Cosmotops

Today, I came up with another weird story. If you've been reading my Christianity Savers stories, you know what I'm talking about. This time, it's a tiny bit of a Beyblade spoof, but I try not to rip them off. First some back story.

I looked at those kind of anime shows, and said "Hey, they're pretty popular!" Also, there wasn't one that promoted Jesus. A few years ago, I was in Wal-mart and saw one of the coolest things. A comic book, in Japanese format. Manga (Anime is animated manga,... or something. I don't live in Japan. So sue me!) that was about Jesus. It was called Manga Messiah. It's really cool. It's Jesus' life story in manga!

I haven't seen anything like that since, so I would like to create one glorifying Jesus. That's how Christianity Savers got started. Now I've come up with something a little different. Cosmotops.

It was well after Adam and Eve where thrown out of the garden. Abel was working his knife at a wooden toy for his kid. A top. Once he saw how much his kid enjoyed it, he made some for his extended family. They spun them, and figured out battling with them was a fun way to get better at using the tops. Cain was always tired of Abel beating him, so when God did not accept his sacrifices, Cain went over the edge.  When Cain suggested Abel and him go out to the field, he challenged Abel to a battle. After Abel lost, Cain killed him. After God banished Cain, a negative spirit remained inside the top. Soon, with the discovery of metal and plastic, they became more than just tops, they were Cosmotops.

Until today, the board of directors at Barenville High School taught creation, and the real history of Cosmotops. Now they will teach evolution. The science teacher Mr. Carwell, held a tournament. The six kids who were left standing were a new team. Mr. Carwell explained that the negative, rebellious culture we live in is thanks to negative energy. The top that originally had that energy was passed down to generation after generation until it became Evo Chameria. Named after the mythical Chameria. If the culture gets so bad, we will face destruction! Thankfully with training, these kids, with the Holy Spirit, can teach this generation God's ways before it's too late.

Thanks for reading! Blessings,
Creator's Son.           

The Fire Type

Continued from: The Team has Formed  

A ruby-red bird preened it's dazzling feathers in Thrae's morning light. A jolt shook the tree where the Evol/fire type roosted. A Rhano, a rhino-like sporemon butted it's head against the tree. The young male was practicing it's Super Charge move for a battle to mate, much like rams on Earth.

The Evol type flew to the ground, and the Rhano stopped to study the strange, new sporemon. It looked like a parrot with teeth, and strange markings. The weirdest thing about it was its eyes. Its eyes seemed to go on and on in hypnotic circles, and when the Rhano looked straight into the eyes, it lost control.

The Evol type's hypnotic power had taken hold. The red, bird-like Aptarix, the fire type Evol, had a minion, and no one could stop it from taking control of every sporemon in Thrae. Or was there?

The Most Awesome Book Saga in the Universe

I know! I know! I need to get back to my story, but bear with me here. The continuation will come, I promise.

For now I want to talk about Andrew Peterson, the famous songwriter. Who knew he had such a wonderful storyteller in him? His book series, The Wingfeather Saga, is quite amazing. In all three books you have twists and turns that you couldn't even imagine.

The story follows a family of three kids, (Guess how many kids Andrew has?) a mother, and their once-a- pirate grandfather as they try to escape the lizard-like Fangs of Dang. They have the one thing that can defeat Gnag the Nameless, the main villain and leader of the fangs, the Jewels of Anniera. Plus they have to contend with thwaps, grey Fangs, cloven, quill diggles and, the occasional toothy cow. I highly recommend this series. You will laugh through the first book, On the Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness, but it gets more serious and enjoyable (you have to read the footnotes in a different voice, you know.) .

The fourth book is scheduled to come out in 2013, and, if you read my sister's blog, she will not be happy about it. So why are you still reading this? Go and buy On the Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness on Amazon already, you won't regret it!  

I apologise to you about Firefly. She can be a little...... strange. 

What the World Teaches

It is hard, now days, to watch TV and not hear something about monkeys, humans, and the family tree we sprouted from. We need to continue and put more Heavenly stuff in our entertainment, but that's not what this post is about.

Yes, I do watch an anime show on Cartoon Network called "Beyblade", in case you were wondering (If you've seen me at the Park, or read some of my posts). Yes, they do point out "Sticking together", "Friendship", and the ever popular "Teamwork". But one thing is missing. I'm not sure if you can see it. They utter things like "I'm not alone." Yet they refer to their teammates, not God.

The point I'm trying to make is: The World teaches "Believe in yourself" while we teach "Believe in God". As Jesus says "No one can be a slave of two masters,since either he will hate one and love the other, or be devoted to one,despise the other." Matt. 6:24  You can't believe in yourself ALL the time. It's just not right.

Another example  is my Fossil Fighters Champions game, after I defeated the main bad-guy, the program said I won "Because he loved to battle, and had a strong connection with........ his dinosaurs!" They didn't know that I fully believed I had won because God gave me strength,

I'm not saying don't trust yourself, I'm saying, if you only trust yourself, you aren't strong enough, even with friends and a team. God will take care of you, because He loves you no matter what, and shouldn't you do the same with Him? Before you go, I urge you to read Habakkuk 3:17-19, it's pretty cool.       

One Adventure After Another

Yesterday, I had a cold. Possibly the SAME cold Firefly got!

In the evening, I watched some TV, until around 8:30, then got online to see if there was news of any Beyblade tournaments around my area. No such luck. I remembered I had an old account on the site (you can battle other bladers with virtual custom tops). I knew my user name, but not the number after it.  SOOOOO....   Dad pulled the rest of his hair out, trying to come up with a Lightning Scorpio (constellation, not astrology) user name, and numbers we use for accounts like that.

Finally, we decided I would make a new account, (I wrote it down so I wouldn't forget) made a custom bey, and went to bed. But Mom and Firefly got home as I was crawling into bed. Then after a long day, and  after I crawled into the covers..... I had to go to the bathroom  ONE   MORE  TIME!

One adventure after the other. I hope today I can do something relaxing like save Earth, or restring my guitar left-handed, in the rain, with my teeth.

Useless Information

Did you know bats always turn left when exiting a cave? I sure didn't.

See, I have this wonderful book called "The Book of Useless Information". Now, I love books that tell me useless stuff. You will be amazed by what you didn't know.  Like: A Virginia law requires all bathtubs to be kept outside in the yard, not the house, and Debra Winger was the voice of E.T. See? 

When you have nothing to read, or are just curious, pick up some useless information. It's great!  I can:

* Annoy my family with stuff they have heard 70,000 times

* Tell relatives cool facts about animals and other stuff

* Get an idea for a post about useless information

* Know stuff I wouldn't know otherwise.

So there you have it. Useless information in all it's awesomeness.

Say, did you know an iceberg contains more heat than a match?

The Team Has Formed

Continued from: Best Friends Battle  

 Sam, Kay and Sara stood on a hill looking at a clear, starry night sky.

"Wow," Kay murmured " Look at all those stars!"

"Yea." Sam replied, amazed. "You haven't spoken for a while, Sara. Is something wrong?"

"No, no, I just come here every night and just think. Sometimes, it's good to clean your head of all the worries of the day, and look up at the sky." She stretched her arms wide and breathed in the sweet night air. "Just think of all those stars, God named each and every one." Sara said as she gazed off into the inky sky.
"Also, He knew our names from the beginning of time. Do you think He made us all meet so we could stop the four sporemon from destroying their own race?" Sam said. Then added as an afterthought "I always wanted an adventure like this. And now, it's come. I don't know for sure, but I think we met because we are supposed to be a team and stop them all together."

Sara and Kay, both in unison, cried "Yeah!"

"But," Sam said "We need a name. What should it be?"

"I know!" Sara exclaimed. "If Dr. Charles finds how to reverse the portal gun, he may invite those four sporemon to your world. If he should gain enough credit, and if most of the Christians give up on your world, like they did here after Dr. Charles' Evo Machine blew, we could witness the end of Christianity! Yeah.... It's a tiny bit far fetched, but it could happen. How about: The Christianity Savers?" 

"Definitely!" Sam said.

"Count Lightning and me in, too!" Kay exclaimed. "Hands in, everyone!"

They each put one hand over one anothers' and the new team was born!

I am the Champion!

Yesterday, I won the hardest battle I've ever fought. On a video game that is! On the game Fossil Fighters Champions, you dig up fossils, revive dinosaurs or "Vivasaurs" as they called them, and, of course, battled. The main villain was a little too creepy for my taste, but I beat him just the same. To battle, each "person" (you and the computer) has a team of three vivasaurs.

I beat the biggest of the three, ZongaZonga, and had defeated one of his two T-Rexes. I was down to my last dinosaur and he was down to his, when suddenly, out of the blue, came THE OTHER T-REX I JUST DEFEATED! The T-Rexes had a revive ability that can call the fully healed person you just defeated. I don't know how long the battle raged, but if I hadn't had an absorb health ability, I would have been a goner.

I beat the last T-Rex, but I did not make the last move, Jesus did. He beat the game. I won't gain credit for His doings, but I will accept congratulations from you.

I hope this shows that God cares even about the little things, like winning an entire game, and when you fight your battles though life, He will be there to give you the strength to win by the slimest margin.

Writer's Block

I have no idea what to write today. I just don't know. We had torrents of rain this morning, a good thing if you're in a drought like we are. Also, do you ever have one of those days where you can't type right? If we didn't have spell check we would be doing this: Deer Mistier Gotunhimer, Tahnk yu fur the parte last knight. the cake wus delishaishus. mush love. Bobv and Sally Carol. Think about it. If we didn't have spell check, no one could read one another's handwriting. 

We have something our Family calls "Brain Sludge" It's where you get songs and phrases stuck in your head. And if you can't remember what the song or phrase is, your brain goes "Inconceivable! Hurry and find that vital piece of information! And have fun storming the castle!" It's like if we can't find the next verse of the song, missiles will launch into Russia and start World War III .

More Brain Sludge makes you write stuff on your blog when you don't know what to write! Your brain says "Need something to write about? Why not write about how you can't spell today." I apologize for this. Now I've got to go sing "Jeremiah was a Bullfrog". You can join in if you like.

       

Best Friends Battle

continued from A Big Problem

Sara cupped her hands around her mouth and yelled "All right! Let's start! Kay, you go first!" Kay looked as ready as she could be.

"Battery Recharge!" Kay cried and Lightning jumped into the air, lightning shooting off in all directions.

"Whoa!" Sam yelped "Dodge it, Blaze!" Sam's Lugmon dodged most of them, but one clumsy step got him shocked.

"Are you okay, Blaze?" Sam asked. Blaze stood up, and growled his appreciation.

"Like I said," Sara called, "Sporemon don't really get hurt, but they can get knocked out. The K.O. doesn't last for very long, though. To knock out a sporemon, drain it's health. It sounds mean, but the Sporemon seem to think battles are fun, like humans!"  

Sam was thinking about the battle.

"Lightning, move around in a tight circle!" Kay said, and Lighting dashed off headed straight for Lugmon.

Sam was still thinking, "Kay is trying to surround Blaze so he doesn't have any space to move. But Lightning is a target coming at Blaze! That's It!"

"Blaze, Lava Blaster!"

Blaze opened his jaw wide, like he was biting something, and a yellow-orange glow came from his mouth. A mighty ball of lava spewed from his mouth, but Lightning dodged it, and did her Battery Recharge.

The friendly competition was over. Kay had won. Sam congratulated her and Lighting, and went to heal Blaze.

When he came back, Sara explained "The sporemon and the owner have to be a team in battle. One gives commands, one follows. If they are not in sync, they lose. Sometimes, it's like an analogy for listening to God. If we don't follow his word, we'll lose the race we are set to run."

"That's a good description of it. Do you think God put the urge to battle in these creatures to demonstrate that?" Sam wondered.

And the three friends went to Sara's house, to rest for tomorrow's search for the four Evol types.

Parallels: the Movies

Most of you have seen Disney's Lion King, but do you realize there are parallels of us and God? When Simba's father dies, Scar tells him it's his fault, and to run away. We may sometimes realize that we are in fact the reason for Christ's death. "For God so loved the world, that He gave his only begotten son, and whosoever believes in Him will receive eternal life." Also, Rafiki (or however you spell it) Tells Simba his father lives "In you", we each have Christ's Spirit within us, as He lives, in heaven.

Also, another parallel is in Man of Action's Ben10 Secret of the Omnitrix. When his cousin saves his life and gets "eaten" instead of him, Ben is so sure "It should have been me!". We sometimes feel this way when Satan fuels thoughts of unworthiness in our soul. And yes, his cousin does survive.

Also, (another Disney movie) in Finding Nemo, Marlin goes in search across the entire ocean just to get his son back. The very son that said "I hate you!". Here is an example of  God's endless and relentless search for you when you go astray.

Other countless movies portray someone who is not at all a hero, and then thrust into a quest to either take back a kingdom, or stop an evil.  This is a representation of us, who have fallen short, yet God makes us "a royal priesthood."

So don't be afraid to bring your world view to the movies. Teach your kids and yourself to look for parallels because the movie may have a deeper meaning and that makes all the more enjoyable!           

Dart Guns and Beyblades, and New Years, Oh My!

Can you believe it's 2012????!!!! I can't! But enough about me.

You came to this blog to see if I continued the story yet, or you actually want to see what happened to our Christmas and new years THEN see if I wrote another part to the story yet.

Christmas Eve we went to my Grandmother's church for service, and then went to look at lights. We read the last day in our advent storybook, and read that version of Saint Nick from the civil war era, (Not a creature was stirring, etc...) back when my Mom, and all the other homeschool parents were 20-something. We woke up, waited for Mom and Dad to get up then opened our stockings, and ate a breakfast of turnovers.

Then we opened presents. I got a REALLY neat tie that has all the names of Jesus on it. I also got Iron Targets for gun practice out at the ranch, a Beyblade 2-pack with a Poison Scorpio and Burn Fireblaze. I also got a Rock Zurafa Beyblade as well. I got two Manga (Japanese) Dinosaur King comic books, that Mom and Dad wouldn't let me read because I had to open the other darned presents. My sister and I also got a dart gun pack, that we love!

For New Years, we went to Mustang and Bertha's house. After a lovely party, losing at ultimate tag, and eating the party junk food, we went home. Dad was a party pooper and went to bed early. Me, Mom, and Firefly watched Mr. Popper's Penguins until 12. Next time we woke up, it was 2012!!

Sorry about the story. I know you came here JUST for that. (I can see EVERRRRRRRYTHIIIIIIIIIIINNNGGGGGG!)
