My Daily Thoughts and Experiences http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/GalacticBlogger/ en-us Homeschool Blogger Mon, 30 Jun 2008 22:49:00 -0500 Mon, 30 Jun 2008 22:49:00 -0500 Well, everything's alright at the Suarez household. We had a very busy day. Today we got up and had some nice breakfast. Then some Jehovah's Witnesses came over for a visit. They didn't want to talk about anything particularly interesting, just to visit. Then we took some scrap metal to the junk yard. It was just a bunch of useless steel, but they bought it at $5.25 for a hundred pounds. We all took a guess at how much we had and my brother Beav was 5 pounds from the amount we ended up with. We had 1050 pounds of steel and got about 55 bucks for it. For those who don't know me very well, let me give a brief description of myself. My name is Luke. I am 16, and I like to read, write, and as you might have noticed I love Chess! JocelynDixon created my template, and did a great job. Thanks Jocelyn, looks great! It's not very long, but at least I posted (lol). God's been really helping me daily to follow him. I only pray that he will give me the desire to read his word and learn from it. Leave comments!

I'm going to (with the supervision of my parents) start blogging again. I didn't think that I would blog ever again. It seemed to me somewhat boring to write to thousands of people about stuff that wasn't important to anyone but myself. But now that I think about what blogging's really good for, I can see that for the right reasons, blogging can be good in many ways. For one thing, it'll help me with my English, such as grammar and communication skills (which I'm really bad at), and it will also allow me get to know fellow bloggers, many of whom I've never met and some who I simply haven't spoken to in a year or so. I also want to announce that I will be blogging daily from now on (where possible), so you can expect  to hear of or from me more often. I'm not very fast at typing so I'd appreciate it if nobody "tags" me. Lol. Although - I will try hard to return comments (if given any, lol) and answer any questions that I can. This blog  will be a place for me to talk about what God is doing in my life and how I will try to be more like Him. It will also be used to talk with friends and discuss things of interest. Sort of like an open journal. Also, my brother Paul has assigned me an email address. It is Luke@GodlyHost.com; that's his hosting site. My grandpa just visited us and taught me a lot about guitars! He's been playing guitars for like 50 years! He showed me how to read tabs and to put some new strings on my guitar. Hopefully I'll get to see him again soon. He returned home in AK Wednesday night at 10:30, I think. So far he's the first person outside of my family to have emailed me. Well, I guess that this small entry will have to do for now. I will discuss some of what the Lord is doing in my life tomorrow or the following day after I read some passages in God's word. Leave lots of nice comments!

Tomorrow we are going to a "shindig." I don't really know what this is, but I guess it's like a festival. There will be horses and a hot air balloon. There will also be about 400 people and 100 goats. Afterwards, we will camp in tents at the Badgleys' farm and see their horse and chickens. Then we're off to the Dixons' place and spending the night. The next day we have TOS business in KY. We will be on the road for about four days and then we'll be coming home. We are leaving tomorrow at 6 in the morning so I have to finish packing. Leave me a comment!   LUKE http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/GalacticBlogger/349245/ Thu, 28 Jun 2007 21:40:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/GalacticBlogger/349245/ Hello everyone from Pennsylvania! We are having a nice time over here at the conference. We have a booth and my parents are speaking. I have already met a lot of new friends over here. We have been playing basketball and soccer a lot. I'm sure you have already heard about Mom's baby. She's 3.5 months pregnant and craving lots of different foods. And then like she'll eat them and after a while she'll hate them and be craving something different. I think she's driving Dad crazy but he takes her where she wants. It took us ten hours to get up here. We have a game cube and screen in our car so we played that on the way up. By the time the baby is born, I'll be 16 years older than it. I hope it's a boy. We don't know what we'll call him if it's a boy but if it's a girl it'll be Susanna. Dixons have "Luc" and Mom will have "Sus." They'll rhyme My dad is being funny. He says if it's a boy it'll be Billy Joe Bobby Hicks because he's a true Tennessean now and the baby is going to reflect it. Mom says forget it. I don't really have a name picked out. What do YOU think we should name it if it's a boy? As the baby is growing up, I want to make sure we set godly examples for our siblings because they are looking up to us and doing the same things we do. One of the main reasons why I should study the bible is so that I can set biblical examples for them so that they can grow up having had a good influence. This would also be good practice for me so that when I get married and have children I will know how to raise my own. I'm really glad we're having a baby because it'll be 11 years since we've had a baby in the house or diapers and stuff. I can't wait for the baby to arrive! Well I better go get ready for the conference. Please place comments and tell me what you think we should name him if it's a boy. LUKE http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/GalacticBlogger/343194/ Sat, 16 Jun 2007 09:32:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/GalacticBlogger/343194/ We went to the Dixon's the other day and had a fun time. I played chess with JocleynDixon, SuperAngel, and YoungManInTraining, (It was pretty fun). We got there at about midnight because we had some business to take care of on the way. We talked about our blogs for a while, they suggested that I change my avatar because it's been there for like, three years! They showed me their animals, which consisted of a lot of goats (exact number unknown), two horses and two dogs. Oh! And we all got to hold their cute little baby which isn't named yet. Amanda ( SuperAngel) wants to call her Lily while the rest of the family wants to call her Lucy... shiver. Ok, next subject. In about a month I'm going to a conference on business, and there's going to be sort of like a chess competition. Well anyhow, there's this guy who plays blindfolded! His name is Jonathan Sarfati, he'll be there, and he is going to play ten different people at once! So I'm going to play him and hopefully get some tips. :) Luke http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/GalacticBlogger/316941/ Thu, 19 Apr 2007 13:02:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/GalacticBlogger/316941/ Ouch, that wedding was way too long! LOL I have been pretty busy. We just moved into our new house. I live in the basement with the other animals. I'm 15 now. You might not have known that since my last post was in April - almost a year ago! My neighbor Hunter is teaching me how to skateboard; I like doing this. I can ollie pretty good. My dad and I joined a chess club in my community. I can probably beat the instructor. I can beat my dad. So we're looking for something a little more advanced. I played Joci Dixon last month; it was a stalemate. In other words, no one won. I'm sure I can beat her though. She's just a girl. The board got knocked over by the littles - I'll bet she planned that all along - she's just skeeered. Well, that's it for today. Give me lots of comments. Paulie gets too many for his own good. Let's see if I can beat him! C'mon! Post your comments!!!

Our family is renting a house by a lake, and we are going to see all of our old friends and have a good time. We are also going to get the rest of our things because when we moved to Tennesse we were not able to bring everything so we have to pick it up. Well that's it for a couple of weeks.

Luke http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/GalacticBlogger/115641/ Mon, 10 Apr 2006 13:53:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/GalacticBlogger/115641/ Well, I'm back, and happy about it! I havn't been on for a while because I've been busy growing "food" at my aunt's house and havn't had time to. We're growing watermelon, potato, squash, garlic, and others. I myself, am growing watermelon. We planted them about five days ago, and they're doing good. Well, got to go!
