The Thunder Clouds are Looming on the horizon

Yes, there are thunder clouds coming up on us.  With lightning flashes of inspiration, and the rumbling of the fast approaching deadline.  It's National Novel Writing Month!!!!  YAAAA!!  I have been looking forward to this sense mid September, and now it's all most here!  (dose a giggling, dance across the kitchen) Here I am thinking of all the lovely memories from last November.  The mountains of wonderful writing ideas.  A good excuse to slake of the school work.  The simple joy of curling up in front of the fire place to write a novel.  Ahh, (contented sigh).
But then my mind kicks in . . . Ya, remember the panicked scribbling of the pen, the long hours, not getting enough sleep.  Remember how you were always falling asleep anywhere and everywhere because you got up at 4:00 in morning.  And how in the end you didn't finish because you hand wrote the novel and couldn't get it onto the computer in time.
Ya, ya I remember, but this time is going to be different, (emphatic nod).  This time I have a laptop which I will write on instead of a notebook, and so eliminating the possibility of that last bad memory taking place again.  Also this time I am carefully scheduling my time so I always get a full nights sleep, and won't be pacing out in the middle of church. 
When all is said I'm really, really excited about November, and I think I'm ready.  My little sister is doing it this year to, that should make this year even better then last.  So, what are your thoughts on the coming November?  Is anyone else going to be doing it this year?  And if so are you excited about it?

My sister showed me this short movie, and it really surprised me the answers that some people gave.  I'm a World War II buff, and the fact that some people do not even know who Adolf Hitler was just blows me away.  It's a really interesting movie, and I recommend that you watch it.

YAAAA!!!!

I just had to post and tell you all that I just get my first laptop.  AAAAHHHH!! 
It is sooo cool.  I can hardly believe it, even though I'm sitting in my bed right now typing on it.
Last spring I asked Mamma if I could buy a laptop, and I was shocked when she actually said yes.  So I started saving up.  Daddy gave me a part time job cleaning houses over the summer and much to the whole family's surprise I was able to buy my laptop last week.  It is my fist computer ever, and I really really love it. :oD Sadly, I do not have a picture of it that I could you all, but maybe that will come later.
Wishing you all as happy as I am right now

Enthusiastic and Vary Thankful

You could call me enthusiastic about the lessons I am now taking.  Sense I am eager and anxious to have them every day (except Sundays), and will brave the 105 degree weather for at lest an hour each time I go.  Besides that, this is something I have wanted to do for years, and never really thought I would.  Now you are probably wondering what I am talking about, so I'll tell you.  I am now taking Martial Arts lessons.  Specifically, Taekwondo.  

As I have said I always wanted to do this, but never saw any possibility of that happening.  A few months ago though, it suddenly struck me, why don't I ask God for martial arts lessons?  It was only month later that my sister mentioned that she had a class mate at Bible School who taught a Taekwondo class.  Two weeks later me and my youngest sister joined, and we have both really enjoyed it.  Right now we just white belts, but hopefully by early August we should be graduating to yellow belts. 

I should be going now, I think my sisters making cookies (yummm!!).  
Have a wonderful day, and God bless.

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.

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
Morgan J
