Tweet Untitled Have you ever stood back and looked around at all the holiday bustle and business December brings? Have you ever looked beyond the anticipation of Christmas day to the bigger meaning of December? In just a few weeks the greatest birth that ever took place is going to be celebrated! Just think, if Christmas had never happened, we would be wretched sinners headed for hell with no hope of heaven. But our merciful, loving God decided to rescue us in our sad, desperate state and sent His only son to die for us. How would you like it if tomorrow your dad told you, Son (or daughter), your…

Two hour delays..why?
Tweet Two hour delays..why? There are certain occasions that call for a blog and this morning was one. I stayed up till around midnight last night working on homework. I then was supposed to get up and be at school at 7:15 to tutor, which meant I had to get up around 5:30. My dad came in to wake me up, and told me there was snow all over the ground. My first thought was two-hour delay yes!! But then I quickly remembered our school never has two-hour delays..why should today be different? Even when it was like -20 degrees outside and every other school in the state had a…

Ice Skating
Tweet Ice Skating I’m back..last night some people from my youth group and some people from Rossiville went ice skating. I had so much fun! I can’t remember the last time I blew my list of stuff I needed to do and went to hang out with people. I made some new friends and had fun with my old ones. I have decided I’m a really stinky skater..although I never fell and figured out how to turn in a circle! I was proud! but again..homework!

It’s official..
Tweet It’s official.. I’m addicted..here I sit writing away in my blog while my trig needs done, my micro report needs written, and my body needs sleeping. Mr.Harmless I have to thank and myself to blame for not focusing. But oh well..at least I’m only addicted to blogging and not to something that’s actually harmful. And since very few others keep up with their blogging, I must provide something new to read for those few that read my blog. so since I’ve posted 3 times today and I really do have much homework and have already make a fool of myself once tonight-I’m going to go. I’m out.. Amanda

How I show I’m thankful..(English)
Tweet How I show I’m thankful..(English) Mrs. Wiebe had as our blog topic for the week how do you show your thankful. It really got me thinking, do I show that I’m thankful. I mean, yeah at this time of year I can list off the many things I’m thankful for..the common expected answers-school, church, family, friends..but do I actually show I am thankful. And how could I show that. I kept thinking about that, and some convicting thoughts came across my mind. Do I show my teachers I am thankful for them when I keep talking in class after being told not to, or when I don’t turn in…

CHRISTMAS
Tweet CHRISTMAS Someone e-mailed this to me, and I figured since the holidays are here it was a good reminder!! Don’t forget the reason for all the excitement at this time of year! Happy Holidays!! Who started Christmas? This morning I heard a story on the radio of a woman who was out Christmas shopping with her two children; after many hours of looking at row after row of toys and everything else imaginable, and after hours of hearing both her children asking for everything they saw on those many shelves, she finally made it to the elevator with her two kids. She was feeling what so many of us…

I Love Being Alone
Tweet I Love Being Alone.. I realized that tonight as I headed off to the mall for some shopping. I got paid on Friday and for once had some money, which I should be saving for Christmas but oh well. I went alone, and didn’t really have any desire to call someone to go with me. Plus I couldn’t think of anyone to call. I just walked around the mall, going where I wanted and looking at what I wanted. My mom eventually showed up, but I really enjoyed just shopping alone. I normally like to do stuff alone..I think it’s one of those things I have acquired after many…

If I Could Go Anywhere in the World(English Extra Credit)
Tweet If I Could Go Anywhere in the World(English Extra Credit) Well, right now I’d just be happy to go anywhere, but my dream has always been to go to the Congo. It’s in Africa, and our church supports missionaries there. The Curtis’ have a special place in my heart because they first invited my parents to attend Faith. And part of the reason I am where I am is because of them! But I’ve always been fascinated with the Congo. Maybe it’s because it’s one of those places that Americans are not usually well-liked, or because I see how bad those people need the gospel. Or maybe it’s just…
