thankful
Hey guys!
I hope everyone had a WONDERFUL Thanksgiving!! I spent Thursday with my mom's relatives at the lake and Friday with my dad's side of the family up the street. I got to see all my cousins and family in 2 days, so that was pretty cool. =) I know this is late, but I thought I would make a random list of things I'm thankful for...
Flowers AMERICA Family My home Jesus indoor plumbing Nature Freedom the people who keep us free my education Animals uniqeness SALVATION the ability to walk, talk, smell, feel, and see Friends music Individuality grandparents, cousins, aunts, and uncles Art
These are just a few of the things I am thankful for...some of them may seem silly, but I could not imagine life without them. =)

Reformation Day 2009
What is Reformation Day?? It is a event our church hosts (with a LOT of work from Lauren and her family) every year on October 31st. This year we celebrated John Calvin and the people who were influenced by his life.
Ben
I wrote this paper for an English comp class I'm taking...
Ben: Creativity
(sorry! for some reason I can't indent the paragraphs, so it is hard to read.)
It is hard to have a boring school day with my eight year old brother, Ben. He is always thinking of some new and exciting thing he wants to do or be. Just yesterday, he decided he was going to be a bird watcher. He searched through musty boxes until he found our dad’s old binoculars. He then immediately got to work raising his blinds so he could, “study the birds”. Knowing Ben, this phase will not last long, and tomorrow he will be a survivor man, brain surgeon, or famous singer.
No matter what he is doing, Ben always uses his imagination to make life exciting. If he is practicing his piano, he pretends to be playing in Carnage Hall. If he is cleaning up Legos, he turns into an uncontrollable tornado and destroys his creations before putting the pieces away. If he is sent outside to play by himself, he pretends he is a lost child who must find his way home before supper.
Ben is also very creative about showing how much he loves us. Last Valentine’s Day, he gave me a red dog he made out of paper hearts. It was very cute considering he glued most of the hearts on crooked. In his spare time, he loves to “invent” things for us. Last week he had us running all over the house trying to find the items he needed to create a special machine he had pictured in his head. My favorite thing about Ben is how he can come up with ways to make me smile when I am sad.
I believe many people are drawn to Ben because of his creative attributes and boundless imagination. He makes friends with everyone he talks to no matter how old or young they are. Sometimes he can be annoying, but he mostly just keeps us laughing. I am grateful God has blessed me with such a creative little brother.

Pumkin
A woman was asked by a coworker, 'What is it like to be a Christian?' The coworker replied, 'It is like being a pumpkin.' God picks you from the patch, brings you in, and washes all the dirt off of you. Then He cuts off the top and scoops out all the yucky stuff. He removes the seeds of doubt, hate, and greed. Then He carves you a new smiling face :-) and puts His light inside of you to shine for all the world to see!
