Tornado Victims Help

So, a few posts back, there was a link to helping tornado victims. I've been wanting to do something about it for a while, but I couldn't think of anything to do. Then, Jayden and I came up with an idea.
On April 13-14 (Friday-Saturday), Jayden and I will be having a garage sale. We are taking all donations (things to sell at the yard sale). All proceeds will then be donated to the tornado victims. We are so exited!! Also, we are using it to pass off our Good Works in our Personal Progress books. If all goes well, it will be super fun!
If you live close to us, and want more info, just let us know. We would be happy to help! Just comment on this post, post on our facebook wall (the link is on the left side of the screen, were it will always be...I think), or even send us a message on facebook, if you want it to be more private. Thanks for reading our blog!!

Scriptures vs. Phones

I found this on a blog called www.murrayandmathews.blogspot.com. I thought it was kind of interesting, how they compared the two.

I wonder what would happen if we treated our
scriptures like we treat our cell phones?
What if we carried them around in our purses or
pockets?
What if we turned back to go get them if we
forgot them?
What if we flipped through them several times a
day?
What if we used them to receive messages from
the text?
What if we treated them like we couldn’t live
without them?
What if we gave them to kids as gifts?
What if we used them as we traveled?
What if we used them as a standard part of our
lives AND for emergencies?
Oh, and one more thing. Unlike our cell phones,
we really don’t have to worry about our scriptures being disconnected because
Christ already paid the bill…

Tornados


Well, I'm sure most of you have heard about the tornadoes in Indiana, and Kentucky. For those of you who haven't, some places were hit really hard. It missed us thankfully, but many houses were torn down, some people were hurt, and it was so bad that it even demolished an entire high school! (the picture is of school after the tornado hit)Now the teens there are trying to raise enough money to have a senior prom. I wasn't sure how I could help, so this is the best that I could come up with for right now. If and of you are willing, it would be amazing if you could donate money, clothes, help, food, or even something simple but almost entirely necessary, like toilet paper or toothpaste. I'm sure it would be very much appreciated. Below is a link with all different links to websites forf helping the tornado victims. Please help in some way. It would mean a whole lot.

Arise


So THIS is the song I was talking about. It is one of my favorite songs. I really hope you guys like it!

A Story of Rising Above the Influence


This isn't the song that I was talking about (that will probably come next), but the chick's story seemed really inspiring to me, so I felt the need to post it on here. This girl is really talented, so if you have time, you should check her other videos out!

Mix Up

Sorry About the mix up. I messed up the name of that video, it isn't called Hold Our Torches High. Well, there is, but it isn't on YOUTUBE. So I will post the video that I was thinking about later.

Service

So every month we, our families and our friends go volunteer at a place called Feeding America, and work from 1-3 hours. It may seem really boring and/or unnecessary to do service projects, help others, or just acknowledge that someone exists. But really, it can be a lot of fun, and can get you to feel super happy. Like when we go to Feeding America, it is really fun for us. It isn't hard work at all, so while we work, we can talk all we want, and sometimes we make up games to help the time go by. We work on the Backpack Program, where we fill bags with food for kids that need it. So we like to race to see who can go down the line the fastest. Not to mention the fun we have when we are done, and we all go out for icecream at Baskin Robins.
I guess what I'm trying to say, is that service is a good thing, for everyone.
So I dare you, my good readers, to do a random act of service each day, for one week. It could be helping with the cooking and cleaning, volunteering your time and effort somewhere, or just making an effort to be nice to people you know, and those you don't.
After this one week, I ask you to report back here, on this post. Comment on how you feel, what you did, anything really.
Hope you guys write! Later!
