BATMAN DAY!!!!

EXCITING NEWS!!!!

I am so emotional and excited today!!! I finally got baptized! 

I have been waiting to do this for a while now but, it seems, every time I go to do it, we move churches. Huh, strange. 

For those of you unfamiliar, baptism is a public proclamation of your faith. Usually of a God-fearing faith.

I have decided to take the next step in my relationship with Christ! I pray you all take the next step in your faith with Him. Go out of your comfort zone! Be who He made you to be!

2 Corinthians 5:17

"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new." 

Root Canal

When your teeth hurt and your mom says, "Oh it's just because you have to make a decision." 

Personally, I don't think everything that physically hurts is related psychologically. I went to the dentist yesterday because one of my teeth hurt like crazy and got an X-ray and BOOM. The nerve in my tooth had died. I had an emergency root canal. 

I have a huge phobia of needles and my mouth is still in a ton of pain because I am allergic to most needles. 

Christmas Play

Hello All!!!

It seems like ages since my last post but here goes. So, about three weeks ago I auditioned for this play. Last week I got a callback!!! I am going to play one of the main characters, I am Emma Richmond in the play Four Tickets to Christmas. 

For a little background about this play, it is this captivating story is set in 1905. When a touring musical family of four finds no place to go for Christmas, they return to their grandparents' farm in northern Ohio. there, they are forced to deal with longstanding conflicts. In the process, they learn the importance of following God's unique direction for their lives. In the process, the director of plays, aka Henry, is asked to be the director of a play in the grandparents' hometown. Some of Henry's not so friends join him in Ohio because of the weather and train conditions. In this play, new songs and familiar carols are woven together with a turn-of-the-century flavor appropriate for the new era.

Hope to be able to give frequent updates!!

Finally back

Hello to everyone!

I am back from a long spring and summer. School is starting up again and I am glad of it! School means business, which I thoroughly enjoy. This year consists of College, Online schooling, my senior year and teaching math. I am going to be so busy this year! Hoping to be writing soon! 

I'm back!

Hello everyone!! 
It would seem that I am back for a short bit. I have been away on holiday and school started last Tuesday. On that subject, I started college last week! Hip Hip Hooray for growing up! I am taking 5 courses, four of them are online. Public Speaking, Math, English 101, and Online Success. First Aid is an on campus class that is nine hours long on one day, a Saturday at that! Oh well. Hooray for success in school. 

Sad, Sad News

I have some sad news for everyone. I just heard that Carrie Fisher died today. I hope you all feel the loss like I do.

They are one and the same and it is very sad to know that she will not be in the next Star Wars.

Only a few days away.....

Christmas is only a few days away! Goodness this year has gone by so fast! Well, I thought I would share some of my favorite Christmas songs. Here they are: 

Breath of Heaven (Mary's song) -Amy Grant

Strange way to save the world- 4HIM

Mr. Grinch- Thurl Ravenscroft

Carol of the Bells

Hallelujah- Pentatonix

Danny Boy -Pentatonix 

I love all of these and pretty much all of the old Christmas songs. 

Paul Bunyan-Silverstein

Paul Bunyan

He rode through the woods on a big blue ox,

He had fists as hard as choppin' blocks,

Five hundred pounds and nine feet tall . . . that's Paul.

Talk about workin', when he swung his ax

You could hear it ring for a mile and a half.

Then he'd yell "Timber!" and down she'd fall . . . for Paul.

Talk about drinkin', that man's so mean

That he'd never drink nothin' but kerosene,

And a five-gallon can is a little bit small . . . for Paul.

Talk about tough, well he once had a fight

With a thunderstorm on a cold dark night.

I ain't sayin' who won,

But it don't storm at all . . . 'round here . . . thanks to Paul.

He was ninety years old when he said with a sigh,

"I think I'm gonna lay right down and die

'Cause sunshine and sorrow, I've seen it all" . . . says Paul.

So he died . . . and we cried.

It took eighteen men just to bust the ground,

It took twenty-four more just to lower him down.

And we covered him up and we figured that was all . . . for Paul.

But late one night the trees started shakin',

The dogs started howlin' and the earth started quakin',

And out of the ground with a "Hi, ya'll" . . . come Paul!

He shook the dirt from off of his clothes,

He scratched his butt and he wiped his nose.

"Y'know, bein' dead wasn't no fun at all" . . . says Paul.

So he jumps on his ox with a fare-thee-well,

He says, "I'll find out if they's trees in hell."

And he rode away, and that was all . . . we ever seen . . . of Paul.

But the next time you hear a "Timber!" yell

That sound like it's comin' from the pits of hell,

Then a weird and devilish ghostly wail

Like somebody choppin' on the devil's tail,

Then a shout, a call, a crash, a fall--

That ain't no mortal man at all . . . that's Paul!

This poem is one of my favorites by Silverstein. I hope you enjoy it!

Jane

There once was a girl named Jane,

Whose father went insane, 

And when she came home,

She was never alone, 

Especially when it rained. 

If it happened to rain,

Her father would loudly say,

"Why are you at home?

Why are you alone?

Go find your friends and play!"

But good little Jane,

Every time would say, 

"Father I'm home, 

I am not alone. 

I'm here with you to stay."

When devoted Jane,

Came home one day,

She found he went home,

now she was alone,

'Cause Jesus took him away.
