I Can't Come Up with a Cool Title Like My Mom, So This is My Title

10/4/2010

Helloooo, everyone!! :) Hope y'all had a great weekend!!  Sorry I haven't been posting very often... I was actually going to post a few days ago, and I started, but I didn't have time to finish because it was Noah's turn to go on the computer.  Anyway, yesterday we had a great time at church, at lunch with out friends, and at Hershey!  Like my mom mentioned, our friends' church was phenomenal!!  The message was great - the pastor preached about the books of the apostle John - he introduced to the church what he was going to teach about from yesterday to Easter (with a break for Christmas): "That's LIFE!"  His three points yesterday were:  "Why the Gospel, John? - Getting John's Purpose", "Why 'the Word', John? - Deciphering John's Prologue", and "Why 'that's Life,' John? - Sharing John's Passion".  It was really good.  Oh, and what was kind of cool was that he read through John 1:1-18, and Nathan and I had memorized together John 1:1-14.

After church, we went to a place called Friendly's - similar to Denny's - with our friends for lunch.  We had a good time there.  As all eight of us walked out, I caught Mom's attention and quickly suggested, "Ask them about a picture - and if we can put it and their names on the blog!"  Her face lit up and she said, "Oh - yeah!  Let's get a picture for our blog - is it okay with you two if we put it on the blog?  'Cause, you know, some people -"  She was cut off by a chorus of 'yesses', 'that's fine's', and 'over here's'. She managed to ask, "Nicole did you bring your camera?"  I replied somewhat disappointedly, "Nope."  My dad held up his camera phone, and Mom eagerly snatched it up, while directing us over in front of the 'Great Ice Cream!' sign.  "I'll take the picture," Dad told her. "You look a whole lot better than I do!"  We laughed and Mom protested, but it didn't take but a few seconds for her to hand it over and come next to us.  "Say, 'that ice cream was really good'!" Dad said, and we repeated it after him. "Say, 'maybe that ice cream wasn't so good'!"  Noah burst out laughing, and Dad snapped the picture, which is now on my mom's blog.  Technology's wonderful, ain't it? :)  BTW, that ice cream really was good.

The Chocolate Factory was fun, too.  Not to be ungrateful or anything, but actually, it was a little bit of a letdown.  There wasn't much there - and what was there was mostly for little kids.  In my opinion, the tour at the U.S. Mint was better - not because it was money, just because it was more interesting.  I think browsing in the gift shop was actually my favorite at the Chocolate Factory, even though I don't really enjoy shopping.  Oh, and we didn't go to Hershey Park because it would have cost about $75 for us kids to go - Nathan, me, Noah, Nicholas, and, of course, Dad.  Hey, he's a kid at heart. :)

Well, my mom is telling me I need to wrap it up - wow!  It's already noon!  This day has flown.  I woke up at about 8 AM, rested for a while, did my quiet time outside with two jackets on (it was quieter out there - and I saw a bunny rabbit! It was so cute!), ate breakfast, did my chore, and here I am!  Wow.  If you've been in our RV, picture this: I'm sitting on the couch next to Dad, who is 'looking at juicers' on his phone, Noah is up on the bunk reading, and Mom's in the back on the bed with her computer, Nathan, and Nicholas.  :)  Nathan is totally psyched about his new bike!  Nicholas is going to get his old one, because his bike got ruined when the bumper on the Tow Dolly wheel flew up and bent his bike.  So it all works out.

Sorry if I bored you... I like to talk/type, can you tell? :) God bless y'all!

Cash Cab and Thought from God

9/28/2010

Hello, everyone!  We are in....(drumroll, please)....Comfort Suites!!!  We're watching Cash Cab on the TV here - have you ever watched it before?  It's pretty cool.  These three people just doubled their $400 dollars for a total of $800.  They're happy, and so am I!!  We just came from the indoor pool, but only Noah and Nathan went in.  I sat on the side with Nicholas and Mom while Dad...uh...I don't know exactly where Dad was or what he was doing.  :)  Anyway, we four kids are in our room (we got two rooms, one for the kids and one for our parents), I sprawled out on one bed, the three boys crowded onto the other.  I guess I scared them or something.... oops.  Oh, well.

I meant to mention this earlier, but I forgot.  A few days ago, I was really, really hungry, dinner was ready, but we were waiting on Dad and Nicholas to get back from wherever they were (I forget).  I asked Mom why we didn't go ahead and eat, and she said she wasn't going to try to work with the messy kitchen counter right then, and we would just wait until they got back.  So, mainly because I was SO hungry, I started to clean up the counter.  As I was doing it, I had this rare moment of enlightenment, obviously from God, in which I thought, "Hey, this is how God wants us to obey Him.  I mean, He wants us to be hungry - really, really, hungry - for Him, and to work to clean up our act and start obeying Him, no matter what happens, no matter what He says, no matter how hard it is."

Well, I'm sorry if this blog didn't make very much sense in some places...I'm trying to blog and watch the TV at the same time, and it's not working out so well.  God bless!!
