Hello once again from the panhandle of Texas. Today has been a good day so far and it looks like it is going to be a wonderful day outside.

Finally it looks like President Bush is doing something about our border control. As you can read on this link that Bush met with the Mexican President and talked about border control. http://www.wpherald.com/storyview.php?StoryID=20060301-094941-3771r I really hope this will take care of the problem. I know Presedent Bush is catching a lot of flak about this issue and he is forced to do something about it. Well that is all I have to say today so love, peace, and soul.

This here is my tennis racket that I played with today, and here are the movies that I told you about. I might not have told you about Hondo but it is a good movie too. Anyways, I thought that they might make good pictures

Well today is a good day, kind of like yesterday, but a little windier.

Today I went and played tennis with some other homeschoolers. There is a tennis center right on the park where I live by and my mom went and checked it out. She found out that on Thursdays they have a homeschool tennis group class. So I went and I really enjoyed it. The coach there is from Russia and his name is Jan but sounds like Yan. He is a professional tennis player and he is really good. Now there are two sports that I need to work at. Tennis and soccer, but since this class was the beginners class, I was not the worst tennis player. I was not the best though, and I will be the first to admit it. This is very hard for me to tell ya'll, but I did get beat by a girl today. I am taking this very hard because I know that I have never been beaten by a girl at any sport before and I hope never again. The important thing was that I really had a fun time and met my first homeschool kids here.

I had a good birthday last night. We went out to eat at Calico County, which was very good. Jenny and Corbin came and ate with us and then we came back and ate some of my cake. It was German chocolate, which is my favorite and my mom really outdid herself on it.

Today has been a pretty good day and the wind has calmed down considerably since yesterday. Today is also a good day because it is my birthday. That is right March 29 is my birthday. Thank you Aunt Mary for remembering. It seems though that one of my sisters might have forgotten about my birthday. This sister has not called to wish me a happy birthday. That is okay Jocelyne I forgive you. I think we are going out to eat tonight at a nice restaurant. I hope they are not using this as an excuse to throw me a surprise party, because I will be on the lookout if you are. The conspirators can know that I will be like a cat always on the lookout.

Nothing has really been going on these past few days. Although I have found the sport that I can use some work on. That sport is soccer. That is right soccer. I always liked soccer but you can only be on a soccer team if you were about seven and I only played once. When I got up here I noticed a lot of kids playing soccer and I went and bought a soccer ball and have been practicing. The one problem that I have with soccer is that I can not kick the ball into the goal that good. With a sport like soccer the whole game revolves around the goal so I can be considered a pretty bad soccer player.

Anyways I do not guess that anyone has watched any of the John Wayne movies I suggested?
Well that is it for me and as always love, peace, and soul.

Today the sun is shining but the wind is blowing really hard. When the wind blows it just kind of ruins the day. Here in the Panhandle of Texas the wind blows extra hard, and you never get used to it.

I had not known that John Wayne had made so many movies as I found out after looking at Aunt Mary's link. I have not seen near that many John Wayne movies but I have seen some really good ones. Probably my favorite John Wayne movie so far would be Chisum. This movie is about John Chisum (John Wayne) as a wealthy land owner in New Mexico, and a greedy man named Morgan who wants to own everything in town. The movie has some known western men in it like Billy the Kid, and Pat Garret. These guys are helping Chisum while Morgan is trying to kill everyone that helps them. The movie goes on like this and ends with a big gun fight, and a fist fight between Morgan and Chisum. Morgan and Chisum end up falling off of a building and Morgan lands on a bull's horns and is killed. I really liked this movie because it really showed good prvailing over evil. And the guy Morgan was really bad. I also like the following movies: The Sons of Katie Elder, The Comancheros, and Mclintock. I have also heard that the movie Cowboys is really good. Well someone who has seen these movies let me know what you thought.

It is a beautiful day here in Texas, with the sun shining and a nice cool breeze.

Well, I have a new line of customers here like I did back there. Because on Friday my mom made up some little flyers for me to pass out to the neighbors on my street. These flyers just told them my address and my phone number and the jobs I can do. Most of the people on my street are older people and I think will need me to do some things. Today I got a call and a lady from another street asked if I could come by and take out some trash. I guess one of the ladys on this street told her about me. So I went over there and all she wanted me to do was to take out a barrel of trash. When I got back from taking out the trash she paid me five dollars. It took me about twenty seconds to take out the trash and she paid me five dollars. Now I am glad that my mom made me go up and down the street handing those sheets out to people because now I realize that there is money to be made here on this street.

I watched some more John Wayne movies this weekend. For some reason I just really like Big John and all of the movies he made. My homework assignment for ya'll tonight is to rent some John Wayne movies and watch them and tell me what ya'll think.

This morning started off with a little bit of snow. Not much snow just a little. Most of it is melted by now. It has been really cold these past few days and I hope it will warm back up soon.

This past week Dallas got some good news, bad news in some peoples opinion. This news was that Terrell Owens is going to play for the Dallas Cowboys. Those of you who do not know who Terrell Owens is here is some information.http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/5424172. What I think about Terrell Owens is that he is a great football player. His attitude is very bad, but the experience that he had with the Eagles is a good incentive not to do it again. Bill Parcels ( the Cowboys head coach) should be a very good influence on him. He has handled players with attitude problems before and has turned them around considerably. Terrell is such a good player that almost every team in the NFL would have been able to overlook what he did in Philedelphia. The Cowboys is a team that needs to rebuild and become like they were ten or eleven years ago. At the first sign of trouble from him I think they should immediately fire him or whatever they can do so he does not disrupt the team. Well that is it for me tell me what you think.

I am sorry to say this Jocelyne, but just taking one look at my toilet and anyone can see whose the better one is.

Well I had a pretty good day today. Except for a close call this morning. Let me explain. Yesterday I was sitting at my desk and accidentally knocked over some papers into my trash can. It made a really loud noise and I could not figure out why. So I went on with my day and took out the trash. This morning as I was getting ready to start school I could not find my Life Management DVD anywhere. I searched and searched and could not find it. Then I remembere yesterday and the noise and I knew where it was. In the dumpster. I run out to the dumpster in my longjohns and start searching through the trash. As I was searching the trash picker upper man turns the corner to come down my alley. I am searching and searching through this dumpster and I can not find it. By this time I am searching frantically because I know if I do not find it I am going to be in big trouble. Finally as I move an old newspaper out of the way I find it and save it from being captured by the trash man, who by this time is only a few minutes away. Well that is it for me so love, peace, and soul.

Man the wind is really blowing hard here plus a little snow is mixed in with it. It is really cold and the snow is kind of hard, or maybe it is because the wind is blowing so hard but it kind of smarts when it hits you. I would know this because I had to go take out the trash in it. Thanks Mom.

Yesterday I went and watched the Harlem Globetrotters play. I went with one of my friends and had a alright time. It was not as cool as I had thought it would be. The team they played did not even try to win, and I think they were supposed to not win to make the Globetrotters look good. They were good but I would have liked to see the team try their hardest and then see how the game would have came out.

Well as ya'll already know, at the library that I go to you can rent movies, so I have been renting a lot of older western movies. These movies compared graphically with the movies of today do not compare at all. But when it comes to having a great story line and having a good life lesson in them, these movies are better. This is just my opinion, but I think today's actors and movie makers are just in it to make money. Movie makers now do not care about teaching people good lessons. They are just worried about making money. Most movies that come out now are rated PG-13 or R because these are the movies that are selling and making them money. People now-a-days do not care about what they are watching. They do not care what these movies are doing to their minds and what it is doing to them spiritually. Well that is it for me.

These pictures are the pictures of my home. I know my mom put pictures of the house on her blog but I wanted to put pictures up of it furnished. These first pictures are of course the bathroom and toilet. With the toilet paper almost all gone. Moving on now we see the living room, kitchen, and last but not least my bedroom. If you look closely under my bed you will see a red something under my bed. That is a chair, yes a chair we got the chair so I could sit on it and watch TV or something. The chair turns out not to work very well so it is under my bed for uses in other areas. Well that is it for me so love, peace, and soul.

War, terrorism, and mass killings, all of these things have happened at one time or another and are supposedly caused by man. But is this really true? Yes, man is doing what he wants to do, but God is the supreme being. Man is the creation of God, and we are all really just puppets in God's master plan. Man does not cause war, or terrorism, or mass killings, he is used to start these things and these things bring thousands of deaths. You cannot help but wonder, how can God do these things. How can this loving God kill thousands of people, and then it hits you, to punish them of course. When the hurricane on New Orleans happened I would bet that at one time everyone had thought that maybe it was a punishment. I believe that in New Orleans God was dishing out his judgement and punishment. People who do not believe this tell me the reason. They, like everyone else on this earth deserve punishment and it just so happened that it was Gods plan that it happened to them. Some of those people that died went to heaven and others went to hell. God used it to bring his people to heaven and those of them that were not his people, to hell. All of these things are of and by God, true God uses men, but we are really just puppets in Gods plan.

Hello out there. This is my first blog on my new computer. I really like it. How do ya'll like it? This is also another first. Do any of ya'll have a guess? This is the first blog in my new house. Pretty cool huh.

Well when I got back from my grandmas on Sunday I spent the rest of the time unpacking my stuff and putting it in strategic places around my room. I like the house pretty good, and since I have never lived anywhere else I think it measures up to all of my expectations.

Yesterday my mom and I were walking across the park right next to our house and found a cell phone. It was the cell phone of a girl and I guess she must have dropped it when she was there. We we got home my mom called the "Dad" number on the phone and was able to reach the parents and sometime they will be coming by to get it. Well that is about it for me so love, peace, and soul.

We have had really good days this past week. Lots of sunshine, and warm weather. I actually think my legs are starting to get a little darker already. Which is very good because my legs got pretty white during the winter.

I had a pretty good day yesterday. It was a very nice outside and my paper route went fine. We are supposed to be getting rain on Friday, and it looks like that might come true because it started getting really cloudy yesterday evening. Today as I look out of the window it is still really cloudy, and not as much sunshine like we have been having.

Today I will probably go to the library, or go to this place where you can play games and stuff. It is called 'The Fall Out Shelter,' and it is kind of a church-sponsored thing, but anyone can go. You can do all sorts of stuff there like play pool or video games, and they serve lots of cheap food there. You can get a pretty good sized ice cream sunday for only a dollar.

Tomorrow we will go to the homeschool groups, and I always have a pretty good time there. Then on Saturday I am going to go meet my grandma and grandpa and go to their house for a while. I will be staying for a week all the way through their anniversary party. They are having it catered so there will be lots of good food there. Actually as I think about the food, it will probably be good, but I am so used to my mom's cooking that their food may not even compare. She is such a good cook, and a very good baker. Well that is it for me so love, peace, and soul.
