Somewhere in Time

This movie is horrible!!! Usually I'm not apt to dislike movies but this was horrendous! The main character Richard Collier(Christopher Reeve) was creepy!! At the very beginning of this movie an elderly women hands him a watch and begs him to come back to her. Later that day she dies. When he is on vacation in the Grand Hotel he enters the history room where a picture of a lady hangs. He becomes obsessed with this picture causing him not able to get to sleep and go a little crazy. Finally he is determined to make it to the year 1912. The only way to get there is to get there in your mind, making him hide everything that is from the present. Over and over again he starts chanting to himself that he is in the year 1912. All of these so...interesting...parts in the movie take over 40 min. Remember that he is creepily obsessed. When Elise McKenna(Jane Seymour) and Richard are finally able to be together she falls in love with him within three hours of them knowing each other. All this takes place very quickly and sadly. After some semi-dramatic parts happen they are reunited and .... It's a bad part. The next day they are talking, some of the things were actually funny, when he takes out a penny that is from the present and is ripped from the past into the present, leaving his watch. In the end he dies of heart-break. This entire movie was depressing, weird, creepy, and not at all romantic. Another thing is that they did take Jesus's name in vain. My advise to you is to not watch it!

Oh December! How I'll miss you!

This December was amazing, spent with friends and family! Christmas is over. :( It came just as fast as it left. How was your Christmas? On Christmas Eve we decided to let my brother open his presents, that are: Xbox360, remote, Halo ODST(my gift to him), and other things. Actually I'm not too bad on Halo. :) My mom kept begging me to open my presents early but I was obstinate. Isn't it usually the other way around? lol I got a hat, a huge bag, earings, a photo printer, and some other things. I've been doing some scrap booking with my mom. :D Wonderfully this month has been filled with going to the movie theater!!! Awhile ago our home school group went to the movies to see Chronicles of Narna: Voyage of the Dawn Treader, which I still need to do a review on, and before that I went with my family to watch it. GO SEE IT! Anyway... lol Also for my friends birthday party she took a couple friends, including me, to go see Tangled! I love that movie so much that I want to buy it! As you can already see this is just a little update on this past month. :) Btw don't you hate it when you pick up your pet and he/she is wet?! :P

Learning from God - 9 - Coming in Prayer

Sorry this is coming a day late. :( This past Sunday I was convicted about what we come to God for. Do we come to God because He is God, or do we come to make our petition known? I have to say that I do the latter. This disturbs my soul. God is omnipotent, omniscient, loving, merciful, and creator of all things, yet one of the main things I come to Him for are requests. Requests after request. Why don't we come to Him in prayer to worship Him and thank Him for all things? I feel so blessed every time I think of the mercy's that He has bestowed upon me. Not only do I need to work on coming before the Lord with a thankful heart but also coming before Him and showing reverence because of the knowledge of who He is. God is your friend that does care about your petitions, but remember that He is God.

Learning from God - 8 - Have No Fear

I just remembered that I was supposed to do this today. lol :P Fortunately while I was reading my Bible I felt like I should write about courage and not having fear. Recently I witnessed to a guy at my work, who is buddhist, and although I didn't bring him to the Lord I was still, perhaps, able to plant a seed. Most people don't witness because they are afraid to. What can man do to you that the Lord does not permit? Nothing. Yes it is scary at times, and yes it takes practice. When the Lord has put it on your heart to witness, and yet you are afraid, just think about that persons soul. Care enough to say something. They will go to hell without the Lord! This world needs it! I believe us Christians take it for granted the gift we have been given. A lot of people celebrate Christmas, not everyone knows its meaning.

Psalm 27:1-3
The LORD my light and my salvation. Whom shall I fear? The LORD the strength of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid? When the wicked came against me to eat up my flesh, my enemies and foes, they stumbled and fell. Though an army may encamp against me, my heart shall not fear; though this war may rise against me, in this I confident.

Psalm 56:3-4
Whenever I am afraid, I will trust in You. In God(I will praise His word), in God I have put my trust; I will not fear. What flesh do to me?

Isaiah 41:10
Fear not for I with you; Be not dismayed, for I your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.

Isaiah 41:13
For I, the LORD your God, will hold your right hand, Saying to you, ‘Fear not, I will help you.’

Matthew 10:26
Therefore do not fear them. For there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, and hidden that will not be known.

Matthew 10:28
And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

"The Scarlet Pimpernel"

This book was recommended to be by a friend! I was told that this book was a lot like The Count of Monte Cristo, but I find them very different! The similarities are that both books are adventurous, suspenseful, romantic, and you literally can't put the book down, everything to recommend a book for! :D Written by Baroness Orczy, The Scarlet Pimpernel takes place during the French Revolution.

-A surging, seething, murmuring crowd of beings that are human only in name, for to they eye and ear they seem nought but savage creatures, animated by vile passions and by the lust of vengeance and of hate.-

Doesn't that first sentence just foretell a great story?! The main characters are Marguerite and Percy Blakeney, a married couple. Nearly from the very beginning you will read the mysteries surrounding the mysterious Scarlet Pimpernel, who is a man that against all odds saves people from sure death. From vile hate and revenge Chauvelin gives Marguerite the "either-or" choice, that involves her beloved brother Armand and the Scarlet Pimpernel. Giving way she enables him to learn vital information. The reason Chauvelin has this revenge is because he wants to see every aristocrat guillotined, while the Scarlet Pimpernel saves their lives. Desperately she goes to France in hope that she will have time to warn the Scarlet Pimpernel. Because everything ties in with something during this book this is all that I will be able to tell you without spoiling it. Here is something that I do need to tell you before I am done with this review: The Scarlet Pimpernel has quite a bit of cursing in it. Other than this it has nothing else to un-recommend it.

Btw someone help me! I don't know what movie of this book I should watch! If you have seen any of the movies please comment and tell me whether it was good or not. Thanks

One more thing to add is that I was freezing while my brother took the pictures! :P What I do for pictures. lol

Learning from God - 7 - Friends

Since yesterday was my friend Danielle's birthday and yesterday I was supposed to write a learning from God I thought I would do one on friendship! Sry this is coming a day late I was busy yesterday. Anyway I have been blessed with a wonderful friend and am thankful to God for sending her to me! :D Here are some verses on friendship! Never take friends lightly. :)

Ecclesiastes 4:9-10

Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor. For if they fall, one will lift up his companion. But woe to him alone when he falls, for no one to help him up.

Proverbs 27:17

"Iron sharpens iron, so a man sharpens the countenance of his friend."

Proverbs 27: 9
"Ointment and perfume delight the heart; and the sweetness of a man's friend by hearty counsel."

The Last of the Mohicans

Since several people told me that my post Miracle on 34th Street didn't make much sense I will try to do considerably better on this one. :) I wasn't even planning on doing this review, that just tells you how much reviews I'll be doing this month. ;)

 

To start this out I have to say that people under the age of 15 shouldn't watch it. This movie is rated R for violence. There is some cursing in it, I actually didn't even hear but one, but there is more in it. Also the main male and female character have this one part where they kiss way too much. We fast-forwarded it. Other than that this is a wonderful movie! I absolutely love it! The filming and acting was superb! My brother thinks the music was anti-climatic though. lol Although the first 20 minutes were hard to understand. These two sisters are trying to get to their father's fort when they are attacked by Indians and are betrayed by their guide. Eighteen English officers die. Suddenly when they are also about to be slaughtered three other Indians come to their rescue. Nathaniel is the main one, which I'm not for sure if he is even Indian... Anyway they make it to their father's fort that is being sieged by the French. I forgot to tell you that this takes place during the French and Indian war. Later on when they had surrendered and the entire army was walking through the forest they were one again attacked by Indians. One thing I'm going to help you understand, which my mother had to tell me, is that the two daughters and their father have an Indian chasing them for revenge. He wants revenge because he was taken captive by their father and was made a slave. When he finally was no longer under him he went home to his wife, whom she thought was dead, was remarried. Once the vengeance seeking Indian had killed their father, which was quite gory, he goes after them. All through this Nathaniel and Cora, one of the daughters, have been in love. I'm not going to tell you anymore because I don't want to ruin the surprise. I hate the ending though! It's horrible! If you do happen to watch the movie please comment and tell me what you thought of the end!

 

Btw Watch/Read means that you either want to watch/read it, depending on the circumstance. Please comment and tell me if this review made sense. lol I think my problem with the last one was that I was going fast while writing it.

Miracle on 34th Street

Before I start this review I have to warn you that this month will be FULL with blog posts! Including reviews! I love December...! Another great Christmas movie is Christmas with the Kranks. It is hilarious! More for 10 and up though.

Miracle on 34th Street is a wonderful and sweet Christmas movie. If you want something to watch with your family this is the movie! This film starts out where neither Susan Walker nor her mother believe in Santa Claus. Kris Kringle wants Susan to believe, which makes him ask her what she wants for Christmas. Susan replies that she wants a home, little brother, and a dad. This is a lot to pull off. ;) When Mr. Kringle is arrested because he lost his temper on a man, whom he hit on the head with a cane, it brings everyone together to stop him from being thrown into an asylum. All of New York City is pulling for him. The only thing, in Miracle on 34th street, that I believe they shouldn't have put in the same category was God and Santa. Although it wasn't too bad. This movie is really good, making you kind of wanting your kids to believe in Santa. I have never believed in Santa. Actually I kept trying to convince my mom that Santa was real but once I snuck out of my room and saw her wrapping presents I no longer did. I won't let my kids, if I ever have kids, believe in Santa either. Great Christmas movie and I hope you are able to see it this December. :D Have a wonderful Christmas!

Learning from God - 6 - Encouragement

Recently I was thinking of a verse I had read in the Bible that said stuff about building up your brother in the faith. To encourage each other. This made me want to dedicate this post to scripture about building each other up.

"but exhort one another daily, while it is called “Today,” lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin." -Hebrews 3:13

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here are some encouraging verses.

"Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them; for the Lord your God, He the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you." - Deuteronomy 31:6

"And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap a harvest if we do not lose heart." – Galatians 6:9

"But You, O LORD, a shield for me, My glory and the One who lifts up my head. I cried to the LORD with my voice, And He heard me from His holy hill. I lay down and slept; I awoke, for the LORD sustained me. I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people. Who have set against me all around." -Psalm 3:3-6

"In the multitude of my anxieties within me,Your comforts delight my soul." -Psalm 94:19

"Persuasion"

Jane Austen is the author of this marvelous book. Although I'm not sure if it is my favorite or not out of the ones I have read. Persuasion is decidedly different from Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility, in respects to this mushy love story all throughout it. I'm not saying that there isn't a love story in this book but it is a lot less passionate. lol The main character is Anne Elliot, who tries to stay as composed as possible and is extremely constant to her feelings. Through the first 80 or so pages I was not entertained. It was not too boring, just not interesting. After that point in the book it is tremendously better! Before I go further on in the post I would like to tell you what this book is about. Here is a summery: Anne Elliot and Frederick Wentworth were engaged to be married and were deeply in love with one another. Although at the advice of Lady Russel Anne calls it off. After 8 years of separation they are once again thrown into the same company. One thing I did not like was what happened with Mr. Elliot, Anne's cousin, affairs. The circumstance was a little melodramatic. That is all you will get from me. lol Fortunately I was able to read the end of this book at work. :P lol My book is the Oxford World's Classics and they have the original ending after other 'ending.' There was only a slight difference! This did not bother me too bad because I was able to understand the ending better the second time I read it. I am extremely well pleased with how this book ended. I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars! :D

"She had been forced into prudence in her youth, she learned romance as she grew older-the natural sequel of an unnatural beginning."

Moi!

As you might remember I told you all that I can't put up pics of myself. Although my mother did say I could put pictures of moi if they didn't show my face! Here are some pics! Sorry this post is so vain. :P Btw should I mention that moi, in French, means me! Also the actress that I look like the most similar is Megan Follows from Anne of Green Gables. :D Her picture is at the bottom of this post.

Learning from God - 5 - A Lesson in Silence

For Thanksgiving each of my family members was taught a lesson in silence! As you might already get the picture from what I just said we did not have a holiday spirit filled day. Each of us was forced to keep our mouths shut when our family members took a turn at being rude. Truly my grandmother, her 'new husband,' aunt, and uncle were all a bit on the getting drunk side. :P Instead of coming home with 'thankful' hearts we were all in the dumps. Although each of us felt like we did the right thing by not getting into a fight or saying anything on the way they behaved. We did not let them have the satisfaction of putting us right where they wanted us. God gave us the grace to be Christ like and show politeness despite everything. I hope you had a blessed Thanksgiving and whatever you were put through I hope God gave you the grace to do what was right.

Recently I was looking at other people's blog and saw a tag on which books you would want to live in for a time. So I'm going to do it! Although there is a twist. Pick five books that you would want to live through the entire story. These are in no particular order. Btw I'm depressed because I'm not reading anything right now. :( I'm not jk. If you have any suggestions tell me!! I prefer classics. Tag you are it!!!

1. Lady Grace Cavendish series

2. Post Cards from Pullman series

3. The Black Arrow

4. Poirot Loses a Client

5. Sense and Sensibility

Learning from God - 4 - Solomon's Gift

When my brother was younger my mother was reading about Solomon to him. She read to him about how God told Solomon he could ask for anything and receive it and he chose wisdom. My mother asked my brother what he would ask for and he said a new heart. That's when he became a Christian. Later he wanted his middle name changed to David. What would you ask for? If you are not a Christian I hope you would ask for what my brother did.

Look up 1 Kings 3:4-15 if you want to read those verses.

Romanticize

What do you, for some unknown reason, romanticize. Truthfully I seem to love the 1930's and 40's! Although I know that during that time it was hard for people: the great depression and WWII. For some reason I'm drawn to that time period. Another thing I romanticize is not just the time period but pilots as well. I don't know why, but I think it would be glorious to be able to fly in one of those planes...and wear those particular outfits that they are known for. Oddly enough I don't really care to fly in a 'now a days' kind of plane. Unless it was a small one. Did I forget to tell you that I love their fashion! lol Please comment and tell me some of your own fancies, so I won't feel so embarrassed about my own. ;) Have a blessed day!

Learning from God - 3 - Persecution

This past week I have been slacking on reading my Bible. I know it's horrible of me. :( I'm determined, though, to do better! This doesn't mean that I don't have something to write! lol This post I want to write about persecution. How all Christians will go through it and that you are not in sin because things aren't going just the way that people think they should. Here are some verses, please read them in your own Bible.

“Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

“Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on My account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you. -said Jesus (Mathew 5:10-12)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“If the world hates you, know that it has hated Me before you. If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. Remember the word that I said to you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. If they kept My word, they will also keep yours. -said Jesus (John 15:18-20)

Vintage Clothing

I really love the 20's, 30's, 40's, and 50's! Especially the clothing. I have to say though that I am not a dress person, I happen to love my jeans. lol Although that doesn't mean I can't adore it! lol Btw I had recently watched Gone With the Wind so these people are from that. If you have not watched that movie, Gone With the Wind, DO! Anway... lol Btw some of these

pictures are from years earlier as well, like the 1800's. Please comment and tell me which ones you like!

"The Dixie Widow"

The Dixie Widow is apart of a Christian series called The House of Winslow, which are written by Gilbert Morris. I have read 9 out of 40. :P First I'll tell you a little about the House of Winslow. This series goes through members of the Winslow family. The first book The Honorable Impostor starts out during the time of pilgrims, from there it continues even to War World 2. Although I love this series there are some things in it that I disagree with. Also I did not read The Indentured Heart, book three, at the advise of a friend. She told me that it had a lot of stuff that I didn't like. When I say that I mean things I disagreed with that were spiritual. It also at times, through certain books, gave a little too much detail on kissy stuff. Other than these unfortunate things in it, this is a great series! Through each of the books it tells the struggles they have to go through and people coming to the Lord. Finally to the review of The Dixie Widow! lol This continues off of the book The Last Confederate. Although it's not based around the people in that book, it would help to read it. I really liked this book, which you can tell because I finished it in five days. :P lol Although it was not my favorite out of this series. At the beginning Belle Wickham has nothing but disgusting hate for the North. Blaming them for the death of her husband. Returning evil for evil gives nothing but guilt to her. Because of certain things(I don't want to spoil it for you) Davis Winslow eats up with hate as well. Through all in all they learn to forgive and accept Jesus as their savior. In this book there was one thing that I disagreed with. It was that they believed they had to get rid of their hate or God would not forgive them. At least that is what I believe they were saying in The Dixie Widow. Please do not be feel anxious whether you should or shouldn't read this book, because it really is good. Despite some downers. I really don't want to tell you anything else about the book because I want to make sure I don't spoil it for you. Btw The Dixie Widow takes place during the Civil War.

Learning from God - 2 - Jesus is the Way

Please read John chapter 10 verses 1-18 before reading this post. Since that is a lot to write down I thought I would just have you read it in your own Bible. Some people believe that you can go to Heaven by any way. Clearly verses 1-9 shows otherwise. Also all throughout the book of John it says that you cannot enter but through Jesus. If you continue reading this chapter you will see verse 30 that says, "I and Father are one." Jesus said this. Again these verses stuck out to me. Verse 16 I believe means the Gentiles, for the Jews thought they were the only ones that could go to Heaven. Please comment and tell me if you got anything out of these verses that you would like to share. :) Btw I will be posting another one next Monday. :D

Photos!

I want to post a lot more photos on here. I feel as if all I do on here is talk...you might have noticed. ;) Anyway here are some pics.

Hope you like them. Since I do not show my face on here, or anyone else's for that matter, all you will be viewing are scenery shots. Btw I do have pictures on here that aren't specifically put in the photo slot. What I mean by this is that you will have to look through my blog posts to see all of them.

Costume Party

Awhile ago I had gone to a costume party. It was so much fun! My friend Danielle hosted it. To check her blog out here is the link: http://mylifeauthorgod.blogspot.com/ This was not a halloween party but a costume part. Last year she had a costume party as well, but I do believe our costumes were better this year. ;) Last year I was Nancy Drew. :) This year I was the Queen of Hearts! The dress was ridiculously huge. lol It even had a thing at the bottom of it to make it flare out. I was quite humiliated going to her house, especially when people would look at me. :P The other people's costumes were a mime, gypsy, someone murdered, Minnie Mouse, and a diva. While we were there we decorated pumpkins. Mine is up top(I think it looks better in person.) We also took tons of pictures! It was great to be with friends! Hope you enjoyed the update on my life! Have a blessed fall!

Learning from God - 1 - Sabbath Law

Well I want to start doing a weekly thing about what I got from the Bible that week. Perhaps this will encourage you or maybe God will enlighten you on His word. I have been reading the book of John. I have been getting so much from it! Lately I've been trying to be able to remember certain verses I like, instead of just quoting yet not know where it is. A lot of people, in churches today, still believe you are under the Sabbath law. I, on the other hand, do not.

I really like John chapter 7 verses 22 through 24- "Moses therefore gave you circumcision(not that it is from Moses, but from the fathers), and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath. If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath, so that the law of Moses should not be broken, are you angry with Me because I made a man completely well on the Sabbath? Do not judge according to appearance but judge with righteous judgment." said Jesus

When I came across this verse it just stuck out and spoke to me. Go ahead and read it in your own Bible.

Star Trek: Next Generation

Since I have been doing both book and movie reviews I thought I should do some about shows I have watched. I love Star Trek!! Yes I'm a Trekie! lol :P Although the newest Star Trek movie did not give Star Trek justice. Really the only Star Trek show I like is the Next Generation (NG). This series has so much story, action, and suspense that it truly makes this show amazing. The character development is written very well. It's really interesting following characters like Data, who is a robot trying to be more human, and Wesley, who goes back and forth to the academy. The acting in the first 3 seasons is not the best but seasons 4-7 acting is like watching a movie! Also I like how the Star Trek: NG movies go with the show. My favorite characters are Captain Picard, Data, Wesley, and Dr. Crusher. I have watched all seven years that this show has aired and it is definitely one of the best shows there are. I'm not saying; however, that Star Trek: Next Generation is perfect. Season 3(I believe) is the one with the most 'stuff' in it. Like every TV show there are episodes that you can't watch. Also I don't like the episodes with Q because I believe some of the things they say, and such, is sacrilegious. Other than these downers I would totally recommend this series, to certain people.

Thank you brother for helping me write this. You're such a blessing to me!

Signs

Recently I was able to have a friend over and we watched the movie Signs. She was spending the night because her dad was in the hospital from falling thirty feet out of a tree. Luckily he did not break one bone. The only thing that sustained a lot of damage was his spleen that ruptured. God had his hand on him! Now to the movie review! I have watched this movie more times than I can count, not joking! This is a suspense thriller but for some reason I think it is considered a horror film. I do not watch horror movies. Signs is about a family that has gone through something traumatic(I won't tell you what. ;)) and their weird habits, sickness, and records all come into play at the end. Mel Gibson plays the father, who 'was' also a pastor. From the traumatic event he loses his faith and no longer believes in God, but at the end of this movie he finds his faith and learns that nothing is luck but everything has a purpose. This is just the back plot though. One thing I have to tell you is that there are aliens in this movie, it is centered around that. Don't be weirded out by that and think it will just be stupid, because it isn't. I hate getting to this part....time for what was not good. There are no bad 'scenes' and there is very little cursing. One part I always fast forward is when the dad goes into the drug store. You will not miss anything by fast forwarding the entire time he is there. All that happens is the girl tells him everything. You can definitely watch this with your family but you might not want a young child getting too scared.

Also I hope you like my new blog template(background). My friend Dani helped me out with it. You can see her blog from the link on the side. Check it out!

The Incredible Hulk

 I really liked this movie, surprisingly enough. At first I didn't like the person they picked to play Hulk but before long I liked this person better than the one in the original. This movie had a lot of story throughout it compared to actual fighting scenes. I'm glad that they had a lot of story, which movies seem to be lacking here lately, but I do wish they had one or two more battles. Through the beginning and middle of this movie you learn how Bruce had to live with this 'thing' building up in him every time his blood rate rose. You find out when his blood rate is rising to high from a heart monitor he wears on his wrist. Through this movie it will give you an update on how long it has been since he last turned into the Hulk. I found that to be cool. Also he seems to have no control over the Hulk and only at the end do you see him be able to control it, mostly. For some reason I just really liked this movie! lol Although there was some things in it. At the beginning, when Bruce is running from the police, he climbs down a ladder and goes into this girls room he knows. Although when he first goes in she holds a bathrobe to cover herself. Also when he takes a shower it shows too much. I don't know how much because I closed my eyes. lol When both Bruce and his girlfriend go to bed, in separate rooms, you see her in a bra thing. One more thing, Bruce and his girlfriend have a bad part but it soon ends. I don't want all this to deter you from watching it, because it is very easy to avoid these things. Also this has very little cursing. I do believe it takes God's name in a very bad way, but I didn't hear it. I gave this movie a 4 1/2 stars out of 5.

 

Btw I added a song to my post Favorite Music. Check it out!

Corn Maze

I had so much fun at a corn maze I went to! I have no sense of direction though! My brother and a couple of my friends made a group...they were the first ones to get out. I, on the other hand, didn't make it through the corn maze. My friend and I were together but we were just going in circles so we decided to split up...that did not help at all! lol I ended up completely on the other side! Deciding just to quite and go through the corn, without a path, I did make it out. Although I was itching like crazy! When I had made it to civilizational I decided to go back in and try and find my friend. After screaming her name for a while she finally met up with me. We were so relieved to see each other that we gave one another a hug. :) I'm so glad that my mother put on the event! If you can go to a corn maze this fall, I suggest you do. :D Although some people didn't have as good a time as others. Just depends on you. Most of these pics I have up for this post are edited by my brother. :D Have a blessed fall readers!!!

"To Kill a Mockingbird"

Another review! :D lol Anyway this book is very well written. It puts you in the book, as if you were in a daze. Although some parts were dull, but it didn't feel as if you were literally straining to keep reading. Also this book did have the case, of which To Kill a Mockingbird is most known for, but surprisingly it was not totally centered around that. Mostly it was about their childhood and the Radley place. The case finally came in to play around 220 pages through it. Before the case started it had quite a bit of how Jem and Scout had to cope with the things people said and the hateful words toward their father. Also To Kill a Mockingbird had a character that the movie did not include, Dill, who was very much apart of the story. After reading this book I wondered how the children could stand living in that town after they knew the true content of these people's hearts. Now that I made that sound so cool I have to inform you of some downers. The cursing was ever so often but sometimes the words were up there on the list of extreme ones. Twice it took God's name in vain in a very bad way, not the normal one that you unfortunately are exposed to quite often. Other than the cursing and saying the bad word for African American's, way too often, this book didn't have any other disagreeable stuff. I would recommend this book and also I wouldn't really enforce people to read it. I enjoyed this book, although I know people like more of suspense and drama than this offers.

Determination

Well recently I have had no determination to get my school done. Basically I have become lazy... ha ha! lol At the beginning of the school year I was definitely more driven to do my school...for some reason it has completely gone away. With my math, that is. Recently I've just let myself feel defeated before I even start. I definitely have to start praying for strength and the mind to learn. Have you ever just shut yourself down to learning right when you have to do it. That's me. Although during this episode of brain-shutdown, I have been working on my Sign Language. :D If you don't work on it you will forget what you learned! I went through some work sheets and should have known all the words. Unfortunately I was slacking. This pushed me to go through some papers, pick up my Sign Language dictionary, and listen to songs and write down the words I didn't know so I could look them up. If only I had that determination for math...lol! Writing this blog post actually makes me feel a bit more driven to do the school that I have been slacking in. :)

Philippians 2:14 "Do all things without complaining and disputing that you may become blameless and harmless children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and a perverse generation among whom you shine as lights in the world."

Fall is HERE!

Fall is readily received this year! The summer was so hot! Finally I've been able to enjoy a cool breeze and actually be outside! I absolutely love this time of year! So while I was enjoying the nice weather I decided to draw a little...I'm quite sure I'll never be an artist. lol I love to draw but when I see my work...yeah...lol. One good thing is that I can actually draw birds, surprisingly well. Sometime in the future I'll post some of my work. ;) Also while I was outside I read some of To Kill a Mockingbird. I'm really enjoying it. It was funny because on the first day that it actually got chilly we were able to be with my friends the next day. There was no way you were going to be able to keep us inside. lol I'm enjoying the weather while I can! Don't squander your time playing video games, playing on the computer(I'm guilty of this one), and just being lazy during this fall. That's what freezing temperatures are for! :)
