It must be hard to be a parent, especially in today's world. I mean, there are so many things out there that can put a child in danger. Besides that, it must be hard for parents to see their children finally leave them after 18 years of living with them and being under their direct care and supervision ( Read more... )

My mother came home a while ago (which is weird since she never comes home early anymore) and gave me an envelope. This was a piece of mail from St. John's. So, I thought, "Great! What do they want NOW??!" So, I opened it and the FIRST thing I read was, "Residence Hall Damage Statement". So, I continued to skim it over. Can you tell me WHY I have ( Read more... )

I woke up this morning at 8:50. I had a brief phone call from one of my friends shortly after 9. It was cool. Well, after that, I decided to work out because I realized some things about my body that needs to change ( Read more... )

I went to a conference at the Crowne Plaza Hotel near LaGuardia Airport this evening. It was really cool because I met up with Elisa, a Korean girl from New Jersey who I met on Christmas Day 2005. She does Gospel rap and also attends my school. Is that cool or what?! I think it's cool that she can rap! Don't knock her...she is pretty cool. I like ( Read more... )

Yesterday was Pentecost Sunday at church (no, I do NOT attend a Pentecostal church).

Well, my mom had recently bought me a nice, white peasant skirt, similar to the ones that ( Read more... )

Yesterday evening I was watching a tv series on Noggin called "Degrassi". Degrassi is a Canadian show that basically deals with the drama and difficulties of high school and how individuals at Degrassi Community High School overcome these difficulties. I never understood why I heard so many people commenting about the show until I gave it a chance ( Read more... )

Today is just one of those days that just goes by so slowly that you wonder if you are really awake. For the past few days I have been waking up earlier, getting up while it is early morning (such as 7:45 am or 8:40 am), as opposed to my usual: 11:30 am or 12 noon. I feel that waking up earlier has been a benefit for me because I am training my ( Read more... )

I read this really cool verse (verse 25) from John 21, the last chapter of the book of John. It reads: "And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen." Is that not something AMAZING or what? This is ( Read more... )

Jesus asked Peter three times if he loved Him more than other things. Peter's response each time was, "Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee." When I asked myself the question, I tried to be as honest as possible. Can I honestly say that I love the Lord more than I love certain things in and/or of this life? Some of these things for me may ( Read more... )

I signed on to AOL some time ago and read a blurb. It read, "Amputation Right For Three Armed Boy?" This immediately got my attention and I clicked on the headline to watch the video ( Read more... )
