English Biography Speeches

Today was when me and and several other people did our english speeches. I went third, and by then I got really nervous but after some words and a few sentences, it got easier. I was the only one who seemed to get several questions, most of which I seem to have answered in my essay.Overall though it seems to me that going up there was pretty courageous, even though it was pretty much forced.

George Foreman

Today on sunday I finished up my reading logs from english and my autobiography is on George Foreman. At the start of his life he was very poor and he got in lots of fights. When he was in ninth grade he dropped out of high school and started boxing. After one defeat in the dressing room God opended George's eyes and helped him see the trurth of the world. Since then he has won two World Championship Heavyweight boxing awards and a Olympic gold medal and he has his own product the George Foreman Grill. When he first accepted Christ he was laughed at, but still he stood up to the media and that takes lots of courage.

Today, or rather, tonite, I'm going to write about the Crocodile Hunter, Steeve Irwin, because the earlier in the day I was doing my favorite sport (Chanel surfing) and saw his daughter's show and it reminded me of the good ole' days of where I watched his shows and went out and caught gardener snakes in my backyard. When he died, I remember I think I was actually saddended by the loss of a television person. I always thought of fhim as being one of the coolest guys in the world, capturing snakes, alligators and any other dangerous animals he would come across, and teaching the world about them. I don't know if he ever was a cristian, but something tells me he never had the chance to expierance the love of the Lord.

My Picture Icon-ma-doodler thing

I was looking at my profile when I saw that my picturer was barely visible.

SO here is a nicer version of the..uh...Guinea Pig? Dog? Cat? Horse?

Day three

Wow... I woke up early today, and I realized what, or rather who, my courage journal for today would, and will be.

Usually I wake up right before we have to leave, so my mom wakes me up, tells me to get dressed ect... and more ect.... the point of that is that she chooses to wake me up so I can get all my homework (Anywhere and Everywhere) make lunch, and generally get ready. If it wasn't for her, I don't know where I'd be.

I'm so thankful for just a MOM, unlike the kids in Haiti who have no one.
And what more courageous than waking up a sleeping teenager? Nothing thats what.

So..thanks mom.

Day 2

Today in Bible class I remeber the young film-maker who died of cancer, Cameron Duncan, and how he had a lot of courage for standing up to cancer and never backing down from it. He lived the last few months of his life not knowing when he was going to die, and he kept making short movies even though he had no idea when he would leave the earth. I only wish he would have had the chance to get to know the Lord before his totaly premature death. I know that Jesus would have accepted him with open arms, just the same with anyone else who came to him.

Day One (8-twenty second-08)

The Chapel About Haiti



Today on wednesday, I keep remebering the chapel that talked about Haiti and all its problems and I told my mom about it, and she is actualy is sponsering a child in Haiti through Compassion International. The thing that keeps popping out to me is the story about how the family brought their daughter to a voodoo priest to sacrifice for money.The priest got a box and put snakes on the girl and they started to choke her, the awesome part about that TRUE story was when the daughters sister yelled at the priest "The blood of Jesus! The blood of Jesus!" and the snakes fell off the girl. Another awesome part was that the priest told the family that she was protected because of Jesus. I'm so glad that the little girl could tell other people about Jesus, something that some people never do, and they are not even in danger!
