Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

     The title pretty much sums it up. Gaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!
     A flash flood hit my area today, and the bottom floor of part of my family's basement is wet! Part of my Lego collection IS SOAKED!!!!!!!!*weeps uncontrollably*What am I going to do???????
     Consider this a ruined day. Oh well.
     But there is good news! Last Friday, I heard Owl City on the radio, and they were singing "In Christ Alone"!!! It is not my favorite song, but Owl City makes it sound awesome! Check it out!
     So this has been an extremely frenzied post, but I'm so nervous! Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!

What's So Special About My Car?

     So, I was thinking today, and it made me laugh when I thought about it. Why is the back of my car so special? Anyone want a guess? Yes, it has to do with Legos(you should have seen this coming). What makes the back of my car special is that on the school day we have every week, I pack up my creations and show them off at the end of classes. I bring both finished and unfinished projects, special minifigures, and even Lego catalogs and magazines. So, if you go to my school, a heads up to you that if you ever want to see anything I've built, just come to my car after classes.

     I am really tired today. All I want to do is go to take a nappy-poo. But something in me says I need to stay up and be active, so I'm sitting here and making this blog post(the height of active). My sister and brother are going for a walk, but I'm not THAT active today.

     I guess I should go run in circles for a few minutes(a favorite pastime of mine), so that concludes this most epic and amazing blog post. :)

My Day With My Piano Lessons!

     I know, I'm sorry, I haven't posted in a while, but I have been building feverishly on a tank I have now finished! So now that it's finished and out of the way, I thought I might make a blog post.

     So, my day started out by going out for my piano lessons. My sister and brother take lessons as well. We have the most fun teacher in the world! She knows how to make piano fun while learning how to play. After my piano lessons, went to a restaurant we have in town, and we went shopping for a bit before finally coming home.

     That is pretty much what happened today. I would like to throw that I miss all my friends at UCA, and I  hope that I will get some time to see them on Thursday. I don't know how I am going to survive this summer without seeing any of my friends! :( Well, I'll find a way somehow. My sister will probably have some people over this summer, so I will probably see some of the people at UCA this summer.

     I am just obsessed with this tank I built. To see it go to http://buildingwiththebricks.blogspot.com/2011/04/my-new-tank.html. And I haven't mentioned this, go to http://www.mocpages.com/home.php/70925 to see my MOCPages site.

     Bye, guys!

Riddles!!!

Okay, I made up a pretty bad riddle, but I want to see who can solve it. Please forgive my terrible riddle-making.

STOP! Go no farther! This must be solved,

But if you hate riddles, please don't get involved, 

But if you do, sit back and quietly jog your brain,

Otherwise, this riddle will drive you insane.

Now, think of a creature that hunts in the night,

And when it is dark, its eyes shine out bright,

A creature that always attacks its prey's back,

The creature whose muscles will rarely go slack.

A creature that is smart and cunning,

But, when seen, its appearance is stunning,

And, now, this creature lives close to Hong Kong,

But, unlike its fellows, will swim all day long. 

I am extremely sorry, this is a really bad, and a probably stupid sounding riddle, but it is the best I could come up with in five minutes. :)

Testing your skillsssssssssssss.

     So, I am back from church! We had a very good Palm Sunday message. But today I want to talk about what we talked about in our teenage class.

     Today, we talked about how we all have a skill, or gift, that God has given us to use for his glory. It could be compassion, mercy, wisdom, or anything similar that God can use for his glory. I believe that by trusting in God, and believing he can use you, you can do great things through Christ. After all, the Bible says so(Phillipians 4:13). But it made me wonder. Am I using the gifts that God has given me to glorify him and bring people to Christ? If God has given me a gift that not many other people have, then that means that it is my responsibility to make sure that I'm using that gift for his glory. We all have gifts, but are we using them the way God wants us to?

     We also talked about unsaved people. They all have gifts, too, right? But since they are not using them the way God intended(if they are using them at all), does that mean it is really a God-given gift? I compared the gift to a deactivated account, like an e-mail or a Facebook account. Everything is there, but is it used? Only when someone is specifically planning to use it, does it actually become something used and valued. I'm still not sure yet whether there are problems with that analogy................

     But the bottom line of my blog post today is this: are we all, as Christians, using the gifts that God has specifically given us the way he wants them used?

    

Across Tennessee and Apologies :)

     Well, I'm here for another amazing blog post! I'm pretty hyped up because I found out that they are putting a Lego store in Opry Mills when it re-opens in Spring 2012!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!*runs around in circles for a few minutes*This will be the nearest Lego store for 250 miles!!! YAY!!!!!!*runs around in circles for a few more minutes* Ok, anyway, I'm sorry, but I had a real opening blog post, but somehow it was deleted!!!*Dan-da-da-DUH!*And then, I was afraid my account had been hacked in to!!!*Dan-da-da-DUH! But hopefully it wasn't, because then people could post mean things about me! At least I don't have THAT many mortal enemies. Oh well.

     So, today, me and my church distributed around 600 packets to people in our area, inviting them to our church for Easter Sunday! It always feels good to do something for the Lord! OW!!!! OW, OW, OWWWWWW!!!! I just banged my hip on the side of the desk!!!!! OW!!!!!!! Wow, that hurts. Sorry for that rude interruption.

     Anyway, I hope we get a bunch of people to come to our church so our Dad can preach the Word to them! Everyone needs to hear about God, of course, and I'm sure that a few of those packets will be thrown away before people can read them, but hopefully, some will decide to come to church, and maybe even give their lives to the Lord!!! YAY FOR MERCY FROM GOD!!!!*runs around in circles for a full fifteen minutes*I am so happy that God didn't turn his back on us, when we turned our backs on him!!!!

     Well, Hannah is laughing at me for hitting my hip on the desk, so I need to go and give her a piece of my mind! Bye, Guys! :)

     

So.....................

     So................................ Pretty much a normal Friday for me. Finished school, looked out the window, ran in circles for a few minutes, watched a movie, and then, of course, built with some Legos!

     I haven't mentioned this, at least not on this blog, but I am CRAZY about Legos! My life practically revolves around the little bricks. I buy Lego with every cent I have, I build usually more than one hour a day, and it is pretty much all I talk about. Just thought you might wanna know, because I have a whole other blog devoted to Lego, and because it will probably be mentioned on this one a pretty good bit.

     Right now, I'm debating over whether to go to bed at 6:00 or stay up all night. I'll probably go with the first one, because I haven't gotten a lot of sleep lately. 

     So................................. This has been a boring blog post. I'm sorry that you had to waste your time. :)
