Ephesians 2:14

So I think whoever does these daily verses like knows me :) because another verse has struck me as amazing: Ephesians 2:14: For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us.I think we need that verse in our house to know that Jesus is peace and that we need to appreciate everyone through this verse.

1 Corinthians 10:13

So on my iGoogle homepage I have a gadget with a new bible verse daily. So today I pulled up the internet and it was 1 Corinthians 10:13 which says “No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.” 1 Corinthians 10:13. That is probably one of my favorite verses in the Bible and it was pretty cool that that was the verse of the day. So I just wanted to share that with you. Thanks

Beach!!

12:57 PM Wednesday

We just ate lunch after going to the beach. My brother and I caught some awesome waves before going to the freezing, frigid pool!!

Random Stuff

OK I know I haven't posted in like three months and I need to get back in the habit of doing so... So this article is going to have a lot of random articles but that's why it's on Article Meltdown right? :)

so... First order of business is to announce that I am homeschooled!!!! (if you are wondering where you have heard this before it was because I mentioned it in another post last school year) So homeschooling is working out well and I go to co-op and do Scrap-booking, Drama, Science, and Writing.

Next, is that we are going to the beach in October!! I will be posting pictures and such on the blog after we get back.

Thirdly, I am in a play...
I am playing Sphrintze from Fiddler on the Roof. She has two or three lines, sings in all the group songs and sings a family song. She is the second-youngest daughter so she doesn't have to really sing any solos or get matches made for her or anything.

I think that is it but I am human I make mistakes so if you get on here in a couple days and you see there is another one just like this that's why :)

Last Day of School

The last day of school is coming up. Wow it seems like we just started school last week. This will be my last day at a private school until college probably. When the last day of school comes I will put pictures up.

Futuristic

In the future it looks as if I am going to be home-schooled. I am not really sure what I am feeling but I am really nervous. If you are home-schooled or are/have been home-schooled. PLEASE tell me about it. Thank You!!!

Brains of an Owl

All right Article Meltdown fans I have a new story series for you all. It is called: Brains of an Owl!!!
It is a couple of chapters long so here it is:


Chapter 1
The Long Night
“Hello and welcome to the game show called “What Is Up” Where the object of the game is to figure out what is up. Joining us on this dark stormy night is Angela the owl. So Angela, what are the white puffy things in the sky?” the Game Show host asked.


Angela replied, “Clouds, I am not that stupid.”

“Well um yeah good job, you just won 2,000 dollars.”


“Thank you, but I am an owl and I do not want money. I want a scholarship to an owl college that is why I am here.” Angela said.

“But we do not give away scholarships to owl colleges,” he muttered, “or any college for that matter.”


“Well than I am leaving,” Angela sighed. Then she walked off the set.

“Well then” the host said awkwardly, “that’s it for What is Up.”

Spruce Lake

For those of you who have never been to Spruce Lake before I have a special article for you. THIS ARTICLE IS GOING TO BE ALL ABOUT SPRUCE LAKE!!!!!! OK for starters, you have to be at school at 6:30 in the morning. You leave exactly at 7. That means you have to get up at like 5 in the morning. For those of you who like to sleep later than 5 in the morning you are probably saying Oh great why would she put this post up and go to a different website. Trust me if you are feeling that way don't do it... Spruce Lake is totally worth it. After you load up the cars off you go on a three hour trip. BUT the scenery is beautiful. When you pass the overlook it is BEAUTIFUL!!!! When you get there prepare for some comfort food. Spruce Lake has the best food ever!!!! DRINK CHOCOLATE MILK!!!! It is the best and tastiest way to get the nutrients of milk and sugar into your body. Trust me you need it. After you eat you unpack and get in your cabins. The cabins are the best, comfiest rooms ever. Depending on what grade you are in. You get to do bigger and more fun stuff the older you get. Like this year we got to do the Power Swing!!!! They drop you in a harness from a 30 ft. drop its awesome. On the day you leave you stop at McDonalds to eat. Spruce Lake is the best place ever to go on a overnight field trip!!!!!!

Book Review: King of the Shadows

For Literature we have to do book talks once a quarter. Book talks are a book report, a speech and a creative model. This quarter I read the book King of the Shadows by Susan Cooper. For my creative model I wrote a short story which I would like to share with you. If you are looking for a book to read I would highly recommend this one. If you would like to read an actual book review here is one from Wikipedia that I liked:

Well as you know Nat Field came to live with us from St. Paul’s School. A few days after he got here he got the plague so we sent him to bed with the gravest thoughts. We thought he would die but he didn’t. But, he didn’t seem like the Nat Field we knew before he got the plague. I thought nothing of it at the time. Now that he is gone well… Harry

Since you want me to say something about Nat, I guess I must since I am apprenticed to you. My name is Roper and Nat and I don’t get along well at all. Nat is good at gymnastics and I guess he is a tad bit better than me. But on the contrary he is terribly bad at fencing where as I am on of the best in the company. Well apart from you and Master Burbage I suppose. What’s that you say??? I have to talk about Nat???? Well Nat is a bothersome boy and a coward. One time we went to a bear-baiting and he ran away crying like a baby. Am I done now? Roper


Well now I am going to write about Nat even though I am the writer. Nat is a dramatic young boy. Now that we know what happened I was sad to see him go. Well see let me explain from the beginning. Nat Field was a boy who did go to St. Paul’s School and he got the bubonic plague. Now if I had gotten it from him and died I wouldn’t have written anymore plays for the company to perform. So somehow I sent him to the future to get the care he needed. Well he did and luckily got switched with a Nat Field from 1999. Strangely enough he knew the lines to the plays we did. Well so after he had been here for about a month, he got switched again with the Nat Field from now. We will always miss Nat Field from 1999 in our hearts. William Shakespeare

Camp Wildflowers

This summer I went to Camp Wildflowers. We went cliff repelling and canoeing. Going down the cliff was really scary. It was hard to put your trust in a rope and basically drop yourself over the cliff. Canoeing was really fun because we did not know how to do it. We also had cookouts where we roasted marshmallows and hot dogs. We made a hobo dinner of beef packets and dump cake which was really good. We went swimming almost every night. We played games and had a food fight, which was really disgusting and messy. I really loved going to camp.

Chapter 3
Trouble

After I went to the grocery store, I went to my house. I put everything away neatly inside the cupboards in the kitchen. Then I went back to the small town. I walked around the park. In the park there are small vendors selling ice cream,hot dogs and stuff like that. I asked some of them if they had seen my mother. Almost all of them said they had not. But one of them said they had seen someone like that description at Town Hall a couple of weeks ago. That really did not help at all but I thanked him and left. I did not have anything else to do so I walked over to Town Hall. Unfortunately I had forgotten that the 4th graders of the orphanage were taking a field trip to Town Hall to watch a small trial. I quickly ducked behind the building but it was to late, somebody had seen me. Now I thought I would be caught but they looked at me and saw that I was older then them. So the little girls thought I was just visiting the trial just like they were. I have to be more careful from now on.

I am looking forward to...

This summer I am really looking forward to going to camp. I am going to be tomahawk throwing, archery, swimming, playing games, hiking, and hanging out with friends. I like this camp because it is kind of by itself. It is in the middle of a quiet town. I have been to this camp once for a weekend, but this time it will be for a whole week. A whole bunch of people I know will be coming.


Another thing I am looking forward to is the beach. All of our distant cousins are coming. It will be a big family reunion. People I have not seen in a long time will be there. It will be awesome!!!

This summer is going to be a great summer!

What I want to be when I grow up...

When I grow up, I want to be a writer. If I were a writer, I would write tons of books, fiction non-fiction, and historical fiction. My historical fiction books would mainly be about World War II. Another choice for an occupation would be a veterinarian (vet), marine biologist, or serve in the military. If I were a veterinarian I would love every minute of it. It would be really cool to help animals like that. Also I would like to help groom animals. If I were a marine biologist, I could find all sorts of exotic species of fish. If I were to serve in the military, I would probably want to serve in the Air Force. There are so many good choices I am glad I don't have to decide now.

Things I look forward to in 6th Grade...

In 6th grade I am looking forward to a lot of things. One thing I am looking forward to, is going to Spruce Lake again. The 5th through 8th grades go every year. Last year, we got to go hiking, got to look down a cliff, we played a Survival Ecology game, and we got to go down a zip line. This year we get to stay up to 11 o'clock at night instead of 10:30, we get to do a rope course and we get different cabins.


Another thing I am looking forward to is math. You have one math class but it is chosen according to your level. I am hoping to get into advanced math.


The last thing I am looking forward to is being in middle school. You just feel older and more mature. (even if you aren't mature.)
