The sounds had come from the orchard. Peter was there, as well as Jenny, so I knew the sounds should be high. I should hear their shrieks of laughter but I couldn't and they weren't. The sounds I heard were sad. They were sad and gloomy because the orchard was on fire. The flames were not orange tongues but they were black and you couldn't decipher them from anything else. The theme is the harmful effects of insanity and people drowning in puddles.

Isn't it weird that we'll be looking back at today and judging ourselves? I mean, we'll be calling us immature and over-reactory. Today could be the strangest day of your past. Think of a time when you were young, like younger than me, and you cried not because you hurt yourself, but because of something someone said. Right now it's the thing that least concerns you, but then it was the worst thing that could and would happen to you. At this point in life you may be having some mid-life crisis, but probably later you won't remember all of it or the turmoil.

Psalm of Praise

Praise the Lord!

Praise God for the rolling hills

praise the Lord for the flat lands, too

Thank the Lord for the glimmering stars

thank God for the bright, shining sun

Praise God for the dry, hot desert

praise God for the clear, blue sea

Praise the Lord for the colourful flowers

praise the Lord for the green trees

Praise the Lord!

Give thanks to the Lord!

Thank the Lord for the quick deer

thank God for the slow sloth

Thank God for the huge elephant

thank the Lord for the tiny ant

Thank the Lord for the hopping bunny

thank the Lord for the slithering snake

Give thanks to the Lord!

At CCS we are going to have a musical tonight. It is called Compose Yourself, it is about famous composers it is boring and pointless like most of the programs held at CCS. I hope a teacher doesn't read this. Whoa! That is a scary thought. Johann Strauss Jr., Johann Sebastian Bach, George Fredick Haydn, and Ludwick Beethoven are some composers mentioned. The plot is kind of weird it is about statues of famous composers coming to life and telling people about their lives. The only thing I do is sing really weird songs here is an example "Hello everybody and welcome to our show we're mighty glad you came to hear our oratorio" That is just part of it, the teachers actually tried to do a rap!

"Take your evil deeds out of my sight.

Stop doing wrong, learn to do right.

Seek justice, encourage the oppressed;

Defend the cause of the fatherless;

Plead the case of the widow.

Come now, let us reason together," says the Lord

" Though your sins are like scarlet,

they shall be as white as snow.

Though they are as red as crimson,

they shall be like wool.

If you are willing and obedient,

you will eat the best from the land

but, if you resist and rebel

you shall be devoured by the sword."

For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.

Isaiah 1: 16b-20

I can't believe it! On Monday I get to wear hoop earrings. My mom is always looking out the window in the direction of the park to see if Linda is coming across the park. Whenever I think of Linda I remember the last time I hugged her. Linda had already gone away and we missed her. My mom and I were downtown so my mom could run some errands.My mom was going to show me where Linda worked we were just going to look at the building. Then as if drawn like a magnet we walked up to the door. My mom told me that sometimes Linda out running errands, but I hoped she was there.We walked into the building. My mom just about to ask if Linda was there, when Linda walked around the corner. I think she was surprised. She said I love you and we hugged a huge hug a long one too. Sadly we had to go. I know Linda is coming back, but I miss her.

Today at school we (meaning me and my friends) were playing a game, and Janna Lees saw a brown bat. We asked the teacher if it was real and it was. Then we got Mr. Boer (since he is ever taking pictures) and told him, he didn't think it was a real bat but it was. He took some pictures and then everyone came crowding around just because of a bat.

Although I have nothing to write about I decided it was time for me to update on my blog. I haven't posted in a while and I am afraid my blog may be forgotten. I guess it's is just because I am just starting and I am a little obbessed.

2006-03-21T15:53:00.000-08:00

I am sorry to say I could not get the picture working properly working so I'll just have to say life is unfair, a lesson I have been told at least 70 times! Anyway have a good week.

Let me tell you more about day-flying broad bordered bee hawks. Like Jono or Janice said it is a moth. It is a moth but is much prettier than most. The day-flying broad-bordered bee hawk is found in southern England. When resting the moth looks like a bee but as you all know it is most certainly not. I could only find two pictures of a day-flying broad-bordered bee hawk in my next entry will be the other picture I found. It is not as close up the other one but still half decent. I think. I hope you do too.

2006-03-18T07:44:00.000-08:00

here is a picture of a day-flying broad-bordered bee hawk in the book I have there is a better picture. Too bad!

I haven't been able to write on my blog much because I went to the Art Gallery of Hamilton one day and then stayed at my Oma's house for three days. We took the go train and bus home. That was my first time riding in a go train. It wasn't very exciting. My Oma is staying in my room until Monday, March the 20th. I am going to have fun! I have so much to write but I don't really feel like typing. bye!

2006-03-14T14:26:00.000-08:00

Today we went to the Art Gallery of Hamilton (AGH) and saw many beautiful drawings, paintings, and sculptures. There was this one room where there was this video that made you dizzy and canvases with random white lines on it, it wasn't even modern art!
There was also (my favourite piece of art) a truck with toys all in the front and it had a whole city. It was very inspriring you could look at it for hours and still not see all the things the artist put in. I didn't put in a very good desciption of the art gallery but I already have to go. I have already been on the computer an hour.bye

Animals

Let me finish introducing myself. My favourite animal is a day flying broad-bordered bee hawk. It looks really nice. I know of it because it is in a book with many animal and plant pictures the book is called The Living World. God has made so many different animals that we know and don't know of.
I also like big cats mostly lions and tigers, though. I have some pictures. Take a look. Got to go it is suppertime.

This is my sister Karen and also my brother-in-law Clint. Thanks for reading!

2006-03-13T14:24:00.000-08:00

Well it looks like I've done it! I've made a blog and I hope you'll enjoy it. Mine will definatly not be as well written as John's or as interesting as Karen and Clint's but, it'll be good I think. Let me introduce myself, I am a member of the den Boer family with a dutch backround (of course). I am the youngest in the family (the sixth child). I have four older sisters and one older brother my brother, John, is married to a very wonderful girl named Larrianne (she is from Burudi). My oldest sister and oldest sibling, Karen, is married to someone, Clint, that if you see them together you know that they are together, all the same with Larrianne and John of course. I also have a sister, Linda, and a sister, Suzanne, and also a sister Rachel the arguements I get into are mostly with her. She is fifteen. My sister Karen is going to have baby that would make me an aunt at the age of 9! I am so happy, most people are, my sister has been married almost six years now. God has answered our prayers!
Let me tell you about me. I was born October 4th 1996. I like soccer and running. I'd like to write more but it is almost supper. Until next time!
yours, Christina

P.S. I am usually not this cheesy in my closings but for a special occaision I decided it was worth it.
