Distractions

"Mom, Ms. Jenkinson LOADED me with homework today. I am never going to get all of this done!"
School can easily distract us. Distract us from what? From God, of course. God is knocking on your heart right now - "Hello? Anybody home?" - and all you care about is school. I'm not saying school isn't important, but God is more important. He created learning, so you should at least spend 10 minutes a day talking to him.

"Watching TV is lots of fun. I have six favorite shows that I watch back to back to back every night."
Every night? What else could you do every night? Spend time with God, maybe?

"I really wish I could be like those girls on the cover of fashion magazines. They are so skinny and beautiful...I'm nothing like them."
Yes, you are! God didn't just throw you together. He wanted you to look the way you do. If you are complaining that you aren't skinny or beautiful enough, you are telling God that what he did isn't right...and it is.

Disneyland!!!

Jordan's List of What to Pack for Disneyland:
- Bible (to read, of course!)
- Nintendo DS (to play on the drive down - eight hours)
- Lots of Clothes (we're staying for five days)
- Lotion (I sometimes have dry hands)

I am so excited about going to Disneyland! I have already been asked to ride California Screamin', Space Mountain, and Orange Stinger. I'll try to ride those...try to get my courage up... :-)
Any more ride requests?
Take the poll on what Disneyland ride is the scariest!

This is going to be a short post because it is just a me-getting-used-to-blogging thing. Anyway...I'll post more in a few seconds!
