My dad and I know that America used to have a good government, and it helped us do the right thing. But we both see now that it has gone downhill. The government has too much power, and they're using it in the wrong ways. For example, they say that kids can get the best education in school, but they're having a hard time finding teachers that are smart enough! » read more »

I have watched a show for several weeks now called the Baby Borrowers. It's where five teenage "couples" borrow babies, toddlers, pre-teens, teens, and elderly people. All the girls thought they would be wonderful parents and wanted to have kids as soon as possible. Well, at the end of the experiment, they all broke up and weren't going to have kids for a long time. So think about that before you have kids too young from now on. It's a good thing to learn!

There is a new movie that's out. It is an American Girl movie. I have heard many good things about it, and I intend to see it this weekend. I really think I will love it and the storyline of it. I will write what I think about it after I see it. I will recommend it now to any girls who love adventure, American Girl, or Kit the American Girl doll. There will be a description of what it was like this weekend or after here on the blog. (I forget what year she's from, but she has a typewriter and a candlestick phone.) Anyway, it sounds really cool!

Imagine you and the Lord Jesus are walking down the road together. For much of the way, the Lord's footprints go along steadily, consistently, rarely varying the pace.

But your footprints are a disorganized stream of zigzags, starts, stops, turnarounds, circles, departures and returns.
For much of the way, it seems to go like this, but gradually your footprints come more in line with the Lord's, soon paralleling, His consistently.

You and Jesus are walking as true friends! » read more »

Our earth is not in the best state it could be in. People are always throwing their trash just anywhere. The garbage men don't pick up the little pieces of trash they drop. At the parks, almost no one cleans up after their dog. I'm not green or any of that weird stuff, but this is just wrong. It's like people don't care anymore. Believe it or not, I really don't think they do. There are trash cans everywhere! There's even bags to clean up after your dog at the park if you don't have any! » read more »

My sister is in the Air Force. She is currently in Iraq searching people who visit the prisoners with a metal detector. I haven't seen her in about two and a half years.

Her husband is in the Air Force, too. I forget what he does, but he made sure my sister got a safe job. They both help keep America safe. Sometimes, my sister sends me things. It's really cool to see it. » read more »

I've noticed a big difference between homeschool and public school. First of all, I'm homeschooled year-round. We can take breaks whenever we want to. Also, I don't go by my grade. I work at whatever level I am in that subject. I am also not kept in a classroom all day with no freedom. » read more »

I'm sure all women love to pamper and take care of their body. Well ladies, here's a new way you can pamper yourself without having men calling at you.

I'm positive you all know about makeovers that make you look prettier. What I came up with is called a Natural Makeover. It doesn't make you look any prettier, but it makes you feel good about yourself. It's like putting lotion or baby powder on yourself. It makes you feel good, right? It's also like taking a hot bath when you're cold or your muscles are hurting. That relaxes you, right? That's what a Natural Makeover is. It's to cleanse your body and make you feel great! » read more »

Different people like different kinds of pets. Some people really like cats. Ya, cats are cute. But they tear up your furniture, break valuable things, and their litter box smells! Some other people really like birds. I think they're pretty, but they're really loud! Some really different people like reptiles. They're really fun to learn about, but they're just too gross and slimy for me!

But just because different people like different pets, that doesn't mean you should pick your friends by what kind of pet they have! Stick to the person's personality!

What is it about dogs that makes people just love them? Do they have a special look in their eyes? I have found that it is based on the personality of the dog. For example, my dog is very sweet. It's impossible to not love her! But pit bulls are mean. They have a personality that makes them almost impossible to be loved!

Different people also love different kinds of dogs. For example, I love sweet cuddly lap dogs. But that's the kind of person I am! Some other people might just love the way pit bulls are! So that's the kind of dog they'd want to own!

My point is that different people love and want different kinds of dogs! » read more »
