Foto Friday -- mismatch night

I'm going to start something called a "Foto Friday"

Ummm... How to explain my lack of matching...

It was mismatch night at AWANA! (see, my classmates are just as bad!)

Yes, those are socks in my hair. I actually also had hairbows clipped to my shoes, but they don't show up in this picture. My shoes didn't match either.

Oh, and I didn't destroy those shirts (one was my uniform) I merely folded them in half in on themselves.

I also had half my hair in a pony, the other in a braid.

That hat had a braid instead of a pompom.

Can we say a little mixed up?

Rocket Vs. Shuttles

I'm studying space in school. This includes how we get to space. In the past, there have been two main way we have done that, the rocket and the space shuttle.

The rocket's main usefulness, according to this link, http://www.brighthub.com/science/space/articles/3348.aspx is that they can more safely reenter earth's atmosphere. In order for the shuttle to reenter, it must be turned at an awkward angle, and it still encounters temps much higher than the rocket.

This doesn't mean that the shuttle doesn't have its perks. While they are both sent into space much the same way, the shuttle is more once its there, and is more easily landed once its back in earth's atmosphere, as it can be landed at an airport, and the rocket is most often landed in the middle of an ocean.

The shuttle is what NASA has been using for quite some while, but we began with rockets. It looks like the rocket is going to have a resurrection, from the link I put up there.

Down in a Manger

(sung to tune of "Up on a Housetop")

Down in a Manger in Bethlehem
Do you hear the angel's hymn?
There is a Baby born today
His name is Jesus, hip, hip, hooray!

Chorus:
Oh, oh, oh, who might have known
Oh, oh, oh, who might have known.
That this little boy would die on a cross
Just to save a world that's lost

Fist come the shepherds who heard the song
Now they start to sing along
There they stand, their eyes are wide.
Jesus Christ be glorified.

Repeat Chorus

Next come the Wise Men from afar
Following the heavenly star
With gold, frankincense, and myrrh
Jesus Christ they bow before

Repeat Chorus

Jesus Christ is Coming Again

(tune "Santa Clause is Coming to Town")


You better watch out
Believe and not lie
You better not doubt
I'm telling you why
Jesus Christ is coming again

He sees you when you're sleeping
He knows when you're awake
He knows when you've been bad or good
So believe for Jesus' sake

He's making a list
Checking it Twice
Gonna find out who's
In the Lamb's Book of Life
Jesus Christ is coming again.

Thankful Thursday

I have decided to do thankful Thursdays.

I didn't, however, know what I was going to write about today until about fifteen minutes ago when one of my younger cousins ran in the house with the exclamation of "Kendra, your package is here!"

I didn't know I was getting a package.

Let me back up here. A few months ago, I entered a Haiku contest, on a site called http://thedeliberateagrarian.blogspot.com/. After it finished, I didn't look very hard at it, and didn't think I won.

Actually, I did.

I won first place in the teen category. My prize was a set of two Pie Irons. They're for cooking sandwiches and other things over a campfire.

I'm thankful for them. They are so cool!!

Oh, and I just learned that today is Friday.

Well, I'll have to get on a better schedule.

Anyways, here's the winning haiku

I'll do peppers next
