I’m back!

Well, I’m still alive.  But barely!   Praise God it wasn’t too tiring til last night, and my teeth stopped being excruciating on Friday!  I’m really tired right now though.  We got back from our ballot party at about 11:45 and got to bed around 12:00.  Then we had church this morning, which [...]

Speech and Debate… yet again

Well, another tournament is just around the corner… tomorrow!  I’m starting to freak out.  I don’t know if I’ll ever learn not to procrastinate!
 I bought some material a couple of weeks ago to make some suit skirts.  I cut out the first one today, and it’s almost half finished.  I haven’t done much for debate [...]

Battle for Civilization

One of my friends alerted me of a new project of the Botkin family.  It’s a series called “The Battle for Civilization.”  Last night we watched the trailer that they have on their website, and like the stuff they’ve done before, it looks absolutely wonderful!  In it, Mr. Botkin is going to tell history from [...]

A new cool website

I just learned of this website the other day.  I haven’t had much time to explore it, but it is done by a very godly sweet young lady.  One of her purposes in making this website was to help equip other girls with learning to be a homemaker.  I strongly encourage everyone to check it [...]

Who to choose…

Recently on a forum I which I visit frequently, I started a thread asking if anyone on there ever thought of what they would look for in a husband/wife.  Most of them gave only two “standards” (as I like to call them).  That they be a Christian and that there be mutual love.  But I shared [...]

Alan Keyes for President!!

Now, I know that I’ve posted on him before, but I really feel the burden to get the word out about him.  I’ll post more on him in depth later, but for now, here’s a link so that you might go check him out yourself.  Just keep in mind, he’s the only qualified candidate running [...]

Humility

Golda Meir once said, “Don’t be so humble – you are not that great.”
 I found that really funny.  Humility is something God has been convicting me on recently.  Especially after winning at the Centennial Qualifier! ; )  But it has always been something I’ve needed to work on.
Everyone one of us is a fallen human being.  [...]

Of brave knights and fair maidens

We all know and love those wonderful fairy tales that we grew up listening to.  A maiden stuck in a tower waiting for a knight to scale the walls and free her from her prison.  Or a princess held captive by a dragon or some other giant mean thing. ; )  While these stories are “fairy [...]

Thanks for your prayers!

I wrote this in my diary about midnight last night.  I don’t know a better way to write about my experience so I’ll share my diary entry.
“About an hour ago we got back from the Centennial Qualifier.  And though I should be asleep my heart is too full, I must pour it out on paper [...]
