yep, worship time was “special” today with the kids at church:)
“the making of a man” – by tim brown – NFL great – wonderful book about the decisions guys have to make in life – and the ways men can be led astray – or blessed – because of those choices – I grew up watching Brown with notre dame and with the raiders so it was a great read – and would be good for my sport-ish guys in seventh/eighth grade
“this star won’t go out” – by esther earl – every kid that reads “fault in our stars” should read this book – I’m about convinced every kid period should read the book – earl passed away at 16 with cancer – and while that might seem a “downer,” it’s a reality that none of us get a life of all sunshine and rainbows – life is what we make of it – and I was struck that her father said given the option of knowing her for 16 years or not, you’d take those 16 years – and so yes, a young death is terrible, but it makes you realize better that time is scarce – and we should make the most of it – like spending our time blogging:)
I think lilBri already has more insightful blogging time than several sixth graders that will go unnamed – not to mention a couple of seventh and eighth graders

I’m reading about Lincoln and his sons and I’m to the part where its talking about a slave that served Abraham Lincoln and it was a woman and she had been set free so she was just his assistant and no his slave and she had gotten freed for 1500 dollars which obviously was a ripoff since they could buy slaves for just a couple years but she worked for the person she freed until she. Ad up her debt
Ok so here are my blogs…
“A love poem”
Once upon a time
There was a girl, a
Very pretty girl (purple hair)
And she loved a boy,
A very ugly boy,
Wait…how would this happen u might ask?
Well
It all started when
The girls vision (her name was Elizibeth)
Was changed by the evil dr Maf
And soon the next thing she saw was the
Red head donkey of a boy…
And she loved him…from then on.
*crowd gasps*
But who would defeat
The evil dr Maf?
We’ll there was a stunning knight
From the kingdom of Birmingham.
And his name was Charles…
He came riding on a mo-ped
From the east
Very slowly…
Very very very slowly…
*mo-ped sound brr brrr brrrr*
Elizabeth saw the knight
And she gasped…
Her vision was cleared and
She ran towards the mo-ped…
And ran…
And ran…and ran…
*brr brrr brrrr*
And ran…until she met Charles,
A random guy going to the
Nearest piggly wiggly.
To be continued…
They dont suspect me yet, there is always friday
Who is the co detective?
I’m reading In the Heart of the Sea. It is pretty good so far. It it about the tragedy of the whaleship Essex. The book takes place through a fourteen year old boy named Thomas Nickerson. Nickerson is being employed aboard the Essex, and he is preparing for his first sea voyage ever. He enjoys being on the ship for about five minutes and then he is put immediately to work, which is funny because he was all excited about going to sea but he was given the worst jobs.
Co-Detective would be Princess Sarah Nicole. Billy, you have always ben a suspect, but Fred has a criminal record.
Potato potato potato hey hey potato
I have nothing to do so you guys get a potato song
Does anyone know how the science fair is going?
Where is the new blog?
Well I’m still reading the Grimm Legacy and it seems to be getting better and better after every page. In my last blog (if it got posted) I talked (typed ) about how Elizabeth gets a job at the library. While she’s there, she does a lot of things, like going to get items for employees and people who want to see them, but strange things begin to happen, like items disappearing and people acting strange and lots of other odd things. She questions and thinks a lot about everything but still can’t manage to understand everything. (TO BE CONTINUED)
