New Poem

Good morning People. Is it rude that I call you "People"? So yesterday was an adventure. I babysat 6 kids from 10:00 until 2:00. The (probably) 12 year old was very helpful. The (probably) 9 year old was super sassy (He always is) and he beat me at chess. (I haven't played chess in well over two years, I think I did pretty well.) Then there was the normal 6, 4, and 3 year olds that I watch all of the time and also their baby sister. Needless to say it was exhausting. We walked the 10-20 minute trek to the park, played for about ten minutes and then had to rush home because the oldest had to go babysit for somebody at 2. Their parents picked us all up on the side of the road. I had been carrying the 4 year old, watching closely the 3 year old. The 9 year old was walking and holding his skates and complaining about something. (I didn't care what) The 12 year old was pushing the baby in the only stroller and the 6 year old was walking. Good times.
I came home and we left to the chiropractor where we waited for a while before hitting traffic on the way home and then dinner took a long time to cook so we missed church. I was pretty bummed. Two reasons.
1-My friends are leaving today and that would've been my last chance to say goodbye
2- My pastor is doing a study on the history of the Church and it's like a review on my school year. I really love it.
Oh well, maybe next week. So I started writing a poem again yesterday. #2 looks at me, asks what I'm doing and then grunts something like, "Oh it's that poem thing again." I'm just thinking to myself Don't judge #2! But I decided to keep my mouth shut. I will show you my poem so far, but it is unedited. (Watch me edit it as I type it. LOL.) I don't have a title yet, so if you guys have any ideas let me know.


The tongue truly can no man tame
What I think and say are nearly ne'er the same.
Intending to greet or say something sweet,
I go and verbally chop like raw meat.
Whoever said that stick and stone
may break my bones but words'll never hurt me?
They lied to you, straight their teeth through.
Words are vicious
Like animals
Vivacious
Like the poison of the scorpion, they sting,
Wounding the one to which they fling.
Be careful with your words oh little one,
And do, do try to tame thy tongue.


ok yeah. Totally edited that. This is what I wrote yesterday:
The tongue truly can no man tame
What I think and say are nearly ne'er the same
Intending to greet
I chop like raw meat
whoever said sticks and stones
will break my bones
but words will never hurt me?
They were wrong; they lie through their teeth.

I like the edited version better. Well it is almost time for me to go babysit again. Have a good day, people.

First Post/ Finding Inspiration

As This is my first ever blog post, I thought this random writing rather suits the situation.  Enjoy. 😎   Here I sit, trying to find some inspiration for my pen to express on this page.  I close my eyes and let my thoughts sink into the depths of my soul in search of emotion.  All is pitch black, yet I can see; no, feel the dread beasts nearby.  Anger breathes down my neck while Ignorant Joy juggles knives in an effort to comfort Self Conscious who is weeping in the corner.  The more dangerous emotions I prefer to keep locked in steel cages.  To my left, Fear growls and tries to convince me to let him out.   Behind me, red hot Anger still heaves his fiery breath, singeing the hairs on my neck.  To my right, are Love and Trust.  By far the most dangerous of the group, yet also the most inspiring.  Together they conspire over an intense game of cards how they will soon rule the world.  I boldly approach them and twist the key...

Master's Camp 2018

Hey, all. I know that has been quite some time since my last post. I have had a lot going on. Even now, I have a lot going on in my mind. But let me tell you about camp. We went to Master's Camp at Alto Frio, (Which btw means like Cold River or something like that in Spanish.) On the first two days we learned/discussed how God is bigger than our tiny minds can fathom and how He can provide for our every need. Tuesday afternoon the entire camp was told not to use the water. There was something wrong that caused the camp's water pressure to go way down. At first they thought that it was a busted water line, but soon we learned that it was the drought. The wells where the camp got water from were nearly empty. Over 800 campers, no running water. All of the leaders met together to pray, our church group also met together and prayed, along with others. We knew God would provide. (After all, that was what we had been talking about for two days, was it not?) Sure enough, within hours,...

Caroling and Christmas Parties

Hello Humans. That is how I have been greeting people since last week. You would not believe how many offended looks I have gotten. It is pretty hilarious. So you guys remember how excited I was that I was going  to put up Christmas lights with my friend on Saturday? Well it rained the night before, so we didn't do that. But! Before I get ahead of myself, I did get to go to a play at my school with LTG and his mom and my sister. It was pretty great, the play was fantastic. It was Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat and my friend-quaintance Daniel Oriano was the main character. I didn't know that he could sing and was left quite impressed.  After that we went home. It was pouring rain. Like so much rain. Saturday came. I went from sleeping to suddenly being awake. Which was fine. I believe that was the night that I had a terrifying dream. I shall relate the first half to you, the second half is just confusing.  It began with me in english class, which is 8th per...
