I prayed for you today.
I sent you good thoughts,
surrounded you with
hope and faith and love.
I asked that you be prepared
for whatever life hands you
or whatever your going through.
I asked that your spirit be
strong and lead you and guide
you each step of the way down
every path you take.
I asked God to show you His
perfect way. I prayed for you today.

My Senior Picture

Alec wrote this in 8th grade.  It only took him about 25 minutes to come up with it.

The destruction and recreation of waves were in effect
even before God’s ability to create life.
While the ageless and powdery sand
curls between your feet.
The silky spray of mist
licks your face.
The warm breath of the sea air
rushes across your body
and your eyes, welded onto the
seamless moon lit sky.
Nothing but the sound of
crashing suds of water
and the inhalation of freshness.
This is what a dream would picture like,
but it’s reality
which only exists in
one location.



A woman is a sight of beauty
The curve of her smile
The sparkle in her eyes

The warmth of her mouth as it presses tenderly against your skin
The wetness of her treasure
The joy of her pleasure

A woman is a sight of beauty
When she is entwined in the arms of her lover
For you will see the joys of forever

Why American Veterans Should Be Honored

           

An American veteran: a person who fought or is fighting for his country with honor and passion. American Veterans should be honored because they are the ones who are brave enough to stand up for this country and to fight for it. The many wars they fought, such as World War II, helped protect this country and made it stronger. American Veterans are the people who give hope and freedom to the people who live here.

I feel that the veterans should be honored because they are the people who will influence other people to help stand for this country’s rights and freedoms. These influential people will make this country even stronger than it already is and protect it even better. An example of what we would be like if we did not honor our veterans would mean fewer people would gain interest in fighting for our rights, and soon after, we would be defeated by an invading army. Veterans are also very important to people’s lives because they could tell stories of what the world was like while they served. They influence kids and encourage them to become involved with our military.

Veterans here lived through many tough times. The veterans should feel appreciated for what they did or are doing because they are doing something that most people wouldn’t normally do, which will make us stronger. The veterans also play an even bigger part in teaching the next generation helpful insights, and we learn what kind of things could go wrong and how to be prepared for the possibility of things going terribly wrong.

Veterans are almost the same as everyday people; they have a family and a job, but the only thing that makes them different from the rest of us is that they were brave enough to stand up and do what everyday people wouldn’t dare to do. They put their lives at stake for complete strangers, even for our own lives, in order for them to be protected; these are the main reasons why American Veterans should be honored.

Alec’s school is having an award ceremony and he is going to meet the military officer whom I believe picked the winners.  Alec takes after his father when it comes to writing.  I am such a proud mother.
