Hello :o)

I'm back!  Yep I'm finally writing again after what . . . two months.  Wow, that's a long time.  Anyway, I have to write and tell you about the SNOW.  Yes you heard me right, I said SNOW.  To be precise a BLIZZARD.  Now to all you who get a foot or two of snow every year this might not sound like a big deal, but to us here in North-East OK it is really big.  Ten inches of snow in one day, and something else that is even more unusual, it's going to stay well below freezing for several days.  Usually, when we get snow it melts with in a day or two, but this stuff is suppose to stay around for awhile.  Yaaaaa! 
So far I have only gone outside once due to the fact that I am currently fighting some cold symptoms.  :o(
But I'm believing and standing on the word, that I am healed by the strips of Jesus.

Wishing you all piles of snowy fun, and a vary blessed day

Urban legend

My mom told me about this little story, and I looked it up.  Now, from all I could find on the internet, the student was not Einstein.  But despite that, it's a good story.  I hope you all enjoy it.
 

The university professor challenged his students with this question. Did God create everything that exists?
A student bravely replied yes, he did!"
"God created everything?" The professor asked.
"Yes, sir," the student replied.

The professor answered, "If God created everything, then God created evil since evil exists, and according to the principal that our works define who we are then God is evil."
The student became quiet before such an answer.

The professor was quite pleased with himself and boasted to the students that he had proven once more that the Christian faith was a myth.

Another student raised his hand and said, "Can I ask you a question professor?" "Of course", replied the professor. The student stood up and asked, "Professor, does cold exist?"

"What kind of question is this? Of course it exists. Have you never been cold?" The students snickered at the young man's question.

The young man replied, "In fact sir, cold does not exist. According to the laws of physics, what we consider cold is in reality the absence of heat. Everybody and every object is susceptible to study when it has or transmits energy, and heat is what makes a body or matter have or transmit energy. Absolute zero (- 460 degrees F) is the total absence of heat; all matter becomes inert and incapable of reaction at that temperature. Cold does not exist. We have created this word to describe how we feel if we have too little heat.

The student continued. "Professor, does darkness exist?"

The professor responded, "Of course it does".

The student replied, "Once again you are wrong sir, darkness does not exist either. Darkness is in reality the absence of light. Light we can study, but not darkness. In fact we can use Newton's prism to break white light into many colors and study the various wavelengths of each color. You cannot measure darkness. A simple ray of light can break into a world of darkness and illuminate it. How can you know how dark a certain space is? You measure the amount of light present. Isn't this correct? Darkness is a term used by man to describe what happens when there is no light present."

Finally the young man asked the professor. "Sir, does evil exist?"

Now uncertain, the professor responded, "Of course as I have already said. We see it every day. It is in the daily example of man's inhumanity to man. It is in the multitude of crime and violence everywhere in the world. "These manifestations are nothing else but evil."

To this the student replied, "Evil does not exist sir, or at least it does not exist unto itself. Evil is simply the absence of God. It is just like darkness and cold, a word that man has created to describe the absence of God. God did not create evil. Evil is not like faith, or love, that exist just as does light and heat. Evil is the result of what happens when man does not have God's love present in his heart. It's like the cold that comes when there is no heat or the darkness that comes when there is no light."

The professor sat down.

The young mans name --- Albert Einstein

I'm Still Here

Hello all : )

Sorry I haven't written in awhile.  :(  But, do not fear, I have a good excuse.  As you all probably know, I am doing NaNoWriMo and it has been taking up a lot of my free time.  Add to that I still have the never ending supply of school work.  Oh, and choir, and random birthdays that keep sneaking up on me.  Not to mention the fact that our dishwasher has broken down, and we are washing all the dishes by hand, with no immediate sign of relief.  (groans under the tremendous weight)
Ok, so things are not that bad.  All those things are true, but I am actually doing pretty well on my "quota", as I call it.  Of course one must take into account, that I have been getting up at five o'clock in the morning for the last few weeks.  For all those that are inturested here is my average daily schedule, (I say average because being a home shooler my personal schedule is subject to change) ;P

5:00 AM - fall out of bed, stumble around till I find the bathroom, so I can get ready for the day
5:30 AM - creep out to the kitchen trying not to wake anybody up, to get started on my school work.  Recently I have been restarting the fire in the fireplace to.
6:15(ish) AM - Momma gets up, marking the end of my quite mourning
7:00 AM - Mommy wakes up my oldest sister, because she has to go to bible collage in the mornings.  This marks the "general awakening", where miscellaneous family members start getting up
7:30 AM - finish my school work, and some times get on the computer, also I useally have breakfast around this time
7:50 AM - my older sister is heading off to school
8:00 AM - I go out to the barn to take care of the animals,
8:30 AM - I start writing, 

( now here it starts getting unpredictable, the only thing I can say foreshore is that I will be carrying my notebook around all day, writing when ever I get a chance.  Only once have I failed to reach my "quota", and the next day I wrote a page extra.)

8:00 PM - I start thinking of bed time, and rapping up what ever I'm doing, (probably writing)
8:30 PM - I get ready for bed
9:00 PM - this is suppose to be the time I'm go to bed, but usually I don't make it
10:30 to 10:45 PM - this is the time I usually go to bed, this is also the time I have set time aside to talk to God,
11:00 PM - I am probably asleep, (or wishing I was)


So that is pretty much how my day goes.  There is of course the fact that all the time between 8:30 in the morning and 8:00 at night is missing.  But that is the time of the day that I have vary little control over, and it is constantly changing.


Well my time is almost up so I'll have to say good-by for now
Have a blessed day

Fallen Not Forgotten

My dad was on the computer last night listening to his favorite songs, and finding some new ones. Me and my older sister were making suggestions, and enjoy all the good music. We came across this one, that we all really liked, and I thought I'd share it with you.  It's by Ray Boltz.

(the video stopped working)

Hope you enjoyed it,
Have a blessed day,

P.S.  I'm thinking of changing my name, any suggestions?

NaNoWriMo

It's almost here, the write a novel in a month challenge.  I'm a little surprised at myself for not being all excited and worked up.  I guess I haven't quite realized yet that I'll be trying to write 50,000 words in a month.  That's 1,666 words a day, ruffly 5 typed pages a day.  And I don't usually type my stores out on the computer, I write them down the old-fashion way.  So, I'll write down 50,000 words, then turn around and copy it out laboriously on to the computer.  Oh joy.  (wry smile)  Can you tell?  I'm really excited about this. (sleepy yawn) ; P  I have to sign off now.  Pleases drop a note about how you're handling all this stress. : p

I hope you all have a blessed day

Sunday Mourning Sunrise

Hello all you out there!

I got up early this morning, in time to see a really pretty sunrise.  Here are some of the pictures I got.

Beautiful!  Beautiful!

 

Have a good day and God bless

Fish!

I went fishing in my dad's pond for a hour today, and caught . . . drum-roll please . . thank you . . . and I caught . . eleven fat fish.  Yaaa!  Usually I'm not this crazy about fishing, in fact until last Saturday I hadn't caught a single solitary little minnow.  (Except gold fish, but they don't count) ;)
I have to go now.
Have a blessed day
