Hi fellow bloggers! Its me again!(of coarse!) Just wanted to let you guys know that I probably won't be blogging for a few days because I'll be working on a book I'm writing. Yeah, I'm writing a book. I wrote the first two chapters a few months ago and then kinda quit. But after going to "Barnes and Noble" today and seeing a book written by a young teenager not much older than me, I've once again been inspired! (I think the book the girl wrote was called "Sword Bird" or something) Well, I have to go now. See y'all whenever I have a chance to blog again! Blogging Out-Majel

TV- Why Waste Your Time?
I was just talking to my mom when the subject turned to TV. How many of you watch TV-a lot. I used to! Then- after a series of "to hard to explain" events- we stopped. I mean, we still watch a little TV every now and then, but not much, because my brother has the only working DVD player in his room and we don't really have anything to watch. Well anyway, once we were at church and the paster was preaching on...... something- I don't remember exactly what- but then he told us something that shocked me (even though it shouldn't of.) He said that the average person spends 14 YEARS watching television. 14 YEARS!!! And 4 of those years are commercials. That makes me mad. I guess the only one I can blame for watching so much TV is me- so I'm just mad at myself- but after hearing that I really don't want to waste my time watching it. My mom says she'd rather us go out and have fun with our own life (obeying God all the while ) than sit and watch someone else live there's. I totally agree. I know some of you probably don't watch TV at your house- and are glad that you don't!- but those of you who do, I encourage you to try not to do it too much. Why waste your time in front of box?! Go out and live life!
God Bless-Majel

Everyday Life....
Hi! I'm back from.......not blogging I guess. Well anyway, I tried to write a more interesting post, but I'm uuhhhh-having some difficulties so I'll get back to that one tomorrow! Nothing much has happened. I've mostly been swimming today and then I went on a walk with my sister (got to have some quality sister time!) and I'm still worn out from that-we have lots of hills where we live. Oops! I have to go do some chores! Blogging Out-Majel

One of My Fave Verses
I have something to blog about! Yes! OK, I was on the blog "Of The World, Not In It" and she said to blog about your favorite verse and why you like it. So that's what I'm doing. Here's ONE of my favorite verses: Proverbs 17:27-28 (NLT) "A truly wise person uses few words; a person with understanding is even-tempered. Even fools are considered wise when they keep silent; when they keep their mouths shut, they seem intelligent." I like that verse because I've never been a very talkative person, not unless I warm up to you (then I could talk for hours on end!) Sometimes not talking a lot makes me feel like I need to be like other people and talk more, but when I read that verse I realized that its OK not to talk a lot. Its actually good. I'm mean, you need to learn how to interact and get along with other people, but sometimes its good to just close your mouth! Get what I mean? I hope so. Anytime I feel different or weird, I just remember that verse and I usually feel MUCH better. I hope you learned something from that! Blogging Out-Majel

My Mind is Blank
What should I blog about? I mean, I guess I could blog about us getting a new table, but who wants to read about that? Not me! As some of you may know, this is a problem I often come across-and I don't like it. My mind is blank. I'll TRY to blog later-if I can think of anything! Well, blogging out-Majel

Hi!!!
I just started this blog and I'm excited about what will happen here. I just can't wait! So the first thing I'm going to do is say hi to all you bloggers and blog readers."Hi!" Now that I'm done with that I'll tell you what's been going on in my life. Well, I've mostly stayed inside today because it started storming and now its all wet outside. I've read a little and fixed up this blog, nothing very interesting. Yesterday however, we went swimming and brought a few friends along with us. We were having a pretty good time-then I stepped on a bee. Ouch. It hurt BAD. At first it didn't hurt that bad and I thought a little bug had just bitten my foot or something, no big deal. As I lifted my foot to swat off the thing the pain kicked in-along with some fear. When I saw the bee on the ground and felt the pain, I started crying. I know, know. That was really babiesh, but I did it anyway. I think I mostly cried out of pain, but also from fear. Once when I was little I got stung by a Yellow Jacket and my lip swelled up really big. I'm allergic to them. So I was afraid something bad was going to happen. As it turned out, it wasn't a Yellow Jacket so I was OK and my dad got the stinger out really easily. I'll be carefull were I step with barefeet from now on! I can't help but feel sorry for the bee though. May he rest in peace. Blogging out, Majel.
