"The Adventures of COW"

what?  You've known about this book since the third grade? 


I met a COWard tonight through the eyes of the Lord.  


Is there a correlation between the fact that you WORSHIP Budha 


and the fact that you make politicians look like saints?



Who are you?  Why do you seek the attention of these young ones?  Is it for power, or Cower?


You had the opportunity to make this a BLUE and WHITE victory, 


YET you went out of your way to leave one team behind/ You turned your back and every parent 


witnessed this/Don't think I'm the only one who sees right through you.  


You proved to many tonight that YOU are not TRUE/ IF you don't understand what I'm saying, I'm sorry.


Only a COWard (see the book 'Adventures of COW' if you wish to make light of this) would stand 


before two leagues of children and demean a group of ten year old girls who've played their heart out 


to win a CHAMPIONSHIP game.  


In any case, I feel the TWO teams that made it this far are both winners!  That is what 


separates winners from losers; a person such as me from you; always has and always will......  


Don't despair, 


I will be around long enough to remind EACH and EVERY ONE of them that they are 


the best of the best!  

May God Be With You!  


New Testament--
Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. “Honor your father and mother” (this is the first commandment with a promise), “that it may go well with you and that you may live long in the land.” Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.
(Ephesians 6:1-4 ESV)


I was reluctant to write this.............but, then again, look at the work of my favorite writer, Emily Dickinson--This is what writers do!

      "Pelzer's Epilogue was truly amazing!"

       I finished reading the novel by David Pelzer, and boy, it was very hard to take in.  If you decide to read it you will not regret it, but put your seat belt on and be prepared for a shocking story!  I would like to thank Ty for letting me borrow this book. This novel was assigned to her English class.  At the end of the story Pelzer's Epilogue is truly amazing!  To one day reclaim his life and be able to offer such words of virtue such as "I'm so blessed," or "I learned the secret of internal motivation," as well as leaving us with words that echo "My experience gave me a different outlook on life."  Only his undying faith could compel him to deliver such uplifting monologue.  As part of my review let me say this--  *This is the perfect example of how manifestation could make you or break you.*   This is what I say to the ever growing population of those who are experiencing emotional disturbance disorder (EDD).  In other words, take your anger, your pain, and your fury, and ALLOW it to manifest into GREATNESS!  Ask yourself "what is the one thing I feel most passionate about?" and only then could you allow the love of life into your heart.  If you know for certain it could only bring you good, then do it!  If it could only bring you pain, then I say let it go!   You must devote yourself to learn about it, live it, dream it, and absolutely pray about it; and only then will it work FOR YOU and not against you!  To the many students I have met over the past eleven years, remember, before you could love another, you must first love yourself.


In Jesus's love,

Old Testament: When all these blessings and curses I have set before you come upon you and you take them to heart wherever the Lord your God disperses you among the nations, and when you and your children return to the Lord your God and obey him with all your heart and with all your soul according to everything I command you today, then the Lord your God will restore your fortunes and have compassion on you and gather you again from all the nations where he scattered you.  
Deuteronomy 30:1-3

"From Fantasy to Reality"

I'd like to recommend the novel titled, "A Child Called It," written by Dave Pelzer.  I was happy to see a student's fiction (typical of today's high school genre, vampires and such...) replaced by this tragic, yet heroic account of a person's life that most of us couldn't even begin to imagine!

Old Testament:  A prayer of an afflicted man. When he is faint and pours out his lament before the Lord.
"Hear my prayer, O Lord; let me cry for help come to you. Do not hide your face from me when I am in distress. Turn your ear to me; when I call, answer me quickly."  Psalm 102: 1-2
