will owe, unless you ask His for giveness and allow Him into you’re heart.
Will you allow Jesus, the son of the most high God, into you’re life today? He loves you so much and He wants you to ask him in to you’re life.
Do you want to know how to ask Him?
You simply bow you’re head and with you’re heart, cry out to God for His mercy and forgiveness.
“Dear God. I humbly come before You asking for you’re forgiveness. I know that I have sinned and that I deserve to die, but You sent you’re son Jesus to die for me, so that I might live. Please forgive me of my sins. Jesus, come into my heart. I love you and need you in my life.
Thank you for coming to earth to die for my sins and thank you for coming into my life, dear Jesus.
Amen”
If you prayed that prayer with a whole heart and you really meant it, then you are new born Christian!
“Therefore if any man be in Christ he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold all things become new.” 2 Corinthians 5:17
Now this doesn’t mean that you won’t have troubles in the World, but you will have a peace of heart and mind.
“These things I have spoken unto you, that in Me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.”
John 16:33
It is wonderful that He has overcome the world and sin!
It is wonderful that you are going to live with Him forever!
You need to read His Word, the Bible, everyday to help you grow spiritually (Start with John or Romans). You also need to find a good church to help you grow and learn and fellowship with other Christians. God Bless!

My Story
Where I first publicly asked Jesus into my heart, was at a Heaven’s Gates and Hell’s Flames program. When they had the alter call, my mother asked me if I wanted to go up and ask Jesus into my heart. I said yes and we went up and I asked Jesus into my heart. I was only five at the time.
I was raised in a Christ centered home and was taught out of the Bible all of the time. I was also home schooled, which helped a lot also. My mother taught my sister and I out of Christ centered curriculums and Bible story books and the Bible itself.
I am NOT perfect. I am far from perfect. However I am learning all the time how to become more like my LORD every day. It isn’t easy, it’s rarely easy, but it’s worth it.
That first time that I went up to the alter hasn’t been the last time either. I have gone up to the alter for “fuel ups” and to pour my heart out to God and to encourage others to come up to the alter before God. It’s always good to go up, even if you are saved.
My parents have always taught me to keep my heart pure before God, to keep my heart clean for him. Nothing can be more important than Him. Not boyfriends, not games, not TV, not horses, not myself. I don’t date, that would be a waist of God’s time. I don’t have boyfriends; that would be giving my heart to someone else for a limited time and not to God full time. If God has a husband for me, He will bring us together. I don’t need to date a bunch of other guys to try and find the right one (Ruth didn’t date to get Boaz in the Bible); that could blow up in my face. God has a plan, He will supply for all my needs. Dating, boyfriends and a husband are not any of my needs at the present. Dating and boyfriends are for self pleasure, husbands are His Will.
My greatest desire is to teach other girls how to keep themselves pure for God; how to clean their hearts and spend their time for His Glory; to feast on His genuine love and affection rather than feast on the temporary affection of others. Boyfriends and such are not going to fill the longing and desire and loneliness in their hearts, only God can. That is my great desire and I feel part of my calling is to teach young girls about His Love. They may not feel like God is calling them to stop dating and such, but God has told me to tell them, as many as I can and all for His Glory.
I am now sixteen and I have not had a boyfriend or gone on a date with a young man ever and I intend to stay that way (God’s way for me) even if I become an old maid!
That is MY STORY (so far).

Concerning Viruses
(Cold or Flu Virus)
You’re walking along in Walmart one day, and the shopper in front of you sneezes. You walk by them, not thinking twice about it.
Well, that shopper happened to have the cold. When you walked by them, you inhaled a virus or two. The virus that you inhaled doesn’t think twice about it. It simply goes and attaches itself to the cell lining in you’re nose and sinuses. It goes up to a weak cell and knocks on the door. When that cell lets the Virus in, then the virus sheds its coat and asks the cell “Can you read me” The cell answers “Yes, I can read you.” Then the virus commands the cell “Reproduce me!” A virus can’t reproduce itself, you see. So, the virus is reproduced very quickly. It attacks other cells. The cell that took in the virus, breaks and the virus spreads into the bloodstream and into the lungs.
The lack of cells lining the sinuses, allows fluid into the nasal passage. Sniff, Sniffle, Sniff.
The virus in the nasal passage fluid, attacks the throat lining and causes a sore throat.
Another virus, in the bloodstream, attacks muscle cells and causes achy muscles. Ow, Ow, Ow!
Then, the White Blood cells come to the rescue and hopefully save the day! You then decide that you don’t like Walmart as much as you once had. However, you go back anyway, and we do it all over again!
By the way, it takes several days for all of this to happen.
