On Sunday, 25 January 2009, I am getting baptized!

I believe that Jesus lived as a perfect person.Â He never sinned!Â Â He died on the cross and rose again. Â He is the son of God!

There is only one way to heaven.Â It is believing that Jesus was a perfect person and died and rose for your sins.Â You have to confess that you disobey God and ask Jesus into your heart.Â Jesus will come into your heart and help you obey!

I am going to be baptized to show that I believe that.

It is at First Baptist Church on CR 17 in Bristol.Â The service starts at 8:30, and my baptism is close to the start.Â I hope you can come!

Romans 3:23 says “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God”.Â Romans 6:23 adds “for the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

2008 Pinewood Derby

This Saturday (17 January 2009), I am doing my Pinewood Derby Race.Â You are invited!Â The racing starts at noon.Â It’s at Trinity United Methodist Church.

Hope to see you there!

I have the same design when you are looking at the side of the car.Â When you look at the top, it is totally changed.Â I still have to sand it, paint it, put the wheels on and basically finish it!Â I just designed it and cut it out so far.

Song to Annoy your Parents III

We were listening to the radio on the way to scouts and Audrey loves this song!Â So do I!

The Chimney Song

By Bob Rivers

There’s something stuck up in the chimney
and I don’t know what it is
but it’s been there all night long.
well, I waited up for Santa all Christmas night
but he never came and it don’t seem right.
and there’s something in the chimney
and it doesn’t make a sound,
but I wish you merry Christmas.

There’s something stuck up in the chimney
and I don’t know what it is,
but it’s been there all week long.
Well the dog keeps barking up the chimney flue
and we don’t know what we’re gonna do.
cos there’s something in the chimney
and it doesn’t move around
and it’s been a week since christmas.

There’s something stuck up in the chimney
and I don’t know what it is
but it’s been there all month long.
Well, it’s jammed up tight above the fireplace
now the house smells funny, such a big disgrace.
that there’s something in the chimney
and it doesn’t talk at all
and it’s been there since last Christmas.

There’s something stuck up in the chimney
and I don’t know what it is
but it’s been there all year long.
I’ll be waiting up for Santa like I did last year
but my brother says, he’s already here…
and he’s stuck up in the chimney
and he doesn’t say a word
and he’ll be there every Christmas.
and we’ll have him every Christmas!

Song to Annoy your Parents II

Daddy was listening to music and found this song.Â I like it and I think it’s better than Grandma got Ran over By a Reindeer!

Daddy just heard one that I liked, the only part that I caught was “Ho Ho Ho and a bottle of rum, Santas gone to the Caribbean!”

I’m getting Nuttin’ for Christmas!

Broke my bat on Johnny’s head;
Somebody snitched on me.
I hid a frog in sister’s bed;
Somebody snitched on me.
I spilled some ink on Mommy’s rug;
I made Tommy eat a bug;
Bought some gum with a penny slug;
Somebody snitched on me.

CHORUS: Oh,
I’m gettin’ nuttin’ for Christmas
Mommy and Daddy are mad.
I’m gettin’ nuttin’ for Christmas
‘Cause I ain’t been nuttin’ but bad.

I won’t be seeing Santa Claus;
Somebody snitched on me.
He won’t come visit me because
Somebody snitched on me.
Next year I’ll be going straight;
Next year I’ll be good, just wait
I’d start now, but it’s too late;
Somebody snitched on me.
So you better be good whatever you do
‘Cause if you’re bad, I’m warning you,
You’ll get nuttin’ for Christmas.

A not so dangerous….

We did experiments before and this one is not quite so dangerous (;Â .Â But it is a lot of fun!

Andrea and I went to Science Sleuths.Â We had lots of fun!Â We did lots of fun things. We were studying senses.Â We used all of them.

One of them was that we had a juice taste test.Â With nose plugged, I guessed grape, apple, blackberry and apple (they had two of the same ones).Â With nose unplugged, I got grape, orange, blackberry and apple.Â It should have went grape, orange, apple and apple!

Then we had a piece of paper that had a 1 inch by 1 inch square in the middle.Â We looked through it Focused on something, like someone’s nose.Â Looked through the hole and brought it closer to your eyes.Â The one that peeks through it is your dominate eye.Â The first time I did it I got left.Â The second and third time I got right.Â I’m thinking my dominate eye is my right eye.

We touched bobby pins to our cheeks, our forehead, our lips, the back of our neck one shoulder, one elbow the back of a hand, a palm a knee and a shin.Â We counted how many tips we felt and it was a rating of one or two how sensitive our skin was in those places.

When we got home we did this experiment.Â WeÂ put blue food coloring through a hole on a piece of paper.Â Then we counted how many white dots were in the blue area.Â If you counted them you could figure out which category you are.Â The categories are non taster (15 spots or under), average taster (16 to 34 spots) and super-taster (35 spots or more.)

I am a non taster.Â Everybody else were non-taster that we tried this experiment on.Â We thought Audrey would be a super taster because she doesn’t like grapefruit and super-tasters are more sensitive to sour than average and non tasters.

It probably means that Daddy is a non taster too, because everyone else in this house is.Â We followed all the directions, unless I missed something.

A word of warning:Â Do not paint on yourself except for your tongue–it disappears quickly there.Â Do not paint on the bathroom sink or Momma’s washcloths, or the table, or yourÂ clothes.Â If you do, your in trouble!

Scout Popcorn Award

A few daysÂ agoÂ I went to round table !Â Â It is something that scout leaders do to get ideasÂ I do not know why it is calledÂ round table.

I got two tickets to a Notre Dame basket ball game.Â The hockey tickets were gone 🙁 .Â I got themÂ becauseÂ I was one ofÂ the first to fill two Popcorn order forms.Â Notre Dame is playing Delaware State.

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â who should I root for?

Dentist and Glasses…Oh my!

Christmas Surprise!!!!!!

A fewÂ days ago we went to the CREATIONÂ Museum in Kentucky!!!!!!!!!!!! Â Â Â 😮 Â Â Â Â Â 8) Â Â Â Â 😉

We wentÂ because Â it was a Christmas Surprise from Oma!!!!!!Â Â Â The Christmas Surprise was ffffffuuuuuuuuuuuunnnnnnnnnnn !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I also metÂ Ken HamÂ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He wrote a bunch of neat books about Creation and evolution. Â He writes about how evolution is not true and God created the world in 6 – 24 hour days.Â Creation isÂ true!

We learned about the Â “7 C’s of Creation”.Â They areÂ God Created everything.Â Â Adam and Eve ate the fruit that God them not to and caused Corruption to the world.Â Catastrophe happened when there was a world wide flood and God judged the world.Â Noah and his family survived on the ark, but everybody else died because they chose not to listen to God.Â Years later God Confused peoples languages at Babel.Â The people where trying to build a tower that reached up to heaven.Â Jesus Christ came as a baby and died on the Cross for when we disobey.Â Then he rose again!Â Consummation is when Jesus returns to the world.Â He is going to take people who believe in him to heaven and judge the world.Â Then he willÂ remake the world. It’s going to be perfect!
