Generation Conference

A few days ago I went to the generation conference IT WAS AWESOME!! I got to listen to a whole bench of great speakers. From Joyce Meyer to Chris Hill. I thought I should write some quotes of what the speakers.

Chris Hill- Nothing you can make for god can equal him, but you can make a joyful noise unto him!

Pastor Mark Schilling- Don't shrink your dreams to open reality.
- Trust God even if it doesn't work out the way you wanted it to work out.

Stephen Baldwin- Are you a Jesus Freak?
- My generation will be an impact on America

Pastor Michael Servello- You can tell a lot about a christian by the way they treat sinners.
-Jesus forgave you. you should forgive them.

Joyce Meyer- The more you try to get what you want the less likely you will get it.
-Watch out for the little things god does for you through his love.
-No matter who you are god will accept you

Chico Woo- The burden of communication is on the one communicating.

Ed Young- When you run from god you'll run right into god.
-God is the author of authority
-The rhythm of rebellion: I saw, I thought, I felt.
-95% obedience is 5% short.

The Beauty of Nature

People are very busy. Most of the time too busy to stop and look at the beauty around them. I was playing a computer game when the phone rang. I went outside to look for my dad who was receiving the call when I noticed how beautiful my backyard was. It had been raining all day at my house so outside it was all misty. A late sunset was peering through my maple tree and the dew of today's rain was scattered across the grass resulting in a glittering ground. The sky was a dark orange with a few clouds whisking across the sky. Low fog covered my mountain. It was just gorgeous! I hope other people experience these perfect pictures as I do.

Day Today

Today I had a great day. I woke up around 5:30 excited about my church's first day of V.B.S. Also I woke up a little nervous about the bad thunderstorm outside my house... you'll have to forgive me,I have strange fears. Around 7:55 we left for Wal-mart and then set off for V.B.S.I had a good time I think its fun to be a helper in V.B.S. There is so much to do, well,when there are enough kids for volunteers to help ( if that makes any sense). After V.B.S. Me, Dad,Mom,Cotter Jacob,Bannon,Abby,Sophie,and Maama went of to a state park to go swimming and have a picnic. There was enough wind there that we all forgot about the 95 degree weather. The water was very refreshing and we all had a great time. When we were finally done swimming we packed up and set out to go get ice cream. Then we came home and here we are now enjoying the fans and looking forward to watching the newest show of Hells Kitchen!

My Day

Today I had a relaxing day at home, in other words I really didn't do anything. I woke up around eight, well actually I was awakened by Bannon and Abby who were jumping on my bed (and me) and went downstairs and had strawberries and whipped cream... which is a nice breakfast to have in the summer. After that I filled up Bannon's and Abby's little pool. They love that pool. Anyway, around 12 Bannon and Abby had their nap and I settled down to watch an old civil war movie... 10 minutes into it I found out that my dad wanted to watch it with me so I quickly switched the movie to Pollyanna. Its a pretty good movie if you like classics so I liked it. Bann and Abb woke up and I took them outside to play. Then me and Jake took them to our back yard to pick Black caps. Bannon and Jacob covered their faces with the juice for war paint and Bannon couldn't wait to go inside and "scare mom" after that I went on computer and now I'm blogging. Well, that's about it. write tomorrow!
