Taking over the World one Roll at a Time

So the other night I was watching tv and a commercial came on with a family that looked like they were diabolically plotting something evil, and then I come to find out they were playing Monopoly. The new Monopoly has a world board. I couldn't help but think, "That's one way to teach your child to become the Anti-Christ, to take over the world using a board game as a training tool." Ok, so maybe I am over reacting, but the look on the families face was just creepy.



The new game has perks that a Hippie like me can be happy about because they are utilizing renewable energy utilities. But what do you think.

Christian Sister

BEAUTIFUL CHRISTIAN SISTER
by Maya Angelou

A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ
that a man should have to seek Him first to find her.'
When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not shouting 'I'm clean livin''
I'm whispering 'I was lost, Now I'm found and forgiven.'
When I say... 'I am a Christian' I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide.
When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak and need His strength to carry on.
When I say.. 'I am a Christian' I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed and need God to clean my mess.
When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible but, God believes I am worth it.
When I say... 'I am a Christian' I still feel the sting of pain..
I have my share of heartaches, so I call upon His name.
When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner Who received God's good grace, somehow!
Pretty is as Pretty does... but beautiful is just plain beautiful!

National talk like a pirate day

So my friend Ernie Holmes was twittering like mad about how today is talk like a Pirate day, and all the cool stuff to do online to day. So I went to google and searched the word pirate and came across a link to find out what my Pirate name would be quiz, and the results are....

My pirate name is:

Captain Grace Bonney

Even though there's no legal rank on a pirate ship, everyone recognizes you're the one in charge. You can be a little bit unpredictable, but a pirate's life is far from full of certainties, so that fits in pretty well. Arr!

I have always loved pirates, I can trace my ancestry to a Pirate, and as Captain on Deck for Treasure Island Preschool Ministry I get to dress like a Pirate. So today is so my day to enjoy the Pirateyness of it all!! I hope get to enjoy some random dose of Pirateyness today too, Arrgghhh!!!!


this song is funny, a bit slow, and the pics are kind dumb, but hey its all in today's spirit.

School Books

Today (I hope) I bought my last school book for the semester. I have bought a book for every class but 1. That never happens to me. I usualy only have to buy my Math book and like 1 other book. I only have to buy my own books, because I am blessed with a mother who pays for my tuition. And after the first semester of school I have bought ALL my books online because I can get them redicuously cheaper. Book hunting isn't always fun, but it is always worth the price you pay. I have spent the past 2 weeks shopping and waiting. I am only excited about my Ethics book, because thats the only book I intend on using in my everyday "real" life. Not so much my Understanding Art book, or (sorry IE) my History book. All the classes I am taking this semester I plan on learning from them and taking knowledge beyond the classroom, but I plan on selling/donating all my other books.

Does anyone who has finished college still hold onto their college books?? and do you really ever think, let alone read them any more??

Twilight

So some of you kknow that for the past 5 days I have been OBSESSING over a series of books that start off with the book Twilight. I read Twilight (498pgs) in less than 40 hrs, and then read the next book in the series New Moon (563pgs) in less time. I am a reader by nature, but I am more into these books than I was with Harry Potter.




What are these books about you might ask?? Well its from an average teenage girl's perspective of moving from sunny Phoenix, AZ with her mom to raninyForks, WA with her dad. She starts a new high school where a family of teenage vampires go to school. She ends up being the true love of one the greek god looking vampire boys. They learn to over come their differences, like him not being able to going out into direct sunlight, and the fact that she smells like the most tasty thing he has ever smelled in his 100 year existance.

I know that some of you think I am being cheesy, but really guys its a great read. I love to read, and there aren't many books that I obsess over, and this one is a must read for any woman who wants to be loved to her most deepest core.
