Dictionary Definition for Mediocre:
1. of only ordinary or moderate quality; neither good nor bad; barely adequate.
2. rather poor or inferior.

Never settle for just what’s fun, or what makes you feel the best at the moment. Anyone who’s ever read history(this includes biblical history) can see that, the people who rough it, the people who don’t go in it for themselves, the people who care for people, and the people who won’t comprimise the truth, are always the ones who keep the world afloat, and, though not always remembered, are always heros.(And Most of them are christians.)

I would have posted longer, but who needs a lot of words to say what we already know? If it doesn’t make sense, comment and I’ll talk to ya :)

Praise The Lord!

I felt the need to say that. :) I talked to Isaac today, he’s been having a good time in CA. Uncle Dan and him went around touring the city. He said it was fun!

Martha’s getting closer and closer to having her baby too! So, keep her in your prayers please! The girls haven’t been home hardly at all, because either they’re gone to work or gone to Martha’s! They are home some though, and that’s nice.

Mary started work at Papa Johns a couple days ago. Just training right now… she chopped up tomatoes for 3 hours then came home the other day :P.

Me and Dad are the only guys home now! It’s been interesting really! Not much has been happening though :P.

We went to FIGIO last night and it was really good! Me and Dad only got there for the last hour though. first off, Anna took me over to her house because, I wanted a hair cut and Dad and Mary were gonna come in a “little bit” to help fix Anna and Calebs water! Well, on the way to Anna and Calebs place, Anna stopped at fruitland business center to fill out some papers. I sayed out in the car for what seemed like a very long time! probably was. Anyways, after that, Anna took me over to her house, I got out and Anna called Caleb over from off his horse, and he asked me if I’d ride the horse, so I did. and Anna took him off to sign MORE papers!

So, I just walked the horse around with James for a while and talked to him. He wants me to make him a website. I dunno what’ll come of that. He wants to sell his horse! If anyone’s interested… $3000, kid broke good horse. :). Anyways, and then after Anna finally got back, I got off the horse and went inside to get a haircut! That didn’t take too long and I tried to get the water fixed but, as I was out searching for a hose seal, Dad finally showed up with Mary! So, then we went about fixing it and, after a trip to Home Depot(which, we found wasn’t necessary) and a little handiman work and jury rigging, we got it fixed for the time being and headed off to figio!

The person speaking was Walter Brown on the Hydroplate theory! It was really good! Even though we only got in for the alst hour, it was verry interesting :D .

So, that was yesterday, bye!!

He is Risen!

Happy Day to you all! Whether it’s Easter, Ressurection Sunday, Passover or just a day, He is risen! Night before last I finished Genesis, so I thought I might as well go and read the last two chapters of Luke. It really made today seem special :). the tomb is empty, Jesus is risen. Ya know, something that just occurred to me… most of the disciples didn’t see Jesus until the day after easter! interesting thought… Anyways I’ll tell ya about what happened this mornin:

This morning I was awakened by Rebecca stating there was what I heard as “a holstein cat” outside that needed brought in; “what in the world do I need to bring in a cat for???” I wondered. But then, as I climbed down the stairs on my hands and knees, it occurred to me…. err wait, I didn’t climb down the stairs on my hands and knees! lol!
*ahem* after I had gone down two flights of stairs to arrive at the downstairs, It finally became clear to me that “No, not cat! CALF!!!!!!” And sure enough, walk out to the road and there was a new-born calf. So I ran over there and picked it up
Well, I went over there, half asleep and just sorta blankly stared at it for a while… Then finally I picked it up and boy was it heavy! I moved it over vloser to the gate and set it down(it can walk btw, as you will soon notice). And then, we somehow brought it inside the gate and tried to get it to lie down, but it didn’t wanna, so after a while, it just ran under a tree that was shelter enough and we decided it was good there. Rebecca gave it some instant milk stuff to hold it over till we can find the owner… I may post pics :P.
And then I came inside and took off my coat and shoes, then I thought to myself “why doncha go get some pics?” so I did, I put on my shoes again and went out there and took pics. Only a few mind you, and they weren’t any good either.

And anyways, After that, I came inside and Rachel was just getting up and so I told her about the visitor. And she was surprised as well and looked out the window. Then we all just sorta shrugged it off and went off to do our own thing. And so, before I got on the computer, I proceeded to flip the bottons on my accordion case, open it, pick up my accordion, put it on, sit on the couch and play:

LOW IN THE GRAVE HE LAY

Low in the grave He lay, Jesus my Savior,
Waiting the coming day, Jesus my Lord!
Refrain
Up from the grave He arose,
With a mighty triumph o’er His foes,
He arose a Victor from the dark domain,
And He lives forever, with His saints to reign.
He arose! He arose!
Hallelujah! Christ arose!
Vainly they watch His bed, Jesus my Savior;
Vainly they seal the dead, Jesus my Lord!
Refrain
Death cannot keep its Prey, Jesus my Savior;
He tore the bars away, Jesus my Lord!
Refrain

Have a wonderful day all!
