One dark morning when the rain clouds were out and you wake up and it still feels like night, the Chenoweth kids which contained Denis who was the oldest boy and the only boy, Sabra who was the oldest girl, Kimbra who was the second youngest and Gayle who was the youngest of them all. They were all playing out in the rain it had been pouring down for almost a full 24 hours, the kids had got all there work done around the farm feeding and watering the animals and doing there chores for inside.

Somehow the Kids had ventured off into the woods behind the Chenoweths house. They then wound up to a river where they found it a good idea to get on this peice of board which was about 4feet X 4feet they then start to ride it down the river. Everything was going fine and everyone was having a good time playing in the rain and floating down the river until something went wrong. Gayle the youngest child of the Chenoweths had gotten swept underneathe the current and was unableto latch onto anything to keep her head upout of the water so she could breathe.

The three other Chenoweth kids startedto panic they did not know what to do, they didn’tknow if they should go get help or to call for help or anything. Finally Denis the oldest child in the family and the only boy jumped in. For a few seconds Sabra and Kimbra who were the only ones left on the peice of board didnt see asign of Gayle or Denis all there hopes were almost up when two bodies popped out of the water, Kimbra and Sabra began to swim the wood over to Denis and Gayle.

Finally they were pulled to safety both gasping for breathe but atleast breathing and alive. They all struggled to get the wood to the bank of the river but they did it, they had a long 2 mile walk to get to there house, they were all freezing but all happy to be safe and alive and ready to get home.

One October morning the sun was not even out and it was a Saturday. Van Morris and his mom and dad were getting ready to leave for Columbus Ohio for Van’s 2 hockey games. Like the usual Van would take a shower at night so he could get up in the morning and just go straight to the car and sleep on the ride. The ride is about 3 hours long and Van and his parents stopped for Mcdonalds ten minutes before the game. Finally they were at the rink it was chilly outside and in the rink it was chilly out to wear shorts but not cold enough to wear a big coat. It was a normal weekend of hockey Van started to get dressed for the game and listened to the coach tell us what we needed to do to win this game. Finally it was gametime Van strapped his helmet put his gloves on and grabbed his stick and headed out for pre game warm ups. Finally it was time for the game, Vans dad was running the penalty box. Finally they lined up for the face off Van was taking the draw he won the draw and the game was off. From the beginning of the game the refs were horrible, it was the third period 5 minutes left in the game Van had the puck and got a shot off, he rushed the goalie and got knocked down, but for no reason the ref grabbed him by his jesey and pulled him right up off the ice. Because of Van’s attitude he told the ref to get off of him because the ref should not be grabbing kids with almost an intention to hurt kids. Because Van’s dad was in the penalty box he immediately started to go off because of the way the ref grabbed Van. Van’s dad got all in the refs face and started to blow up. Finally they got his dad off the ice, van got kicked out for the rest of that game and the next game. For some reason the cops got involved and the news channels showed up. Van had to be escorted out of a back door so he wasnt seen by the media. On the ride home they discussed what had happened and later on laughed about it.

The Loucks

One bright and early morning when the roosters were crowing and the sky looks almost like it is orange. Lavaughn and Mary Louck were on their back porch eating breakfast together like they do every morning. Then it was time for Lavaughn to go to work.
Lavaughn’s job was to move houses but todays day of work wasn’t like like any other day of work. Lavaughn was trying to slide the fourth block under the house to raise it a little more, but then the corner of the house slips off the other three blocks and onto him. As he yells as loud as he can for helphe feels his back throbbing with pain. Finally his crew got the house off of him.
Lavaughn being the hard headed man he is got right up and got back to work because he wasn’t ever the one to whine or complain. When he got home Mary noticed Lavaughn was in pain so she suggested he go to the doctor but being Lavaughn was hard headed and had never missed a day of work in his life he kept on working the rest of the week.
Finally Friday came there was one thing Lavaughn had always done and that was only he drives the car, but he was in so much pain he couldnt even drive, so finally Mary couldn’t take seeing him like that anymore so she refused to take him to work and made him stay home from work to go to the doctor.
He went to the doctor later that morning, the doctor told him two of his vertebraes were broke, they then put a neck brace on him to raise his head off of his vertebraes and as soon as they did they all the pain was gone and he actually ended up driving back home from the doctor.

The Chenoweths

Max and Shelba Chenoweth lived in Jay County, Indiana on a farm down in the meadow. To the left of the house was their field where the corn was growing tall, to the right was a thick ten acres of woods with 4-wheeler trails weaving in and out of them. Behind the house was there big red barn with all sorts of animals inside.

The Chenoweths were involved in 4H showing and selling all kinds of animals ranging from; Turkeys, chickens, goats, cows, and there favorite animal pigs. One summer the Chenoweths decided to get with a bunch of other farmers and have a big sale at the Jay County Fairgrounds.

So the Chenoweths began to prepare, Shelba began to search for their phonebook she finally found it in the drawer by the sink. She then looked up everyone in the phonebook that she knew had farm animals and she called them.

Why Shelba was making the calls and doing all the paperwork and money work, Max was busy getting all of the animals ready by feeding and cleaning the animals up. For two weeks straight the county all came together and helped get things ready.

The animals pins were set in place, the show ring had shavings layed down on the ground to walk the animals onto and sold. It was then finally time for the sale all the bidders showed up around 10 a.m. to check all of the animals out.

Then around noon when the actual sale started crowds began to roll in. The bidders got what animals they wanted and left. Some of the bidders will use the animals to breed and show but then some bidders just got the animals to stuff there freezers with meat to feed a army.

The sun was beginning to set leaving the sky with a bright orange an yellow color. All the people had finally left around 9 p.m. Max and Shelba glance at all the pins that were once full with animals but are now empty with just shavings in them. Max and Shelba then call it a night and close up the fairgrounds to head home and get a good night sleep.

Iroquois Constitution

The Iroquois Constitution

In the book The Iroquois constitution there are five nations, all based around a tree called the Great Long Leaves Tree. It is said with the shade of the tree facing on the globe they spread the soft white feathery down as the globe thistles as seats for us. There we should sit and watch the council fire of the confederacy of the five nations, and everything of the five nations should be shown at this place before you.

The tree has roots spreading from the East, West, South and North, the roots spread peace and strength. I the men or nations obey the laws of the tree, they may follow the roots to the tree and if their minds are clear and they promise to obey the council they shall be aloud to take shelter under the tree.

At the top of the tree lives a eagle who is there to watch and see if any evil is approaching or anything danger threatening he will worn the confederacy. The confederacy will then build a big fire so other confederates can see it. Once they see the fire they will gather food, clothing or anything else that is needed to help out the great tree win the battle.

All the lords in the confederacy must be honest in all things. It is wrong for a lord to lead people into trivial affairs. The people must hold their lords up high because of the position the lords are in. When a candidate lord comes a long he is to face a lot of obstacles, he must exercise justice in all affairs.

When lords are crowned they are crowned with sacred emblem, which is a deer antlers. You shall be proof against anger, offensive actions, and criticism. Your heart must be filled with peace and good will and your mind filled with a yearning for the welfare of the people of the confederacy. You shall have endless patience, and always carry out your duty, and your firmness shall be tempered with tenderness for your people.

Kobe Bryant

Dear diary,
It is September 17th, 2008 it’s nine in the morning and I just woke up. The first thing I do is have my butler cook me up some bacon, eggs and toast. Then after me and my family eat I kiss my wife goodbye and head to the gym.
At the gym I met my off season lifting trainer. Because it is only off season me and my trainer go through some light lifts. After about a hour in a half of lifting I hop in my Lamborghini and head to the basketball courts where I meet up with Lebron James and him and I off season basketball trainer.
Lebron and I have been friends ever since he got in the NBA, we hang out almost everyday in the off season we use each other to get better for the regular season. Once Lebron and I are done we go back to our houses where we get cleaned up and ready to go out to eat and go to the MTV music awards.
Once my wife and I get cleaned up we have a hummer limo come get us and go get Lebron and his girlfriend. Then from there we go out to one of the most well known restaurants in downtown Las Angeles. After we eat our girls go out with their friends and Lebron and I go pick up Lil Wayne and Jeezy from their hotel suites in Las Angeles.
We love riding in style everywhere we go, once we get to the awards paparazzi swarm all around us just trying to get every picture they can. I finally get to my seat where I watch everyone get their awards for music, just sitting there remembering back on all the awards I have gotten.
The best part of the awards show was when Lil Wayne and Kid Rock performed together on stage. Later on that night after the awards there was a after party that everyone went to. So many famous people were at the party. Ranging from rappers, producers, actors, athletes, pop singers and a whole lot of more people. This was a great night yet it is just another life of a famous person.

Does the sermon work? Do you agree with it?

Does the sermon work? Do you agree with it?

Van Morris Blog

I believe the sermon works because it is almost like you having to scare someone about the devil and how the devils after life work. As we all know Heaven is going to be a great and wonderful place. But do people realize how bad and horrible the devils after life will be? If you are not a Christian you need to recognize how bad hell is and how bad the devil will torture you.

None of us can even phantom how bad hell is. If you think slavery was wrong just imagine what hell is like. I believe Hell is one hundred times worse. We can imagine and think about how bad hell is but we will never know unless you are a non believer. On the other hand for Believers our after life is going to be great. In my opinion, Heaven is going to be just as great as everyone makes it sound. I think we will be able to do anything or get anything that pleasures us as long as it is not against God.

I believe this story has a very good message to it. Like I said before you might have to scare somebody into believing even though that sounds wrong. It will be better for them and you. Nobody wants to see a friend or family member burn in hell. Just because they didn’t believe Jesus was their Savior. That he is the Son of God. I do not know about you but I would do anything to help my friends or family because believers of our Lord Jesus. I want to be able to see and have a good time up in heaven with the ones I love.

This is a good sermon and story. I believe everyone should read it especially non believers.

Can money buy happiness?

Can money buy happiness? Most humans would agree it doesn’t, but in my mind money can buy you happiness. Just think if you didn’t have money you wouldn’t have the things you have today in life.

Money gets you a lot of things like; food, clothes, shelter and etc. These are some of the main things to keep you alive. Money can get you a nice house, a nice car, and nice clothes. Money can get you a lot of things that make you happy.

If you have money you need to use the money in a smart way. You just can’t go out and by a lot of things at one time. If you spend money like that you have a better chance of becoming in debt. In the long run could have you slowly start to lose your money.

A smart way to have money and live a happy life is to pay all your bills then with the money left put about half in the bank. Let your savings account keep adding up.

With the other half of the money you will be able to spend on things that make you a happy person. Whether or not you want to believe me about this subject it is up to you, but in my opinion money can give you happiness to a certain extent.
