Hello People. Today is the second day of August. How the time does fly. School is coming soon. I am going to switch from doing school in my bedroom to attending a giant school. I am a little concerned about how the culture shock will affect me. Let's just be honest here, that is a bit of a change. Fortunately, I am fairly certain that I already work harder in general then will be necessary in public school, so I am not concerned about falling behind.
I must apologize for having my post out so late today. I was really tired so I slept in til like 6:30, then I got dressed and ready for the day, then I swept the dining room, then I switched over the laundry, then I unloaded and loaded the dishwasher and then grabbed some coffee. Now it is 7:03 and I am writing my blog. My brother just woke up. He will either climb in mom's bed or want to watch something train related.
I honestly don't really know what to talk about today.
My neighborhood swim team is to be called the Fighting Frogs. When I saw that, I must admit I was a little disappointed. Like fereal? That's the best you've got? (We should be the Birdcrabs of America) I was challenged to make our like mascot-picture-dude-thing. This I will do, then I will post it here. I have an idea in my head that will come out distorted on paper. I will try my best though.
Okay, in all seriousness, let's wrinkle your brain just a tad. You are probably tired of hearing about my life. LOL. Let me see... Here, watch this commercial.

It will make you laugh.
For school, I have been reading a book called In His Steps, many mistakenly call it What Would Jesus Do? It was written by a pastor for his Sunday evening service. (At the time, stories that applied biblical morals to real life were very popular and he wanted to increase the Sunday evening attendance.) He would read a chapter every Sunday that ended in a cliff hangar so the people would have to return next week to know what happens next. Pretty interesting, yes? The book is good too. It is about a pastor that challenges his very uppity church to take a pledge to not do anything without first asking What would Jesus do? and then following as best as they could to be like Christ for an entire year. A few people thought this idea was ridiculous, but a few people took the pledge. The book tells of the challenges they face in trying to be like Jesus and do His will. It also shows the huge impact that they made in their city. It was truly incredible. I found it very uplifting to see what would happen from a personal view and also from and unattached angle. (Personal because I was able to read what each character felt, unattached because I am not actually part of the story.) In the end, it is a very good read. Even if you are not religious I think you would be interested. I highly recommend this book. It really challenges you to consider your actions and how they affect others.
That is all for today. Have a good day, comments and thoughts and whatnot are always welcome.
One more thing! I posted a challenge on Monday. (finish that poem...) I will be judging the results tomorrow! Don't forget to send me your version of the finished poem. 😁😁😁
