At Bannockburn the English lay,-- The Scots they were na far away, But waited for the break o' day That glinted in the east.

But soon the sun broke through the heath And lighted up that field of death, When Bruce, wi' saul-inspiring breath, His heralds thus addressed:--

"Scots, wha hae wi' Wallace bled-- Scots, wham Bruce has aften led-- Welcome to your gory bed. Or to victorie!

"Now's the day, and now's the hour; See the front o' battle lower; See approach proud Edward's power-- Chains and slaverie!

"Wha will be a traitor knave? Wha can fill a coward's grave? Wha sae base as be a slave? Let him turn and flee!

"Wha for Scotland's king and law Freedom's sword will strongly draw, Freeman stand or freeman fa'-- Let him follow me!

"By Oppression's woes and pains! By your sons in servile chains! We will drain our dearest veins, But they shall be free!

"Lay the proud usurpers low! Tyrants fall in every foe! Liberty's in every blow! Let us do or die!"

~'BANNOCKBURN' by: Robert Burns (1759-1796)

http://www.islamoncapitolhill.com/ Read it before reading another sentence. It's sad. This country was at one time based upon Godly principles and ideals. And now..... this? Please, please, please pray for our country this day! Pass it one in whatever form you can, Facebook, blog, email, Twitter, any way you can!

Some friends of mine, and myself are trying to get people to pray for our country today. Please join us and get others to do so as well!

Trusting in my Savior,
Anna

Ah! *Wails some* My teeth hurt!! *sobs* *wipes tears and then hits self for acting so childish* okay... So today I had to go to a tooth guy-thing to get four teeth removed. I needed them to be taken out because on the 22nd of July I will be getting braces. *sniffs* But no, I want braces! Really!

Well, as I was saying, I went there this morning and had my teeth removed. Here's how it went - I arrived there at around 8:15, waited for about ten minutes or so, and then was called into a back room - my mother came with me into there :D So, the nurse briefly told me about what they were going to do, and then the doctor came in. He went over some more stuff with my Mom and I, and then he went to get the helpers. My mom left the room, and he put a thingy over my nose so I'd in-hail the stuff. It smelled like coconut. I hate coconut!

It was so strange! He put it on, and sooo gradually I became dizzy, and like everything was spinning around me, I knew what was going on, it was just so distant in a way. I'm not sure if that made any sense, but that's how I felt.

Then I began to wake up a lot more, and he had to numb my teeth. It hardly hurt at all! :) Then he started to wiggle my teeth around, and eventually pulled them all out! It was easy! After watching a quick video,  in a different room, about my teeth, we went home. I had to keep gauze on them for a few hours, changed frequently.

Oh! And I got to keep my teeth!! :])

So, there is my adventure for the day! I am so thankful that God worked so well with this all. It was normally about 3 hundred some dollors, but thanks to a Summer-loan-thing my parrents are doing, we paid nothing... -yet-..... And when I get my braces it will be the same! it's normally about 45 thousand (i think) and insurance only covers about 15 T. So I am just so thankful to God!

Praising the LORD,
Your sister in Christ,
Anna

Oh, I'm so happy!!! The third week of July, Molly and I will be gone! In Missouri! Along with Maddie and Katie! Every year, for a week, Molly and Katie go to Missouri, and Maddie either comes to my house, or I go to her's. But this year, we are both 13 and so can come with!!!

I am sooo excited! I just love my Aunt and Uncle's farm in Missouri! The new template are all pics of it! So, you can tell I love the place! It gives such inspiration!

I'm not sure when we'll leave though....but for that week I will not be on the computer at all. Well, I fare ye well,

Karnea,

~Anna


p.s. Karnea means 'good day' in the old Faeoran language...

I wanted to let you all know about 'United We Kneel'! It is for teens everywhere to stand up and pray for this country which is straying from the Lord! Here is the link to the blog!

I think it is such a good thing to pray! Not only because the Lord has told us to, but because I know that we WILL be heard by God!

I know that I have trouble in praying. Remembering to do it in the morning and throughout the day is very hard for me! I really want to grow closer to Christ, and I know that this is a way that I can do so!

I encourage all of you who are reading this right now, to join my along with many others to pray starting on July 3rd! Pray not only for individuals, but for America as a nation, as a country of one!!

We The People... America as a nation, HAVE to pray! This country HAS strayed so far from the Lord!

Whatever happened to 'In God We Trust'? It is up to us Christians to lead this country back to the Lord! I believe that we can make a huge difference in this country! Even if all we do is pray! After all the Bible says to 'pray without ceasing' [1Th 5:17]. Think of all the times many 'no bodies' have changed the course of history! That 'nobody' can be YOU!

Please, please, PLEASE spread the word!

God Bless You, God Bless America!

I know I've not posted in a while. . . . well, here is a nice long post!

It's very strange. . . . a week ago if you were to ask me if I wanted to ever do speech and/or debate I would have said 'NO!' without a second thought about it!

A few days ago, my mom said that there was a homeschool meeting and Molly and I had to come! So, sighing and thinking 'what is the point? I will never do something like that!' I waited until the evening of the meeting. My mom couldn't come, and so my dad, Molly, and I drove to the church where the meeting was going to be in.

We walked in and I recognized the woman who was setting this whole thing up. We had known her and visited their house about six or seven years ago. I remembered her and most of her kids, but had no memory of going to her house. . . . So! Back to the subject! She started to talk to us and ask us about school, and where we were in science, if we were still useing 'Amblesideonline, etc., and we answer them.

A few minutes later and the meeting started. She, the woman who was actually presenting the meeting....well, talking, (she was not the one who set the thing up). . . . just to let you know! ;) So, as I was saying, she had with her two of her students, a girl and guy. . . .  The girl first came up and did a little few-minutes speech thing which was actually, more of a skit. It made me giggle through parts of it. . . . it was meant to be a humorous one. . . .

Then the woman came over and talked for at least two hours! I must admit, for someone who had never seen or heard of speech and debate much, it was not presented well! I got very lost at parts. There was too much info in too much time for us three no-brainers! *grin*  Molly and Dad agreed.

So, the meeting went on, and about maybe fifteen minutes into it, I thought, "I am a no-brainer! No, worse than that - I'm REDICULOUS! A Stupid-no-brainer-idiot-who-can't-think-of-anything-without-trying-it-or-I'll-roll-my-eyes-and-sigh-and-walk-off!!!!!!!!!!"  SERIOUSLY!

I knew what I wanted to do.

The more it dragged on, the more she talked about going up in front of strangers, the more I got excited. Anyone who knows me in person should know that I'm shy, laid-back, and don't like doing a lot of things like that or I'll blush! I am serious! Call me whimp if you wish!

So. The more they talked, the more figitedy and impatient I became! I actually wanted to do what is 'aginst my nature'. . . . I wanted to do one of the harder things of speech and debate would be for me. . . . the one that would be worse than just talking or acting out something in front of judges. . . . worse than just doing something not real long. . . . something that I would never have thought to do. . . . . .  I wanted to debate!!!!

*****

When it was over, I told my parents in my laid-back-quiet-not-real-shouting-it-out-way -not-one-to-go'I-really-want-to-do-this-that-or-the-other-!!!-way, but my quiet way of saying, 'I think debate sounds fun!' Period. That was about the extent of it! But then, I always do say stuff that way!

Molly wasn't really excited about it though. She said speech, the acting out way, would be 'okay'. Period! I thought to myself, 'HOW COULD SHE JUST SAY IT WAS 'OKAY' AND NOT REALLY BE INTERESTED IN SUCH A THRILLING EXPERIENCE!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!!!'

*****

*sighs* They haven't said 'yes' or 'no' yet. . . . :( I want to do it so badly! More than they realize, I think! More so than Molly thinks, more so than anyone would think!! Ever since last night, I've wanted to do this even more than writing!! I never get this excited about things like I am now!!!

I really want to do this.

Nothing is worse than waiting for an answer when it could make me sooooo thriled and happy, or make me soooo disapointed!

If the answer is 'no', then I just pray I don't get too disapointed and sad. But know I will if it is in fact a no. . . .

Love,
Anna

Today, as you all know is Easter....the day we get easter baskets and such. But don't forget the real meaning of the holiday...if you could call it that.

It is the day the Christ rose from the dead!! We should never forget this! So, I encourage all of you to read either John 21 (i think it is) or Luke 22! I love the song 'Via Dolorosa'! Here are the lyrics! And the song is the last one on my playlist!

Please, please think of Christ's resurrection today as you spend time with your family!!

God Bless!

I am soooo happy!!! *starts to dance around room* ok, no...but really! I am very excited!!!!!

In April we're going to my Aunt's farm!!!!!!! Molly is freeking out! (me too) :D So, I am sooo excited to go there! *sighs in contempt on remembering how beautiful it is*

Yesterday I did a very dumb thing! I WATCHED A PART FROM 'LOVE'S LONG JOURNEY'!!!!!!!!!!! Very dumb thing to do when it's still a month away before you go there! You see... this last summer was when I first saw the 'Love comes softly' series. So, it REALLY reminded me of Missouri!!!!! (That's where my aunt's farm is at)

But I'm sooo happy to know that I'm going there soon! :) *likes this font* ok, that was very random!

Well, I'm going to go waist my brain on the computer, and watch as it turns to mush!!!!! :o

Till later...I bid thee Adieu!

*sighs* It's so sad...The people in our church have told us to lock our car doors in the parking lot because there's been a few times where people have tried to break in and steal stuff. The youth pastor told us today that they tried braking a window, and to not leave the guitars there. :(

Then yesterday at Self-Defense class, they told us about someone who had been breaking in to their church....(the place that we take the class at)...and had, I think, taken a guitar or something!

And then a week ago (I think) how someone shot a pastor inside a church!

I just think it's so sad that people would do these things...in a church, no less.

Also, please continue, (or start) to pray for my niece Paige!

~Anna

I need only 13 more comments to get to 200!!!!!!! So please, please, PLEASE  (!!!) write a comment as you pass by!!!!

Anyway....I have a prayer request for my niece, Paige, who is six years old. Last year, Paige was diagnosed with (as it is too long a name to pronounce I'll just call it 'what she was diagnosed with)...*grin* anyway...so she was diagnosed with 'it' and it has to do with something that makes her (again I don't know what it's called!!) her 'something' that makes her respond to germs and bad things in her body, not work...So...CONTINUING!!! Last week she had a Appendix burst!!!!! *glares the the appendix*

So when my brother FINALLY got the doctor and people to let a poor girl sobbing in pain to get a Cat-scan...it showed she had a burst Appendix!!!!!!!!! *is furious with the people at the hospital* All they could think of was her disease!!!! They got her into the room to have surgery...and in the process, they found something growing on her limph-nodes....(doesn't know if that's spelled right or not....) 0.0 So, they took it off and sent it in to see what it was...... They thought it may have been 'something' (AGAIN is terrible with words) which is a kind of cancer...(i think).

Well, it turned out it was not....so today we were supposed to drive two hours to their house and watch my two other nephews...(10 and 14 or 15 years old) So we got all packed, and on the way to get my older sister's car to use, Andy, my brother, called us and told us that Paige had PINWORMS!!!!! And what's more....THE DOCTORS MUST HAVE 'FORGOTTEN' TO TELL THEM THAT LITTLE DETAIL!!!!!!!! *SCREEMS HISTARICALY AT THE DOCTORS* And they knew this for a few days and JUST NOW decided to tell Andy!!!! *screams frustratedly some more*

And for you who do NOT know what Pinworms are....they are DISCUSTING little worm-tipe-things that live off your intestins! You can inhail them even!! You would have to strip every linnen thing really and wash it....wash every toy, and vacume EVERY floor!!!! And then, every two weeks you have to take this pill-thing!!!!!!!!

So we didn't go, of course...and at this moment I am boiling up at the doctor's office who didn't tell Andy, 'till NOW, that his poor six-year-old daughter had them! *glares at them*

Ok! I just needed to get that out of myself! I am soo frustrated at them! So yeah....*sighs* So PLEASE pray for Paige and her family...especially for Paige!!!

~Anna :(

Here's a bit I wrote yesterday!!!

Come, come--husbands and wives,
Come children, brothers and sisters, likewise.
Now come and sit, every one--to hear
The tale I soon shall relate to thee, with harp and liar!
Of Faeoras and her mighty warriors.
Of the son of Daemon--Lord of Talcliors--
Sir Cedric, great hero of Faeoras.
And of Jedrek, who hath saved every one of us!

Sorry about the last post.....*grin* For those of you who had no idea of what I was babbling about, 24 is a TV show that I saw for the first time in November. It didn't show until January again and when it did I became 'The 24 Huge Fan!' You see, the Season I started, (it has not ended yet and will not for A WHILE) is Season Seven! So After FINALLY getting Molly to watch it with me, and she becoming a fan like-wise, we rented Season One from  the movie store. We're about half-way through with it, and I LOVE it!

It's soooooooo GOOD, and SWEET!!!! The MC, Jack Bauer....the the person on my template (well three people actually)....is soooooo AWESOME!!!!! SERIOUSLY!!! The profile is also a character from it named Chloe. Well, I just suggest you to watch 24 and become a fan of it!!!! Although, warning!!!! IT IS ADDICTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

~Anna (you can call me Chloe though!) *grins evily* : ])

---

---

Well, I suppose I haven't posted in quite a while! *grin* sorry!

Well, I guess I'm just posting really because I'M GOING NUTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes!! It's true!!! I LOVE 24!!!!!!!!

*clears throat* ok! sorry about that!!!

You see when Season Seven started in November and then continued in January I got  addicted to 24! So, the I FINALLY got my sister Molly aka queenflora to watch one of the episodes with me! She loved it and we soon got the first season.....So, I'm about half-way through it and am nutty about it!!! *grins guiltily* What?! it's VERY addicting! I mean REALLY ADDICTING!!!!! So, I think...*clears throat* I may...uh..hehe! uh...*grin* make a 24-themed blog....well, this one but with a new template! *giggle*
 24!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 24!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 24!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SORRY! I'm gettting VERY wound up now because of Jack Bauer and Tony Almeida and uh...yeah! *grin* Well, I'm going to go do other odds and ends and wait for Molly to finish writing so we can go watch another episode!

~Anna, the new 24 fan!!!!
