Hey readers,

We have started a unit on immagration. So we went to sugatuck center for the arts. and we got to meet the actual artecs who made all the pictures. The pictures were of things that the boarder patrol dumped becasue they were consitered letal or un useful. The sad part it that some of those itums were reminders of their family. I am intrested to see what projects we will do

Dollar a day

Hello readers!

Its a new year in 7th grade read this on some things we have done already.
Today we watched a video on some college students who went to Guatemala to live on a dollar a day. like most of the people there. I saw a lot of people who looked like they did not have enough food to eat. This is a foreign concept to us Americans who mostly have a lot of food on the table. It would have to take some nerve to leave all their food behind and go to a country that was starving. What was most meaningful to me was that one guy who was just as poor as everyone else, when he saw someone in need he gave them what they needed. From doctor bills to food and stuff. also, all the kids were just so happy even though they did not have Fortnite, TV or pizza to eat. They were happy with what little things they had. We could learn a lot from all the people in poverty.

Thanks

New school year

Dear readers,

I have started a new school year at ZCS. middle school is fun. we got new HP Chromebooks they are OK, but not as good as apples. I have had a fun start of the year. we started off with sixth-grade camp. It was so fun! I made friends with new people and swam and did kyacks. It is a cool experience. and we are working on a science project on weathering.

I hope to have a good school Year

How can I apply Matthew 5 to my own life

Introduction to the Sermon on the Mount

Now when Jesus saw the crowds, he went up on a mountainside and sat down. His disciples came to him,and he began to teach them.

The Beatitudes

He said:

“Blessed are the poor in spirit,
    for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are those who mourn,
    for they will be comforted.
Blessed are the meek,
    for they will inherit the earth.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
    for they will be filled.
Blessed are the merciful,
    for they will be shown mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart,
    for they will see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers,
    for they will be called children of God.
10 Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,
    for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

11 “Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me.12 Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

I think we need to apply this to are lives by doing one of these thing whole heartedly and follow Jesus. we want to be poor in sprit and all those things.

How can we help bring others to christ By: Joshua

Serve others, like helping your Grandpa at city on a hill. or doing something nice to someone. you can tell them about christ and tell them that thew christ if you believe an accept christ you can have eternal life. give the person a bible s that they can explore  it them selves. Invite them to BSF or church or sunday school.

Temptation

How can we avoid Temptation? We do what Jesus did. We pray and use the bible. we need to fight against satan. Use the weapons you have the bible, prayer and the spiritual weapons. What are some ways we are Tempted. Read too long, disobedients, fight with your brother or sister, lie, watch T.V. when your parents are not home, and lots more. these are all satan’s lies. Don’t listen to them. listen to the Holy sprits whisper he can help you not to do the thing you are struggling with.  Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place,15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. 

Ephesians 6:13-17

The wise men

this is from the perspective of the wize men. We wise men have seen baby Jesus we gave him are gifts. We are on are journey back. We need to escape Herod’s troops. So we are not going to the palace because we think he will kill Jesus. and he will try to kill us if we don’t tell him. We need to get to are house as fast as possible.

Trip to Mexico

Dear Readers,

We are going to Mexico in a few days. I am so excited. we get to fly on a plane and go diving. there is a big pool at the resort and a Hot tub, food bar, Drink bar and a cliff dive that goes into the pool. we might go zip lining or drive RZR’s on a Trail. It sounds like fun. honestly, I am a little scared of the plane ride. But I am sure I will get used to it. I will keep you readers updated on the pictures of the trip. Stay tuned to see the pictures. I am leaving on February 24.

The next post should be soon

What are some christian themes in the narnia books

C.S. lewis made an awesome series of books that connect to the bible. In the lion the witch and the wardrobe. Azlan dies on the stone table saving the life of Edmund. The witch wanted Edmund dead but instead killed azlan. and He roze again the next day. It connects to the bible because Jesus died on the cross when he was perfect. When we should have died on it. Jesus saved are souls from hell. Jesus roze again 3 days later.
