December 30, 2012 [Giving Blood]

 Katie called today and invited me to a New Year's Eve party tomorrow, she also asked if I wanted to give blood. April drove Katie and I to Wal-Mart. Sadly, I wasn't able to give blood because I am still taking antibodies for my wisdom teeth which got taken out December 17th, but still I attempted to give blood, I was able to receive a free t-shirt. The nurses seemed nice. I also found out that April is going on a missionary February 19th, 2012 in Utah. I hope all goes well.

Finished reading Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban by J.K.Rowling today. Last book of the year.

December 28, 2012 [Dark Corner]

Worked ten hours at work and in between lunch and dinner hours, I was literally left in the dark while sitting in the restaurant reading Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert. Mr. Det asked me if I wanted to stay his house with the kids or stay at the restaurant. I kept the radio on for company. 

December 12, 2012 [Revolution in World Missions, K.P. Yohannan

Been wrapping some early presents this week. A few weeks ago I was on Carm.org and I was sent a free book. I'm interested in reading it, but I do plan on reading Acts in the Bible before hand. Currently, I am on John. 

Gospel for Asia.

August 16, 2012 ["Life is not made up of how much a person has."]

Today was the second day of tech for me. I only had american history(same teacher as western civilization) and public speaking. Which meant that I got out of tech at 10:45am. Dad picked me up from school and we fetched a burger for Mom and my new "hipster" glasses from the eye doctor. I like them, but they look a bit nerdy, hispterry to me. A little bit out of my comfort zone. Slept, washed dishes and read the Bible. Since tech is now starting back as well as having a job, it will be hard to corporate five chapters of reading everyday into my daily routine as before. I now read a minimum of one chapter a day, but today wasn't busy so I read five. I may be lazy throughout the day and not what to read, but I will never regret reading the Bible. I always feel good afterwards.

July 22, 2012 [Walking]

I had stayed up till four this morning trying to backup my computer files. Fifteen disks and sixty-eight percent later, the backup cancels. I basically gave up on the though and am no longer going to sit for over eight hours trying to download my whole computer files.

Robbie and I walked six miles today at Byerly. We're legit thinking about making this a regular routine every Sunday evening. Even if we're busy throughout the week with no time to see each other, we still have Sunday. When he came over, he brought over the Harry Potter series for me to read in the future. 

So, I had read Matthews in the Bible today, but Robbie was talking to me about women not belonging in the pulpit, so I read 1 Timothy 12-15, which told the reason why. I have never been much for highlighting in books. Its kinda like I have this big respect for them and I don't like to cause "harm" to them, but today was the first day I had ever highlighted stuff in my Bible. I think of it as a "textbook for your life." I rather see someone with a beaten and battered Bible, then one that someone doesn't even use. The most worn books tell the best stories.

July 16, 2012 [Cards]

The cards are for a future project that I plan on doing and behind it is a list of stuff to write for them. I finished reading the first Harry Potter book today and started reading "Tortured for Christ" by Richard Wurmbrand. I know that I have said that I started reading it before, but I have read a couple of pages and quit, now legit, I have officially gotten past the first chapter and is interested in finishing it. Just in the first chapter alone, I had to reread certain parts of the text. Not because I couldn't understand it, but because I was in shock after what I had read. A truly amazing book that tells the behind the scenes first hand of the persecuted church.

July 14, 2012 [Replanted Plants]

I read multiply chapters and pages of Harry Potter. I have about four more chapters left of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. I loaded the van to take to Mt. Croghen tomorrow. Mom is not going though because she finally got all of her teeth pulled at the dentist Friday and she has this huge bruise on the side of her mouth. So just Dad and me working tomorrow.  Let's see if I can put up with him and everybody else on my own. Every summer I replant the plants that we own and I finally replanted most of them. I took one group of plants that Mom had bought before and put them in bigger pots to themselves so they can grow more. In the picture they look wilted, but that from me not watering them in steaming hot day. Don't worry though, I had watered them before I took the picture and even displayed them on an old apple crate in the front yard. 

July 11, 2012 [Reading]

I started reading the Harry Potter series today. Little news, but I'm slowly improving myself. I woke up earlier than usually as in ten-thirty and I read the Bible first thing in the morning and I wrote three pages on Genesis; the book I am reading now. I did a section of math and also hung up a painting that I had bought a couple of years back in the living room.

June 22, 2012 [Basking in the Sun]

Basking in the sun, reading a book. I just started reading the "Tortured for Christ" book by Richard Wurmbrand, today. and I'm thinking about ordering a book called "Saved Without a Doubt" by John Macarther online. Overall today, was ok. I spent hours outside just walking. The inside of the house was cold and the ninety degree weather felt good on my cold arms to where I had goosebumps on my body when I walked outside. Tomorrow I have to clean the house and dust for family that is coming over on Sunday.
