LUKE 10:27, Since 4th Grade

I have always been a very active member of my church. I was put in Vacation Bible school the first moment that I was old enough to register. My parents taught my Logos class and I did logos from elementary to jr. high. I went to all of the summer and winter camps and I considered myself a champ for Christ.

In 4th grade, the most exciting part of being in logos bible camp, was the fact that we got to paint a tile with our favorite Bible verese some where on it. I was really big into art, so this meant everything to me.

The lesson that week was on Luke 10:27. I painted a bright sunset on the tile and wrote Luke 10:27 in cursive on it. I was so excited to present it to my parents. "Then the man answered, 'Love the Lord your God, with all of your strength, with all of your heart, with all of your soul and all of your mind. And love thy neighbor as you would yourself.'"

I have since tried to live my life by that verse, treating others the way that I would want to be treated. And fully committing my love to God in every area of my life.

The little tile that I created still is displayed proudly in my parent's kitchen, it is a constant reminder to me and my family. And although it is washed out now and the colors are not as bright as it once was, it stands as bright as ever on some of my darkest days.

The Price of a Puppy

So currently I am in the market for a puppy. My roommates and I all decided that it was time to invest in a lifelong friend. So today was the first day of our search. We need the following in order for this to work with our living situation: Completely silent, Potty trained, neutered, straight, well-kept, likes to go shopping, doesn't mind hanging out in a purse for a few hours, likes minorities, knows when it's time for homework and time for play. And it must play hard to get. 

These simple tasks are more than easy to come by, I mean honestly, it's all I ask for. It's not that hard. I was sitting around my living room, deciding where I could obtain this perfect breed. It all came down to my favorite movie of 2009, or was it 2008? Any who, it all came down to my obsession with the puppy from Beverly Hills Chihuahua. 

So after being set on the breed, I went on a search. But every white chihuahua in the state of California ranged from $800-$1500!! A price that is uncalled for in any college student's bank. My man friend then suggested the penny saver. After all 5 of us roommates had a good laugh at him, I eventually decided to give it a try. After searching for a few minutes on the penny saver's website, I came across affordable puppies in this area. So tomorrow I am going to pick out my first real baby puppy!!! I can't wait!!!
