Day 2

Sorry it's so late, but I had to write a letter to my cousin. I love him so much. He's 11, and he sent me the sweetest letter ever a couple weeks ago. Over the summer he visited California and I taught him how to swim during his stay here. When he went back to Colorado, he was able to participate in all sorts of fun activities in Boy Scouts since he could swim. Not only that, but he competed in a 1-mile swim... Kind of. He got out after 18 laps, very frustrated and tired, but hey! I'm still proud of him! So I finally got around to writing a thank-you note for a thank-you note. Wow.

I actually got the chance to go to Wednesday night church for once! Thank you coaches for cancelling swim all week - it gives me a break from having no life. Anyway, tonight we had a guest speaker talking about homosexuality and what the Bible has to say about it. Long story short, homosexuality is a sin, but no worse than stealing or cheating or lying. They're no worse than us; we're all going to hell and would already be there - if Jesus hadn't died for our sins and forgiven us on the cross. It's the gory-est beauty I think I've ever experienced.

Well, I still have homework to do and I'm tired so...

Au revoir!

Day 1

Ahh, the joys of being a Godly princess... High school, homework, chores, oh my. Sometimes I wonder if God hates me and thus sends me all this extra work and stress. The answer? No.

I believe these are like pop quizzes in our lives. You don't know when they're coming, or neessarily why, but if we've spent time studying (the Bible, yes, but I'm talking about quality time with our Teacher), we'll do fine. Amen, right?

I'm taking French as my language and it's got me thinking... How can I use this in my life? And how can I use it to praise God? After thinking for a loooong time, I snapped my fingers and nearly exploded into smiles. I could be a missionary in France! But then the machine gun of reality hit me - hard. How would I pay for it? Where would I go? What about a family and a job? And, of course, college? So now I'm praying about it. Just thought I'd let the world know why there's an Eiffel Tower as the backround of this blog.

Au revoir!
