Greetings!

Well, I guess I haven't been keeping up with my blog as I had hoped.  But in my defense I was busy with craziness. ANYWAY! I do have a book for you guys even if it's not Sunday! yaaay!

A lot of people know Eric as the Scottish athlete who won gold in the  Paris Olympics 1924.  But not many people know about his mission life In China after that.  He was an honest, hard working, strong Christian man.  He gave much more than he had expected to receive and never tried to put the spotlight on himself even with all the fame his athletic talent gave him.  reading about Eric makes you reflect on your own life and think about how you have been or how you can use your talents to honor God before anything else.

Life under Contruction

Kids my age are always going through things and having troubles.  Some of the many reason are because of absent parents, bad crowds, influences at school, celebrities ect. And many times over I've seen misunderstandings between child and parents, which doesn't help the situation.   You are probably wondering where I'm going with this, but it's something that's been swimming around in my mind for some time now.  As I watch teens rebel against their parents and parents getting frustrated and taking it out on the kids that are causing it, I wonder what the story is on both sides.  On one side, the teen could be going through something and feels like they can't tell the parent.  And on the other side the parent might be begging on the inside for the teen to open up to them but doesn't know how to show that.  I'm not trying to be an expert, but it's something I see all the time.  Rebelling kids is the message that is sent out in pretty much everything we watch, read, and listen to.  Being a kid myself I can't give advice because I myself am VERY inexperienced in MANY things, but I know that I can admit that to anyone and everyone.  A lot of kids my age won't do that, I've had friends tell me that they can't wait to move out of the house and be on their own and it breaks my heart to hear them say that. "Freedom" is what they want, but they don't realize just how much they need their parent's love and advice because they're too stubborn to admit that they can't do everything on their own.  Which leads to rebellion and leaves parents scratching their heads in frustration.  Again, this is just something that has been swimming around in my noggin and I wanted to try and bring the situation to light the best way I could.  But, as we live we see that our life is under construction in some way or another and God is the construction worker making His masterpiece, and this was just to help some realize it and to help them get back on their feet.   Just like it says in the book of Jeremiah 29:11:


"For I know the plans I have for you," says the Lord. "They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope." Jeremiah 29:11

To some this may just seem like another "religious freak's" blog who's trying to get you to go to church or something.  But I hope that, to at least one person, this blog and this entry helps in some way or another.

Book of The Week!

That's right, it's back!  The book of the week is going to be popping up every Sunday.  This book is a great one to have teenaged daughters read, it shows the struggles of the modern lure of independence in a feminist world for young women.  As you read about Margret Paget's life struggles and joyful moments the book give an over all warm feeling.

I Did It For You

My soul cries for You
As I watch in horror
The disaster that falls upon
You, the world has seen
What can happen,yet
It does not acknowledge.

How could You
Carry the weight alone?
I watch has You struggle to
Stand back up.
My tears stain the dirt
As You hit the ground
Multiple times.
I watch as You,
And you alone,
Bear my evil.


My vision blurs as I hold
The hammer in the air,
And thrust it down.
How could I betray You
Like I have?
I watch as you cry out
To the Lord.

You look down on me with
Loving eyes, and cry

"It is finished!"

Thousand Paper Cranes (千羽鶴, Senbadsuru)

I am making one thousand paper cranes in awareness for Japan with Bible verses on the wings. Ten down, nine hundred and ninety more to go.

Saranghae (love)

 Love is like a never ending river
Flowing through the hearts and
Minds of each human being.
Of where does it come from?
It reaches out from the deepest
Part of the soul and swims
Outward to shine it's light.
Even the cruelest of people have
A love for something and
Can never hide it.
