Special Olympics

     When I was told that my classmates and I were going to go help with bowling for Special Olympics I wasn't very sure that I really wanted to go but I went anyway because it got me out of school. However honestly I had a blast. These people are just amazing and so full of life. It was great to be able to cheer them on and just be their "Cheerleader" for the day. Just watching these people bowl you see that no matter how bad or good they play they kept going and were determined to have a good time. I'm not saying that it was easy though. One of the ladies in my group was deaf, so it was difficult to talk to her. I think she could read lips nevertheless it was still a struggle. But just smiling and giving her a high five or a pat on the back just gave her this big smile. It’s a great feeling helping someone or just encouraging them. I strongly encourage anyone that has never been to Special Olympics to go. Help someone that is a little different. Just because someone may not act or talk the same way you do doesn’t make them un-human. It makes them different. And who wants to be the same as the person next to you? :D -Bobbi Jo

Friendship :)

Friends are amazing. I love that my friends are there for me and help me through this crazy thing called life. Friends make your life more excited! When I think of friendships in the Bible I think of Jonathan and David. Their friendship is unbreakable. I love it! Even though David's daddy wanted to kill Jonathan, David made a way to keep Jonny Boy safe and unharmed. That is true friends. Some qualities in my friends that I see and look for are:

1.) STRANGTH. Not physically. But a strong person. Someone who is a stong christian and is just a leader. Sometimes I need to be lead. Yeah.. :)
2.) HONESTY. I want my friends to be honest and not keep stuff from me. I want them to tell me when I'm wrong and mess up. Thats really the only way we grow.
3.) KINDNESS. My friends are so nice.
4.) TRUSTWORTHY. I trust my friends and I hope they can trust me. I hate it when people talk behind peoples backs. Although sometimes I have trouble with it. Which is onething I'm not proud of. I'm sorry. 

The main thing I struggle with is gossipping I really need to get that under control. You know Eph. 4:29! Yeah.


My Best Friend outside of OBA is Libby. I hav known Lib since I was a baby. She is amazing. I think the reason we are best friend is because we have grown up together and know EVERYTHING about eachother. And we can be completely honest with eachother and talk about anything. We grew up in the same church together so we have the same beliefs.

Friendship quote!!: "Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Just walk beside me and be my friend.”

The revealing of Jesus

The Book revolation tels the revolation of Jesus Christ. In revolation 1:9-16 it tells the character of Jesus. It says his voice was great like a trumpet. He was cloted in garment down to his feet, and a golden scarf. His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow. White. Usually when you think of white you think what? pure. When i think white i think clean, safe, pure. Jesus was pure. He is pure. He's awesome. His eyes were as a flame of fire; his feet like unto fine brass as if they burned in a furnace; an his voice as the sound of many waters. When Jesus comes back we wll all stand in amazement of him. He will know if you have been a folower of him or a follower of the world. When you leave this world and see him face to face Christ will either say "well done my servant" or "I know you not."  Which one do you want to hear? I want to here "well done my servant." i want him to recognize me. I want to spend eternity with him.
