Most of you missed out on our backpacking trip up the Matilija River. This is one of the falls that we jumped into, and I’m trying to create a slideown so you can see what you could have enjoyed…
FYI
I started my own blog. www.mylifeyourscreen.wordpress.com
I just wanted to do something that would keep you guys connected to my life and make a place where I could share thoughts on things. So enjoy my life on your screen.
the Gaius project
“We consistently fail to experience the fullness of enjoyment that God has for us in artistic expression because we do not understand how our pleasures relate to the pleasure to be had in God (Eccl. 2:24-25, I Tim. 6:17). Or, we want to ultimately ascribe the glory of a work to man the creature rather [...]
Finishing the Race
Today was my last day of having to do homework in high school. I’m going to say that I did feel just a little bit emotional (only a bit). I started to think if I “ran the race” with full force and never giving up at all. I stumbled many times over my high school [...]
Moving Up
As the last days of school begin to come over many of us many thoughts have come into my head. All of the authors on this blog go to a Christian school so I came to think how many of the seniors are not going to go to a Christian college. Many are going to secular [...]
Celebrities
I hate to chew over such a unpertinent topic but I believe I must voice my opinion. Officially I am over news. I am over US weekly, I am over People, I am over E-xtra, I am over any other fake news production. All we talk about is how celebrities are failing at life. Whether [...]
Paradise Lost graphic design (should count as blog)
This is a bookcover I made for my computer graphics class. It is also an homage to Paradise Lost. Left to right it is back spine cover. Enjoy
Experience of Blogging
This entire experience of blogging for me has been a difficult one. I am not an argumentative person. I hate to debate and argue with people. I’m just not into it. So to be made to express my opinion about the world has been torture for me. I have my own opinions, but I [...]
In The World
Scripture encourages us to be in the world, but not of the world. But because we have so much homework assigned we can’t even be in the world. We never get a chance. We are trapped in our rooms doing homework.
Which is it? All, or Nothing?
When did we become so stupidly selfish? When did we attain infinite knowledge of what we deserve? These questions convict be because I act as if I have no problems. What do I need God for? He can help me with these issues while I deal with my other issues on my own, right? [...]
Senioritis
I know that we all have the worst cases of this disease right now since we are so close to the freedom that is being offered to us through college. We are all longing to cast aside the chains of our grueling and never ending classes. However, as our days of blissful independence [...]
Necessary Encouragement
Human beings are curious creatures. It’s a rather amazing thing considering that mere words, a form of communication, can elevate or destroy the confidence of a person. At times it may seem that the will to carry on can be just as difficult a task as the scaling of a mountain.
Approaching the end of my highschool career I [...]

Call to Arms/Want to Help?
I’m currently engaged in debate with fitnessfortheoccasion right now, and one of our current topics is whether religion has any place in government. This blog is not so much to give my own opinion as it is to see what you guys have to say. Do you believe that separation of church and state is [...]
My hopes…
I am home sick from school with a sinus infection. I thought all I would do is play massive amounts of video games. However I have been blogging since I got up. I started a abortion question with Fitnessfortheoccasion. Now I thought I knew it all. Nandor gave me a very solid foundation. However even though, [...]
The Festering Wound
You know what… no gradual build up. Not today.
Why is it that some sins seem more accepted than others. Why do some struggles have to be hidden away and destined to be battled simply by one poor soul?
For the active members of this blog, we know the idea of an elephant in the room. I [...]
Who’s Up for a Duel?
As I’m sure many of you already know, some of our blogs have recently been called into question by someone with very different opinions than our own. That person is by all means entitled to their own opinion, and I’m actually quite glad he came to our site to express said opinions. Some good questions have been asked, and I think [...]
Devils Advocate?!?
Well today was great, scary, frustrating, tiring, and all together interesting. However there was one thing that really hit home. During English today the basic arguments started. Someone says a very fluffy emotional comment about spirituality and I decide to counter it with some crazy atheist logic just for kicks and giggles. Of course [...]
Listen
I have seen many heartbreaking things, but I was not ready for this most recent sight. Recently I was put in charge of the talent show, and it was during rehearsals that I saw this heartbreak. One of the performances was a dance to the song “Listen” by a young girl with loads of [...]
Do Not Forget
With spring break approaching, many students have the opportunity to travel, have a fun time, and party; but is that really why we celebrate this week. Some of us might go to the beach and some of us might go on vacation. We can all have a fun time in the sun, but we have [...]
Finding Comfort
Have you ever noticed that when things are going completely wrong in our lives we still tend to shy away from turning toward God? This past week was extremely stressful for me, and yet I did not once ask for God to keep me sane or to make sure that everything went well. I [...]
On Arrogance and Monsters
“Writing is the act of saying I, of imposing oneself upon other people, of saying listen to me, see it my way, change your mind” – Joan Didion (emphasis added)
There is a supreme arrogance to be found in writing one’s opinion, which is why I find Ms. Didion’s quote so very fitting for this particular blog. [...]
Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star…
If you’ve ever listened to Handel’s Messiah, you know the emotional finale of the “Hallelujah Chorus.” Remember for a moment, the emotion and anticipation after more than an hour of intense musical experience, then recall the feeling as the choir and the orchestra feverishly crescendo to the peak of the rich and magnificent climax, but [...]
Simple yet Intriguing
http://www.charactercounts.org/knxwk505.htm#1
There is a sublime beauty to be found in simplicity. A few days ago, I read a short little article entitled “The Paradoxical Commandments” written by a man named Michael Josephson. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the name, Michael Josephson is the author of a very popular commentary called “CHARACTER COUNTS!”. [...]
Mark Your Calendars – We Are Seeing This
J.B. is a play in verse, written by Archibald MacLeish and published in 1958 in response to the horrors the author saw during two world wars, including the Holocaust and the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and is based on the Book of Job from the Old Testament. MacLeish explores how modern people can retain [...]
Prililege
Once again I have the privilege of being the first to post. And with that I take the liberty of saying something.
I understand that some may just see this as yet another way for Bed to give us more work. Let us not just look at it in that sense. We are a prilileged class. [...]
