Series of Posts Part 2
A few weeks ago we went to see the Blue Angels, and the day after that we went on a trip to Washington D.C. The Blue Angels were awesome, breathtaking, and basically AMAZING! It was a lot of fun watching them and all their tricks. Washington D.C. was cool too. We went to the Smithsonian, saw the Capitol, the Washington Monument, and the Lincoln Memorial. It was all neat and very cool to see. Here is the slideshow-

Explanation
Okay the reason I have the exact same music and template as hatepink is because I was trying to help him get his up in the right place, and in order to do that I had to see where it was supposed to go on the template....just so you know....lol.

I will not be on for a week or two. I have a lot of school, music, and other responsibilities right now, and it is getting more and more difficult to find time to post and be on HSB, but I hope to return soon. For those of you who asked for templates, I am really sorry it has taken me so long, and if you want, you may want to switch. I would reccomend NarniaGirl and JocelynDixon, who also have template making blogs. Pm me and let me know what you decide to do please.

Finished and Taking a Small Break
I am officially finished with Ebell1993's template. What do you all think? Any suggestions, comments, or anything is appreciated. There are a few other templates I will begin working on, and then I will be taking a 2-3 week break from template making. School has put blogging on the back-burner, and I need some time to reorganize my priorities and such. In the meantime, if there are any requests for ones to be done in a few weeks, let me know and I will get back to you on when I can make them for you. God bless everyone.

A Story Worth Reading
"The Room"
. In that place between wakefulness and dreams, I found myself in the room. There were no distinguishing features save for the one wall covered with small index-card files. They were like the ones in libraries that list titles by author or subject in alphabetical order. But these files, which stretched from floor to ceiling and seemingly endlessly in either direction, had very different headings. As I drew near the wall of files, the first to catch my attention was one that read “Girls I Have Liked.” I opened it and began flipping through the cards. I quickly shut it, shocked to realize that I recognized the names written on each one.
And then without being told, I knew exactly where I was. This lifeless room with its small files was a crude catalog system for my life. Here were written the actions of my every moment, big and small, in a detail my memory couldn’t match.
A sense of wonder and curiosity, coupled with horror, stirred within me as I began randomly opening files and exploring their content. Some brought joy and sweet memories; others a sense of shame and regret so intense that I would look over my shoulder to see if anyone was watching. A file named “Friends” was next to one marked “Friends I Have Betrayed.”
The titles ranged from the mundane to the outright weird. “Books I Have Read,” “Lies I Have Told,” “Comfort I Have Given,” “Jokes I Have Laughed At.” Some were almost hilarious in their exactness: “Things I’ve Yelled at My Brothers.” Others I couldn’t laugh at: “Things I Have Done in My Anger,” “Things I Have Muttered Under My Breath at My Parents.” I never ceased to be surprised by the contents. Often there were many more cards than I expected. Sometimes fewer than I hoped.
I was overwhelmed by the sheer volume of the life I had lived. Could it be possible that I had the time in my 20 years to write each of these thousands or even millions of cards? But each card confirmed this truth. Each was written in my own handwriting. Each signed with my signature.
When I pulled out the file marked “Songs I Have Listened To,” I realized the files grew to contain their contents. The cards were packed tightly, and yet after two or three yards, I hadn’t found the end of the file. I shut it, shamed, not so much by the quality of music, but more by the vast amount of time I knew that file represented.
When I came to a file marked “Lustful Thoughts,” I felt a chill run through my body. I pulled the file out only an inch, not willing to test its size, and drew out a card. I shuddered at its detailed content. I felt sick to think that such a moment had been recorded.
An almost animal rage broke on me. One thought dominated my mind: “No one must ever see these cards! No one must ever see this room! I have to destroy them!” In an insane frenzy I yanked the file out. Its size didn’t matter now. I had to empty it and burn the cards. But as I took it at one end and began pounding it on the floor, I could not dislodge a single card. I became desperate and pulled out a card, only to find it as strong as steel when I tried to tear it
Defeated and utterly helpless, I returned the file to its slot. Leaning my forehead against the wall, I let out a long, self-pitying sigh. And then I saw it. The title bore “People I Have Shared the Gospel With.” The handle was brighter than those around it, newer, almost unused. I pulled on its handle and a small box not more than three inches long fell into my hands. I could count the cards it contained on one hand.
And then the tears came. I began to weep. Sobs so deep that they hurt started in my stomach and shook through me. I fell on my knees and cried. I cried out of shame, from the overwhelming shame of it all. The rows of file shelves swirled in my tear-filled eyes. No one must ever, ever know of this room. I must lock it up and hide the key.
But then as I pushed away the tears, I saw Him. No, please not Him. Not here. Oh, anyone but Jesus.
I watched helplessly as He began to open the files and read the cards. I couldn’t bear to watch His response. And in the moments I could bring myself to look at His face, I saw a sorrow deeper than my own. He seemed to intuitively go to the worst boxes. Why did He have to read every one?
Finally He turned and looked at me from across the room. He looked at me with pity in His eyes. But this was a pity that didn’t anger me. I dropped my head, covered my face with my hands and began to cry again. He walked over and put His arm around me. He could have said so many things. But He didn’t say a word. He just cried with me.
Then He got up and walked back to the wall of files. Starting at one end of the room, He took out a file and, one by one, began to sign His name over mine on each card.
“No!” I shouted rushing to Him. All I could find to say was “No, no,” as I pulled the card from Him. His name shouldn’t be on these cards. But there it was, written in red so rich, so dark, so alive. The name of Jesus covered mine. It was written with His blood.
He gently took the card back. He smiled a sad smile and began to sign the cards. I don’t think I’ll ever understand how He did it so quickly, but the next instant it seemed I heard Him close the last file and walk back to my side. He placed His hand on my shoulder and said, “It is finished.”
I stood up, and He led me out of the room. There was no lock on its door. There were still cards to be written
This Story was given to me, from a friend who found it. It has a powerful message. God bless.

A Verse and a Recipe!
Hi!
My family and I have been fairly busy lately. I am taking a month off from school. It has been a nice break so far:-) My mom shared a neat verse with me today! I thought I would share it with you guys too.
"Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen." Ephesians 4:29
Here is a recipe for a Ladyfinger Trifle. My sister made it for the Fellowship meal at our church!
INGREDIENTS
- 11 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup confectioners' sugar
- 2 cups whipping cream, whipped
- 1 (3 ounce) package ladyfingers
- 1 (21 ounce) can dark cherry pie filling or filling of your choice
DIRECTIONS
- In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Fold in whipped cream. Split ladyfingers; arrange upright around the edge and over the bottom of a 2-qt. serving bowl (about 8-in. diameter). Pour cream cheese mixture into bowl. Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight. Just before serving, spoon pie filling over cream cheese mixture.
Thank you for all your comments! God bless.
