Jessie's Place

Last Sunday I went to this place it was called Jessie's Place. Jessie's Place is a home for women and children who are homeless. I went with my mom, Mrs. Brittnie, my friend, Jadon and Mrs. Lynsey and Mrs. Kari. We took coloring books and books that you can read and you can just look at the books. We took candy and food that's good for you too. There was a little boy his name was A.J. He was really nice at first but then when you get to know him he's really wild. Well when we first got there A.J. grabbed my finger and took me to the kitchen. Then a few minute's later he got really wild. Then me and Jadon met this boy his name was Nathan. He could run very fast. Jadon is really fast too and he could barely beat him. Then it was time to eat and we served dinner to all the moms and their kids. A.J. didn't want to eat. He wanted to play.  We played in the playroom with A.J. and Nathan.  After we did all that other stuff it was time to go but I did not want to go. We had a lot of fun that day then we went to eat with our friends.I had a lot of fun and now we are going to go every month. Well I don't know about all the other people but I hope they go too. Please pray for the women and children at Jessie's Place. (you can drop off food or toys there anytime you want to)

Queen Esther

Esther was a very pretty girl and she was very nice. She was taken to the kings castle. The king was wanting to get a new queen. And he picked Esther to be queen. She was so happy.
There was a mean guy his name was Haman. Haman wanted to kill all of the Jews. And Esther was a Jew. Esther invited Haman and the king to eat dinner. When they were at dinner she told them that she was a Jew. The queen also told KingXerxes about Hamans plan to kill her people. Haman did not belive her and said that she just wanted to save all the people. The king left and Haman was about to hurt Esther but all of a sudden the king jumped out of nowhere and saved Esther. Then the king let her people be saved because he loved her. They lived happily ever after.

The story of Esther is found in the old testament of the Bible. There is also a very good movie about this story called, One Night With The King. This is one of my favorite movies!

The Story of Zacchaeus

Zacchaeus was a tax collector. He cheated people. He was short but he was very tricky. (This story comes from Luke 19:1-10) Nobody liked Zacchaeus. One day a crowd came by and Jesus was there. Zacchaeus was too short. He said a few people wont keep me from seeing Jesus. So he climbed up in a tree. Then Jesus came by and he said Zacchaeus you come out of that tree. He said to Zacchaeus I'm going too your house today. Zacchaeus zoomed out of that tree he said to Jesus if I have cheated someone I'm going to pay them back all their money and I'm going to give half of my money to the poor.

Zacchaeus loved Jesus alot.

Helen Keller

This week I have been learning about Helen Keller. She lived in Tuscumbia, Alabama. At one and a half she became very sick and ill. She lost her hearing and vision. When Helen got older her parents knew they needed help so they hired a tutor. Her name was Anne. She was strict but she had alot of energy. It was amazing what Helen could do when she was deaf and could not see. She wrote books and helped with the braille system and inspired movies. One day Anne had a good idea she told Helen to put one of her hands under the water and in her other hand Anne spelled w-a-t-e-r. Then she said touch the ground and Anne spelled e-a-r-t-h in her other hand .That day Helen learnd 30 words. One night when Helen was asleep she died. It was 1968 and she was 87.

FIREPROOF

One night I went to see a new movie with my parents and my brother and sister. The name of the movie is Fireproof. It is one of my favorite movies now. Everyone needs to go see it. A boy and girl named Caleb and Catherine were about to get a divorce and then they got saved. My favorite parts of the movie were when Caleb pulled a little girl out of a fire and at the end when Catherine goes to the firestation in a very pretty red dress. There was a really funny part when a boy is acting moncho in the mirror and another guy was spying on him. I can't wait until this movie comes out on video so I can see it again, and again, and again.

My Babtism

On May 18 it was my paw paws birthday. And on his birthday something wonderful happened. Me and my brother got babtized. I was so happy because I always wanted to get babtized. Brother Jeff babtized me and my brother, Dallas.My nanny and paw paw were there and my grandaddy and grammy were there too. My uncle and aunt, Drew and Shelby, and my friends from church were there. It was at Shockosprings. There was a pool and a lake.We got to play for a while but then it was time to go get babtized so I had to go to the lake. I did not get to wear a gown because they did not have one small enough.Mr. Brad let me borrow his big white T-shirt. I was a little nervous but it was fun. I tripped in a hole walking in the mud. This was a very special day because getting babtized showed people that I love God. And it was also special because it was on my paw paw's birthday.

When I got saved!

One night when I was 4 years old I was in my sisters room.She said that I should become a believer. So she led me to Jesus.And I said,"God I know I sin but will you come into my heart and save me?".Now I know who the real God is. I went down stairs and I told my mommy and daddy the good news and they were so happy for me.Now I want to spend my life following Jesus and telling people about Him.
