Living my life to the glory of God

I am getting to that boredom part of school. You know where you are starting to where off the getting back to school days. I am tired and can't wait for Christmas break. But enough of me. Is everyone else tired of working? I just can't wait for snow and two weeks of freedom at Christmas.

School

2008-10-05T18:22:00.000-07:00

I guess I haven't been blogging much because I have had so much homework. S I guess that I should blog a little bit more. At least I will try to blog more.

Colorado

2008-07-30T18:25:00.000-07:00

Well tomorrow we are heading out to Breckenridge Colorado. I am very excited and cant wait to go. We are going to be gone for about 10-11 days, We are going to stay in a condo that are friends are not using because they just had a baby. We will stay at our friends house for about 2-3 days and then drive into the mountains. We are packing a ton! I can't believe how much stuff that my mom can come up with to bring. We have our bikes the burly to pull the girls in coolers, TVs to keep the girls happy while in the car and tons and tons of suit cases. I have no idea how we will fit it all. But I'm excited.

Missions trip

2008-06-14T14:31:00.000-07:00

Over Sun-Wed I was on a missions trip. It was a very powerful experience for me. It was a lot of hard work and a lot of serving. We went to a place called Marie Sandvicks were we heard some story's from the person who ran it that were horrifying. But it helped all of us to realize that we are not in a perfect world, and that everyone needs the love of Jesus.

We got to pack boxes at second harvest, which mounted to a total of 1401 boxes of food which would go to over a 1000 different service organizations. We also packed boxes at Feed My Starving Children, where we made enough boxes of food to feed 27 children for a year in some orphanage in another place in the world.

I was so glad that I got to go, there were so many cool experiences and I hope that I will be able to do more in the future.

Off to the races

2008-06-14T14:28:00.000-07:00

Tonight we are going to the races. They are called to outlaw cars. They go pretty fast and it is on a dirt track so there is dirt and loud noises all over the place. Tons of dirt goes up into the stands so you have to bring goggles so that it does not get in your eyes. I'm pretty excited and I am trying to waste time before we go.

My brothers big head

My brother

2008-05-23T05:57:00.001-07:00

My fish

2008-05-14T05:40:00.000-07:00

Well I now have a 55 gallon fish tank in my room and a 10 gallon fish tank in my room. They are a lot of fun but I never knew how much money they cost. They actually are not as much work as you would think they are. If you spend enough money upfront it really helps to lower the amount of work.

Sadly I have killed ummm......1....2....3......6. 6 fish have died in my 55 gallon tank. But I still have 19 others. In my 10 gallon I have 4 crabs. 2 of them will get up to 6 inches. My mom wasn't to happy about that but I think she will get used to them.

Paintball

2008-05-02T14:56:00.000-07:00

I can't wait to start paintball. I think it is a lot of fun. I love hiding and being the last one left on your team and then trying to win. I have been working on my skills at becoming more aggressive. Sometimes I hide a little too much. But I still think that it's fun

Camp Nathaniel

2008-04-23T05:51:00.000-07:00

I can't wait to go to camp this summer. Me and Daniel are going to go fishing. After three years we have it all planed out and know exactly where the fishing spots are. It is also fun because you are like on your own kind of, with the exception of the noncoms. I just love the rugged cabin and the out doors.

Where I wish I was

2008-04-11T14:49:00.000-07:00

I really wish that I was in the mountains of Colorado, at the dude ranch that we went to last summer. It was so fun and relaxing, that I was really sad when we had to go home. Now I really want to go back, there are great views and fresh air, and you are being waited on whenever you need something. I really need something relaxing right now, any ideas?

Fish

2008-04-08T14:54:00.000-07:00

Well, I now have a 55 Gallon fish tank in my room. It has been really cool to learn about how to take care of the fish. We have had three fish die and we have four left. The fish that we got at first were supposed to be tougher fish but they weren't. So now we have to wait for the tank to get dialed in and ten we should be set to slowly start adding fish. I can't wait because there are so many cool fish.

Reflections

2008-03-26T14:06:00.000-07:00

This week has been really hard for me. Not only because of school (surprisingly), but because my grandpa or Bapa died over spring break. There were so many emotions swirling around me throughout this past week that I almost just blanked out. But there were so many good memory's of him that helped me to calm down. He was such a good man and a good influence on my life. I never really knew how much I loved him until he was gone. I was so thankful that I got to know him and I am so glad that I will get to spend eternity with him. But for now I will listen to and try to live out his last words to me,"Caleb, always remember to look up and always follow Jesus."

Math

2008-03-03T14:48:00.000-08:00

Today in math we were learning are lesson as usual, when we noticed that my math teacer made a mistake on the problem she was teaching us. One minuet later the same thing happened. And so on and so on for about the next ten minuets. Then while we were doing are homework my teacher asked if I would come help her and another student with a problem because my math teacher did not know how to do it.

This always what seems to happen to me each and every day in my math class. I really like my teacher as a person, yet she has dyslexia, is really bad at word problems, and just happens to be, not very good at math (to put it in respectful terms). I just really hope that by the end of the year I am not just as smart as when I started at the beginning of the year.

My teachers

2008-02-28T15:43:00.000-08:00

Here are some quotes from my teachers in the past few days....
"You are the worst class I have ever had!", "Are you trying to sabotage my class?!", "Your class has improved 0% since 6th grade!", "You guys be quite or else your class will all come in tomorrow morning and serve detentions!", "Maybe science class should turn into a class about how you listen in class, huh?!"

Thank you teachers for such good memories these past few days. I just hope I make it through Friday alive.

How do you go to school when your sick?

2008-02-21T05:41:00.001-08:00

Have you ever tried to go to school when your sick? It is very hard, and I had first hand experience yesterday. But I am glad I went because I would have missed out on a ton of homework. But also in school we are starting to study FUNGI! We took a piece of bread and wiped it on a surface (in my case the toilet handle) that we thought would be of Fungi and took one piece of the bread we wiped and put it in the dark and the other in the light. After starting that expierament I thought I would be even more sick than I was before.

Being a brother

2008-02-08T15:34:00.000-08:00

Sometimes it is hard to be a brother. Your sisters scream and cry and you sometimes want to pound your brother. But there are many good things as well, such as playing with your sisters are playing catch with your brother. But one thing that really bothers me is the nonstop crying of my sisters. But it is getting better, and are home is becoming more peaceful because of it.

The joys of Spanish

2008-02-07T16:48:00.000-08:00

Guess what now instead of latin I have spanish. Hola, me think Espaniol et stupido. Well hopefully I will survive the rest of the year.

Weekend! YAAAAAAAAAAAA!

2008-01-04T14:37:00.000-08:00

I was so happy this week to walk off the bus and get home. But when I tried to ocupy the computer two girls were staring at the screen saver and would not even let me get close. So I had to sneak in and wiggle the mouse so it went off and the girls went away. Thus this blog:)

Ecoli

2007-12-28T09:33:00.000-08:00

Many people think that the flu is an extremely bad sickness. Boy are they ever wrong. Ecoli is about as bad as it gets when it comes to the flu like sicknesses. And I had first hand experience. It all starts when you have to use the bathroom every five to ten minuets. Then add the puking of about two to three times a day and you have yourself a good case of Ecoli. With me I had it for six horrible days. Three were spent at home and the others in the hospital. I hardly ate anything the whole time. When I finally got better I was practically starving. But how do you get Ecoli you might ask yourself. There are a number of ways but the biggest is eating or in my case drinking something with lots of bad bacteria. I got it by drinking water that had leeches (yes the leeches that you use for fishing or sucking blood) swimming around in it and with all there poop and pee with them. But why did I do it? I did it, because I got five bucks off a bet. But do not worry no leeches were harmed in the process. I just held them away with my hand and gulped down the water. And in five days time I was diagnosed with Ecoli. So my advice is STAY AWAY FROM LEECHES.

Christmas is coming

2007-12-22T10:01:00.000-08:00

I can't wait for Christmas! I am so excited! And I am also excited for the Vikings game. But I am not looking forward to after Christmas break. SCHOOL! :(

Candy, candy, and more candy

2007-12-18T14:56:00.000-08:00

Today we had secret Santa's and I got a ton of candy. I ate almost half and then I had a party in math were I ate even more. Afterwards I felt sick to my stomach. Lesson learned never eat to much candy, sugar, and pop. Never again will I eat that much candy.

Faith

2007-12-13T14:48:00.000-08:00

Today Faith was crying because she got her finger stuck in the door when David shut it. She cried for a while and then when she had finally calmed down she looked at David and said NO NO! And she kept saying it until we finally had to tell her to stop and my mom had to distract her with a movie.

Working around the system

2007-11-20T15:37:00.000-08:00

School is something that takes practice. Its not the listening or the learning, but the working to get the best grades possible. And here is how.
Way 1 to school perfection- ask your art teacher to help you so she does half the assignment for you and she gives you a really good grade(when really she is grading her work too).
Way 2 to school perfection-I don't mean to say this in a bad way but you have to learn how to act like you really like school and make sure teachers notice.(by the way this is my sarcastic side.)
And finally way three to school perfection- you have to learn how to do all the busy work that teaches you absolutely nothing and is only given to you to give the teacher more free time.

This is how you "work around the system."

Bored

2007-11-19T14:35:00.000-08:00

I am bored, very, very, very bored. I am looking forward to the long weekend, but that is still a day away. And right now it seems like a lifetime away.

Yes no homewor...What I have homework! sigh

2007-11-09T07:22:00.000-08:00

I thought this weekend I would get off with no homework. But the one teacher who never gives homework gave a project due Monday, wont that be bundles of fun.

:( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :(

No SCCCHHHHHHOOOOOLLLLLLL

2007-11-06T14:33:00.000-08:00

I am so happy, I don't have school on Thursday or Friday. I am very happy because that means less homework and more free time. And I am also very happy because the vikings whooped butt on Sunday. Oh YA.

Being sick

2007-11-01T16:18:00.000-07:00

Every kid at my school wishes they were sick. And I am sick with a sore throat. And I am happy and sad about it. Happy because I get to stay home, and sad because I miss out on homework. And Collin, the vikings will be back (insert evil laugh here).

ipods

2007-10-29T14:35:00.000-07:00

Ipods are really cool, but they are a pain in the butt to put music on. I spent over four hours trying to get 15 Cd's on my ipod. But I still like mine...Oh Collin the Vikings will have there revenge. :)

Faith

2007-10-22T15:08:00.003-07:00

Faith is a very interesting little girl. Sometimes she can be really mad, and at other times she can be very happy. And she can switch between the two personality's like a flash of lightning. One minuet she is fine the next she is screaming for no known reason. But we all love her to death and are so glad she is apart of the family (except for the non stop screaming in the car).

2007-10-22T15:07:00.000-07:00

2007-10-22T15:05:00.000-07:00

Heaven

2007-10-19T06:39:00.000-07:00

Have you ever thought about heaven? I seem to always catch myself thinking about it. It is always hard for me to grasp that if we are Christians we will go to heaven forever. I just can't begin to comprehend forever. Everything in our world has a beginning and an end but heaven is forever. And I can't wait to get there.

When will school end!

2007-10-12T05:22:00.000-07:00

I seem to think that school will never end. I do the same routine everyday, get ready for school, go to school, come home from school, do homework, go to bed early so I'm not tired for school the next day. That's what I feel like I do everyday (even though I have some fun stuff on the weekends and sometimes I play catch with my dad right when I get home). When will it ever end, my class also happens to be the most talkative class in the district! I'm trying to face it with a good attitude, but sometimes it's hard. Does anyone have any ideas on how to still have fun while I'm in school?

Awana

2007-10-04T16:17:00.000-07:00

Every Wednesday I have a good chance to minister to kids at our church. I get to hang out with them and try to be a Godly influence. I am a junior leader in a group of about five kids and it is fun. They memorize verses from the bible and say them to me and the other head leader. This is the head leaders first year and she is very nice. She does not quite know the system so it is also fun to help her. I also get to hang out with my friends which is also a highlight. It is a very good Chance for me to escape school and just relax. And I also have a chance to live my life to the glory of God.

Finally a good day

2007-10-03T14:22:00.000-07:00

Today I finally had a good day. I got only one homework assignment and that was to read a certain number of pages in a book. Like that's hard :). And I had a study hall at the end of the day so I just got to read. And in answer to a comment I got about my good spelling. Spell check is a wonderful thing :).

My average day

2007-10-02T14:49:00.000-07:00

Sometimes I think that all I do is go to school and come home and do homework. I feel that my whole life is spent doing schoolwork. And I feel like I hardly get to do anything fun. But I know that isn't true. So, I try to face my days with a good attitude. Even though lots of the time it is hard. I also have a hard time juggling schoolwork and other stuff outside of school. Often times I am overwhelmed. But I seem to have a good system. But today was a good day and I seem to have been getting a better hold on things.

The football game

2007-09-30T16:50:00.000-07:00

Today I went to a football game. And right next to me sat a guy who could not stop swearing and was yelling the whole game. And he was drunk out of his head. It was a very fun game eve though my team lost. And I hoped that that guy would stop swearing and turn his life toward Jesus.
