Some Bible Verses, and A Joke or Two!!

• Here is something that I found in my bible and was very fascinated with. Athaliah was the only queen to rule Judah without a king because she murdered her grandchildren and all the royal family. Which is found in 2 Chronicles 22:10


• Psalm 107:8-9 Let them give thanks to the Lord... for he satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things.


• Isaiah 25:1 O Lord, you are my God... in perfect faithfulness you have done marvelous things.


• The Apostles Creed- I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, his only son, our Lord, who was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit born of the virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried; he descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again, he ascended into heaven, is seated at the right hand of the Father. And will come again to judge the living and the dead. I Believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy universal Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.


• Jeremiah 20:13 Give praise to the LORD! He rescues the life of the needy.


• Judges 5:3 Hear this, you kings! Listen, you rulers! I will sing to the Lord, I will sing; I will make music to the Lord, the God of Israel.


• Psalm 81:1-2 Sing for joy to God our strength; shout aloud to the God of Jacob! Begin the music, strike the tambourine, play the melodious harp and lyre.


• Psalm 98:4-5 Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth, BURST INTO JUBILANT SONG WITH MUSIC; make music to the Lord with the harp, with the harp and the sound of singing, with trumpets and the blast of the ram's horn-shout for joy before the Lord, the King.


• 1 Corinthians 14:15 I will pray with my spirit, but I will also pray with my mind; I will sing with my spirit, but I will also pray with my mind.


• Ephesians 5:19-20 Speak to one another with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord, always giving thanks to God the Gather for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.


• Romans 6:8 Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him.


• 1 Corinthians 12:12 The body is a unit, though it is made up of many parts; and though all its parts are many, they form one body. So it is with Christ.


• 1 Corinthians 12:4-6 There aer different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit. There are different kinds of service but the same Lord. There are different kinds of working, but the same God works all of them in all men.


• This is another cool thing in my bible... Can you imagine... what it was like to live in bible times? Wake up to the sun, not an alarm clock... on a floor mat, not a bed- sleeping in wasn't as tempting back then. Make the food, bread, olive oil, figs, olives. Walk to the well for a bucket of water. Learn about stuff, not through written books, only through storytellers. Washing the clothes, uh, right. No washers and dryers. Shopping, no malls just open markets. Campfires at night no electricity or TV or Ipods, or computers. Bathing, not enough. Once a week instead of every day. Sickness, if someone was sick and got something like leprosy, they were cast out and had to live on the outskirts of town. Emergencies, the community helped each other out, no 911. No college, young men generally learned the trade of their father by being his apprentice. Young women learned about housekeeping and parenting from their mothers. Hubs of culture, church, family, etc. Entertainment, music, singing, dancing, weddings, etc.


• Revelation 19:6 Hallelujah! For our Lord God Almighty reigns!!


• Revelation 22:5 God will be there with us in a new heaven and earth he'll crate. There will be no more death or mourning or pain. The new universe God creates will be spectacularly beautiful, and there will be no evil or sin. We'll serve God there. No one knows just how, but we won't be inactive or bored. We'll see God himself. And we will "reign for ever and ever."
  

Here are some jokes that I got from my 1001 jokes book!!!

• What would happen if pigs could fly? The price of bacon would go up!
• What do you get if you cross a camera with an alligator? A snapshot!
• Why did the Cyclopes close his school? Because he only had one pupil!
• What's the best day for cooking bacon? Fryday!!

Busy Day #8

Well... I don't have a whole lot to say. I'm pretty tired though from getting up at 6 this morning to go to weights. We didn't go for very long though... so It wasn't too bad. After weights I went to the carpet store. While I was there I cleaned, a lot. We cleaned out all the corners and got rid of all the junk... well most of it. After we got everything out we vacuumed and dusted, and started to organize some things in their office area. I also took a whole bunch of plans from houses and alphabetized them. So even after I had done all of my cleaning at home... I went and cleaned some more. I actually had a really good time though. After I got done cleaning we went to Sonic and got some lunch. I got a chicken sandwich and some cheddar puffs. Tomorrow I will be out at the store again. For the rest of the day I played catch with Drew and Tate, and we even fielded some grounders. (Stephanie: tell Drew that it was a good thing we played catch and he threw me grounders this afternoon because we never got a call about softball practice and I missed it. So I got my own practice in this afternoon.). So as you just must have read, we didn't ever get a phone call saying that practice was moved from 8 to whenever it was and so Dad drove by the school and they were practicing. But by the time I would have been ready and got up there it would have already been almost over. Plus me and mom had both been asleep when he called so I would have had to been zoomy quick to get ready. So we just stayed home, and mom made some dinner. We had tacos for dinner and they were Delicious. But before dinner Alex and Dad had set a pop bottle out in the weeds and were shooting at it from the deck. I think they stopped that whenever they got Bud out. Alex claims that he shot a bird earlier but I don't know if I believe him. After dinner I was having some technical difficulties with my computer but I got them fixed thanks to dad! You can give him a round of applause. So now I'm just sitting blogging. I may do another post later. Right now I'm reading Genesis in the bible. I'm just reading like one or two chapters a night. Right now Adam and Eve just got kicked out of the garden. I like how my new bible that I got for my birthday puts things. It has all of these little questions and answer things. It's very helpful.

Have a nice evening!! PS. Good luck Drew and Tate @ your ball game.

Random Thoughts

So here is today's post! I know it's a little late, but I thought I would share my day with you anyway. First hour in science, we did a lab that I totally didn't understand and we had a worksheet that I didn't get filled out. But he said we could work on it tomorrow, NH!(no homework). Second hour in Algebra 1 we went over our homework from two days ago and then got some more, which I finished in American history. Fourth hour in facs we practiced doing icing designs, because we are going to decorate cupcakes tomorrow. Fifth hour in P.E. we played bad mitten, possibly for the last time, sad. Sixth hour in English was a little more interesting. We had a little incident, and later during 7Th hour Me and some other kids from my class had to go and tell the principal what we saw. No big deal, and no I wasn't involved at all. The good news about English though was that I got a bug. I got my first one, yea!! It is a caterpillar, and it is pink with orange things on it. Finally we went to lunch. Then seventh hour like I said I spent most of my time in the office. But after that I came back to Mom's room and cut our some laminated reading card things. After school I went to the cafeteria and Kay picked me up and brought me to her house. I had to read some stuff for our bible study tonight. So I read and answered some questions. It was so pretty. Pretty+cold= Great pictures. I got some really good shots and a couple of videos. But looking at the time, I don't have any to spare. So just getting this post in is going to be a miracle. But when Mom picked us up we came home and had a hot dog and chip dinner on the go, while I found a great video to help me learn the preamble to the Constitution. Then we went to the church and had bible study, and Josie got braces, and she looks so pretty. Youth was right after, So I stayed and had fun. At 8:00 or so North Carolina and Duke were playing. So of course Alex had to see them play. So That is were we went, but us girls only stayed until half time, then came home to take showers and get in our Jammie's. I am going to finish up this post then go to bed!! I am exhausted, and I HAVE TO lift WEIGHTS tomorrow!!!! Oh yes, Bree left with her family for Colorado tonight, so I will have the locker all to myself for two days. How sad. IT is way too late for Me! I gots to go!

Hey! I don't have much time to post, I am needing to eat so that we can leave and go to bible study. Later I will post pictures and some other random stuff!
