Girls Who Make A Difference!

Hi again. I am back. On Thursday, I had a medieval feast. I dressed up as Sabra from St. George and the Dragon. See me. I am in the brownish orange dress on the right. I am with my friends Sabra and Sabra (Charisa and Madison). We got to eat everything with our hands...everything, including cherry pie.

This week I have been reading Ten Girls Who Made a Difference. I would like to tell you about one of the girls who made a difference. Her name is Monica and she prayed for her son named Augustine for him to convert to Christianity. If you are not a Christian, and you are on this blog, email me and I would be happy to answer questions. I don't have all the answers, but I have some. Now back to Monica, her son Augustine didn't care much about anything...just to have fun. She prayed for at least ten years for him. He finally converted to Christianity and he became a saint. So some of the worst people who are not Christians can become the best Christians of all.

Today my dad built a super cool zip line in my back yard. It is super duper wooper cool zip line that goes from our pine tree to our club house. It is made out of steel cable that is pulled real tight. We are still working on getting it perfect, but it is very good. If you are a dad and reading this blog (I hope not only ladies are reading this blog), you could build a zip line for your kids. They will love you. You can call my dad for the plans from his head.

Keep reading!

Wow! How cool to have a zipline! And I too really liked that book about 10 girls who made a difference! I personally think that you would be in a second volume about girls who make a difference. You are just like your mom! (That is a compliment! :))
Keep going!

Hi Gracie, I miss you already. You told me some things about the book you just finished and of course I saw the zip line. It's neat. I know you will enjoy it if sister lets you get on it. Keep reading and I'll see you in less than a month. Love you!

Thanks for visiting my blog!

If this is your first time to my blog I am excited to have you visit. I started this blog to help me reach my goal of reading 100 books in 2010. I am thrilled to say that I did reach that goal and read about 20 additional books too. Now, I have given my blog a new name and a new beginning. Here you will read side-splitting, inspiring, and fascinating facts about fencing, cooking, reading, homeschooling, California, my cute dog Teeny, and my older sister FM. Don't forget to leave a comment! If you don't, I may have to come and find you, and poke you with my foil!
