No!<br /><br />People take freedom for granted. Freedom is not, "Doing what I want to do." It is "Doing what <strong>God</strong> wants me to do." Freedom is priceless.Nephoshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06293900899142207084noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5413522720359135773.post-16274823627868534142007-02-01T10:33:00.000-05:002007-02-01T10:48:24.360-05:00The NativityButtered popcorn and the aroma of adventure. I was sitting on the edge of my seat watching The Nativity. The background music was Christmas Christian music. <br /><br />Every now and then, a hawk would appear. After the hawk, an angel would appear and deliver a message from God. The star of Jesus was actually three stars in one! <br /><br />It might be too late to watch the Nativity in theaters, but don't worry. It will beout on DVD soon.Nephoshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06293900899142207084noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5413522720359135773.post-84340359861196910842006-12-07T23:04:00.000-05:002006-12-07T23:09:28.638-05:00A Word to Live by: Dependability"The best ability is dependability."<br /><br />When you are dependable, you are working hard without being watched. Even when your teacher is out of your classroom, you can still work hard.<br /><br />Some of God's promises are:<br />*Never flooding the world again.<br />*The second coming.<br />*God will never leave us.<br /><br />God has lots of promises and keeps every one.

George was born in 1861 to a slave family owned by Moses Carver. He lived in Diamond Grove, Missouri. When George was an infant, his father was killed and his mother was stolen. Mr. Carver raised George as his own son. <br /><br />As a child, he loved to paint and used plants for his supplies. At ten years old, George left home to go to school. Because he loved plants, his art teacher encouraged him to study them at college. He later taught at Tuskegee Institute where he found many uses for the sweet potato and peanut. This helped the South to have healthy crops that they could sell. One of George's greatest discoveries was crop rotation, a method of planting different crops each year in order to have the best soil. <br /><br />George Carver died in 1943. He had been a loyal, hardworking friend to the South who overcame many hardships to become the man he was.<br /><br />You can find more information about George Washington Carver and Tuskegee Institute here:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.nps.gov/archive/gwca/expanded/gwc.htm">George Washington Carver</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.tuskegee.edu/Global/story.asp?S=1070392">Tuskegee University</a><br /><br />And here's a really cool site for kids with activity pages about Mr. Carver:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.usda.gov/oo/colorbook.htm">Carver Coloring and Activity Book</a>Nephoshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06293900899142207084noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5413522720359135773.post-53772737704802664132006-11-03T10:29:00.000-05:002006-11-03T10:46:54.747-05:00NFL Favorite Team Predictions<a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger2/6685/660830410200089/1600/NFL1.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger2/6685/660830410200089/320/NFL1.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">I enjoy NFL football. My favorite teams are the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Green Bay Packers, and the Atlanta Falcons. This Sunday Pittsburgh is playing Denver, Green Bay is at Buffalo, and Atlanta is at Detroit. I think all three have a good chance of winning, but Pittsburgh has a tough game before them.<br /><br />Who is YOUR favorite NFL team playing this weekend, and what is your prediction for the game?<br /><br /></span><a href="http://scoreboards.aol.com/football/nfl/schedule.aspx#week9"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Week 9 Schedule (Nov. 5)</span></a>Nephoshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06293900899142207084noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5413522720359135773.post-9275323789602607742006-10-27T20:07:00.000-04:002006-10-27T20:31:47.961-04:00The Home of our First President<a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger2/6685/660830410200089/1600/Mount%20Vernon.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger2/6685/660830410200089/320/Mount%20Vernon.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.mountvernon.org/">Mount Vernon</a> was the home of our first president, George Washington, for forty years. George Washington was a great military leader. His house is visited by thousands of people every year. It is located above the Potomac River.<br /><br />My favorite part of my visit was seeing a wild osprey. I also enjoyed the beautiful Potomac River. I think that people interested in history should visit there.Nephoshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06293900899142207084noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5413522720359135773.post-21316150886275351722006-10-27T16:18:00.000-04:002006-10-27T16:19:16.925-04:00My Dad<div align="center"><strong>My Dad</strong></div><div align="center"></div><br /><div align="center"><strong></strong></div><div align="center">If you don't mind my saying,</div><div align="center">I think dads are the best.</div><div align="center">And I think my Dad is better than all the rest!<br /></div><div align="center"></div><div align="center"></div><br /><div align="center">He's kind, he's fun, and he loves to run!</div><div align="center"></div><br /><div align="center">My Dad plays catch with me,</div><div align="center">as you can see,</div><div align="center">he likes me, he loves me.</div><div align="center"></div><div align="center"></div><br /><div align="center">He shows me his life,</div><div align="center">There is no better Dad!</div><div align="center"></div><div align="center"></div>Nephoshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06293900899142207084noreply@blogger.com3
