So there's the theme for tonight and welcome to another amazing and entertaining entry!!!!!

WOW! What a week this has been. So many ridiculous and almost cool things have happened in just one week!!

First off, I just finished making out my routine for the Patriot Idol show on Thursday!!!!! I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!

We got our exam grades back this week at Mann and there were many ups and downs among the students. I believe most of them were positive! I did pretty well on them, anyway!!!

The most exciting grade this week was our Myth Project in World History. We made a myth video entitled "The Great Myth" and believe me it was GREAT! We got a 98 on it and it was quoted to be "THE BEST IN THE CLASS!" YESSSS!!!! I loved making this film and everyone enjoyed watching it!!!!!!

But, there was, also, a downside to this week. DRUGS. And no Im not taking drugs, that's just the "HOT" topic at our school right now, it seems. It's wrong in my opinion and no one should do it. EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT'S WRONG MORALLY AND PHYSICALLY!!!!!!!! But yes it is still the big topic in our high school. I am trying to speak out, but I need YOU to help. Leave a comment below and tell our student body how WRONG this is and that it needs to STOP NOW!!!!!!!!

Love You All In Christ,

Hello everyone and welcome to another entry of "The Amazing Christian L."

A GOOD NOTE.....

MANN BEAT TR 68-52 TONIGHT IN ANOTHER VARSITY BASKETBALL GAME! WAY TO GOT PATRIOTS.

Now on to the unpleasantries......

Let's say Im not very happy with what has been going on this week. It's made me extremely upset, but Im trying to get through all of it in a nice way.

Mainly what I am talking about tonight is all the rumors that have spread throughout our high school about me. Some are good and some are just plain awful.

Here's one that is getting on my nerves the most..............

People are saying "I am too pompous, enough to the point that I do not care for others and that I am an extremely selfish and ungrateful person."

Here is my attacking plan to that UGLY statement.................

"Yes, sometimes I do things that go over my head. Yes, sometimes I get too caught up in myself. But, every human person goes through one personal trial or another. If you lived a life without trial, you would not have lived a life at all. Meaning, If you don't do something out of the ordinary once in a while, that your life will always be dull and plain. This is one of the reasons a danced at the pep rally a few months ago. It was so that my life wouldn't be something dull anymore. But, I guess that doesn't seem to work for me at the moment. Risks can come with benefits and sometimes they can carry an extremely heavy burden for the rest of your life. This is what the effect of the pep rally has on me. It was wonderful but I am going to have to carry a lot of Spirit Week 05 baggage for the rest of my life. I love it and I, also, HATE IT. It was for a good cause and I know that it was the right thing to do in the end. I should have known better. Taking risks are important. Rumors come along with them. Either being good and bad you HAVE to stand up for what you believe in, even when others believe it is a falsehood. As we look onto the upcoming MLK Day, let us not forget the trials Mr. King went through to prove his point that "All Men Are Created Equal." That is not my statement, but one extremely similar to it. Although we are great sinners we can all always do something great, unimaginable and memorable for our community. I hope that those who spread rumors now will stop and think about who's right and who's wrong through this message of hope and truth.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Prayer Of The Day:

Dear Lord,
Please help me, again, this week in all of my trials of Right and Wrong. I need your strength this week to bring your light and life into my world! Please forgive those who are spreading the rumors and show them a way towards the Truth and the Light!

I Ask This Through Christ My Lord,
Amen.

Dear Lord,

Thank you for blessing us with a brand new year to start over and make the best of our lives. I pray that many people's dreams come true this year through hard work and prayer. I pray that everyone keeps their New Year's resolutions. I hope that they put "Getting Closer To God" as their number one resolution this year. I pray for people relationships that God may try to keep them together through love and forgiveness in the good and bad times. I pray that everyone has an AWESOME New Year's this year.

I Ask This Through Christ My Lord,
Amen.
