15 MORE random things

1. Co-op sign-up for the Hill Country will begin next week, so if you're homeschooled or have homeshcooling friends,  go to hchsaonline.com and sign up!

2. Some friends just got moved into a new house. I hope the house holds many memories and blessing for you!

3.  I now have a job working with my grandfather feeding feeders, mulching the garden etc. We have to lift heavy bags into those feeders when they run out, so I'm getting a good workout. (Not just for the ladies, but hey, can I help that I'm this handsome?)

4.  Our church, Church of the Hills is doing a study on hearing God's voice with Justin Carpenter. It is really amazing.

5. I suggest that you look up a person called Blimeycow on youtube. The guy is hillariouslly sarcastic and has a great concept of truth. They do a new video every Monday on different topics.

6. My favorite time of year is the summer. No school, you can swim, you can hang out with your friends, and it's not freezing like in the winter. Speaking of....

7. I don't like being cold. Never have. If the weather's warm, but the breeze is cold I have a jacket. I can stand hot way better than I can stand cold.

8. My sister is crazy and loves the cold. Go figure.

9. When my little sister was born and came home from the hospital, I ran out in the yard and said "Welcome home, Firefly!", instead of welcoming home Mom and Dad first. (No, I didn't use her blog name when I said it but I can't say her real name.)

10. My sister, like all siblings can be nuts, and will tease me about most anything, (her favorite subject to tease me on is girls) but will listen to my heart, play games, and just be fun to hang around. I'm glad I enjoy my sister.

11. Even though I'm 15, I still like my parents. Like Firefly, they can be weird, but they love me and support me, and I love them back.

12. What an awesome family I have!

13. I'm still learning, and life can be confusing at times, but hey, I've got Christ so He'll be there where ever I am.

14. IT'S FEBRUARY!

15. Blogging is fun.

God bless your day, week, and month!        

Birthday

Yesterday was my Birthday. I turned 15, and I am proud of it! I got a new video camera, the third book in the Dragons in our Midst series, (Highly recommended! They are AWESOME! author: Brian Davis) a dinosaur enyclopedia, a manga (Japanese art style) book. A Bey, Forbidden Ionis, a beywheel, Stinger Toxic Scorpio, a Beywheelz staduim, clothes, a watch, and lots of love. I'm glad I have a great family and friends. The birthday cards were great, guys(if you're reading this)!

We hung around the house until around 5:00, when we went to Bonzai!, a Japense steak house. Everything was great. They even cook your food right in front of you! The only draw-back was it was loud. Afterwards, a swim in Nana's pool. It was a great birthday all in all. 

God bless your week!

Girls

We boys are weird. We spend 9 years (or more) pestering girls, then we want that special relationship that we'll have for the rest of our lives. Now at I am almost 15, I'm wondering. "Who is she? What does she look like? How soon will I met her?" The most agonizing thing about it is.... I just don't know yet. I'm trying to become a man that God, and a girl, would want.

 I know God has something planned. I mean, I was in the Hospital for 3 1/2 months, and the only thing that really came out of it is I have glasses, (But I may have been born that way anyway) and I spin tops made of plastic and metal. I still have my brains, etc. and I am WAY thankful for that. So I know God will give me an amazing girl as well.

One thing I can't understand is why people have babies, then leave for another girl, to have babies with her. I want a relationship for the relationship! Not her body! God made Eve because Adam was lonely, not just strictly for pleasure. I'd like someone to listen to, and someone to listen to me. I'd like someone to just hang out with. I mean, sure she'll probably be pretty, but it's the PERSONALITY that counts! God judges by our hearts, not our looks. I'm not overlooking looks, but I'm saying, looks aren't everything. Someday, we'll look at this generation and shake our heads with disgust.

I don't know who she is, but I know He does. And that comforting. The only problem is... I'd like to know too!

Thank you for reading my thoughts, it's a blessing!  

       

15 random things

1. We went to Six Flags this summer, which was AWESOME! I rode the Ferris wheel and a log ride that went faster then I normally like. I still won't do roller coasters, but it's a start.

2. I have a YouTube account if you want to see it, my username is Jayblade2000. I mostly do Beyblade stuff (spinning tops made of metal and plastic) but I will try to branch out.

3. I want to tell you to pray for Firefly, because her best friend, Mustang, moved to Bryan. She would appreciate that.

4. I don't know about you, but every time they discover some new creature, or I find out about an awesome creature I've never seen before, or learn a new thing about a creature, I think about how awesome my God is. How amazing is this planet? The One who created me, you, and everyone else, created these creatures from His own imagination. WOW!

5. I have found a new series of books called the Dragons in our Midst. I'm afraid I forget the author's name, so I'm sorry. The first book is called Raising Dragons. They are Christian and very exciting, if you want to read them.

6. I'm am at that stage where I'm in between being an "adult" and a "child". It may be very frustrating, but God will show me His way. I'm trying to grow up but I don't want to be totally swamped with grown-up responsibility too early either. I sometimes feel I'm juggling! But with God's help, I can do anything,

7. I'm trying to branch out and do a genre that I haven't done before in my stories. Sports. I came up with an idea I call "Base" as in Baseball. So I've got some research to do.

8. Thanks for reading my story. I wanted to get it out somehow, and blogging helped. I hope you enjoy it, because, let's face it, it's pretty weird.

9. I won't use excuses and say stuff like "I'm almost done with this list" this time.

10. The greatest super hero of all time is Jesus. He has the power to do God's will, and through God's power, He saved everyone of us. What an awesome superpower!

11. A few friends won't be joining me for a birthday party later this month, and I'm a little sad about that. Don't worry, guys, I'll save some cake for you!

12. Algebra looks hard, but once you understand how some of it works, it's fairly easy. Emphasis on fairly.

13. I don't know why, but I can't sit still watching TV. I HAVE to do something. Spin a Beyblade, look though trading cards, draw, something! I've always been that way for some reason.

14. My sister is crazy. Okay, you probably all have crazy siblings, but she is still very crazy. Don't get me wrong I love my sister dearly, I just think she's crazier than me.

15. This is the last thing on the list, so I can tell you, I'll be turning 15 Sept. 3rd.                    

A San Antonio visit

Yesterday, we went to San Antonio for 2 main reasons, 1. to get the oil changed in Dad's car. 2. To get some more picks at the Guitar Store. I wanted to go to Target for two things, one of them  I found, the other I had to buy online.

 I found a new Bey (Nightmare Rex) and bought that. They also had a Vulcan Horusesus, Bakushin Susonow, and Spiral Capricorn, in case you are interested in rare Beyblades. Anyway, the second thing was weird. A new card game, Vanguard Card Fight,  was in our Walmart (who has absolutely nothing in the way of good card games and stuff) Yet I couldn't find a starter deck at any Target, so I had to go online.

Enough about games. We went to change the oil, then went to the Guitar store.  We then  went to Half-price books, there we got a Hank the Cowdog book (I recommend this series of books by John R. Erickson) a few whodunit books, the second book in The Door Within series,
 (Recommended) and a book of dumb signs from all over the planet..

We ate a Freddy's for lunch, and made our way to Costco, got a membership, and shopped. After ALL that, I was so tired I still have tire tracks down my back. I was glad to be home, and I  watched Dad complain about how the characters moved in his new $45.00 game that he can't get used to playing, because the camera doesn't follow you. Today we are doing school and relaxing by climbing a 500 foot tower, covered in syrup in straitjackets. Because that is more relaxing than what we did yesterday.

God Bless You,

Creator's Son's Guide to Dinosaurs

The first thing you have to know about Dinosaurs is they lived thousands of years ago, along side Turkeys, Zebras, Man, Lions, Tigers, and Bears, oh my!

Some Dinosaurs were as big as your house, while some were as small as your average sheep, or chicken.
Here are some example Dinosaurs

1. The Thesaurus was a docile plant-eater, about as big as a horse that loved to help other animals increase their vocabulary. It was shaped like a book for some reason.

2. Ihopenobodysaurus was also a plant-eater. Although we have fossils of it, scientists think it could turn itself invisible, to hide from predators, and so nobody would know it had really bad acne.

3. Tyrannosourus was a meat-eating dinosaur, that, after it's meal, ate Lemon Sours. We know this because it had very bad teeth, and possibly bad breath. It died out because there weren't enough tic-tacs to go around.

4.The ConstittuasaurU.S. was a VERY patriotic dinosaur. It was one of the first dinosaurs ever to establish a government much like the one we use today. It could eat both plants, and meat.

I hope this helps all those misconceptions about those awesome creatures! Until next time, Creator's Son, and Spike, the Igaunodon (a real dinosaur)! 

(Disclaimer: I do know all about dinosaurs, I just thought you would enjoy this more!)   

Our Trip to Brenham and Back

This last Wednesday through Monday trip was to Brenham and back, as you've already surmised from the post title.

We stopped first at Waco and went to a Heritage museum and got to see a real-working water wheel, blacksmith shop, and woodworking station! We also went to a natural history museum and their "Emergence of Man" Exhibit just had tools and dates! No missing link fossils or anything! Wow! Really good proof of evolution don't you think?

Me at the Natural History Museum wearing my shirt I got at Mardel

We went to a Dr. Pepper museum and a Texas Ranger Museum after that. It was cool to see all those different glasses that they used before soda cans!

Before we left Waco, we made one last stop. Mardel. It was SOOO cool! Alyssa almost got a new CD, but it would have used all her money. She even got to listen to some Andrew Peterson CDs! I got an awesome shirt (Not that almost ALL their shirts aren't awesome!) that says "American by birth, Christian by choice." It was true. I have the right to choose, and NO ONE can take that away from me, my family, or any one else in this country. 

Then we went to Brenham, and they had one of the COOLEST Wal-marts on the planet. They had a Beyblade named Ray Gil, one of the few I don't have, and they had Team Packs. Right now, Beyblade Metal Masters has each of the best Beybladers from around the world compete to be the world's best Blader, and they had Team USA's beyblades all in one package! We got those and they rule! But enough about that.

We also got to see the Lorax in a theater (before Mustang! Whoooo!) and it's a pretty good, (and funny) movie.

On Sunday, we went to the Renaissance festival which, almost surprisingly, was pretty decent. It was more Family oriented and most of them had decent costumes. There was even a really cool faun (Think Narnia) costume!  I even got a lucky Dragon Scale necklace and an archer-type hat! 

Me at a knife-throwing game at the Renaissance Festival. I didn't hit the target, but I stuck a knife in a wooden wall behind the target! 

This vacation was well needed, but by the end of the LOOOOOOOOOOOONG drive home I was ready to crash. And that's what I did.

I hope any of you reading this have great vacations, whether you're on them now or planning them. Have a great week!

20 random things (possibly)

1# I gave up potato chips and other related products for Lent, because I've noticed I'm becoming a little a too pudgy for my taste.

2# Monsuno, a TV show, premiered last light and it was awesome, but a favorite character didn't get a Monsuno yet.

3#  I've always thought of myself as a "hero" type of person. I think I have a knack for putting Jesus and others first, and can't quite understand why people are soooo evil sometimes. (Like Mom making me do Algebra for example)

4# I just don't really like math. I seem to be good at it but it's just confusing.

5# I like writing random stuff like this

6# My main Beyblade for now is Earth Striker, with a Special Move, Oblivion Beam

7# I like defense type Beyblades best.

8# Club Penguin's Pirate Quest lacked quite a bit.

9#  Friday night is "Cell Group" night for us, a bunch of people come to our house for a tiny "Sermon" and prayer requests.

#10 I can recite all three Ben10 theme songs, and I'm a Ben10 "Fan" (Kind of, not exactly) yet Ben can be absolutely obnoxious and we go "Whaaaat?" whenever he is. Weird? Yes.

#11  My sister and I have saved the world from an angry Polar Bear named Herbert and his pet crab Klutzy on more than 3 occasions. That's all I can tell you. I'm sworn to secrecy by an organization called the EP- LOST TRANSMISSION! ERROR! POTATO SALAD NOT AUTHORIZED! DOOOOT!

#12 There is a ninja right behind you. Made you look!

#13 I don't like the dark. At. All. I don't know why, I just get creeped out even though Jesus is right there.

#14 My sister plays violin and I play guitar

#15 Did you know, (okay, now you do)  I have had numerous pre-Cristainty Savers stories over the years. In fact, I can't remember my first version, except it had a little diamond-like sporemon and three bad guys wanting to turn the sporemon into cards.

#16 I am known in my household to make up stories like that. Huh, I wonder why?

#17 I'm almost done with this list

#18 The Weego, Dorito Baby, and Aliens at H-E-B were my favorite Super bowl Commercials.            

#19 I'm almost done with this list.

#20 I'm done with this list! (Mom says I cheated. *heh heh*)
 

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.
