Happy Halloween, Guys. :)

So this is my Halloween for this year. Don't laugh too hard. ;)
Happy Halloween guys! :D

Sometimes

Sometimes I get really frustrated with myself. Right now is one of those times.
Right now is one of those times where I just feel like I can't do anything right. I feel like my friendships are going to all crumble beneath me and I'm going to be back in the place where I was a long time ago. A place with no friends and no hope. And even though I speak of hope and how it is always there, I don't always believe that. Sometimes I don't. Sometimes I feel like I walk on a tightrope, and that tightrope is life, and I'm trying to juggle my interests while staying balanced on that fragile thing that we call life. And each time an interest is thrown up, I have to consider whether or not I am capable of catching it when it comes down and still handle balancing on the tightrope of life.
And sometimes I have to let that interest fall, and that hurts so bad. Because I really do, I want to keep all of my interests and my dreams up in the air, because I love it - I love life. And each time I drop an interest I promise myself that I'll pick it up later once I can handle it - once I'm good enough to handle it. But sometimes I don't. And though I've never fallen from the tight rope, I almost jumped once. And though I have friends and family who are walking their tight ropes beside me, and who are so kind and wonderful to me, sometimes I want to walk alone. And sometimes other people ask me so fervently to help them stay balanced, and I can't help them all at once. And that hurts me. And although I've never seen another person fall, I've seen some of them come awfully close.
I guess that what I'm trying to say is that sometimes I just can't give anymore, because if I did, I would run out of me. And once I'm gone, I can't come back.

Give Said the Little Stream

I think that the seemingly most insignificant things are often more significant than meets the eye, and that many profound things can be learned from the simplest of messages.

There is one message that I've recently found a deeper meaning in specifically. It comes from the Children's Songbook, (Found here.) The song's name is Give, Said the Little Stream. It goes like this: (Listen to either video as you read the lyrics.)

1. "Give," said the little stream,
"Give, oh! give, give, oh! give."
"Give," said the little stream,
As it hurried down the hill;
"I'm small, I know, but wherever I go   
The fields grow greener still."

(Chorus)
Singing, singing all the day,

"Give away, oh! give away."
Singing, singing all the day,
"Give, oh! give away."

2. "Give," said the little rain,

"Give, oh! give, give, oh! give."
"Give," said the little rain,
As it fell upon the flow'rs;
"I'll raise their drooping heads again,"
As it fell upon the flow'rs.

3. Give, then, as Jesus gives,

Give, oh! give, give, oh! give.
Give, then, as Jesus gives;
There is something all can give.
Do as the streams and blossoms do:
For God and others live.

Isn't that a wonderful message? It's my new life motto, I've decided. And, I hope I can follow it's message. If I do, I know I will change the world. One "field" at a time.

"I'm small, I know, but wherever I go the fields grow greener still..."

Another Side to Mr. Obama

My friends, a lot of hate is directed towards President Obama. I do not think that he deserves hate, but I also disagree with almost everything he does and says, not to mention that he is a liar and a fraud.
Having said that, he is the President of the United States of America and therefore deserves all due respect that comes with that office. It is the duty of the American people to support him - not necessarily his beliefs or his policies, but support him as the president of the United States of America. If we the American people don't like him, we must take the proper steps to remove him from office lawfully. Even though he plays dirty sometimes by doing things like lying and cheating, we the American people are better than that and must abide by the laws in place, regardless of how much we don't like them.
There is a side of Mr. Obama that I hadn't seen before today though. The side of Obama that is gentle and caring. I don't know, maybe it's all an act, but I felt like this was genuine. All of his other talk of caring about the American people I have a hard time believing. He does nothing to show that he really, sincerely cares about the people like he says he does. Instead he forces things like the Affordable Care Act down their throats. But this time, I think he cared. It was very one on one and personal with a young boy that makes my day every time he uploads a video to youtube. Kid President was invited to the White House and met the president. Take a look for yourself, and maybe reevaluate your thoughts on how you judge other people.

Hello Sunshine :)

My friends, life is so good. :) I feel like I can't contain my soul. It's bursting at the seams to get out of here and find a place that can contain more happiness than my little frame can. Maybe if I can contain it long enough it will stretch out my frame a little. That would be nice. :D
Anyways, because I'm so happy, I feel like spreading joy. Here are some things that make me happy. :)
#1
Sunshine
Oh, my friends, I love sunshine. It expresses without words how I feel right now better than I can express it in any way I know of. It's just... So beautiful in it's own happy little way.

Music
There are days when I don't feel like sunshine. Days where I just want to... Well, days where I don't want to do anything. Days where I just feel empty. But music lifts me up. It speaks to my soul better than I can, and tells it to be happy. Here is some music that makes me happy. :)

My Family

A few days ago my family got family pictures taken. Here is my lovely family, all 9 of us. :)

So anyways, those are some things that make me happy. :)
What makes you happy?

Government Shutdown or Government Crack Down?

My friends, I am tired of stories like this. Since the Republicans in congress refuse to raise the debt ceiling and vote to fund The Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) the government of the United States of America is in partial shutdown.
Hallelujah!
God bless those politicians who stay strong in the truth.
I'm not one for anarchy, but this partial government shutdown is probably one of the best things ever to happen to America. Maybe the people will finally realize how much government there is that is not necessary. But here's on thing I don't get.
What's the deal with the government closing down the national parks and monuments? It sounds to me more like a government crack down than a government shut down. If those parts of the government are really shut down, what sort of jurisdiction do they have to do anything at all with these monuments and parks? Truthfully, none. If a part of the government is shut down that means that it has no authority whatsoever to do anything because it no longer lives, so with what authority are they closing parks and monuments? I don't know, I don't have an answer. But it's something to think about anyways.
Stay strong in the faith and deeply rooted in correct principles, and we won't have this problem. One day it will all be well, and if it isn't at least know this.
All is well in Zion.
