About me.

Hello!

My name's Alyssa, and I've returned to Home School Blogger. I used to have an account a year or two ago, but I forgot about it in the rush of things.

My birthday was 2 days ago, I'm now 16 years old. For my birthday, my mother and grandmother took me away for two and a half days at a nearby hotel, where we did a bunch of fun things. I really missed all my brothers and sisters, though. [I'm the oldest of 7! including my two cousins that are living with us right now, though. They're my sisters while they live here, to me.] I find swimming with two elderly women [my grandmother and great-aunt] isn't really that much fun, unless I want to do water aerobics.  Plus, I'm used to playing "Marco, Polo" and games like that in our pool with my siblings.

I have created a blog here with the interest of discussing and debating "hot topics" with other Christians. I've also done a year of speech and debate and made it to Regionals with my partner Michael. I did team policy, and we debated on the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation, better know to the world as NATO.

For my birthday, I got a guitar, and I'm learning with a DVD that came with it. I know the E, D, and A power chords, and I know the E and A major triads so far. I'm already having lots of fun making up my own songs.

It's too bad Texas is all rainy this week and next, our 4th of July won't be very much fun. I wonder if they'll still be able to shoot of fireworks in the rain?

I own my own website that I built with the coding languages PHP, MySQL, HTML, and CSS, and it's called "Dragon Dynasty". It's a simulation website where you can own your own dragons, battle them, show them, feed/play with/take care of/breed alot of dragons, and on my website I've added a "Debate" forum for children over the ages of 13. I find it disappointing the small amount of Christians willing to defend their faith in a public forum, and even more disappointing the amount of Christians who willingly acknowledge their faith, but then say they agree with things of the world.

I've been a Christian for most of my life, but only for the last three years have I truly been living a Christian life and furthering my faith. I attended Calvary church's "Hell House", which frightened me, and opened my eyes to the evils of this world, and how good God is.

That's it for today- I think tomorrow I will discuss evolution.

I think it's pretty cool that you are asking hard questions and that you are challenging your peers to defend the faith. Don't give up, or get disappointed, keep pushing and prodding and poking.
