I am a homeschool graduate who loves to write. I live in the U.S. and I hate filling out "brief descriptions!" http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/BlogBoy/ en-us Homeschool Blogger Tue, 22 Apr 2008 14:40:00 -0500 Tue, 22 Apr 2008 14:40:00 -0500 I need to view some of my old entries, so I am switching back to a HSB template until I am finished.

Behold, I do not know how to speak, because I am a youth.” But the Lord said to me, “Do not say, ‘I am a youth,’ because everywhere I send you, you shall go, and all that I command you, you shall speak. -Jeremiah 1: 4-7   Despite Jeremiah’s fears he listened to God’s voice and obeyed His commandments. Jeremiah ended up writing the longest prophetic book of the Bible, covering a span of around 40 years. He was most likely a teen when he became a prophet.   I would find that hard to believe. A young person just dropped everything he was doing and gave the rest of his life to God – having a career of prophesy from his youth? Didn’t God see Jeremiah’s age as a hindrance?

Yesterday, however, I saw a goldfinch outside the window on the purple coneflower. I grabbed the camera and took some pictures. They turned out really nice, so I thought I would share them with you!

I mean, everyone commits sins in life, but God wouldn’t send us to hell just because of a few sins. I’ve probably lead a good life compared to other people – it’s not like I’ve killed anyone!   Read the rest here.   Eric Novak http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/BlogBoy/370370/ Wed, 8 Aug 2007 22:58:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/BlogBoy/370370/ I’ve built a brand-new site for the “Blogging with a Purpose” award.

Check it out at the link below!  Do Hard Things – Forgive Someone In the rush of everyday life, we are losing the meaning of being a Christian! We are not on track with our faith, we are not on course with our walk with God, and we are not using Biblical love in our everyday lives! If we spent as much time reading the Bible, as we did partaking in leisure activities, maybe we would be able to learn what forgiveness means from Christ’s example. One of the hardest, and yet one of the most important lessons a Christian can learn from the Bible is the lesson of Mercy.
