Well even though you can't tell in New York, Christmas is just around the corner! Christmas is a week from tomorrow and theres no snow here in Lafayette. Some people are happy(the rest of my family) but as for me, I'd rather have a white Christmas. But I'm doing pretty well accepting the fact. I've realized  that people get way to wrapped up in whats not important about Christmas. They believe more in santa, snow, decorations, and especially presents! I, as a 12 year old know how hard it is not to get too wrapped up in those things but I always remember that Christmas is about the birth of Jesus Christ. He wasn't just some man that was born and could heal people. Jesus was a man that lived to die, was sent to save us from our sins. Even though that sounds more like Easter than Christmas, it is part of Christmas. The other night a couple of my friends and I were listinging to a song called Amazing Love on youtube. The video portion of the song was a short clip from the movie Passion of the Cross. This movie is about the death of Jesus and the ressurection. As a tear rolled down our faces while watching this, I looked at our Christmas tree, knowing that I was full of sin that Jesus never had. I as a Christan feel it important to tell others about Jesus and being a better Christian in my walk with Christ. This year, when your opening presents with your family, don't forget the real meanting of CHRISTmas!

Memorial Day

A very important day has come again. That day is Memorial Day. Memorial Day is a day to honor those who died fighting in the war as soldiers. I have a brother that was in Iraq so soldiers are even more important to me than they were before he went. I wrote an essay for school on Memorial Day. I won first place in the contest out of about 62 kids. They will be reading it at the end of the parade on Monday at the LaFayette Vetrans Cemetary. I strongly encourage you to go and listen to it be read. I will recieve a 100 dollar savings bond. I'm really happy that I won of course but I know that what I wrote about means more and that people knowing the real meaning is way more important. So this year when Memorial Day comes, remember, Memorial Day is sooo important that we really need to remember the reason we have it and that is to remember, honor, and love those who fought, fought hard, lived and died, for the United States of America!

30 Hour Famine 2011: Love Hungry

30 hour famine



At my church, I'm going to be doing a 30 hour famine with my youth group. We wont eat for 30 hours. Of course we will have juice and stuff but no food. We are going to raise money for the kids who dont get a lot of food. Kids die every 10 seconds due to hunger. We are going to send the money to them for food. We were not made to starve so why should we. We get more than enough food and some kids don't get enough. I can't wait to see how much money i can raise, not for me, but for the kids!



we will not eat, we will give, we will love hungry!



We will not eat for our glory, but for the ones who starve day and night!

John 14:6

I want to make Jesus known around the world. I want to be able to meet people and maybe not meet them agaain on Earth but in Heaven! John 14:6, "I am the way and the truth and the  life, nobody comes to the father except through me." That is Jesus talking. It means that the only way you can go to Heaven is to be saved. Well, what does saved mean? Saved means you trust the LORD Jesus to be your savior, that he died on the cross to save our sins.
1. read your bible
2.pray
3.ask others
4.go to church
5.be saved through Christ Jesus

Well, the play

I found out my part in the play. I am an advertizer. I do all the comercials which is part of the play this is what the play is about


Is Ever After really as happy as everyone expected? In a hilarious parody of daytime TV, host Sally Lizzie Jesse Donatello-Griffin (or Monterey Jack Chesterfield Williamson — you pick the gender) wonders if time truly heals all wounds. She invites Cinderella and her middle-aged “beauty-impaired” stepsisters to reconcile with each other after being estranged for 20 years. What about Snow White and the Evil Queen? This hysterical fractured fairy tale has it all: a trash-talking clairvoyant mirror, an unfortunate prince who is turning slowly back into a frog and even Jiminy Cricket — now an occupational therapist and author of the book My Life as Your Conscience. The musical is punctuated by questions from obnoxious studio audience members and ridiculously funny infomercials for fairy tale related products, such as the Practical Princess Crown (which doubles as a purse and makeup case). Get ready for some knee-slapping and hand-clapping with great foot-tapping songs like "Beauty Impaired" and "Dainty Do-Gooder"!

It is a talk show and I do the comercials with 2 other people. I have a pretty good part. I do a lot of silent acting, such as being a princess! Even though I didn't get a solo, which I was hoping for, I got a different solo, I am doing a NYSSMA solo. NYSSMA stands for  New York State School Music Association. I sing in front of a judge and they tell me what I need to work on. I am also doing it for the clarinet. Last year I did it on the clarinet and got a 28/28! I'm praying that I do this year too!
