Every once in a while.....

Ok, so u know the story of our computer....I was really upset!! But, as u also know I've moved to facebook. So if u want to be my friend on facebook, ask cyber_space_cadet swiftbladesintherain, herb_lady or birdflu13 to ask me to request u on facebook, cause u won't be able to request me..... I'm kind of like invisible !!!! :) so anyway.... I can make a post every once in a while from my dads iPhone, like I'm doing now, but not a lot. Missouri is really good, 8th grade isreally hard, all that stuff!!! Ttyl I miss u all!

Sad news...

Abby has asked me via Facebook that she will not be getting on pleonast anymore, as it gives her computer viruses.

This makes us all sad... and I'm sure there will be much mourning. ;)

    This is most interesting. I wonder how that could have been happening.

    Being dragonqueen's grandmother.... here's what I found out. Whenever they get on Pleonast, they start getting a lot of popups. If they increase the protection to prevent the popups, it slows down the computer too much. So.... maybe some of you have a solution. If you do, write me and I'll pass it on to them, not promising that they'll be able to change anything. Meanwhile, find her on FaceBook. She's enjoying that a lot.

GRRR!!!!

I had the most awesome Thanksgiving post, and it was really really long and thoughtful, and it took me like a half hour to write, and then something happened, and i couldn't post it, and stupid me, i forgot to copy the words that i had written, so i lost ALL OF IT!!!!!!!!! it made me so Mad!!!!! I don't have time to write it again, but I'll do a summary. (has that ever happeened to anyone??? its really frustrating!!)
Ok, so anyway, the whole idea of my post was that Thankgsgiving isn't just about food (lol :D) But its about giving thanks and praise to God. He has given us so much.....Whenever we are in difficult times, we need to remember what he HAS given us, not what he has taken away. I can't remember where in the bible it is, but there is a verse that says 'be joyful in all things'.... I really like that. No matter what has happened, we need to remember that God has given us many things; there is always something to be joyful for.
I had two really long quotes from Abraham and Lincoln as well.....it was a really good post.... :( But you got this one...that's something to be joyful for!!!
Happy Thanksgiving!!!
  • joy2u
    Doesn't that make you so upset when that happens!? ugh! But you're right about Thanksgiving not just being about food, it is about praising God and giving thanks like you said. I miss you and love you and wish we could be spending this day together!

just some thoughts....

Matthew 5:13-16- You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall ot be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men. You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.
These words are so true. God put us, as Christians, onto the earth to do his will. If we lose our zeal for the word, how can we do the will of our Father in heaven? Just like if salt is useless, we throw it out.....if we are useless, WE will be thrown out. It's soething we have to keep in mind.
What usually falls buy the wayside; doing your Bible Lesson, or watching your favorite TV show? What do you usually find yourself talking about to your worldly friends; How God loves them, and wants them to be His children, or how good the Cubs are doing in the baseball league? Trust me, I'm as guilty of this as anyone, but it's defintiely something to think about.
When I read a post by her, for example, it brings me back into focus. I thank the Father so much for people like that, who always keep their minds on what we should be doing.
No matter how much peer pressure there is to do things, we need to be 'the light of the world'. when we do something unexpected, like refusing to go to the prom, people may mock you, but they ARE wondering why. And it makes them think. Things like that are what give us the opportunity to bring others to Christ.
....like I said, I am not doing a good job on these things right now....just some thoughts.
