There is a Narration this Day...

Posted in Narrations

I am going to tell you about a martyr whose name was Richard Cameron:

There once was a king called Charles II and at the moment I am going to tell you of he is fuming.  He has just come to the end of a chase through a marsh in Scotland. He is an English king and he rules at this point over all of Scotland.  Just across the mud there stands a band of not more than sixty-five men that are not armed. You can imagine the contrast as shiny armor meets farm cloths. The splendor of polished armor versus the dullness of everyday shirts. But there are two dead men that stand out.  They are the two Cameron brothers. Two leaders of the puritan church.  A little while ago they arrived from Holland, where they had been hiding.  The king's men did not stop until every puritan person was dead. When the deed was done, they chopped off Richard's head and hands and rode through the streets of London saying," Richard is dead!"  Richard's father was is jail. They came to him and put the head and hands in his lap. They asked if he knew who they belonged to, and he said," They belong to my Richard" and broke down in tears.

The story is a sad one as are many martyr stories.

Today's Narraton...

Posted in Narrations

I  just read Chapter #22 of This Country of Ours which is my history for this year and also keeps on for like a year. But anyway...

After the MAYFLOWER landed in New England the pilgrims got off the little craft and went about setting up a new colony in a cold winter in a new land. But after a while a disease came around and many people got sick and a few died. When winter went and spring came, however,the deadly disease went away. There on the bank of the harbor where they had docked their ship, the little MAYFLOWER was leaving and it was a sad farewell as the little ship sailed away for England.  Then, when the ship sailed out of sight over the horizon the pilgrim fathers went about their daily chores. They had their friendly Indians, their fights with other Indian tribes, but overall they prospered, and eventually became part of modern day Massachusetts.

My New Book

Posted in Daily bread

I am writing a new book, called Back to Earth. In it, a young man called Peter Stevenson invents a futuristic space-ship and heads off into space. Little does he know that he is plunging headlong into the craziest trip of his life. Sounds interesting eh? That's not all, but I don't want to be a story spoiler.

My Apologies,

My er... little kitten...

Posted in Daily bread

Remember My post "My kitten and I..."? Well, she's not a kitten anymore! She's a full-grown cat.  She is much better at getting the "LEAVE ME ALONE!!!!" point across. She has her "just-leave-me-alone" moments, her "just-hangin'-out" moments, and her "I'm-happy-so-I'm-going-to-purr-my-little-head-off" moments . I still think she is as cute as ever and I love her dearly.

Madagascar

On Dec. 2, 2005 we rented Madagascar, and now we own it!  We are very pleased with it.  It is very funny, and we watch it more than any other movie we own(which is at least 30).

Chapter 7-Happy rejoicing

Sam was really a forgotten prince and his country had no ruler of any sort.  His father was killed in a battle between these dragons and his men and Sam wanted revenge.  So he called a counsel of his best men and they agreed on war and that Sam was king.  As soon as Sam's friends heard about it they jumped for joy.

Today's Narration

Pilgrim's Progress

Evangelist reproves Christian for following the counsel of Worldly Wiseman and trying to go to Mr. Legality to "be eased of his burden". And Christian turned back onto the path that Evangelist appointed for him to go to The Wicket-Gate with the lamp hanging on the top.

Timez Attack

Posted in Daily bread

Mom found this game called Timez Attack.  I've played it and it's very neat.  It teaches times tables through an adventure-type form.  You are a little green guy that walks around and comes to all types of doors.  When you walk up to one, a math problem appears on it and the door shoots out little balls.  These balls turn into snails and every time you collect them, they give you the answer to the problem.  Once you collect them all, you throw them back at the door giving you the answer again.  You then type the answer to the problem, which opens the door and an ogre comes out.  He asks you math problems you have already covered in the program.  You are timed for the answer and when you get one wrong or miss the time limit, he shoots you with goo, which will knock you down.

It is a fun game because it is an adventure towards learning your multiplication table.

I hope you will enjoy the game as much as I have.

Chapter 5:The Capture of the Dragons

Posted in Katerazoo

Ten days and ten nights they stood in capture of  the Dragons, which wasn't very pleasant.  They tried to think up ways to get out.  To think that They were such nice people makes me sad.

Chapter 4: 7,000 Dragons!

Posted in Katerazoo

It was the king of the Dragons!  Then, all of the sudden, Sam and all of them jumped!  They now stood before 7,000 more dragons.  They were so frightened that they almost wanted to build a massive fortress right then and there!  Uh,oh...

Movie Gallery Movies

Posted in Daily bread

Just yesterday we rented 4 movies from Movie Gallery and only got to watch 1 last night.  The one we watched was the old "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" that I had only seen bits-and-pieces of.  Hopefuly we can watch the new one, "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.  Then, we'll watch "The Polar Express" and then finally we'll watch "Madagascar".

The COBRA Microtalks

I'm sorry I didn't post this earlier in my blogging expirience, but a few months ago we got 2 Cobra MicroTalks that little man and I were playing with and they are very nice.  We were having a blast walking around talking to each other and dad had to go and tell us, "No more walkie-talkies".  But that was the end of that, because we never, ever, EVER disobey our dad.

The Two Birthday Surprises I Got Were...

Posted in Daily bread

...Very awsome.  The one I explained to everybody a few posts ago turned out to be in Tallahassee.  It was a Sugarland and Brad Paisley concert!  What a wonderful father I have!  And the second was about three days after my birthday when my dad had come back from a business meeting,  and it was, of all things for a very clumsy child, an Armitron watch!It is much more complicated than my old watch and after 3 days of having it I still can't figure out this crazy thing.  It is very frusterating.   I am very grateful for it, and espesially proud of the great parents that I have.
