Just in Time Chapter 2: Captured

Hi! Was the last chapter confusing? I hope it wasn't. I did my best. Today's chapter is still in your point of view but the next chpter's will be different so DON'T SKIP THIS INTRO SECTION! The next chapters are going to be different because what happens in this chapter. Alright, to the recap! Recap: You wake up in a shiny hallway in a great amount of pain. When the pain subsides, you find Cosmos and follow him. He drags you to his hoverboard and ou two esacpe the GEM. You get really sick and while Cosmos and his friends, Arch and Kelly are arguing. You fall unconscious. To the story!

Chapter 2: Captured
I groan softly. I hear a low humming noise that reminds me of Cosmos's hoverboard. Oh, no! Please, someone get me off this thing! I open my eyes slightly. Suprisingly, I don't feel pain. I have a bit of a headache, but it's minor. Cosmos turns to me and smirks. "So, Sleepy Beauty finally awakes." I pout and turn away. BAD idea. I see the ground far below us and feel dizzy again. I quickly look for anything else to look at and just look at my hands. "We're heading back to RR HQ." Cosmos tells me over the wind. I frown but say nothing. I see his friends Kelly and Arch hovering next to us. As we reach HQ, Arch leads Kelly into a room that has the words, "Infirmery" on it. I feel Cosmos shove me towards the room. "Come on. Are you always this slow?" I huff and stomp towards the door leaving Cosmos laughing behind me.
In the room, Kelly is getting her arm relocated. I look around. Computer screens are holographic, keyboards float, robots clean up the room, for some reason everything here seems so different from my home, where ever that is. The nurse, who isn't robotic, gives me a quick check up and says that I'm just suffering from fatigue. "Go get some rest in the guest rooms." I nod and do as she says. Sadly, I completely forgot to ask for directions and end up getting myself lost. I sigh, but I see Cosmos walking outside. Part of me says that I should follow him. The other half says that last time time I followed him, I fell unconscious. The first half wins the battle, and I run after him.
"Oi, Cosmos!" I shout. He spins around and clamps his hand over my mouth which I bite hard. He pulls his hands back a rubs the part where I bit him.
Glaring at me, he asks, "What are you doing? You need to rest."
I look down embarrassed. "I got lost." He rolls his eyes at me.
"Look, I just have to get my board, and then I'll show you the way." I grin my thanks, but as we're walking back a laser burns the tree we are next to.
"Hahahahahaha! I've got you now!" says the alien police man. Cosmos growls and tosses me his phone.
"Call Arch to get the ship started." I do as he asks as he yells onto the man. "You'll have to catch us frist Zander!" He drags me onto the board and zooms off. I'm determined not to scream and feel the familiar sense of nausia. As we fly off, a laser drills itself into my leg causing me to stumble. "Hold on, er, I can't believe I still don't know your name!" He asks annoyed. What is my name? Sam, Sully, I know!
"Sally! I'm Sally Maroles!" I say to him. He nods and continues to fly. Sadly, Zander is a good marksman. He blasts the engine of the hoverboard, and we begin to fall. I change my mind. I'm gonna scream. "AHHHHHHH!"
Cosmos grabs me and blasts a torpedo like thing with a cord tied to it. It sticks itself deep into the side of the HQ which is now flying. "How is a building flying?" I ask.
"It's actually a ship not a building!" he yells back. Suddenly, Zander takes out a huge gun like thingy and blasts the cord that's holding us. "Oh, great." Cosmos grumbles trying to stay calm, but I could see the panic in his eyes. A crazy, heroic idea pops into my brain. I can't believe I'm doing this. I mean I don't even know the guy.
"Cosmos! Would it hold you by yourself?" He nods. Check one. "Do you think they'll question me too? I mean I don't know where I was born much less what's going on here." He shakes his head know. Realization begins to come to him. I have to hurry. "Get inside!" I shouts before letting go of Cosmos, who had the cord tied around his waist. My visions blurs slightly, but I can still see Cosmos's horrified face as I fall towards earth. I leg stings badly so I won't be running. I landed in the lake and knock my head on a rock. Second time today. I think before everything goes black, again. 

What's UP! It's Hymn Time!

Okay! Today's hymn is talking about how God took us to be His children just as we are. We didn't do anything. God did it. He cleansed us. He loves us that much. Today's hymn is "Just As I Am". Enjoy!

Just As I Am
1. Just as I am, without one plea, 
 but that thy blood was shed for me, 
 and that thou bidst me come to thee, 
 O Lamb of God, I come, I come. 

2. Just as I am, and waiting not 
 to rid my soul of one dark blot, 
 to thee whose blood can cleanse each spot, 
 O Lamb of God, I come, I come. 

3. Just as I am, though tossed about 
 with many a conflict, many a doubt, 
 fightings and fears within, without, 
 O Lamb of God, I come, I come. 

4. Just as I am, poor, wretched, blind; 
 sight, riches, healing of the mind, 
 yea, all I need in thee to find, 
 O Lamb of God, I come, I come. 

5. Just as I am, thou wilt receive, 
 wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve; 
 because thy promise I believe, 
 O Lamb of God, I come, I come. 

6. Just as I am, thy love unknown 
 hath broken every barrier down; 
 now, to be thine, yea thine alone, 
 O Lamb of God, I come, I come. 

Have an awesome day!

HI!!!!!!!!!!!!! Are You Ready for the New Verse?

Alright, my morning strated off with a visit to the dentist. Personally, I don't like people using sharp objects picking stuff ot of my mouth. I won't complain though since without them, I'd probably have a mouth full of cavities. Anyway, today's verse is II Corinthians 5:7. "For we walk by faith, not by sight:" This verse is reminding us that we are Chrstians through faith. We believe without seeing. A couple weeks ago I did the verse about how Jesus told Thomas that he should've believed without seeing Christ. Well, if you truly want to be a Chrstian, you need to believe without seeing. That is a main requiement. To have faith iin God's love, wisdom, and power. Have faith in what Jesus has done for you. Believe that Jesus, the Son of God, was born of a virgin. Believe that He lived life here on earth from a baby to an adult and not once did He sin. Believe that He died on the cross, a painful, shameful, death. Believe He rose again three days later. Believe that He is in heaven right now interceeding to taking our prayers to God for us. You need to believe your a sinner, and that you can't save yourself. Believe that you are unworthy of God's love, but He loves you anyway. That is how you get saved. You humble yourself and believe without seeing. You may think that your doing something by humbling yourself, but you have the Holy Spirit to thank for that. Without the Holy Spirit, you wouldn't even think about praying. You may not even know what praying is! God didn't everything. We didn't save ourselves. It was God's gift that saved us. It was the faith that He gave us that saved us. It was Jesus, the Son of God, who was the sacrifice that saved us. It's all God's doing. We couldn't and  wouldn't do anything without God's help. We coldn't even breathe without His help. We have to believe that by faith. Can we see God? No. Can we see fire coming from heaven? Hope. Can we see Jesus? Nada. We can't see proof. We can only believe. Will you?

Just in Time Chapter 1: The Chase

Hey! Alright, this is the new story. Again I would like to remind you that I'm trying a new story format so bear with me. Every new chapter I'll tell you what point of view that the story is typed in. Today's chapter is in your point of view. Again, I'm sorry guys, but the character is a girl. Oh, the name and looks have alread y been chosen. Don't read the snippet I wrote earlier. It is VERY confusing. I'm doing the story in a different format. Alright, let's go!

Chapter 1: The Chase
Ow. Everything hurts. I groan and slowly open my eyes. Why am I here? Where am I? Why can't I remember anything? I slowly got up and grab the silvery walls for support. I glance down at my clothes. I sigh with relief for a reason I'm not sure of. I wince slightly and limp down the hall. I glance around. Everything's so new, so shiny, so metalic. I glance at the windows only to see that they were mirrors. The people inside could see out, but the people outside couldn't see in. After a few minutes of limping, the pain sudsides for a while. Just then, I hear shouts and running feet. My throat dries up, and I look around frantically for a place to hide. A boy with black hair runs past me. He looks nice enough. I take a deep breath and begin running after him. "Excuse me, mister." I ask timidly. He glances over his shoulder at me and his green eyes looks questioningly at me. I duck my head from his gaze. "Can you tell me what's going on? And your name?"
He sighs and quickly says, "Cosmos Strate, escaping from GEM." I am confused. As if reading my mind he replies before I could ask my next question. "No time explain. Why are you following me?" I look away.
"I'm lost and confused." I try to elaborate but shouts from behind us stop me. I glance fearfully over my shoulder and see three men wearing green and silver suits that reminds me of the clothes worn by cartoon martians. I almost giggle but the men start blasting lasers at us. My body screams in protest as Cosmos makes me speed up. A laser whizzes right above his head. I couldn't help but giggle. He frowns at me. "Quit giggling! I don't even know why your here. You've just made yourself a target of the GEM."
I sigh. "The space dudes?"
Now it was his turn to chuckle. "Yes, the space dudes." One of the men shouts to Cosmos to stop but he yells no thanks and jumps out a window pulling me with him. We land on a hoverboard that is under the window. Cosmos pushes a button with his foot and his feet gets strapped onto the contraption. Smashing a helmet onto my head, he presses another button with his other foot and we begin flying off. Did I mention I have a really BIG fear of heights? I scream my head off as we flying at an atonishing speed above the town. "Quit screaming!" he shouts at me over the wind.
I manage to clamp my mouth shut and hold on tight. As we fly through town, a group of men who look like police officers from space chase us on hovercars.
"Cosmos Strate, get off your hoverboard with your hands up. Place the strange looking girl down too."
"I'm NOT strange!" I say pouting as we continue to fly through the streets. Cosmos doesn't pay attention to the comment and looks at a boy and a girl on similar hoverboards. The boy make an A with his hands and Cosmos nods. He grins at me.
"Hold on tight." I gulp and conply just as he goes even faster. I didn't even know there is a faster! We past a store that says Feed Mart. Turning abruptly left then up we begin flying up the building's walls. The police cars can't fly like a hoverbaord can so we lose the pursuers. Cosmos spin around a thing that looks relatively like a water tower. I feel like I'm going to lose my lunch. I don't even remember I had lunch! Suddenly, we nose drive towards a park. It takes all the will power in me to not scream. As we slow to a stop, I see the boy and the girl from earlier. The boy looks SUPER mad.
"What were you thinking? Rescuing Kelly was dangerous enough, but you had to pick up another girl!" Cosmos shrugs and unstraps himself from the hoverboard as I got down dizzily. My body is still in pain from the running, and that ride give me a migrain. The world starts spinning as the boy, Cosmos calls him Arch, demands an explanation.
"I don't know her. She just followed me." Cosmos says. Aw, great. Everything's fuzzy and the voices are all blurry. I land flat on my back as the migrain and pain become too much. "Hey, get up. Come on. You can't be that sick." Cosmos says frowning at my weakness. I scowl at him but still can't get up.
"She could be really wimpy." says the girl named Kelly.
"Or she could've been sick before Cosmos got her." Arch says. I like his suggestion better.
"I didn't know amesia had side effects like this." I mumble aloud, my voice beginning to slur.
"Amesia?" Cosmos asks shocked. He tries to ask me another question but I don't hear him. He shakes me, which doesn't help. I try to stay awake but I couldn't and fall conscious.  

Hát với tôi! Sing with me!

Hey! It's me! I desided to make my titles Vietnamese today. Today's hymn is about how powerful and great our God is. He made the worlds and He can do anything. He knows all and controls all, but He has given us a free will. I don't understand it, but that's because my brain is finite. God chooses not to reveal everything to us. We just have to have faith. The hymn for today is "How Great Thou Art". Enjoy!

How Great Thou Art
Stanza 1:
O Lord my God,
When I in awesome wonder
Consider all
The works Thy Hand hath made,
I see the stars,
I hear the mighty thunder,
Thy pow'r throughout
The universe displayed.
Stanza 2:
When through the woods
And forest glades I wander
I hear the birds
Sing sweetly in the trees;
When I look down
From lofty mountain grandeur
And hear the brook
And feel the gentle breeze;
Refrain:
Then sings my soul,
My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art!
How great Thou art!
Then sings my soul,
My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art!
How great Thou art!
Stanza 3:
When Christ shall come,
With shouts of acclamation,
And take me home,
What joy shall fill my heart!
Then I shall bow
In humble adoration
And there proclaim,
"My God, how great Thou art!"
Refrain:
Then sings my soul,
My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art!
How great Thou art!
Then sings my soul,
My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art!
How great Thou art!

Have an awesome day!

Good Morning! It's time for the New Verse!

Hi! What's up everyone! It's about 10:05 where I live and I hope you are awake by then. I just don't understand how people can sleep past 9:00. I can't sleep past then. I can't. Anyway, today's verse is Psalm 102:25. "Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of thy hands." This verse is saying that God made the earth, and the skies are the result of His work. We live in a world where God is constantly being pushed out of the picture. Evolution, atheism, and beliefs like them want to believe that there isn't a god. I know that all of this makes sense to those who are raised in homes that believe in the evolution theory. I go to BJA, which is a Christian school. I've been taught about Creation and how God created the world in six days and rested on the seventh. People who were taught differently think we're nuts. I think that our beliefs and theirs beliefs require the same amount of faith, believing without seeing. Some say that the Christians can't do science because they test everything they find with the Bible. In science, you have a "skeleton" that is made of facts that you believe are completely true. Then, you find the "flesh and skin" which is the new imformation about the subjects in the skeleton. If the "flesh and skin" doesn't match, the scientist's immedately thinks that he made a mistake because his faith in the "skeleton" is too strong to say that the "skeleton" is wrong. Christians and evolutionists alike all have a skeleon that they believe is true. We believe the Bible has all the facts we need. The evolutionists have their many theories. We all have that faith in what we believe happened at Creation or for evolutionists the Big Bang. I believe God is great and that He made the entire world out of nothing. THe verse that we're looking at says that from the old which is the beginning of time, God set the foundations of earth. God has always been and always will be. He set the foundations for this earth and made the skies ony a couple THOUSAND years ago. He will in the future, tears the foundations and the skies apart and creat a new perfect world where He will dwell with His children. That's my skeleton. The Bible is a history book, a science book, and a guide for the Christian life. Worldly things will crumpled and be destroyed, but God's word will NEVER be destroyed.

HELLO! It's Today's Hymn!

HI!!!!!!!!!!!! Today's hymn is talking about how we should be ready to serve God anywhere and everywhere we go. It's hard to be ready when your not sure what to do. We shold read God's word and pray. God'll show us where He wants us to go. We need to set the weights, our sins, aside. We need to do our best for God. This hymn is "I'll Run the Race". Are you going to run it well?

I'll Run the Race
1. The date is set; the time is come; the witnesses arrive.
The course is marked; the men prepared; all the weights set aside.
Positions are assumed and taken, energies now reawaken;
Empty thoughts are all forsaken. I must win the prize.
            (Chorus)
            I'll run this race with patience.
            I'll run this race with joy.
            I'll fix my eyes on Jesus' face,
            the One who saved me by His matchless grace.
2. My course is set; my God designed it all for HIs cause.
I will not live for selfish gain or die for man's applause.
My Savior, Love, my Passion, King, His ev'ry blessed Word I'll cling.
To Him, His ev'ry wish I'll bring, till Jesus calls my home.
            (Chorus)

Have an awesome day!

HI HI! It's Time for the Verse!

Hello! I just wanted to say, er, type that I'm here to help and spread God's word. If you have anything you want to ask, and I mean ANYTHING, just comment or, if it's something you don't want others to know about email me. Of course I'm not asking you to tell me about SUPER personaly things. I just what to help. If you ust need someone to tyep to, I could do that. Just remember that I'm not a faceless girl that is really weird. I'm a person, though I've got to admit that I can be pretty strange, just ask my buddies Monkey (nickname) or AJ (initials). Anyway, enough with random babbling. Today's verse is Luke 2:52. "And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man." The verse is talking about Jesus growing up. We don't know anything about Jesus' life between the ages of twelve to about thirty. This verse tells us what Jesus did in that time frame. Let's look at them one at a time. The first is wisdom. Jesus grew in wisdom. This one is rather simple. Jesus got smarter. He learned more. He learned from his earthly father how to be a carpenter. He learned about more things as He grows up. He learned like us. We go to school to learn. Jesus learned and He's God. We should learn as well. I know, ugh. So boring. God has put us in the school we're in for a reason. We have to do His will and do our best in school. The next thing that Jesus grew in was stature. That's ever easier to explain. He grew taller. He grew more mature. We all grow though sadly my growth is VERY slow. I'm so short! Oh well. My entire family's short with te exception of a few uncles. We grow in height, weight, and other things. Jesus grew stronger from all the work as a carpenter's son. He grew up to become a man. We grow as we do sports. We should do our best in that too. The next thing Christ grew in favour with God. He grew spiritually. He grew in the gospel. He only had the Old Testament, the Torah, to study from, but He grew closer to his heavenly Father. We have the entire Bible in our hands. We should read it everyday. If we don't, we don't have much of a chance to grow in the gospel. How do you grow in something that you barely spend reading? The last thing Jesus grew in was favour with man. Jesus was a social kid. He had friends. He was nice. People got along with Him. We should be like that too. How are we going to reach others for Christ if we're sitting in our room playing video games or if we barely talk to anyone. How are we going to show Christ if we always agrue? We need to be a person that people get along with. We can't get along with kids and not adults. We need to be able to tell others, not matter what the age, religion, gender, or race. Jesus didn't grow in these things one by one. He grew in all of them at the same time. We can't be exactly like Jesus, but we can always try.

Hey! New Story info

Alright. Te new story this time will be a futuristic mystery. I'm going to take a little break for today and tormorrow, but on Wednesday I'll put up the first chapter. The story's format is a bit odd so I'll explain it to you. You are a character. It's not like the OC characters. The main character in the story, will be revealed later on, talks to you, but instead of having you answer, the character will respond and that'll give you an idea of what you would say. Sorry male readers. The character's a girl. You're names has been chosen. I know I could put a name blank, but then I'll forget to put it and begin to type a random name in the blank or put my own name in it. Just in case you didn't realize it, I have BAD memory. If you're confused, don't worry. Below, I've up some example sentences to read. (Not from story. Random sentences.)

(Someone talks to you and you answer.)
1. "Who are you anyway?" You're snapped out of your stunned daze and answer him. "Oh, Sally's your name and you're from Dallas."
2. "Hold on tight!" he said laughing at you're frightened face. "What was that? You're gonna be sick? Hah!"
(You doing something with another character.)
1. Josh (old character from previous story) grabs your arm and drags you far away from the warehouse. You try to keep up with his sprint but are too tired.

That's really it. Oh, and I'm going to try something different with the chapters for this story. The beginning will be in you're point of view, but later in the story, because of a certain event, I'll switch back and forth between you're point of view and the main character's. I wrote the snippet of this stor in the main character's point of view and had you answering without words. Let's just say it was really confusing. So, I'm changing the format. Thanks for readnig the notice.

What's Up! Hey Everyone! It's the Hymn for Today!

HI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Alright, today's hymn is "Thank You, Lord." Those words aren't said as often as they should. I'm guilty of being ungrateful too. All of us are, but we can always try to be more thankful than we are now. Enjoy!

Thank You, Lord

1. Some thank the Lord for friends and home
For mercies sure and sweet
But I would praise Him for his grace
In prayer I would repeat
      Refrain:
      Thank you, Lord, for saving my soul
      Thank you, Lord, for making me whole
      Thank you, Lord, for giving to me
      Thy great salvation so rich and free
2. Some thank Him for the flow’rs that grow
Some for the stars that shine
My heart is filled with joy and praise
Because I know He’s mine
3. I trust in Him from day to day
I prove His saving grace
I’ll sing this song of praise to Him
Until I see His face

Have an awesome day peoples! :o)

Hey, Hi, Hello! It's Time for the Verse!

Hi!!!!!!!!!!!! Heh, I kinda went overboard with the exclamation points. Anyway, if you what anything, a different story, advice, a change in format, a certain verse to study, a certain topic to talk about, whatever, just ask. I'm open to suggestions, maybe too open at times but oh well. So don't be afraid to comment! I enjoy reading the comments. :o) Anyway, today's verse is Luke 18:18. (The numbers were accidental. I was looking up the verse and I didn't realize the coincidence.) "There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger." This is Jesus speaking. In the passage, Jesus and his disciples come across a group of lepers (people with leprosy) sitting at the gates of a village on the road to Jerusalem. The lepers cried our to Him because they knew He could heal them. Jesus told them to show themselves tothe priests. So the ten lepers walked to the tabernacle to visit the priests. As they walked, they were healed. Nine of the lepers were Jews, God's chosen people. One was a Samaritan, a person witha Jewish parents and a non-Jewish parent. Samaritans and Jews didn't get along. So it was shocking when the only person that went back to Jesus, a Jew, and thanked Him was the Samaritan. That's when Jesus says the verse that we're studying today. "There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger" He knows that the other men were ungrateful of hte gift of healing. Only this Samaritan was grateful. He tells His disciples that no one came back to give glory to God for the healing except the stranger, the non-Jew. Even though most Samaritans have some Jewish blood in them, they are considered strangers to the Jews. Jesus later says to the man to go home because his faith has made him whole. Now, how does this apply to us today? Well, you know how people call other people names like dumbo, idiot, stupid, and a lot of other names I don't think is appropriate to type here. Well, I think one of the worst names you can call someone is ungrateful. I mean, it doesn't sound like much but if you think about it, it really is a very bad character trait. Those men were ungrateful. They didn't appreciate the gift that was given to them. What about you? You've got talents. Do you take them for granted and show off? Or do you use them to bring God glory. Let's go a bit deeper. What about your school? I know there are some Christians who are reading this. Are you thankful for the Christian school you can go to? Or are you hating the place because of the dress code or the strict rules. Those rules are there to help you grow in the gospel and to protect you from temptations. You should be grateful at least. Now, I'm going to get a bit personal about the next one. What about your family? Are you thankful for that kind mother that went through perhaps hours of pain when she gave birth to you? Are you thankful for that father who supplies for you and protected you when you were a defensless baby? Are you thankful, Christians around the world, for the many, many, prayers that were prayed by your parents every night for you? You Christians for Christian homes are blessed beyond compare. There are Christians that are suffering because of their beliefs and thier parents. They can't go to a nice church. They might not have mre than one Bible. They might not go t a Christian school. There are a lot of things to be grateful for. To think that you make fun of the dad that took care of you and helped you walk the Christian walk just to get some laughs with your friends is saddening. Do you not know that there are people in the world who don't have Christian parents like you do? If you do know that, why do you mock them? Call them "uncool". Why do you push away the two people who should be the closest to you? If you're ashamed of your parents, you're ashamed of your Savior. Think. Why are you doing what you are doing? It doesn't take much work to be an ungrateful brat even if you don't realize it.

Hey, Hey, Hey! It's the New Hymn!

Hi! Did you read the verse? It has a VERY IMPORTANT notice on it. I sugest you read it. Anyway, Today's hymn goes with the idea to trusting God and folowing Him anywhere and everywhere. Can you do that? Do you trust God to provide for you if your far away from home? Today's hymn is "Here Am I". I hope you like it. Enjoy!

Here Am I
1. Master, you call me,
I gladly obey;
Only direct me
And I’ll find the way.
Teach me the mission
Appointed for me,
What is my labor
And where it shall be.
(Chorus)
Master, you call me,
And this I reply,
“Ready and willing, Lord,
Here am I.”

2. Willing, my Savior,
To take up the cross;
Willing to suffer
Rejection and loss.
Willing to follow
If you will but lead;
Only support me
With grace in my need.

3. Pardon whenever
I turn from the night.
Pity, and bring me
Again to the light.
Living or dying,
I rest in your love,
Until that moment
I see you above.

Master, you call me,
And this I reply
“Ready and willing, Lord,
Here am I,
Lord, here am I.”

Have a nice day!

Hey! It's the Verse!

Hi! I'm so sorry! I've got a different posting schedule now and I completely forgot to tell you guys about it. On Saturdays and sometimes Sundays I won't be posting. I sometimes have guest over on Sunday. And on Saturday, I'm not home. I tried posting outside of home but it got complicated since I have everything on the computer nad laptop at my house. The posting for the short stores is a bit different too. I'll only be posting chapters on the weekdays when I have time and I'm at home without guests to attend to. Anyway, today's verse is Mark 4:40. "And he said unto them, Why are ys so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?" This is Jesus speaking to his disciples when they are in a boat on the sea. The disciples were afraid because a massive storm has arisen and they are in a little fishing boat. They wake up Jesus who was sleeping at the time and asked Him if they're going to die. Jesus stands up and says "Peace be still." The storm ceased immediately. Jesus demonstrated His control over nature when He did that. He then turned to them and asked them why were they so scared? Do them have no faith. Everytime you worry about something, you're showing your lack of faith in God's ability to protect you, to provide for you, or to keep His promises. Whether it's on of those or another doubt, the result is the same. Sin comes when you worry over the litle or big things. You should be able to place all your cares all your trust in God's mighty hand. You should trust your Savior so much that if God asked you to go and bring the gospel to a cannibal tribe in some remote area of Africa or South America or New Zealand or some other place, you'd do it. You should be able to say when you're dieing or in pain that God's going to take you home. Have your trust in God firmly planted on the promises in the Scriptures so when Satan comes to tempt you, you can protect yourself. Calm down and do be hasty. Wait on your Savior to do His will. Have faith in your God. God is a personal God that hears all the prayers of His children. You don't need to worry about God not hearing you. He will hear, but He'll respond with a yes, no, or wait. He won't always give you what you want. Remember to keep your faith because God hasn't broken a promise yet, and He won't break any promises anytime soon.

Freedom at Last Epilogue

I can't believe Artemis died! Actually, I planned for it to happen so...ignore the sentence. Anyway, how's the pics. Are they waht you thought the characters looked like? The characters aren't wearing that clothes in the pics. I couldn't find good pics of medival people that looked like the characters of the story. Oh well. I did my best. Sorry if it's a bit of a disappointment. On to the epilogue!

Epilogue
King James and his advisor Zero stands in front of a large white tomestone.
Artemis Trelanf
A great NightHunter, a greater friend
Zero places a bouquet of lilies, his former apprentice's favorite flower, on the ground next to the grave. It's been a year and a half since she died and the country is prospering. James stares at the grave. How could anyone not respect her? She gave up everything to save the kingdom. She left her power crazed brother behind and became the first female NightHunter.
Zero told him that she had been adopted into the family. Her first family were slaughtered by the bandits from Sarda. After that, they burned the house to the ground with the bodies still inside. Artemis had fled through a small window and witnessed the whole thing. She, being only seven, cried in the bushes until Mrs. Titews found her. Out of the power crazed family, Mrs. Titews wasn't like her husband or her son. She took good care of Artemis but was killed when she oppsed her husband's rebellion against the king. Artemis couldn't object because she was dragged by Ravew to the training ground and used as a training dummy. She ran away when her father was killed and Ravew was in a fit of rage. Zero had found her scared and bleeding from the abuse from Ravew. He took her in and she always tried to make others happy ever since. She said that she didn't want anyone to be sorrowful. She wanted others to feel the love that she was deprived of as a child.
James gently places his own bouquet of lillies on the grave. "Thanks to you, freedom is here. Artemis, you've impacted people, especially girls, throughout this country. Thank you, my friend for your advice and your smile. Good-bye, Artemis."

Make Way for the New Verse!

HI! I'M HAPPY TODAY! I don't know why I get hyper all of a sudden. Sometimes it's when something good happens. Sometimes it's to cheer someone up by a encouraging comment or a playful tease. Sometimes I'm just happy for what God has done. Today I'm happy because I'm a child of God, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. The hymn today's talks about how we're children of the King. Today's hymn is "Child of the King". I hope you like it!

Child of the King
1. My Father is rich in houses and lands,
He holdeth the wealth of the world in His hands!
Of rubies and diamonds, of silver and gold,
His coffers are full, He has riches untold.
       (Refrain)
       I'm a child of the King,
      A child of the King:
      With Jesus my Savior,
       I'm a child of the King.
2. My Father's own Son, the Savior of men,
Once wandered on earth as the poorest of them;
But now He is pleading our pardon on high,
That we may be His when He comes by and by.
(Refrain)
3. I once was an outcast stranger on earth,
A sinner by choice, an alien by birth,
But I've been adopted, my name's written down,
An heir to a mansion, a robe and a crown.
(Refrain)
4. A tent or a cottage, why should I care?
They're building a palace for me over there;
Though exiled from home, yet still may I sing:
All glory to God, I'm a child of the King.
(Refrain)

Have a fantastical day ladies and gents!


Hey, How's It Going? It's Time for the Verse!

Hey! So, do you have an answer to my question? Well, you can tell me with you want you. I also wanted to ask why you don't take the polls of anything like that, but it's fine if you don't. I'm not forcing you. I live in a free country so, no forcing people to do stuff. I won't beg and make you feel bad either. Anyway, today's vere is I Corinthians 15:2. "By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain." This verse is saying that once your saved, you can't just say, "Yes! Now, I'm going to heaven. Well, I'm not the preaching person I'll just pray." You can't just sit back and let all the other Christians do all your work for you. There are people who you have access to, but other Christians won't have that. You need to witness. You can't just do nothing. When you're saved, you should want to serve God anyway you can. If you don't feel like doing anything outside of church, I would be wondering if you're truely a child of God. James 2 says that we should want to show our love for our Savior. The salvation we received through FAITH should show itself through the WORKS you do to win others to Christ. If you don't, you're believing in vain. You keep the happiness and desire to serve God in your mind. You should remember how happy you were when you just got saved. Satan will try to get you to stop witnessing to become lax and uncaring about what you believe. DON'T LISTEN TO HIM!  He's just trying to keep his hold on the losts souls all over the world. If he begins telling you that you can't do anything or that you don't need to d anything, do what Jesus did and quote Scripture or parts of it. What I do is think of pieces and themes in the Bible that prove what Satan is saying is wrong. It helps when you feel that tempting prodding of the devil. You can't forget the way of salvation. That's what you need to tell others. You need to tell them what God has done in your life. How can you be an effective witness if the word of God goes in one ear and come sout the other? You need to pay attention and don't forget wht God has taught you that day through other Christians or His word. Don't live in vain belief. Live what you believe. Act and talk the way that would tell others you're a child of the King.

Freedom at Last Chapter 7: Freedom's Price

Hey! Tomorrow's chapter isn't really a chapter. It's more of a short epilogue of what happens years later. I am putting up the pics of characters after this. Today's the grand finale. It's has a different ending. Read and find out. Recap: James and Zero were about Artemis's successful siege and the qualities of a NightHunter. Zero mentioned the hidden passageways underneath the castle. Artemis then comes to gring the news. Castle Torienaw is in sight. To the final chapter!

Chapter 7: Freedom's Price
Ravew paces angrily. How dare those lords defy him. His lineage deserves the throne, not the weak Armonts. He scoffs and kicks a nearby officer. "Get forces to that fort. NOW!" The officers staggers down the hall, clutching his stomach. Little did Ravew kew,  James had called for reinforcments from Gorwen before he left. One of the NightHunters named, Gordon, had ridden on Strike, the fastest horse in the NightHunters, to Gorwen and is now riding back with reinforcments. By the time Ravew's men got there, they would be met by a army a trained Gorwen knights and be obliterated.
While Ravew is taking his time abusing his men, James is jogging lightly underneath the castle. Zero leads the army through the twists and turns. Artemis and a few other NightHunters found out yesterday that a large chunk of the defending army was willing to help fight. Artemis, Keith, Jordan, and Stephan are getting that chunk into place. Zero raises a hand and motions upwards. "This leads to the throne room. Artemis has infliterated Ravew's maids and says that he is in the room abusing his men. We need to have him move into a room nearby so we can get out of this tunnel without getting crowded by Ravew's loyal men." James nods understanding. A sinking feeling in his gut tells him that something's going to go wrong. He shrugs it off and adjusts his shield. Grunts and shouts rumble above. A quiet settles and a shuffle of feet begin walking out the southern exit of the throne room. Zero slowly leads them to the hidden door. After five minutes of silence, Zero slides the door out of the way.
 Ravew is fuming. A loud crash sounds from outside of room. He and his men come out to see that pesty female NightHunter, Artemis. That girl has gotten under his skin more times than he has fingers and toes to count. She has her hood knocked off and is pouting. Ravew grins at her. "Oh, look what has happened. I win Artemis. You can't beat your older brother."
James freezes. He stands next to the large doors listening. "No way!" he whispers hoarsly. Zero clamps a hand on his mouth. "I know it's suprising, but we have to be quiet." James nods slowly.
Ravew's voice rings through the door. "Time to behead you." Zero nods once and the army gets ready to charge. A man shouts that an army has been spotted to the east. There are villagers to the west lauching smoke and fire bombs slings and catapults. Ravew growls and the hidden army streams out of the throne room. "What!" the evil king roars. He turns to face a boy. A boy who looks just like the man he murdered 15 years ago. "How?"
James glares at the man in front of him. Artemis is already hacking her way through the crowd. "This is my family's throne Ravew, and I plan to take it back. There were shouts coming from the courtyard. Ravew glances out to see some of his own men wrecking the yards and causing mass confusion for the defenders fighting the army outside. "It's over, Ravew." Ravew screams with rage and lunges at him. The strength behind the blow jars James shield arm. He jumps back and shrugs his shoulder trying to fight back the numb feeling. Ravew smirks and begins to slice and hack at James' shield. As another numbing blown crashes down on his shield, James let's the shield go and Ravew pulls his sword which flings the shield at him. Ducking from the shield, he gets a wound to the stomach by James. Ravew straggers into his army lines and three other men run up to engage James in battle. After stabbing the first in the gut and twisting his sword free, James turns to his second attacker not seeing the third behind him. As the second attacker fell, James feels blood splash against his neck. Turning around, his throat grows dry. Artemis stands two feet away from him with the third Black Rider's spear embedded into her chest. Straggering backwards, she falls to her knees. James cuts the surprised assainant across the neck and turns to Ravew as he charges to him. As he struggles to keep his sword in his hand, Ravew delivers a shattering blow, literally. James sword shatters a foot from the hilt. He jumps back from the hissing blade and looks around desperately from another weapon. A sword slides on his feet. Picking it up, he does a series of forehand, backhand, and thrusts that are even faster than the ones Ravew had done. At a sudden change in the swing, Ravew exposes his chest slightly. The gap is small but it is enough for James to deliver the killing blow. Turning to his fallen companion, James tries to think of a way to stop the bleeding. Artemis opens her blue and croaks, "Freedom at last," before going limp. James stares sadly at his friend. Only then did he see her empty scabbard which fits the blade that he holds. He places her sword back into her hand. "Thank you, Artemis."

It's the New Hymn! Isn't It?

Yep! New hymn is here. I'm glad I get the oportunity to type all this stuff, and thank you sooooo much for looking at it. I'm sure that it isn't very good. Thank you for looking anyway. Today's verse is about enduring life and waiting on God for His timing and plan. I used to know this guy who was a great example of that. He passed away in May of this year. He was a Christian waiting for his Father to take him home. He died from cancer just a few days before the school year ended. He sang this song a few days before his death. "Be Still My Soul" is the hymn today. I could never be as close to God as he was, but I will try my best to follow his example. A kind and happy person to the end. Enjoy.

Be Still My Soul
1. Be still, my soul; the Lord is on thy side;
Bear patiently the cross of grief or pain;
Leave to thy God to order and provide;
In every change He faithful will remain.
Be still, my soul; thy best, thy heavenly, Friend
Through thorny ways leads to a joyful end.
2. Be still, my soul; thy God doth undertake
To guide the future as He has the past.
Thy hope, thy confidence, let nothing shake;
All now mysterious shall be bright at last.
Be still, my soul; the waves and winds still know
His voice who ruled them while He dwelt below.
3. Be still, my soul, though dearest friends depart
And all is darkened in the vale of tears;
Then shalt thou better know His love, His heart,
Who comes to soothe thy sorrows and thy fears.
Be still, my soul; thy Jesus can repay
From His own fulness all He takes away.
4. Be still, my soul; the hour is hastening on
When we shall be forever with the Lord,
When disappointment, grief, and fear are gone,
Sorrow forgot, love's purest joys restored.
Be still, my soul; when change and tears are past,
All safe and blessed we shall meet at last.

Have a great day!

How It Going? It's the New Verse!

Hey! Having a nice summer? Today's is Ecclesiates 3:1. "To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:" This is reminding the more impatient Christians that God has everything in order. You can't just go barging into the White House and demand the President to resign so you can put a Christian leader in his place. That won't work. God has a plan for everything. He knows how we're going to do our jobs as adults. He knows how we're going to grieve when we have that relative pass away. He knows how we're going to jumping up and down squealing when we win a competition or a really cool new phone. He knows everything that is going to happen, and it's going to happen as He planned. We can't change the sequence of events God has laid out for the future. We can't know what God is planning so...DON'T TRY! Sigh, please don't. It's embarrassing. God won't let a man take credit for "predicting" when He is going to come back. He'll come back at a time and date that He has planned. We have lives that we think have no order. Nothing is random. God made us do that or say this or think that because that's part of His plan. He planned for us to mourn, but if we stay faithful, He has a time for us to laugh. He has a time for children to be born and a time for others to die. He has times where you can gain and where you can lose. The verse after this one give an entire list of things that God has a certain time for. the verse afterwards asks, "What can you get from working at a time God doesn't want you to?" The answer is nothing. You can get nothing from disobeying God except punishment. He is your Savior, your Commander in the battle to save souls, your Prince that will rule the world, and your Best Friend. If your down, just pray. It helps. I broke down after a personal issue and after praying I felt better, but then Satan desided to strike me with doubt about God's goodness. I prayed again and God kept Satan away from me that night. I'm glad. I've felt Him keep my mouth shut. I really wanted to ask my mom a question, but God didn't want me to, so the only thing I could get out of my throat was, "Mmmm". I tried to say "Mom" but it wasn't God's will. If you submit, you'll feel God's presence. You'll feel His gentle prodding or sometimes a sudden realization of a flaw that needs to be fixed. I have more of the second choice than the first since I have a tendency to shove the prodding aside. You may be different, but trust me. More importantly, trust God. He'll help you in ways you never thought He would. There is a time for everything. There is a time for you to submit. Is it your time to give God your life?

Freedom at Last Chapter 6: The Journey's End

HI! THIS ISN'T THE LAST CHAPTER! You'll understand why I made it this title as you read. There are two more chapter after this one, so basically 9 chapters total. Anyway, to the recap! Recap: Last time, James and his army stormed Fortress Avendwell. Using boast from the villagers, Lord Arhowld lead the destraction group to the western side of the fort. As the archers, Artemis included, picked off the defenders along the top of the wall, Lord Arhowld went berserk, complimentary of his Sardan lineage. James, after leading his army to the real attack location, went with Artemis after the boss. After a battle against the cowardly boss, James and Artemis run to help with the remaining soldiers. To the journey!

Chapter 6: The Journey's End
James groans sleepily. The journey to Castle Torienaw is at it's last stretch. He glances around at him. Their numbers had reduced during the battle of Avendwell, but the soldiers at the fortress weren't all loyal to King Ravew. The numbers they lost had been replenished by the new recruits. Zero rode up next to him. "What do you think we should do Zero?" James asks turning to the tall NightHunter.
Zero is silent for a few second before speaking. "Castle Torienaw is built to withstand long siege. It has secret passage ways only known to those who built it, the royal family, and the NightHunters."
James raises his eyebrow, an action that he'd been doing since he was young. "Why the NightHunters?"
Zero mimicks him but where the questioning look is a sarcastic look replaces it. "We are a tight-lipped group. If you weren't the rightful king, you wouldn't even know what NightHunters do."
James chuckles lightly. "Sorry to offend you."
Zero nods. "You could learn a lot from us. Accuracy, surprise, adapting." James motions him to continue. "If you're strong, but can't it your enemy, then all that strength is useless. If you're up against an enemy that is stronger and greater in number than you, you need to catch them off guard and surprise them, otherwise you'd be dead. Adapting is something that Artemis and I do often on our heroic expeditions. I told you how Artemis sieged Avendwell. She actually used firebombs that were infused with color. As they blew up, the enemy was distracted, Artemis came charging down the hill with fourty rabid dessert Sardans. She found them captive on a ship off the coast. The vessel wasn't supposed to be raiding in our waters because of a treaty made by moi. On it was a group of Sardan soldiers. Artemis never found out why they were on the ship, but they were excited to siege a fortress. They always like a good fight."
"Like Lord Arhowld." James mumbles softly before chuckling.
Zero nods. "But twice as bad since these are pureblooded Sardans. Anyway, Artemis's men each had a tube like horn that distorted they cries. It create an eery effect. Of course, these men were from the nearby fishing village we visited. Long, bloddy story short, Artemis won."
James nods "Adaption, surprise, and accuracy in shooting. That mission had it all."
Zero shrugs. "It is one of the tests in NightHunter training now. Except with a few variations."
"Artemis must hate the attention."
"She hates it with a vengence. She says that all the bowing and titles make her antsy." Zero says sighing. "Speaking of Artemis..."
James looks up as the black haired NightHunter rides up to them. "James, Zero, Castle Torienaw is in sight."

Hey, Hey, Hey! It's the Hymn!

I can just hear Kenny saying, "Hay for horses. Seesh! Get it right Annie!" Oh well. we never really argue. Tease, that's a big yes, but argue, rarely. We're too much alike. Anyway, today's hymn goes with the idea of wantig God to clean our hearts so we can effectively witness to others. It's our responsibility. The hymn is "Create in Me a Clean Heart". Enjoy!

Create in Me a Clean Heart
1. I came to the Lord with my heart full of sin,
Empty of purpose and troubled within.
My fleash had the vict'ry,
My heart sought release;
Lord, wilt Thou chleanse me and grant me Thy peace?
     (Chorus)
     Create in me a clean heart, my Father;
     Renew a right spirit in me.
     Restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation;
     May Christ be seen in me.
2. I cried to the Savior, "Forive me, I pray."
He granted cleasing and sins fell away.
My bondage was ended,
My heart was set free;
Lord, nevermore may I wander from Thee.
     (Chorus)
     Create in me a clean heart, my Father;
     Renew a right spirit in me.
     Restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation;
     May Christ be seen in me.

Have an awesome day!

Hiyas Everybody! Daily Verse!

Hello! :) How's everyone doing? Are you having a good summer? Arlight, I'll stop interrogating you. Today's verse is Philippians 1:27. "Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;" This verse is saying that we should talk about things that is righteous. We should talk about our Savior or things that Christ would talk about if He were here. Even if there isn't an adult Christian around to watch you, God sees what you do. He knows what you think. This verse may say conversation, but your thoughts should be pleasing to God as well. If we don't care and talk and think badly, God could allow our parents to find out and that won't be good. on sin is hidden from God. He'll judge His children out of sadness because of their sins. He will judge the wicked anger. He knows all. Don't try to hide something from Him. We need to stand fast. We need to stay firm in our faith in God's word. We can't stumble or the wicked will mock us and make things more difficult to each lost souls. The wicked are all around, ready to pounce at the first stumbling Christian and pull him down. We must encourage other Christians to stay close to the word. The wicked might pull us down, but God won't abandon us. We're still His children. We just need to come back to Him. We must be one with other Christians. We can't argue and bicker with our brothers and sisters in Christ. All of us have a common goal, to spread God's word and to each lost souls. We all believe in the same Bible. We all know the story of Christ and we're all one in Him. Why do we argue? It's because we still ahve that sin nature that wants to take over. Don't let it. Settle the arguements, misundestandings, fights, etc. We must stand firm in one faith and one mind that knows that Christ is coming back and the world needs to know what Christ has done and what He will do. Will you take up your responsibility to spread the word? Will you try to think and say things that are pleasing to God? I hope so, Brother or Sister. I hope so.

Freedom at Last Chapter 5: Fortress Avendwell

Hi! Sorry about last chapter being all talking. I just needed to put in some advice in there. Anyway, I'm thinking about putting 8 chapters in this story, get or take one. Alright, I made this one a bit more exciting. Recap: James is traveling with the army getting closer to Avendwell. He gets advice from Lord Arhowld, his father's advisor and Lord of a nearby providence. Finding out that Zero is the nations hero, James gets advice from his former apprentice, Artemis. After telling the layout of the fort, Artemis gives him last advice before they get ready for battle.

Chapter 5: Fortress Avendwell
James tensely watches the fortress. He was leading the real attack party coming from the south. The distracting force was coming from the west on the boats borrowed from the vilagers. Zero sits next to him and places a hand on his shoulder. "The group will be fine. Artemis has seiged this place before. She even raised her own ragtag army. " James raises his eyebrow in shock. Zero chuckles. "What? Do you expect to be the apprentice of a hero and not be a hero yourself? My work rubs off." James smiled gratefully. Just then Zero's face grows serious. "They're here." He looks at James for his command.
James ponders the approaching boats, waiting till a black arrow streaks through the sky. "Go!"
Zero flickers and disappears. Soon, the men behind him shift into position. From his position on the rise, James could see Lord Arhowld leading the battle. Though the lord isn't originally from Torien, he is completely loyal to him. Being part Sardan, Lord arhowld has inherited the berserker-like madness during battle, but since he has lived here so long, he could control when and where he went berserk. As his men climbs onto the walls, the defender drop as another lord leads the small group of archers to aim a fire. Artemis scrambles up the walls quickly and is soon cutting down the defenders from the shadows. A roar split the air as Lord Arhowld slashes his sword with a vengence. James shouts the charge and the army swarms down to the fortress. Soon, the enemies are surrounded. James cuts another spearman across the stromach and reaches the large courtyard. Artemis is standing on a fallen cart sending an arrow every second, or at least around there. She motions with her head toward a door behind the defending army. James turns to Zero who is in a duel with a burly axer. "Artemis and I are going into the inner rooms. She saw the leader run in there."
Zero nods. "Go, Your Highness!" 
James shoulders and cuts his way towards the NightHunter. Artemis stands next to the door. She slides her sword next to the latch and pries it open. "Follow me." she says sprinting down the dark hallway without a sound.
They reach the room at the end jut as the leader runs out. James glares at him. "To abandon your men is cowardly. If you knew you didn't stand a chance, then you cold've surrendered and stopped this bloodshed. You're fate is the same as your men." James munges at him as he clumssily blocks. James strikes again with a series of lighting fast strikes leaving no time for a counter attack. The man throws a smoke bomb in James face. "Ack!" he exclaims. He glances around. Listening to the sound of his breathing and the movment of the smoke around him. He got a vague idea where the leader was. Slashing in the direction, his guess had been correct. The leader drops to the ground and long glash across the stormach.
Artemis turns to him. "I'm almost done with these guys. You go on ahead and see if there are any others. James tries to argue but Artemis cuts him off. "Just go! You need to live so you can take the throne."
James nods and sprints down the hallway. After close inspection, he is sure that no one else is there. he jogs back to Artemis who is now surrounded by corpses. "Let's see how the others are doing." Jame says. Artemis nods and they start off towards the clanging of blades.

Hymn! Oh Wonderful Hymn!

Hiyas! Today's hymn tells us to bring glory to God. We accepted the precious gift of salvation and we need to spread the word. This hymn reminds us to the great gift that we have been given. The hymn is "Glory to His Name." Enjoy!

Glory to His Name
1. Down at the cross where my Savior died,
Down where for cleansing from sin I cried,
There to my heart was the blood applied;
Glory to His Name!

Refrain:
Glory to His Name, glory to His Name:
There to my heart was the blood applied;
Glory to His Name!

2. I am so wondrously saved from sin,
Jesus so sweetly abides within;
There at the cross where He took me in;
Glory to His Name!
(Refrain)
3. Oh, precious fountain that saves from sin,
I am so glad I have entered in;
There Jesus saves me and keeps me clean;
Glory to His Name!
(Refrain)
4. Come to this fountain so rich and sweet,
Cast thy poor soul at the Savior’s feet;
Plunge in today, and be made complete;
Glory to His Name!
(Refrain)

Have a fantastical day! :)

Hey! Daily Verse is Here!

top of te morning to ya! Well, it's closer to lunch time where I live. Anyway, today's verse is Luke 12:40. "Be ye therefore ready also for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not." These words are said by Jesus so that's why they're red. He is telling us that we must be watching and waiting for He return to take us to be with Him. We must try or hardest to bring other people to our Savior before it's too late. He could come at anytime. He could come during an achievment test, a soccor game, a chess match, or lunch. Well, that's a reason to eat our desserts first, right? We might be caught up in the clouds before we had dessert! Heh, in heaven, we'll have the perfect body and can eat whatever we want. We should worry about all the people who are dieing the to hell. The president of my school has a saying that says, "People are dieing and going to hell today." It's a rminder of our responsibility to witness. if someone dies and goes to hell and we could've told him/her about Christ, it's our fault. We must study God's word diligently in order to use it against Satan and to be an effective witness. We may think that the Rapture is far away, but hte truth is that it is coming soon. We never will know when and I find it silly that some people try to predict the Rapture. God will come when He thinks it is the right time. we must be patient and diligent in our witness. We can't be afraid of what people think because they will regret not listening to us when they are suffering in hell. We will regret not telling them when we find out that they have died. We should have compassion. We should forgive the wrongs they have done to us and try our hardest to show they God's love. Will you be watching and waiting for Christ? Will you help make the church of Christ, the bride of Christ, bigger before our Savior returns?

Freedom at Last Chapter 4: A King's Character

I said I would get it done, and I did. Sorry it took so long. Teaching and typing are hard to do at the same time, especially if your brother's playing Wii boxing in the background. Sigh, anyway, to the recap! Recap: James just found out about his past and about Zero's identity. He has agrred to lead the forces to free his people from Ravew's reign. To the story!

Chapter 4: A King's Character
James glances at the nobles all around him. They all are grim and whispering battle plans to each other. He feels uncomfortable. A hand comes onto his shoulder. He looks up. Lord Arhowld smiles down at him. "Are you alright, Your Majesty?" James sighs.
"James is fine. Or Sir James. I'm not king yet."
Arhowld laughed. "Yes, sir. But you still haven't answered."
"I feel out of place."
"Don't. You are the leader of this rebellion, and you must stay firm. If you are nervous, your men won't trust your judgement in battle. You need your men's trust. You need to be firm, but kind as well. Our men can't hate you. You'll be just like Ravew if they do." James thinks the advice over. "Thanks, Lord Arhowld."
Arhowld laughs. "Anytime. You can learn from Zero too. He is the national hero after all." James eyes widen. "Artemis too. Her past is like yours." James nods.
"When will they be here?" James asks.
"Some time today." Arhowld says.
"Or now." a voice says as Artemis steps out of the trees followed by Zero. James nods their direction.
"Nice to meet you, Artemis."
"Of course Sir James. I am at your service." Artemis replies with a playful smirk.
James grins back. Zero and Arhowld ride off to talk of the bandit situation as Artemis fills James in what he is to expect at Fortress Avendwell. "The fortress has a pretty deep moat. Probably, a little above saddle deep. the walls are made of thick stone and high towers. The inside is a large courtyard. We need to overcome the walls and get into the courtyard. The walls are the main defence so once we're inside, it shouldn't be too difficult."
James nods. "Avendwell is next to a very large river. So, we could use a fleet of small ships to distract them, since there is a fishing village close by."
Artemis nods approvingly. "See, you'll be a great king."
James glances her way. "Would you give your opinion on the futre king?"
Artemis smiles slightly. "Well, you are a fine person. A greater strength of mind would be better. You need to be able to think of something on the spot, not freeze like you didn't in the village. A bit of determination would help. Because of your rough past, you have a tendency to be a bit pessimistic. You never go into a battle thinking that you would lose. Be determined to win. Be ready to give up anything for your country. The people hate ravew because he won't give. He takes."
James stares at her. "How do you do it? You've had a past worse than mine since you live in a country as a fugitive of a crazy king."
Artemis shrugs. "I just want the people to see their rights returned to them. They've been through too much. Ravew slaughters families, even children. I want no one to go through the same pain I have. I just can't let Ravew win."

Freedom At Last Chapter 3: Knight Knowledge

Hey! I'm going ot keep my promise to you all and type the 4th chpater after this. Just hang on. It takes a while to make these chapters and teach two 6-7 years olds. Don't ask. Recap: James has stayed in Thorstrom for a few days to get supplies and to try to question his captive. When about to leave, he is confront by a group known as the "Black Riders". The odds were against him when a hail of arrows came quickly from behind. As he stares at his enemies shocked, a man walked up to him and told him to leave. Now, to the story!

Chapter 3: Knight Knowledge
Before James could resist, the brown cloaked man pulls the reins towards the north gate. James finally regains his voice and spoke firmly to the man. "I have a prisoner that must be..."
The man cut him off. "My apprentice is taking him to Gorwen for you. She'll leave the "package" at Sir Richard's door." James grunts. He hates not knowing where he was going but his annoyance and anger subsides as he admits that the man saved his life. Te massive longbow and sword told James that this man shouldn't be agrivated. As they pass the gates, the cloaked man whistled. A small brown horse trotted to them. The man climbed into his saddle and motioned James to follow.
In the forest, James had trouble keeping the man in his sight. He could see the horse fine, but the man seemed to flicker and blur every so often. Rubbing his eyes, he stops trying to focus on trying to fine his guide. A low chuckle comes from his right causing his to turn. Sure enough, the man's blur outline is there. James sighs knowing that he's making a fool of himself. "We're here." the man says.
James looks up to see a small cabin tucked into a well hidden meadow like space. "Why here?" he asks.
"Because I live here." the man replies flatly. He and James dismount and place the horses into the small stable next to the house. Once they were inside, James sits down and crosses his arms.
"I don't mean to be rude, but why am I here?"
The man lowers his hood to reveal a stock of brown hair and striking green eyes. "I am Zero, NightHunter of this providence of Torien, and you are James Armont, sole survivor of the Castle Burning fifteen years ago and rightful king of this land."
James gapes at him. "What!" he shouts. Zero rolls his eyes.
"I'm sure that the Black Riders know about us now." he says glancing at James meaningfully. James looks down at the table pondering.
"I'm an orphan. I lived in a small village."
Zero places a gloved hand on his shoulder. "Let me tell you what really happened. don't interrupt till I'm done." James nods silently. "Fifteen years ago, the lord, Ravew, assaulted the castle with the help of Talkin, the real origin of the theif. The entire castle was burned and your parents were beheaded. I managed to get you and your aunt and uncle into Gorwen. I had not thought that Talkin would send bandits into Gorwen. I found you as your village burned and took you to Sir Richard, where you live now." James takes a shaky breath. "I can't believe it. My parents are from a country of assasins."
Zero frowns. "Talkin is the home of assisins and thieves. Torien is the home of marksmen, informers, and stradegy in battle."
"Sorry. I believe the marksmen part for sure." James mumbles.
Zero chuckles lightly at the statement. "Well, you must help us win our country back."
James shakes his head. "Oh, no. I'm just one person."
Zero now shakes his head. "We have all the providences agreeing with us. Almost everyone hates Ravew. Only the people near the capital like him. All you need to do is to be the leader of our group. I've watched you over the years, and I know you have what it takes to be king. You're going to lead the lords to victory for your people. Our name used to be honorable fifteen ears ago. Now, everyone looks at us with suspicion. Come, James. do it for your people. Your true people."
James' mind spins rapidly. He had no idea what to do. He keeps thinking about all the kind faces that he saw and knows that these people need him. He just couldn't let these people suffer. In Gorwen, they look down on him, but here they welcome him with open arms even though they weren't srue if he was the rightful ruler. He makes up his mind and stares at Zero. "Let's win this for my people."

Laaaaaaaaaaaaa! New Verse!

Hey! I decided to try opera today. Hahaha! Just kidding. A lot of people I know detest opera. My younger cousin and brother find it hilarious though I don't know why. Today's hymn is about being humble. The verse said that we shouldn't praise ourselves. Other than praising otherselves, we should be humble. Today's hymn is "Servant's Heart". Enjoy!

Servant's Heart
1. Make me a servant like You, dear Lord,
Living for others each day.
Humble and meek, helping the weak,
Loving in all that I say.
(Chorus)
Give me, Lord, a Servant's heart.
Here's my life; take every part.
Give me, Lord, a servant's heart.
Help me draw so close to You
That Your love comes shining through.
Give me, Lord, a servant's heart.
Give me, Lord, a Servant's heart.
2. Make me a witness like You, dear Lord,
Showing the love of the cross,
Sharing Your Word till all have heard,
Serving whatever the cost.
(Chorus)
Give me, Lord, a Servant's heart.
Here's my life; take every part.
Give me, Lord, a servant's heart.
Help me draw so close to You
That Your love comes shining through.
Give me, Lord, a servant's heart.
Give me, Lord, a Servant's heart.

Have an awesome day!

What's Up Peoples! Verse Time!

Hey! Anyway, how many of you like being praised? If I could see you all, I would say everyone is nodding or inwardly saying, "I like praise." Well, praise about yourself can't come from your mouth. Proverbs 27:2 says, "Let another man praise thee, and not thy own mouth; a stranger, and not thy own lips." This verse is reminding us that we're not the center of the world. Don't going around talking to yourself in a mirror saying, "Well hello handsome/beautiful. Who's awesome? I am! Whoo-whoo!" Reason 1, that's just plain strange to talk to a mirror. It's also vain, and it's prideful. Don't go around saying, "I'm awesome!" Since, your not. Yes, I may have offended you, but listen. Compare yourself to a God who knows all, sees all, is everywhere, can do anything, and still loves you even though you sinned. Are you still awesome? Can you match what God can do? Job was talking in Job 40 and God reproved him. Job couldn't do anything. Neither can we. We have mo right to go around praising ourselves. Others can praise us for what we do, and we can praise them. Don't try praising yourself. You'll just become a self-centered snob who makes everything much more complicated than it needs to be. Pride can do tons of damage your logical thinking abilities. Trust me. You may do things that people think is praise worthy and they praise you for that, but don't force praise out of a person. That's basically praising yourself using someone else's voice. Be humble. Humility comes before honor while pride comes before a downfall.

Hey! "Freedom At Last" Report!

Hey! I don't have enough time today to do more chapters. Sorry! I'll do them tormorrow, promise. Guests are coming to my house for a Father's Day celebration so yeah. I hope you're not mad. I'll do my best to catch up to where I should be in the story. Thanks for understanding! See ya!

Freedom At Last chapter 2: Attacked! Enter, NightHunters.

Hey! Sorry for the LONG wait. Recap: James was traveling to Torien, searching for a thief. He finds him in an abandoned fort. He captures the first man and chases down the other. As he was about to bring the last man back to the fort, an arrow kills him. A shadowy female said that she had been hired to do so. As he leaves to go back to the fort, the girl's eyes stare for a while and then dissappear.

Chapter 2: Attacked! Enter, NightHunters
James rides at an easy lope as he went to the fort. A smack from him could give a man a concussion, though James didn't hit that hard this time. As he nears the fort, he has the feeling that he was being watched. He turns slowing in his saddle. Midnight, sensing his master's uneasiness, shifts to the left and neighs. After a while, James continues on, though much more cautious.
Two pairs of eyes follow the young man's movements. "What do you think?" the blue eyed person asked.
The green eyed person crept along the forest floor. "That's him alright. The resemblance is remarkable." As James walks out of the fort with the thief over his shoulder, the shorter person smirked.
"Ravew is going down."
James grunts as he rode into town. He hopes an inn would be open at ten o'clock at night. As he approaches an inn, the thief stirs. After a nice thonk on the head from James, the man was out cold yet again. A sleepy looking man opens the door. "We're closed so..." He didn't finish as he stares stunned at James.
James sighs. "I know it's late. I know I bear the seal of Gorwen, but please, I would be most grateful for a room. Tonight and two days afterwards. That's all I need."
The man is smiling like a two year old with a new toy. "Of couse! Your..." He trailes off as he looks over James shoulder. James turns but sees no one. "I mean course sir."
The next day he tries questioning the thief, but it proves to be useless. He walks awkwardly through the marketplace looking for supplies. The people whisper excitedly. The children ran around his legs giggling. Shopkeepers shout to him to come and look through their stores. "It's like I'm royalty." James murmurs.
"So true, young James." a shadowy man chuckles before disappearing into the alleys.
James' third day in the town Thorstrom isn't nearly as peaceful as he'd hope. He is about to leave in the morning after breakfast with the theif tied onto a pack horse he had bought when a shout came from the northern end of town. "It's the Black Riders!" a woman screamed grabbing her kids and running to her home. As she passes James, she grabs his shoulders. "Help us please!" James nodded and started to run off. Gorwen and Torien have never been friends. Besides, the townspeople are kind to him. Riding into the northern marketplace, he spies ten riders wearing black and red armor. They quickly see him on Midnight.
"Capture that knight!" the leader hollars. James spurs Midnight forward and his sword into the rushing rider's shied and quickly strikes again at the exposed ribcage before the man could react. As the rider falls from the saddle, his horse went running into the group of ten riders. James takes advantage of the confusion to jab an exposed side of a nearby rider. The man screams in pain and is toppled from his saddle. The third rider smashes his sword into James' shield with tremendous force that jars his shied arm. Groaning, he quickly cuts across the riders stomach as the sword is stuck in his shield of a second. James turns Midnight back a bit. With a damaged shied, he has doubts that he can take the rest of the seven men. A hiss sounds right next to his ear striking the man in front of him in the neck. Immediatly, he reconizes the black arrow with white feathers. He turns only to see six more arrows sent flying. Each one finding their mark. Too stunned for words, he stares at the seven bodies of men that used to be living ten seconds ago.
"Your Highness," a voice says to his right. James nearly jumps out of his saddle as a man walks up to him.
"Come with me. We must get you away."

What's This? It's the Hymn of Course!

Today's hymn goes with the idea of giving up what you want in this world, and holding God's word close to your heart. We shouldn't let earthly things distract us. We should give everything to God. "I Surrender All" is today's hymn. Enjoy!

I Surrender All

All to Jesus, I surrender;
All to Him I freely give;
I will ever love and trust Him,
In His presence daily live.

Refrain

I surrender all, I surrender all,
All to Thee, my blessèd Savior,
I surrender all.

All to Jesus I surrender;
Humbly at His feet I bow,
Worldly pleasures all forsaken;
Take me, Jesus, take me now.

Refrain

All to Jesus, I surrender;
Make me, Savior, wholly Thine;
Let me feel the Holy Spirit,
Truly know that Thou art mine.

Refrain

All to Jesus, I surrender;
Lord, I give myself to Thee;
Fill me with Thy love and power;
Let Thy blessing fall on me.

Refrain

All to Jesus I surrender;
Now I feel the sacred flame.
O the joy of full salvation!
Glory, glory, to His Name!

Refrain

Have a nice day!

Hey! It's the Verse!

Hiyas! I have to do this quick. I don't have much time right now, but I will a hour later. Today's verse is Deuteronomy 8:6. "And these words, which I command Thee this day, shall be in thine heart." this verse is saying that whatever God tells us through His word, through other Christians, or even through the unsaved we must keep in our hearts. He commands us to do something and we must obey. We must obey sweetly, completely, and immediately. He is our Savior and God. He deserves our obedience and respect. We need to trust Him and follow Him wherever He chooses to send us. Just because God doesn't command us through words doesn't mean we don't follow Him. If the Holy Spirit is trying to tell you something, don't shrug it off, block it out, or ignore it. Be wise in what you do and listen. Listen to the Holy Spirit's words, ponder them, do them, and keep them in your mind. Don't let the things of this world make you become a fool. Don't get bored of God's word. When you go to church, sit there and listen with an open heart and a mind ready to learn what Gid has to say. You are fortunate that you can go to church. Some Christians come from families that are unsaved so they can't worship as freely as you. Be thankful for all the blessings Gid has given. Follow Him because He knows what is best. Keep His words in your heart because you know that they are always true. Measure the things you do with the Bible to see if you're sinning or not. Don't measure the Bible with the world to see if the BIble is right in it's doctrines. Man can make mistakes. God can't. Remember that. Trust His word and keep it close so temptations are easier to avoid.

Freedom At Last New Flash!

Hey! I can't post a new chapter today since I'm at Grandma's house. So, I'll try to post two tomorrow if I can. Thank for understanding! Do you like the first chapter?

Salutations! It's the New Verse!

Salutations means greetings to those who don't know. Anyway, this verse is about the idea of going to battle for God. It is a well known hymn. "Onward, Christians Soldiers" is today's hymn and I want to encourage you to go onwards today for Christ.

Onward Christian Soldiers
1. Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus going on before.
Christ, the royal Master, leads against the foe;
Forward into battle see His banners go!
Refrain
Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus going on before.
2. At the sign of triumph Satan’s host doth flee;
On then, Christian soldiers, on to victory!
Hell’s foundations quiver at the shout of praise;
Brothers lift your voices, loud your anthems raise.
Refrain
3. Like a mighty army moves the church of God;
Brothers, we are treading where the saints have trod.
We are not divided, all one body we,
One in hope and doctrine, one in charity.
Refrain
4. What the saints established that I hold for true.
What the saints believèd, that I believe too.
Long as earth endureth, men the faith will hold,
Kingdoms, nations, empires, in destruction rolled.
Refrain
5. Crowns and thrones may perish, kingdoms rise and wane,
But the church of Jesus constant will remain.
Gates of hell can never gainst that church prevail;
We have Christ’s own promise, and that cannot fail.
Refrain
6. Onward then, ye people, join our happy throng,
Blend with ours your voices in the triumph song.
Glory, laud and honor unto Christ the King,
This through countless ages men and angels sing.
Refrain

I didn't know that there were that many verses! Have an swesome day! Onwards, Christians! For our Savior, for our God!

HI! It's Time for Another Verse!

Hey! I'm not going to stop typing that even though Kenny will tease me, or should I say "correct" me. Anway, today's verse is Ephesians 6:12. "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." This verse is part of the passage about the armor of God which I'll be posting on another page soon. The verse is saying that this isn't a physical battle that Christians are fighting. You don't see me running another brandishing a sword above my head yelling, "To victory!" No, this is a spiritual battle to save souls from the pits of hell. We aren't fighting against actual people. We only disobey the law when it goes against God's law. We fight the powers of the world. Idolatry, sorcery, imorality, all of those things that are sinful, but are applauded when done. Sin has most of the world's people in it's grasp. We must fight against the rulers who do make laws that go against God, who do persecute His people, who do applaud sin. We fight only to defend our faith, not for revenge or anything else. We are also fighting against the sorcery and false religions all around the world. Islam, Juddism, Catholisism, Buddihism, Confusunism, demonism, paganism, the list goes on. I'll just clear this up. Confusunism, if I spelled it right, is different from Buddihism, if I spelled that right as well. Forgive the incorrect spellings. Spelling isn't my strong suit. That's coming from the mouth of the cousin of a speller. Juddism and Christianity don't believe in the same Messiah or Christ. Jews are still looking for a Messiah that has already come. If they study the Torah, or the Old Testiment, and find all the prophecies about the Messiah, then compared it to Jesus' life, they'll find that He fulfilled all the prophecies. And I'm pretty sure that there are more than one hundred of them! Catholisism thinks that Jesus' sacrifice isn't enough, but it was. How can it be possible for Jesus' PERFECT sacrifice not be enough? He is the Son of God! We don't have to do all kinds of motions and rituals and stuff. We don't have to conquer the world for our God like Muslims. God already controls the world. So, why destroy what your God already comtrols? Christianity is different because we believe salvation through faith. We are one of the three religions that have only one god. We must be lights of this world and fight against the growing opposition. Be brave and be not ashamed of your faith and of your Savior.

It's the New Story! After a Long Time!

Finally! I'm starting the new story! If you click on the search engine in the upper right hand corner of hte blog and type in "medival" you can find the snippet from the story I posted. sorry for the long wait. I had to come up with a story plot that wasn't too long or too short. Like last time, it won't, hopefully, go past 8-9 chapters and I'll put character pics at the end. I'll make a page where I'll put all the older characters from older stories on there just in chase some are reading the older ones. Alright, onward to chapter one of "Freedom At Last"!

Chapter 1: On Torien Ground
  James gallops down the dirt path. He was told to intercept a meeting of the Taliever bandits in Thorstrom, a town on the border of Torien and Gowen. As the youngest knight of Gowen, he had to deal with the little things and leave the larger fights to the adults. He grunts in disdain. He has unseated dozens of senior knights from thier saddles, but he can't help defend the northern fortress from attack. He gallops onward dust flying behind his battlehorse's hooves. He has to get there before the bandits did and get ready to capture them. There should be only two of them so it isn't supposed to be difficult. He turns a bend in the path that led to Torien. His grip tightens slightly as he rode across the border. "Torien, home of the spies and assasins." he grumbled. He knew full well of the rumons floating around in the marketplaces of Gowen. He just didn't know if they were true.
After he arrived at the abandoned ruins of a fortress, it was almost evening. he eats a quick, cold meal and polishes his sword until he heard footsteps. Gripping his sword, he waits from the men to get closer. He motions for his battlehorse to step back. Just as he thought, the two thieves stiffen and one creeps cautiously his way. Sword raised, James prepares to ram the hilt into the man's head, and when as shaggy head of hair pops out of the darkness, he does just that. Grabbing the man before he crumples to the ground, James ties his hands and feet together. Placing him next to a broken gray wall, James steps out of the darkness on top of his battle horse. He sees a fleeing figure going down the crest of a hill.
The thief had abandoned all caution as he tore down the hill. Unlike what the Gowen people believe, the bandits are from Talkin, a country south of Torien. He too has heard of the deadly spies and assasins that originate here and he wants out. Surely, his partner has been caught by one of them. As he runs, he hears hoofbeats. Realization strikes him, and it isn't Torien spies, it's a Gowen knight. "That's even worse." he grumbles jumping into the trees.
James steadily gains onto the running figure. Riding at full gallop, he forces his way through the trees. The thief smaller and nimbler than he begins to get away. Swerving onto open road, James stares at the treeline. He could see the thief pretty easily. Grabbing a short, blunt, spearlike rod, he takes careful aim. An opening in the trees is coming up fast and he has to throw it at that very moment. "Three...Two...One."
 Crash! James Armont glares down at the cowering figure below him. His battlehorse, Midnight, shifts its position slightly. "Please, mercy!" the bandit begs shaking with fear. His request is met by the boy's hard glare.
James snorts. "Not so brave without your big ax and burly friends huh?" His glare softens...slightly. "Get up."
The man scrambles to his feet. "Are you letting me go?" he asks hopefully.
James grunts dismissivly. "Of course not. You're a wanted criminal in all forty fiefs of Gorwen. I'm taking you to King Adian for trial."
The man's face pales. "No! I will die if I go there!"
James sighs exasperated. "You should've thought of that when you joined those bandits. Your friends had no mercy when they slaughtered my village. You are lucky that my code of honor allows all my enemies a chance to live. I could've gutted you."
The man whimpers and slumps to the ground defeated. James feels a twang of pity for the man, but the thought of his 5 year old sister's murder stops it.
"Get up." he says gruffly. The man obeys. At that very moment, an arrow pierces the bandit's throat silencing him. James whirls around. A hooded figure stands at the edge of the tree line. "What is your business here? Why have you killed..."
He is cut off quickly. "That man is a wanted crinimal. I've been hired to kill him. Besides, his buddies killed every living family member I had and burned my home to the ground when I was seven." James is stunned. Not only was the figure someone who knew his pain, the figure sounded like a girl. A girl! Before he could question the fact, the archer disappears into the trees.
He ponders whether or not to go after her. Glancing at the black shafted arrow, he desides that it wasn't the wisest idea.
As James gently urges Midnight down the path, two blue eyes follow him. "The son of Arthur is ready. The usurper's reign is coming to an end."
If someone had watched, he would see the eyes shift and disappear.

Hey Hey Hey! It's the New Hymn!

If my cousin, Kenny was reading this, he would say, "Hay is for horses, you silly goose." Ugh, Kenny if you're out there reading, I know hay's for horses! Sorry for hte outburst. It gets really annoying after a while. I have problems with my temper. I wouldn't hurt someone physically. I would just yell nad insult them. That's one of the problems I'm trying to break. I'm going to follow Jesus' example and be kind and quiet. This hymn goes with the of following Christian examples. Have you ever heard of a famous Christian that didn't give thier all to God? Nope. God allowed His faith servants to be known. I don't know anyone who didn't serve God with their whole heart, and still get famous. The righteous will be brought up while the wicked is cut down. Several verses in Proverbs tell us that. Today's hymn is "Give of Your Best to the Master." Fitting title right?

Give Of Your Best to the Master
Give of your best to the Master, give of the strength of your youth.
Throw your soul's fresh glowing ardor, into the battle for truth.
Jesus has set the example, dauntless was He, young and brave;
Give Him your loyal devotion, give Him the best that you have.
Refrain
Give of your best to the Master;
Give of the strength of your youth.
Clad in Salvation's full armor;
Join in the battle for truth.
Give of your best to the Master, give Him first place in your heart.
Give Him first place in your service, consecrate every part.
Give, and to you will be given, God His beloved Son gave.
Gratefully seeking to serve Him, give Him the best that you have.
Refrain
Give of your best to the Master;
Give of the strength of your youth.
Clad in Salvation's full armor;
Join in the battle for truth.
Give of your best to the Master, naught else is worthy His Love.
He gave Himself for your ransom, gave up His Glory above.
Laid down His life without murmur you from sin's ruin to save.
Give Him your heart's adoration, give Him the best that you have.
Refrain
Give of your best to the Master;
Give of the strength of your youth.
Clad in Salvation's full armor;
Join in the battle for truth.

Have an awesome day!

Hey! It's the Brand New Verse!

hey! What's up people! How are yo liking my blog? I'm willing to adapt to your ideas as long as your reasonable and it goes with God's word. Also, if you're struggling with something, family, thoughts, health, things like that and you can't find a verse or you have a verse but can't fingure it out, you can ask me to look it up. I'll explain it as much as I can. I want to help Christians in their walk down the narrow way towards Christ and spread the gospel. I'm here to help. I've got troubles, lots of them, of my own, but I'm willing ot help you guys first. Don't be afriad to ask.
Anyway, today's verse is Philippians 3:17. "Brethren, be followers of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an example." This verse is said by the apostal Paul. He was a great preacher during the Roman empire, and he is a great example for Christians to follow. That is exactly what this verse is saying. Paul, who used to be called Saul, told the Christians to follow his example. He felt like he was doing what God wanted him to do and wanted others to do the same. he wanted the gospel of Christ's death and resurrection to be spread around the world so the lost people could come to Christ. Another verse in Proverbs says that the sinners ad wicked are great in the world. They outnumber Christians, but we have the light of the gospel so there is nothing to fear. Paul knew that when he took his three missionary journeys and was later captured and beheaded. He trusted God and wanted others to trust Him as well. He wanted Christians to follow his example because God allowed him to be sure that his testimony was the right one. Are you that confident, Christian? Can you lead younger Christians down the narrow path well? Is your testimony so much like Christ that even unsaved will come to see what is so different about you? I know that those are VERY hard to do. I'm still working on it myself. You're not alone. Many Christians all around the world are trying to follow the example of the Christians that went before them. Follow the example of the wise. Don't follow example of the foolish and evil. Our "mark" as Paul says is our attitude difference. We should show the love of Christ through us. That loving, forgiving, attitude should make it clear to people that we are children of God. I know it will be hard, but God will help us through. Just trust Him and follow the examples He has given us to follow. Don't be ashamed of your Savior. You actions should show what you believe.

New Story!

Alright! I think I've waited long enough. Tomorrow I'll be writing the medival history adventure. I am going to say this before hand. There won't be magic in this. That choice was the fantasy one. I'm doing about knights and battles and stuff. It's going to be difficult to place God into the story, but I will put the Ten Commandments as part of the character's moral code. Chivalry, you know, that kind of stuff. I'll try my best to write interesting stories, but no one has been commenting so I don't know whether or nit you guys and girls like it! I don't read minds. Your comments will help me make better stories in the future. Thanks!

Hey! The New Hymn Has Arrived!

Hey! The hymn for today is "I Am Resolved". Can you say that you are resolved to put away all the delights of the world to follow God. Can you say that God has your life? The verse talked about how Christians can get punished too. Will you accepted the punishments and can still say that you will hasten to Him?

I Am Resolved
I am resolved no longer to linger,
Charmed by the world’s delight,
Things that are higher, things that are nobler,
These have allured my sight.
Refrain
I will hasten to Him, hasten so glad and free;
Jesus, greatest, highest, I will come to Thee.
I will hasten, hasten to Him, hasten so glad and free;
Jesus, Jesus, greatest, highest, I will come to Thee.
I am resolved to go to the Savior,
Leaving my sin and strife;
He is the true One, He is the just One,
He hath the words of life.
Refrain
I am resolved to follow the Savior,
Faithful and true each day;
Heed what He sayeth, do what He willeth,
He is the living Way.
Refrain
I am resolved to enter the kingdom
Leaving the paths of sin;
Friends may oppose me, foes may beset me,
Still will I enter in.
Refrain
I am resolved, and who will go with me?
Come, friends, without delay,
Taught by the Bible, led by the Spirit,
We’ll walk the heav’nly way.

Have a wonderful day!
