Funny things

I was just on facebook and one of my friends put up a you tube clip about how grammar in America is not very good any more, and it reminded me of a conversation I had on Sunday night. One of my friends (he goes to public school) was talking to a foreign exchange student from China and he was saying he could go teach English. At this point Aaron interjected into the conversation and said, "Public schoolers don't teach people; they learn people." The funy thing is that Ben didn't get it. We all had a good laugh at his expense.

Disclaimer: I have nothing against people who go to public school, they just 'ain't got no good grammar' :)

The snow fort

And a cute helper.

Winter fun

Oh, what fun it is to play in a winter wonderland. Especially when you don't have to play in the snow. I'll have to take a picture of a fort Emily and I made. So far it has kept out the snow on the finished sides.

Falling. The leaves are falling.
Reminding me of the tears on my face.

Wilting. The flowers are wilting.
As sometimes I wilt when I think of hard times to come.

Leaving. The birds are all leaving.
Just I am left to think of what I've lost.

Needed. Gone are the things I thought I needed.
And I find I have all I need.

Never. Jesus will never leave me.
Though things get hard He is always with me.

Forever. He has promised me forever.
I will have Him for all eternity.

Growing. Through Jesus I am growing.
Being molded into who He wants me to be.

Always. I have always.
Always I can care. Always I can share.

Jesus. He fills my empty spaces.
It's Him I love, for Him I live. It's Jesus.

Some fun Pictures

Well, now I've done it

Two years ago I posted frequently, and when I read blogs of people who didn't post often I thought that they needed to hurry up and post something fun so I could read about it. Now I'm those other people, posting only occasionally. So, here is a picture of a sombrero Jason made.

Bible Bee

Well, for me this year's Bible Bee is over. On Friday we went down to the cities and Saturday was was the local competition day. For the written test I got almost three-quarters of the questions correct, and in the oral round I knew almost one-third of the passages I was asked to recite. Considering I had memorized less then one-quarter of the verses I got lucky in the ones they asked for. I did not place in the local Bee, but last night we found out it was only by sixteen points. If I did the math correctly I am in the top third for my age group across the nation. Two people I know get to go to nationals! Congratulations!
