Another Friday has arrived, which means Friday Blog Post time. What could be more exciting?! For today's post, I would like you to consider your Netvibes tabs. Are you pleased with what you have chosen to put in your tabs? If so, why? If not, what changes do you plan on making? Remember: these tabs should be about your interests and activities...
For the second part of today's post, please describe one of the "this is where I am with God" areas in need of attention. What specific things are you going to do? And, I don't mean this is something I'm going to do at some vague point in the future. I mean right now. Today.
I'm not sure if I'm pleased on what I chose for my tab. I mean I like space and all but there's not a lot of intresting stuff in my feed. I want to add on but I'm not sure what I want to put. I mean my 2 other interests is animals and drawing. I want to learn new drawing techniques but I'm pretty sure there's no feed for that.
As I said before a week ago; I'm not entirely sure where I am in my walk. I know I haven't accepted Christ but I don't even know how to get to that point. I mean sometimes I think I feel the Holy Spirit but then it just vanishes. I'm not even entirely sure who to talk to about it. I told my parents that I haven't accepted Christ and they kind of just shrugged it off.
I think today I need to seek the reason to why I can't accept him. I need to learn more about Christ so I can better understand the faith. I think I should start reading the Bible more often and some of the people I know might need to do the same. I mean the Bible is the "guide book" to understanding God, right? These are the steps I plan to take.

For today's post, please share your thoughts and reactions to chapel yesterday. Although Simon Says was super fun (and not one of you managed to beat Mr. Teller!), I'd like to hear about more than those few moments of chapel. Feel free to mention it, of course :) But venture beyond and consider the message of chapel. Looking forward to reading more of your posts...I've enjoyed them so far.
I've been enjoying the past few chapels this year. It has been a change moving chapel days to Mondays rather than Wednesdays. Last chapel we had a new band called "The Cody Chitwood Project", I love Cody Chitwood...with a passion. Anyway, after that we played Simon Says with Mr. Teller. It was pretty pointless because Simon can't lose. Even though we couldn't win I saw how it tied into the lesson.
Mr. Teller talked about how we need to live by faith not by sight. I realized that I have been living by sight
and not by faith. Maybe that's why I can't accept Christ as my Savior. I realize that I need to change a lot of things in my spiritual life. I realize that I need to grow closer to God.
I liked the first Chapel the best because we were able to go into small groups and talk individually. I also like how we prayed individually and learned more about God and about each other. I think that this year I'll grow stronger in my walk with Christ. I hope this year in chapel will be a good one.

Description of what you learned
Explanation of what you think ot it
Description of how you will apply it
Possible reasons other people should care about what you learned
For the second part of today's post, please share where you are in relationship to God (an intentionally open-ended request - you must think!).
Most people wouldn't peg me as a science guy but yes I do like weird stuff. I learned from my netvibes account on my NASA feed that we've been getting pictures of supernovas and even shots from other galaxies. I never knew how much our technology has advanced in such a short period of time until I read up on NASA. For some reason I've always been fascinated by space. Just imagining the unknown parts of space that haven't been explored yet is fascinating to me and makes me realize just how small we are.
Now for my spiritual life. I hate to say it but I've never been very connected to God; it's always been ... iffy. I know that I can't be in the middle (half-way accept Christ) so I'm going to just go ahead and say what many people don't know. I have not excepted Christ yet so technically (even typing this gives me a bitter taste in my mouth) I'm not a Christian. I've always been questioning my faith. Even though I do believe in God I haven't excepted him, so don't say I'm an athiest. I'm not even sure when I will; but before you were saved yourself did you know? No.
As for questioning Christianity; It's just been really hard for me to understand that someone that we can't see, feel, or hear is everywhere and has created everything we know. I mean I go to church to see if eventually I will understand but I never do get it. Even in chapel I pay attention but I still can't understand, I feel like he's not been there for me and I've never experienced him. I even read the Bible but it hasn't connected with me yet. I hope for all my friends and even people I don't know too well will not view me differently after reading this.

So, the question, then, is how do we choose to meet this new school year? Do we even need to choose how we will begin or do we simply show up at school with backpacks and just start? Why even think about these questions?!
Well, as with all things Mrs. Smith English, purpose exists. What do you suppose that purpose is? How do you answer the above questions? That, friends, is the topic for your first blog post of this 2010/2011 school year.
This school year I plan to show more work ethic. Last year I was told that I didn't take things too seriously, but this year it's going to be different. I've already started working harder than before and not procrastinating. In fact, I'm getting stuff done days before it's due. I hope this new way of going about things will reflect onto my grades.
I think I need to approach this new school year with a better attitude. Most of the times when I'm faced with something I either do it later or don't care. This year I've been trying to get rid of that attitude and I would guess it's sort of working. Even though I've been trying to change my attitude the only thing I like about school is being with my friends. This school year I'm going to at least try to make new friends.
I think that I need to ask myself why I am doing this because it gives me an idea of what I'm going to set my goals as for this school year. If I had no actual plan and just hope that I do good without applying myself ... well for those who know me knows how that would end up. Last year that's how I went about things and I don't think I did too well. This year I think we should all come up with a plan on how we're going to go about this school year. I hope I do better than last year and hope that everyone has a good year.
