For the beauty of the earth

For the glory of the skies

For the love which from our birth ,Over and around us lies.

Lord of all to thee we raise this our hymn of grateful praise.

(and more to come.)

Thanksgiving reminders

Hey guys!
Since it's getting to the busy time of the year. I just thought I'd share something about Thanksgiving that I thought might intrest ya'll.
According to the Random house dictionary the meaning of Thankfulness and contentment is this.
Thankful- feeling or expressing graditude or appreciation.
Content- satisfied with what a person is or has; not wanting more or anything else.
Here are some verses that you can use to remind yourself on to be thankful on Thanksgiving. ;)

Philippians 4:11
"Not that I speak in respect for want: for I have learned in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content." We should accept whatever God has planned for your life.

1. Thessalonians 5:18
"In everything give thanks: this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you." We should expressing to God and others the ways they have shown kindness to you.

Some other verses you can look up on your own are
Psalm 100:4
Amos 4:5
1 Timothy 4:3,4

These are all great verses for Thanksgiving.
Remember, It's God's will that we be thankful. He wants us to be content and show graditude!!!
Don't lose focus this Thanksgiving!! :)

My many hobbies. (it runs in the blood)

You know guys, sometimes I want to do to much all at one time. Does anyone else have this problem? I mean, I go through phases where I am really into this, or that, or that over there. Then after a week or so it either gets old, or I find something new to occupy me. Well, the other day I found out where I get this "attraction thing" from. Daddy!! It all comes from daddy. He has the same problem. Except his interests deal more with manly stuff. Whereas mine of course are girlish matters! :)

Presidential requests

Sorry, I know I already blogged once tonight, but I'm curious about something. I really want to know what everyone thinks of our 44 president. Do not be rude, but please share your thoughts with me, leave a comment!
Why do or don't you like him? How will our country turn out?

The relaxed night I ruined

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!!! One thing is for sure, I'm sorry for not blogging very much. You see this time I have an excuse other than school. It all happened because of our spam protection program is ssoooo not letting me sign into my blog! Only dear mother knows the password, so I had to find a time when she wasn't busy (rarely) to ask her to turn the spam guard off. Finely, tonight she sat down and seemed rather relaxed. I immediately jumped on the opportunity to get the thing turned OFF.
Well, at least that's kind of the way it happened, anyone who knows me personally knows I tend to exaggerate on certain issues (no comment) I think it runs in the blood.......................

My School Schedule

I'm sorry I've not blogged in about a week or two. Seriously though, I have a lot of school work that keeps me busy, I also have a brother who keeps me on my toes!
Just to give you a piece of how busy I am, I'll tell you some of my school subjects I have to do.
First there's Literature, (with the book I'm reading now, I read about six short chapters a day.)Then logic, math, geography, Latin, and science. Each of these subjects together takes me 5 to 6 hours a day. This may not sound like to much, but trust me, it is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
