Heya everybody! Before I start, if you notice over to the right there is a box where you can enter your e-mail address so that whenever I update it will e-mail part of the update to you so you don't have to come to my site to see if I have enlightened y'all to life yet again. *wink* LOL! A big thanks to BlogBoy for helping me set it up! Yesterday I had my last class in public speaking and it was great! I really enjoyed that class. I never realized how much I enjoyed speaking in front of groups until this past year. And some people wish I had never realized it! LOL, JK) Throughout the year we had to give a lot of speeches, most of which for me were serious, but I also did some light-hearted ones. Some of the favorite ones that I gave were about "Bible Versions", some stories and ideas behind Katrina, "My family's evacuation during Rita", "Women's modesty", and "The Ingredients of a Hot Dog" (that one was extrememly fun to do!) I also have my last class in sign language this week and my second to last band concert is tonight. Everything is ending really soon. I know I am going to enjoy not having to rush around to classes and such (my mom will enjoy it more so than me!), but then again I have enjoyed all of my classes. What do y'all do during summer? Do y'all miss doing school and maybe voluntarily continue during the summer? Or are y'all jumping for joy that it is over? I am continuing school in the summer, mainly because I am behind. I also have an economics class next month but I enjoy that tremendously! Yesterday my dad bought a voice recorder that he and I will share since I paid for half of it. It's digital so I am able to load the clips up to the computer. It is really neat, especially since I was able to record my last speeches yesterday. It helps to hear yourself over the recorder so that you are able to critique the speech and how you gave it. Although it is extremely weird to hear yourself over it!

On a more spiritual note, I was studying my bible today and came across where the Lord calls James and John "Sons of Thunder" (Mark 3:17). And also where he renamed Simon Peter and called him "Cephas," (John 1:42) which means stone. I thought what he called james and john was interesting. In my lesson it explained that this probably meant that they had a very violent nature and quick temper as evidenced by different situations and interactions with the disciples, however the Lord still used that to glorify him by taking their personalities and molding them to be Godly men. Also with peter by calling him a stone or bolder, probably meant that peter was a strong person and steadfast. So after studying this I looked up what my name meant and actually I found a lot of things, logical, rational, great happiness, and truthfulness. But then I had to wonder what would the Lord call me? I mean, would he call me logical and truthful?<(my brother laughed when he say me type that) Or would he call me stubborn and headstrong?  What about y'all? So here is my question for this entry. What does your name mean and are you really like that? (you don't have to answer that if you don't want to. LOL!) And, (you don't have to answer this one either, I just put it to be thought-provoking) What would Christ call you today if he were to see you right now? Have a great day y'all! Go with God!
