Swimming, swimming, all day long...

Guten Morgen, People. I hope you are well. I am wore out. This week I have been doing a swim clinic with a lifeguard instructor. (Of course it is the same lifeguard that I had one on one lessons with.) Mr. Tangerine Speedo...(That is what we called him I think.) I do not mind though. He knows me pretty well so I am able to submit to his commands willingly. He is friendly to all of the kids doing the clinic. (When I say kids, I mean kids. Like the 11 and under crowd. I am probably two feet taller than the entire class.) He makes it fun for them and then comes to me with his somewhat mischievous grin and says, "I'm gonna make you really tired." Yesterday his commands were 300 meters freestyle (twelve times across the lap pool), 25 butterfly, (one time across) 25 butterfly, 100 meters freestyle (4 times), 200 meters freestyle (8 times).
I think that was all of them, I feel like there should have been more. We also worked on diving. He demonstrated, but this time in his swim shorts not his speedo. His dives look far more majestic in a speedo. I honestly don't know if I think that because seeing so much skin on a guy sets my brain off or if the dive looks legitimately better. I am currently trying to figure that out. (I think it is the second option. He is not as attractive as I first thought.)
Rabbit trails...where was I? Ah, yes. He had me do the Butterfly. I made him promise not to laugh. I knew it would be bad because I have only attempted the stroke like four times in my life. I have never successfully achieved it. At the end of the pool, I was hiding my face from embarrassment. It was bad. My feet separated and I never put my arms far enough forward. Try again. He asked if we needed to tie my feet together LOL. When I do the Butterfly, I feel like a retarded fish who's body just convulses in strange ways. It is a waste of energy but I will eventually get where I am going.
Tomorrow my youth group is having a pool party at my pool. I challenged the Flash to a race. I am excited, but I realized something this morning. If I beat the Flash, what goal will I have to strive for??? 😱
I will strive to beat Mr. Tangerine Speedo. Watch out, buddy. I am coming for you next.
(He doesn't read my blog. He should though.)
Yesterday I told you guys that I would gather all of the information that I found on Matthew chapter 1 and post it here. I wrote a document on Google docs. I shall give you a link to it.
Here you go:
Matthew Chapter 1
I hope you enjoy that and feel smarter after. I know it is a bit skimpy, but it is only chapter one. This week I will be adding chapters 2 and 3. I might make a completely new document or add to the one I already have. I haven't decided yet.
Y'all's thought and comments etc etc are always welcome. Have a nice day!

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...
