I am so glad I had the priveledge to see the movie, War Room, with my Life Group. I have to admit, since applying Miss Clara's war room, my quality of prayer has greatly improve. I not only know who and what I am praying for, but I actual have strategic pray life that makes sense; that I can follow and easily adjust as God directs me because I can see Him in my plans more clearer. My target prayers go up on my bedroom wall. And I immediately receive scriptures from the Holy Spirit to use in my prayers.…

Personal Narrative It took us about 3 hours to get to Shakopee, it was only 60 degrees, but with the thousands of people lined up, waiting to get in, it felt like 90. We stood in that line for two hours. For awhile, we talked, we met a variety of people, we laughed, we were excited. But once we got closer to the front of the line we all got quiet, this is it, we were in, we were all going to see our idols.…

The river is too wide to be bridged and to shallow for a ferry so we have to cross it by using the sandbars.

"This life is a precious gift." The Lonely Island Band captures the essence of life for the youthful and daring or the aging and reckless. I enjoy being around family and friends. I care about music, television, and movies; sometimes I like to look for a deep message that most people overlook. I love the human will to survive when pushed to the limits; everyone has an instinct to survive.…

The second the ball crashed into my face, I immediately thought back when I was sitting on the bleachers for soccer tryouts. I was convinced that joining soccer was going to be a huge mistake. The timer marked 5 minutes until the game was over and I dreaded getting into my dad's car because I was sure he had seen everything. I felt very embarrassed, it was almost as if I could hear my dad laughing, while getting prepared to tell my mom and my brothers what he just…
“I have homework in all of my classes and a three hour steel band practice? This has to be a joke!” I thought to myself, lumping my thoughts together while getting home from school. Lumping is when someone groups things together without discrimination, which in my case, normally involved a lot of school work. When I hear the word “lumping,” the week of the Steel Band’s radio show comes to mind immediately.…
