Barista: Welcome to Spiritual Starbucks, may I take your order?
Customer 1: Yes, I'd like a triple Buddha, Mocha Mohammed Latte, with an extra shot of religion.
Barista: Sure, would you like a Pious Pastry with that?
Customer 1: No, I just ate. Just the drink.
Barista: Great, that will be your eternal destiny.
Customer 1: Is that all?
Barista: Yeah, we're running a special. And you get your destiny extra hot... hot as Hell actually. Customer 1: Awesome. (Moves over to wait)
Barista: Welcome to Spiritual Starbucks. How may I help you?
Customer 2:Yes, um, this is my first time here... so I don't quite know what to order. Barista:Well, we're glad to have you sir. Would you like a cold drink, like a Frappacino, or something hot like a latte?
Customer 2: I guess something cold.
Barista: Great, a Frappacino. What kind of Frap would you like?
Customer 2:What kind do you have?
Barista: Well, we have your Mohammed, Mocha, Wildberry Wiccan--
Barista 2: Caramel Cult Frappacino, Quasi Jesus Frap--
Customer 2:Why only a Quasi Jesus?
Barista: Nobody wants him full strength anymore, sir.
Customer 2: Umm, well, how about a Morman Frappacino? I've heard those are good.
Barista: Yeah, sure we have that--but it only comes in decaf.
Customer 2:Umm.... Ok, I'll have a Wildberry Wiccan, with a shot of Caramel Cult.
Barista: Is that all?
Customer 2: Yes. Barista: Ok, let's just ring this up here... That will be your soul.
Customer 2: Great! Didn't have a need for it anyway! (Moves aside to wait)
Customer 3: Yes, I'd like to order a Venti Full Strength Jesus, please.
Barista: Sorry sir, but we don't serve those here. We have a Quasi Jesus, with a shot of something else to spice it up.
Customer 3: No I just want a straight Jesus please... Extra hot.
Barista 2: Sir, do you know why we don't serve Venti Full Strength Jesus here?
Customer 3: No, why?
Barista: Because those who ordered it never wanted anything else. Ever. As a matter of fact, once they ordered it, they never were thirsty again. Which means they didn't order again. Which means business went down. As a matter of fact, they started pestering the other customers to get it. Those who liked the Full Strength Jesus Lattes think it is the way, the truth, the life, and the drink that will quench their thirst for all time.
Customer 3: Well, that's how I want him. Straight and full strength.
Barista: Well, then you came to the wrong place! Next!

The Meaning of the Candy Cane

Many years ago a
candy maker

wanted to make a

candy that would

symbolize the true meaning of
Christmas - Jesus.

The hard candy
was shaped like a
"J" to represent that
Jesus is our rock of
all ages. The candy
was made of white
to stand for the
pureness of Jesus.
The red represents
the blood that Jesus shed to save
us from our sins.


So the next time
you see a candy
cane take a minute
to remember the
real meaning of
Christmas.

I Love You

Dear loved ones,

As you well know, we are getting closer to my birthday. Every year there is a celebration in my honor and I think that this year the celebration will be repeated. During this time there are many people shopping for gifts, there are many radio announcements, TV commercials, and in every part of the world everyone is talking that my birthday is getting closer and closer.
It is really very nice to know, that at least once a year, some people think of me. As you know, the celebration of my birthday began many years ago. At first people seemed to understand and be thankful of all that I did for them, but in these times, no one seems to know the reason for the celebration. Family and friends get together and have a lot of fun, but they don't know the meaning of the celebration.
I remember that last year there was a great feast in my honor. The dinner table was full of delicious foods, pastries, fruits, assorted nuts and chocolates. The decorations were exquisite and there were many, many beautifully wrapped gifts. But, do you want to know something? I wasn't invited. I was the guest of honor and they didn't remember to send me an invitation. The party was for me, but when that great day came, I was left outside, they closed the door in my face .... and I wanted to be with them and share their table.
In truth, that didn't surprise me because in the last few years all close their doors to me. Since I wasn't invited, I decided to enter the party without making any noise. I went in and stood in a corner. They were all drinking; there were some who were drunk and telling jokes and laughing at everything. They were having a grand time. To top it all, this big fat man all dressed in red wearing a long white beard entered the room yelling Ho-Ho-Ho! He seemed drunk. He sat on the sofa and all the children ran to him, saying: "Santa Claus, Santa Claus" .. as if the party were in his honor!
At 12 Midnight all the people began to hug each other; I extended my arms waiting for someone to hug me and ... do you know ... no one hugged me. Suddenly they all began to share gifts. They opened them one by one with great expectation. When all had been opened, I looked to see if, maybe, there was one for me. What would you feel if on your birthday everybody shared gifts and you did not get one? I then understood that I was unwanted at that party and quietly left.
Every year it gets worse. People only remember to eat and drink, the gifts, the parties and nobody remembers me. I would like this Christmas that you allow me to enter into your life. I would like that you recognize the fact that over two thousand years ago I came to this world to give my life for you, on the cross, to save you. Today, I only want that you believe this with all your heart.
I want to share something with you. As many didn't invite me to their party, I will have my own celebration, a grandiose party that no one has ever imagined, a spectacular party.
I'm still making the final arrangements. Today I am sending out many invitations and there is an invitation for you. I want to know if you wish to attend and I will make a reservation for you and write your name with golden letters in my great guest book. Only those on the guest list will be invited to the party. Those who don't answer the invite,will be left outside. Be prepared because when all is ready you will be part of my great party.
See you soon,
I Love you!,
Jesus

I Believe....

Birth Certificate shows that we were born.
A Death Certificate shows that we died.
Our life represents what we do between those two dashes of time on our headstones!
Have a seat . . . Relax . . . And read this slowly.

I Believe...
That just because two people argue,
doesn't mean they don't love each other. And just because they don't argue, doesn't mean they do love each other.

I Believe...
That we don't have to change friends if we understand that friends change.


I Believe...
That no matter how good a friend is, they're going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that.


I Believe...
That true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance.
Same goes for true love.


I Believe...
That you can do something in an instant that will give you heartache for life.



I Believe...
That it's taking me a long time to become the person I want to be.



I Believe...
That you should always leave loved ones with loving words.
It may be the last time you see them.


I Believe...
That you can keep going long after you think you can't.


I Believe...
That we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel.


I Believe...
That either you control your attitude or it controls you.


I Believe...
That heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences.


I Believe...
That money is a lousy way of keeping score

A little something to put things in perspective...

After a forest fire in Yellowstone National Park , forest rangers began their trek up a mountain to assess the inferno's damage.One ranger found a bird literally petrified in ashes, perched statuesquely on the ground at the base of a tree. Somewhat sickened by the eerie sight, he knocked over the bird with a stick. When he gently struck it, three tiny chicks scurried from under their dead mother's wings. The loving mother, keenly aware of impending disaster, had carried her offspring to the base of the tree and had gathered them under her wings, instinctively knowing that the toxic smoke would rise.She could have flown to safety but had refused to abandon her babies. Then the blaze had arrived and the heat had scorched her small body, the mother had remained steadfast ... because she had been willing to die, so those under the cover of her wings would live.'He will cover you with His feathers,And under His wings you will find refuge.'(Psalm 91:4)

My friend Harlie

Ok so any1 who goes 2 youth group, or how i have talked 2 knows that i have a fried, Harlie. She is 1 of my best friends, that God has let me have, and even though we have many differences, we do get along. I'm basically writing this cus she is supoose 2 come 2Y.G. practice and the whole Y.G. w/me. I'm so excited. But usually as every1 knows is that I've invited her 2 so many youth groups, about 8X, but she says yes and then says no. And im hoping and praying that this time she will be able 2 come. So im asking, any1 who reads this, plz pray 4 Harlie. I'm not doing this 4 me, saying that i brought a friend 2 Y.G., but cus she really needs God. More ways then 1 and she hasn't realized it. B/cus Thursday, Harlie had a melt down cus of things w/school, her family, gossip, and her exboyfriend,(which i didnt like from the beginning) that just wasnt treating her like he should of. but I'm just praying that she will come, and c how God works in the lives of every1, and show her that Harlie needs Our Father, and turn away from always having 2 have a material or something by her 2 keep her happy.

Don't Procrastinate

Ok so usually it doesn't takeme that long 2 do something, but now it does, and I dont know y. But basically cus I procrastinated. and i know that sounds bad, but usually i do better when i dont do something right away, but its not working right now. So I'm hoping now that I am ideas will start flowing through my head. But anyways Don't Procrastinate!!!!!
Thats an order, it doesnt get u anywhere except helping yourself 2 ask more question, then normally.

Daddy Update

ok, so as every1 knows, my dad recently has a seasonal job at the Family Christian Book Store. and i was really worried bout wat would happen 4 after that seasonal job, wat we do then? and im so happy and excited 2 announce that my daddy, not only has a seasonal job, but a real full JOB!!!!!!, I was really excited, u guys should have seen me yesturday, Nov 12, just 2 put that out there. I was ecstatic, u all should of seen me it was so funny. But anyways he has this job now at CRT, or something like that, I think my daddy said that Mr. Charleston works there (the ones from Florida, and Joshua's dad). So I'm happy that God, helped us out, cus i was really stressing, and if im stressed just image how my parents r. So this also plays out good, cus this really means that this year could probably b my moms last year working 4 the plain dealer. (I dont know if this is true or not, but i'm hoping, just dont qoute me on it. Ya so, PRASIE GOD!!!!!

Kirtland vs. Grandvalley

hey every1, if u were there at the game yesturday, wasn't it great except 4 the rain. I loved it even though i didnt get 2 c if every was there or not, if u were then thankz. But just 2 say, every1 was great both bands. I do think that Grandvalley's flags did better than ours. and im not just saying that b/c meli goes there either. Cus my school got like a lot of wind and stuff and was really hard 2 flag. I think i got like the 1st song good and down and everything, but thats it. But the dance we did 2, "What i Like About You," was seriosly funny, I almost slipped like 3 times, thank goodness i didnt though. But i left like right after 1/2 time, so i dont know if we won or not. But the score before i left was Kirtland-56, Grandvalley-0. So, who won?

Arthopads (Bug) Project

Ok so, 4 school i'm doing this Arthopod collection or project and its due 2morow, Oct. 21. And well I'm not doing at last min. like my other projects sometimes, but i actuall cuaght bugs. And well, more like my family did, i collected like 3/10 that im supposed 2. But anyways they look really cool, but really, really, disgusting. But another thing i got out of this was family. and i know this sounds weird, but I told my dad i had this arthopod project, or bug project, and every1 has been helping me. Even though my dad caught me these 2 spiders, that I cant use its help. And another thing is that my mom helped me and she didnt even notice. Isnt that funny. At like 6:50 almost 7 am , when i was getting ready 4 school my mom couldnt get this moth out of the office, and i caught it and now its DEAD. HAH, HAH, HAH!!!!!!! But anyways its kinda funny wat situations that u go through, actually help u out in the end, and give u a lesson 2. And if u havent figured out my lesson is, is that we r loved. My family really loves me and instead of helping me out and collecting the bugs they could of just said, "Good Luck." So, I'm almost done with mt "Arthoppd Collection", only 2 more 2g.

Light of the Word

This is from my NLT Bible

Living in the Light

Ephesians 5: 8. For once you were full of darkness, but now you have light from the Lord. So live as people of light! 9. For this light within you produces only what is good and right and true.

Living by the Spirit's Power

Ephesians 5: 15. So be careful how you live. Don't live like fools, but like those who are wise.

16. Make the most of every opportunity in these evil days.

17. Don't act thoughtlessly, but understand what the Lord wants you to do.

Ephesians 5: 8-9; 15-17, is what really connected w/ me during 2days sermon. That each and every1 of us, is the light of the world. This reminded me of last year at A.T. F. (Aquire The Fire). I think it was our last day at A.T.F, when we all had like a piece of paper or something and we had foil put on top and the people shut off the normal lights and put on these gold and silver ones. And every1 who was there had 1 and was like holding it up, and u just say every1, who was the light of the world. And even though people say, "To take a pic. cus it lasts longer", I did and they didn't come out. I have the pic. in my head. and these passages in Ephesians 5, just remind me. i am the light of the world, and god has made me 4 a reason, so in conclusion that means i have a purpose. I have a reason, and I am the light of the world. An example, a friend, a helper, and a friend to those who need 1. So those who read this remember u r so very precise and dear to God, for He loves u and he sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross, 4 yours and my sins.

Eph. 5: 20. And give thanks for everything to God the Father, in the name of your Lord Jesus Christ.

Daddy's Lil Princess

Ok so I was thinking, "What can i write about and find a pic. that gos great with it?"So I found 1. Well anyways the background of this story is that I've always been my Daddy's Lil Princess.

(Except i have brown hair,not blonde.) And i love this pic. ,bc i love sitting down drawing, reading, or writing wat ev's on my mind at the time, and so yea.
