Abe Lincoln's Property

A Creep While Half Asleep

  Once during a dark, sleepy night, there was a ghost.  And out of all the people in the world to scare, this ghost, eeeeeeerrrrr...thing, chose to scare me.

  I was lying in my bed, thinking, when I moved my hair.  This particular section of hair always gets in my face, it's not unusual.  All of a sudden, something slapped me on the face.  Something cold, frozen.  I lay there, helpless, paralyzed, believing my life was in danger.  Shortly after the slap, was another haunting experience.  ''I'm gonna get you,'' The cold voice seemed to seep out of nowhere.  I stared straight up at  the ceiling.  I was incredibly paniced, so I made up my mind to bolt to my Mom and Dad's bedroom.

  I darted down the long hallway, the antecedant to their room.  The moon cast erie shadows on the wall.  I shivered in fear.  After speeding into their room I told the whole story.  They then comforted me by stating that the hand that slapped my face was probably my very own.  They also informed me that the voice I heard was probably my imagination, because it was very late and I needed rest.  This news reassured me and gave me peace.  I was so relieved, I literally flew to my lair and snuggled down in my bed and instantly fell asleep.

Courage

    Courage is discovering, finding a cause.  In those many times you fail, do not give up.  Keep trying, the Lord is with you.  Courage is friendship, being daring.  Columbus was challenged many a time.  He bore through the harsh winds and violent waves until he came to Cuba.  Real courage is not just getting your blood drawn.  When you are in times of need and trouble, deep inside your heart a key is put into a lock, a door is opened, and out comes courage.  In place of you is a new you, lively and bursting with energy.  You, but better, with courage!  It is what everybody wants, everybody orders on tv!  But it never arrives on a doorstep in a brown cardboard box.  Courage is not an object that you can see or touch.  It is not given by the UPS man but by our Lord Jesus Christ.

  The only way to have Courage is to believe in God.  He is our Eternal Father who guides us through life by training our actions and words.

Balloons

                                                             Balloons
                                                      can fly up in the
                                                  sky.  I wish I could too,
                                              but I am stuck to the ground
                                                  with imaginary glue.  T-
                                                      hink, wind under
                                                             your arms
                                                                  soar-
                                                                   ing
                                                                   over
                                                               farms.
                                                             How fun
                                                           it would
                                                           be to
                                                           fly.
                                                       
                                               
                                            
                                                                                                                                        

What I did Today

  Nothing out of the usual happened today.  I wrote my bible verse, did math, language and etc.  I  am not the best at language arts or math.  I guess that I should just try my hardest.  Enjoy this picture of Maya sniffing a turtle we rescued!

Name

Best Friends

  •   Today I am going over to my friend Abby Fakes' house.  We are probably going to play littlest pet shop, and maybe some sewer cat.  I am going to leave home to go to her house at 1pm.  I can't wait to see her. She is my best friend, and Anna is also.  I am going to invite both of them to my fantasy birthday party.
