Friday Funnies

Hi everyone,

Well..........I guess you wouldn't call it a Friday Funny, since today is Saturday, but oh well! Here it is:

It's Snowing!

Hi everyone,

A few hours ago, I got off school because it was snowing! Some say it's going to be 3-6 inches, others 1-2 inches then ice, I don't know. I'm just glad that it's snowing, and that we might get school off tomorrow! : )

Since it's snowing, I'm going to put up a thing on how to make Snow Cream:

Ingredients:

Snow

1 or 2 cups of whole or evaporated milk

1 or 2 tsp. of vanilla extract

1/2 to 1 cup of sugar

1.Bring the mixing bowl of fresh snow in to the kitchen.

2.Quickly stir in enough milk to get the consistency of ice cream, start with a little and keep adding until it is creamy. Don't worry if you accidentally add too much. Just go scoop up some more snow!

3. When you get the consistency you want, stir in the vanilla and sugar. Have fun trying different flavors like maple extract, peppermint, or root-beer.

4. Eat the snow!

I haven't tried this myself yet, but it looks yummy. I might give it a shot, if my mom lets me!

The Huckabee Plan

Hi everyone,

You've probably seen the "Huck's Army," sticker on my blog, and wondered, "Is she voting for Huckabee?" Well, sadly, I can't vote yet, but you can bet your bottom dollar that I'm rooting for him!


While checking out a Huckabee support site, run by Brett and Alex Harris, I stumbled upon an article by another blogger who wrote why he supports Huckabee. Here is the link to it if you want to check it out.

A Good Time Was Had By All

Hi everyone,

Yesterday was my first High School Banquet!!!!!!!! It's probably the only prom I'll ever have, because at my school, we don't have one. But it was FUN!!!!!!

To start, everyone arrived dressed formally (this was a semi-formal affair). Girls dressed in flowing, bright-colored gowns or party dresses, and the boys were wearing dapper tuxedos. The dinner was delicious, as well as dessert (cheesecake......mmmm).

The banquet, of course, wasn't uneventful in the least. After engaging in pleasant conversation and eating, each table was given a sheet of trivia questions, in which the winner would be given an extraordinary prize. Who would have thought that the largest American city in terms of square miles was Juneau, Alaska?

After a table had won, all the kids at that table were supposed to go to the front, where they faced off against each other in a series of questions. It was then revealed that the winner would get a free trip to Mexico in time for the Mexico mission's trip!!!!!!!!!!

After much dueling between two girls (who, I might say, were very good at geography, etc.), one girl won. The happy girl will be attending the next missions' trip to Mexico, free of charge.

To finish off the evening, the winners of the 10:31 Award were chosen. The 10:31 Award is an award for two youths, a guy and a girl, who have shown that they have a good faith and relationship with Jesus Christ. There were films showing why these two chosen were worthy of a such a wonderful award. I can't disclose the names, due to Internet privacy, but let me assure you that they were very worthy of it!

A good time was had by all, and I'm grateful to God that I got to see it all unfold before my very eyes. I'm thankful that I can go to such a wonderful parent-driven youth ministry! I'm thankful that I can go to a church where I am encouraged to love God and grow in the Gospel! Thank you Jesus Christ!

Pray for Miss Shannon

Hi everyone,

I am trying out a new font color, so do not adjust your computer screen!

Another blogger on the blogosphere, Miss Shannon from Rocks In My Dryer, has announced that she is going with Compassion International to Uganda, Africa, and is going to write about the poverty there. She's going to blog about it very step of the way! Also, it would be much appreciated if you could travel over to the blog and offer her words of encouragement. Thanks a bunch, guys! We need to put Miss Shannon in our prayers, so that she may have a safe journey, a safe time in Africa, and that God will tell her His will.

Thanks, everyone!
