Talents

God has gifted each of us with unique talents and abilities. What are some of your talents and gifts that He has given to you? How do you use them?

Natural Highs

During Red Ribbon Week, we had the opportunity to listen to a speaker at the PAC who talked about having "natural highs" in life instead of having highs from drugs and alcohol. His example was to share the skit about hobbies where we were to pretend that the students' hobbies were kissing. We all thought it was a pretty funny skit, but in real life our "natural highs" do not usually come from laughing about kissing. What are some of your "natural highs" in life? What really makes you laugh or smile a lot?

Rhyme Time

Use this blog as an opportunity to play around with words and rhyming. Either create your own poem that has some element of rhyme in it or create at least 10 different phrases that rhyme.

There once was a toad who carried an enormous load.
When I was at the tender age of seven, I dreamed of a magical place called Heaven.
(Examples of phrases)


One day, in a vision, I saw goat
Ordinary? No, for it was in a boat.
Dangling over the side was a pole,
Winding itself into a deep hole.
My eyes were shocked to see deep down,
For under the water lived a mad clown.
Swimming amongst the clown were giant crabs,
their skin full of torturous scabs.
Crabs and a goat and a clown, could it be?
Why do such ridiculous things happen to me?
I looked up to see a fish that was leaping,
and I soon realized, I was only sleeping.
(Example of a poem)

Acrostic Poem

Create an acrostic poem using your first and last name. Each letter can correspond with one word or a word plus a few words after it. See below for an example:

Marvelously
Intrigued by the
Sayings of
Sixth grade children

Meanwhile
Intensely busy
Losing sleep while
Looking for
Extraordinary things
Revealed by God!

Challenges

What is one goal that you would like to accomplish in your life? It can be something that you could accomplish in a few days or it could be something that may take years to achieve. For example, you may say, "Someday, I would like to be a brain surgeon," or you may say, "I would like to score three goals in my soccer games this year." Describe your goal below!

Iron Man

In Chapel on Friday, Pastor Raasch showed us the video about the father and son who participated in the Iron Man triathalon together. While the father pulled, pushed and carried his disabled son along, he said that his son was really the one running the race. It was a pretty amazing story. Talk about your feelings after seeing the video clip. Did it inspire you? Were you amazed? Did it make your challenges in life seem smaller? Did it remind you that God will carry you through all of life's hardships? Share your thoughts!

Nationality

If you could be from any other country besides the United States of America, where would you be from and why?

Hot or Cold?

Would you rather be stranded in the Arctic or in a Desert? Considering the location, what one survival tool (THAT COULD FIT IN A BACKPACK)would be the most beneficial?
