Snow!

Today was a weird day. My dad came in my room at 6:30 and told me that school was canceled. Needless to say, I fell back asleep. Then at 6:50 (the time that I usually leave my house to go to school) he comes in and says that there is school. I have never gotten ready for school so fast. And even when I hurried, I was still late for school. And then, we got out early anyway. As of now, it is still snowing. I wonder if we will go to school tomorrow? I am going to eat dinner. Happy snow!

My Day at the Farm

Last friday I went to Sarah's house. I did lots of fun things: milked cows, fed cows, stepped in the drop, fell in a mound of silage and rolled down the other side, got milk squirted in my face, learned how to put a milker on a cow, washed cow utters, fed the baby cows (so cute), fed the goats, and I am sure there was more that I did but right now they are slipping my mind. But there was one other part, and I do believe that was my favorite, drinking the milk! It was the best milk in the entire world. I think everyone should try it atleast once in their life. You have not lived until you have tried this milk----not kidding.

Saturate

Last Thursday I went to Elim Fellowship's Saturate youth conference in Lima NY. It lasted 3 days. To say that it was amazing would be an understatement. It was actually my second time at one of Elim's conferences. It is drastically different from what I am used to. I have gone to a Baptist church my entire life. My church is mostly older people. Let's just say they don't get too excited. But the thing is, the people at Elim except you no matter. You can worship in any way you want to and no one looks at you like you are crazy. No one judges you there. The worship has been awesome the times that I have been there. And the speakers always have something to say that will hit you in ways you never expected. I loved it so much, I didn't want to go home. I can honestly say that my relationship with Christ was stengthened this week-end.

Election

I got to help out at the county offices today. It was really fun. Since I was in the last group of the day, we got to separate all the stuff that the townships and boroughs brought in. It was really crazy at times. I also answered the phone a couple of times. Overall, it was a cool learning experience. I am really sad I couldn't vote though. If only my birthday was 3 weeks earlier. Oh well. May the best man win........I hope.

My butt hurts

Horseback riding was really awesome. I had no idea I could do half of the things I did. My butt really hurts though. I am scared of what it is going to feel like in the morning. Homework calls..................

Borrrring........

I am not much good at keeping up with this blogging thing. But I will try my best. So today was a really boring day. The only fun thing I got to do was go shopping for a helmet for horseback-riding lessons. I start on thursday. I am really excited, but nervous at the same time. I love being around horses and hopefully I will like it. I can't really think of anything to talk about so, that is all for now.

Abortion

I realize that many people have different opinions on this topic. And I am going to express mine. God doesn't make mistakes. He created the child that someone is thinking about having aborted. Who are we to take human life into our own hands? We aren't anybody to do that. We have no right to take that responsibility upon ourselves. Regardless of what anybody says, that baby is a human being at the moment of conception. I cannot figure how anyone could kill an innocent child. I realize some do not see it this way. I admit, I can get pretty heated on this topic. I guess it is because it hits close to home. My sister is one of the many types of children who are aborted. She has Down's Syndrome. I could not imagine life without her. She is one of the most amazing blessings God could give anyone. I consider myself very blessed that God chose my family to put her in. How many people are missing out on a blessing like that because they have an abortion? What if the child that was aborted was going to find a cure for cancer? I hear that statement all the time, but if you sit down and think about it, it is really depressing. What are we missing by aborting all these children? Only God knows.
