Salvation

Salvation 

Salvation is when you are saved from sin and God has saved you. Some say that when you sin you lose salvation. I don't believe that because, Ephesians 1:13 says "If you have salvation you shall not lose it." I believe that if you ask Jesus for salvation he shall grant it! In some places people compare salvation to the gates to heaven. I hope that everyone can gain salvation.  

It is important to really serve God. If you love Him, you will obey Him. I came to know God at church when I was five. I felt very special that day. Knowing I had God in my heart felt good. I wanted to know God more and more. We started doing devotions and I loved it. I want you to get to know God more! Ask someone to pray for you. After, you should try devotions. I hope you gain salvation.           

Hebrews 7:25

Therefore he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them.

Thankfulness

Thankfulness 

Thankfulness is is when you feel blessed over something that has happened. That is why we celebrate Thanksgiving. We are blessed that the Indians were there to help us when we had no food. Thre is a verse in the bible that talks about thankfulness.

Psalm 100:4

Enter his gates with thanksgiving,
    and his courts with praise!
    Give thanks to him; bless his name!

Some things I am thankful for include:

1. My family
2. My dog Taco
3. God
4. The wonderful food my mom makes
5. The bible 
6. Happiness 

Courtship

Courtship

      My mom recently told me about courtship and I thought it was neat. Courtship is a period where a couple's relationship may proceed to marriage. During courtship, a couple will get to  know each other and decide if there will be marriage. A couple will also do courtship if they believe God is leading them to marriage. I  believe  that my future husband shall love the Lord and other things before I can continue with marriage. I want to make sure that my husband will help me grow in my faith and not drive me away from Jesus. I am hoping and praying for the man to come into my life. Knowing that God has a plan, I will be looking for the man God would want me with.    

      

The Important Letter

The important Letter 

     I, who was just a girl, was riding my horse, Dusty as fast as I could to deliver this letter. I was delivering this letter to the president! So far I was in the forest because I had been traveling for a long time. He was very fast which made it windy. I didn't know what the letter was for but I knew it was important. Dusty had started to go fast and I fell of! 

      I fell into a very deep river! I had held the letter up out of the water so it wouldn't get wet. I had realized that there was a guard. Luckily he was turned around so I drifted along the river. Suddenly the guard turned around and spotted me! I swam as fast as I could trying to spot my horse. Then I saw dusty behind the blueberry bushes. I quickly jumped out of the river and saddled onto dusty.

     Then I arrived at the white house. The president had been  waiting for me. I gave the letter and apologized for being late. I had told him about the journey tho the white house and he told me I was very brave. He told me the letter was the Bill of Rights. I was shocked because if I lost it we would not have the freedom of lots of things! The president had told me that I get an award. I  received a gold medal and I rode home. I was very pleased of my accomplishments              

 

Caring for the Colonists

Caring for Colonist 

Colonist had trouble realizing what caused sickness because they didn't have medicine. Most the the time they thought that sickness had been caused by spells. They made homemade remedies. Some of the remedies were made out of herbs. One of the remedies was so smelly that it was called the devil's dung. There were no hospitals and very few doctors. Mothers that had babies who were teething put a necklace of wolf teeth  around their necks. It helps with pain. When they had a fever they would do bloodletting. They would cut the veins and let blood flow out even if could be fatal. They believed in it so much that if a doctor couldn't show up they would do it themselves. Caring for colonists was very dangerous.      

       

Important Laws

Important Laws 

Law and order was important to the colonists. They had strict laws and harsh punishments if they broke one. People could be heavily fined for lying, calling names, or back talking. Once a man spoke badly of the governor. His tongue was punctured and he was banished from the community. Some people tried to be be placid.  Criminals were hanged and whipped because of their crimes. People who passed would throw mud and rotten food at them. A man who stole just a spoon could be hanged. Women, who talked back, would be dunked in a public tank. Children who whispered would have a stick shoved in their mouths. Law and order was important in the colonial times.  

Parakeets

Parakeets

Parakeet cages come in all shapes and sizes. Some look like furniture, some are simply practical. After deciding what important features you want included in your parakeet's new home you will want to shop for the type of cage that fits your preferences, decor and budget

.Fresh Fruits & Vegetables

In an effort to create a healthy diet for your budgie, it is recommended that you offer fresh fruits and vegetables daily. Spinach leaves, carrot, kale, broccoli, apple (no seeds!), and banana are examples of some of the foods parakeets often love to eat. All fruits and vegetables should be free of pesticides and thoroughly washed. Discard uneaten fresh food daily. Depending on your climate, some fresh foods should be removed within an hour or two to avoid harmful bacterial growth.

Now you can encourage your budgie to step up onto your finger. To do this, gently lift up on their lower chest near their feet. By reflex, they will step up onto your finger. Say "Up" or some other word that you will use whenever you want them to get onto your finger. Don't be discouraged if they immediately jump or fly off. Let your bird know how proud you are that they were so brave. Repeat again each day until they are comfortable resting on your finger to eat their treat.

Food and water bowls should be washed daily using mild dish soap. Rinse thoroughly and dry their food bowls before adding fresh food. Better yet, have an extra set of food bowls so you will have dry ones ready to use each day. Change the paper at the bottom of the cage and wipe off any perches and items in the cage that have droppings.

Oddly enough, parakeets are often more active than larger parrots. They like to romp and play, spread their wings and fly from perch to perch. You will want to purchase the largest cage possible, one that fits your budget as well as the space available in your home.
It is recommended that your bird's cage should be at least 18'W x 14"D x 22"H but preferably larger. If you do choose a large cage, make sure it is suitable for budgies.

 

Profound Beliefs

Profound Beliefs

   In the New England Colonies, life centered around the church because of their beliefs. The highly advanced Bible was their guide and they expected the children to read the Bible several times. On Sunday, everyone attended church, which was called the meetinghouse, to build their faith. However, families were not allowed to sit together. Husbands sat on one side while women and children sat on the other side. Serves was usually 2-5 hours long, in both the A.M. and P.M. They had a cunning watchman, who was called a tithing-man, discovered people who were misbehaving. Adults who fell asleep were tickled and kids who misbehaved  received a bop on the head. Anyone caught smiling or whispering would be reported and fined. No one was allowed to leave until the pastor and wife left. Sunday was a long day devoted to proudly worshiping our great and glorious God.  The beliefs of the colonists shaped their life in a profound way!

The Unknown Shot 

    In 1775, in Lexington, Massachusetts, there was a farmer named Eli and he had a wife Lily. His village had always been placid until King Jason and his soldiers arrived. One day, Eli came home from working in the fields saying, "Taxes,Taxes,Taxes on everything! What is King Jason ,who like taxes, thinking.?! Those Redcoats are everywhere because he wants money! We need to bravely store up our arms and prepare for war." 

         

   "Do you really think this will lead to war?", Lily who is calm said. "I hope there isn't war. The King is taking our rights. so war is imperative.

     They finally found out that the redcoats were trying to steal their arms. Eli was very furious about this. That night he saw Paul Revere because Paul was warning him of the eminent danger. 

     "Hurry Eli!" He said. "The redcoats are coming." Eli knew this this meant the redcoats were going to Concord. "We need to stop the redcoats from getting our arms because we can't fight without them.

     The other villagers, who were ready to fight,  had guns. They were ready to fight. "Do not fire unless they fire." Eli claimed, "but if they mean war let it begin. The gravity of the situation is more than I can imagine ."

        

      As he was talking, a shot rang out. Then more shots began to ring. So the war started with a bang. It violently began the revolutionary war. No one knew who fired the first shot, but that first shot was all it took!

The Boston tea party

The Boston Tea Party

In 1773, the Boston Harbor was crowded with colonist. Ten-year-old Paul was one of them. He was there because his older brother, who belonged to the Son of Liberty, declared something really exciting was going to happen. He knew it had something to do with the tea on the ships. He was eager to find out.

      Paul thought about what his father had claimed. Colonist were furiously refusing to buy tea because England putting tax on it. They did not believe England had the right to tax them. The British coaxed England to take it back. But the Royal Governor of Boston , who was in charge,would not let the ship sail back to England. He said the Kings orders must be obeyed, and the tea must be unloaded by December 16. That was tonight.

Suddenly, the crowd began to stir. Then about one-hundred "Indians" cut through. They were carrying axes. Paul was appalled. As they passed Paul saw they weren't really Indians at all. They were the Sons of Liberty,who were dressed like Indians, had their faces were rubbed with soot and and painted with red and blue stripes. They finally reached the ship and started chopping open boxes because they didn't want to pay taxes. The crowd watched as smashed boxes fell into the ocean. The crowd began to cheer and chant "Rally Indians". The Sons of Liberty said " Bring your axes, Tell King George we'll pay no taxes. Paul knew King George would understand this message.

       

The Boston Massacre

The Boston Massacre 

It was a cold bleak day in a town on Kingstreet. John and Hugh, who were British soldiers, were standing guard on Kingstreet. They were anxious because they knew there were many colonist. They claimed the colonists were mean. The colonist were mad at King George because he had indignant laws and taxes. The soldiers had been harassing the colonists. They nervously watched the streets.

         It wasn't long before colonist came to provoke the soldiers. Hugh,who rushed over to help, got so angry he hit a colonist in the face with the butt of his gun. He let out a cry and an angry mob of colonists rushed over. Captain Prescott sent several soldiers over to maintain order, but this only made the mob more angry. They began throwing ice chunks, sticks, and clubs and they were viciously yelling "KILL THEM". 

          It got more and more perilous until a club hit a soldier. He responded by quickly firing his musket into the mob. Several soldiers panicked and started firing into the mob. Several colonists were  hit before the mob bolted away. Five of those hit were killed. More trouble was inevitably to come.

My memories

My Memories  

As I went through these pictures, I started to wish they would happen all over again. I remember the time when I went to church camp, all by myself for the first time. I also remember when I went  conuing with grandpa. I was not having a good day. I got three leeches. I also went to golf with my best friend Boston. We always hit our balls the  farthest.       

Dancing in the Breeze

            

The Dancing Tribe

 Their hair bounces in the breeze as their eyes spot the horizon. 

They sing with the tribe while their arms fly in the sky. 

While they wiggle to the dance, their feet thump to the beat. 

They rarely ever frown. 

They always remember to have fun, while they dream of hunting for deer and fishing in the clear, blue streams.  

They are Native Americans.
