New Poll!!!!!!!!!!!
GET READY FOR A NEW POLL!!!!!!!!!
The next poll is
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE NARNIA CHARACTER?
The contestants are:
Peter
Susan
Edmund
Lucy
Mr. Beaver
Mrs. Beaver
Mr. Tumnus
The Fox

All you have to do is post a comment telling me what your favorite character is, out of all these characters. Some of you may be wondering why I did not put Aslan on there. The reason is that nearly everyone will vote for Aslan. If you do not like that idea, post a comment and I might add him.
ATTENTION: You can still vote on your favorite season, right up until midnight tonight. Then the contest ends, and this one starts. I will post the results tomorrow.
I still need ideas on grandma names. Keep those comments coming!!!

Alternate "Grandma" names
Hey I just have to ask a question: One of my distant relatives is going to be a grandmother for the first time. She doesn't want to be called Grandma, and they asked us to think of names for the grand baby to call her. Here are the names we already suggested:
Nana
Aunt Betsy

Have any ideas? Post a comment.
b4n,
Kylie

A story and Smilies

Thursday, October 12, 2006 0
A story and Smilies
My mom said I should post this story I wrote for school. It is based on Acts 16 and it takes place when Paul and Silas are in jail. It's called Marcus the Rat in Jail.

---

Hey, how are ya. I'm a rat. Whoa, don't get too excited! I'm a good rat, at least, I think so. My name's Marcus. I guess you could say I'm a bachelor. I'm a bachelor who lives in a jail. You know, that's pretty good accommodations for an old rat like me, since most of the inns and homes are taken. So, I live in a jail, and nothing really exciting really happens here... well, except for one thing, a long time ago...ah, let's see...

Well, I remember wakin' up one mornin' to the clankin' of the jailers keys and the bangin' of cell doors. Y'see, I'm in the deepest part of the jail, the part reserved for the worst criminals. I'm thinkin', "whoa, what's goin' on here?" Then the jailer Joe, and a big burly guard named Bart came around the corner with two puny men, not the sort at all who usually come back here. After the jailer left, I stayed awake to see why these guys were in there.

"Paul?" says one man.

"Hmmm," says the other.

"Do you think there are rats in here?"

Hmph, I laugh, you should see the other cells. In my opinion, you're lucky.

Paul didn't answer that question, but instead said, "Silas, let's pray."

I heard chains clink and someone scooting across the rough clay floor. A moment later, Paul's voice broke through the darkness.

"Father God, you know that we're here and that we didn't do anything wrong by driving the demon out of that girl who told fortunes. Please help us and if possible, help us to escape, in your name, Amen."

I knew who that girl was. She was Elza, and she was a doozy. She had an unusual power to tell peoples fortunes, and her owners made big money because of it. No one knew what it was; no one suspected it to be a demon. I was glad she was taken care of, 'cuz she was a big problem to our town, and I figured that her owner must be pretty angry.

I also figured that was why they were in here, but I didn't know who that "Father God" was; no one had ever talked about him before at this jail. But I guessed they were just normal guys who had been judged unjustly. Shrugging, I curled up and fell asleep.

At about midnight, I woke to the sound of singing. Oh great, I thought, I hope they aren't in here long! Who knows when I'll get a good night's sleep again!

My head was just beginning to ache from the echoes in the long corridors when the ground began to shake beneath me. I tried to run, but I couldn't keep myself steady. Suddenly, the walls collapsed with a great crash, and the prisoners' chains did too. My last thought was, Why don't they escape? But before that question was answered, a rock fell on my head, and I blacked out.

When I came to, I was pinned down by a bunch of rubble. I scrambled to get free, but I couldn't move. Suddenly, I heard Joe (the jailer) say, "What must I do to be saved?"

"Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you and your family will be saved." Paul answered.

As they talked, I realized all the bad things I'd done in my life (really, I'm a good rat... most of the time.)

And well, I said a prayer, right there, trapped beneath the rubble. I told God I believed in him, and I was sorry for all the things I'd done. Eventually some rat friends rescued me, and I told them about Jesus too. After that I felt like a changed man--uh, rat. I saw changes in Joe and his family too. Even Bart was different. To me, it felt like we were a whole new town.
While they rebuilt the jail, I went on a cruise to the Bahamas. Maybe I'll tell you about that sometime, but not now. Now, I'm taking a nap. Goodnight.

What do you think?? Not my best, but I think it's pretty good.

Please vote. The deadline is on Oct. 15th, and that's 2 days away!!! I need you, don't fail me….(just kidding!!!)
This is my contest hamster. His name is Bob. He will appear whenever contests are going on. So here he is….

Hello again...

Hello again...
Hi!!! Sorry I haven't blogged in a while…I had a friend over.
Oh my goodness!!! Thank you guys for so many comments!!!! You guys make me so happy!! Keep it up!
I have a funny story for you. You know how I have homegroup? Well, I have this friend named Hannah. Well, one day I wore this shirt that says “life rocks” on it. Then next homegroup I wore it again, cuz I didn't think she'd notice. Well…she did, and after that I wore it again and again every single homegroup because it annoyed her so bad. Well, one day I didn't wear it, because I was soooo sick of it. Turns out she wore an outfit she had already worn, just to annoy me. So, I got “the shirt” out and whenever she would start to annoy me, I would whip it out and threaten to put it on. I had spent the whole night trying to think up a harmless prank to get back at her, and I got my chance. She had worn a hat that she had everyone sign there names on. Right before she left I asked if I could sign it again. Guess what I signed?? I signed “Life Rocks” all over. I even signed it on the brim so that when she looked up she could see it. She didn't even realize that's what my shirt had said!! She said, “I didn't even realize that's what it said, I just was so mad that I didn't notice”. I laughed so hard. Then, I had everyone sign “the shirt” so I could remember all of my frieds. Actually, I'm wearing it right now.

Thanks again for all the comments! You made my day!!
I was going to say, “Bye-bye for now” but my friend says it should be TTFN – “Ta-Ta for now'', as Tigger might say:

TTFN,

Kylie

I have updated you on my friends list. What a funny way to have fun with your friend! My daughter Eyebright (who has a blog, did you see?) has a long standing joke with her best friend. This friend has nearly every kind of goat there is but Nubians. We used to have Nubian goats. They would tease each other about what was the best kind of goat, with the friend always saying that Nubians could never be the best kind. One day my daughter made a t-shirt with a Nubian on the front and gave it to her friend as a birthday present. The friends mom loved the joke and made her daughter wear it.

Abiding in the Vine!

Rough Day/Vote

Rough Day/Vote
Hello! Today has been a hectic day at our household!
We got up ontime this morning, but somehow we didn’t get ontime with school.
We didn’t finish all our assignments ontime for lunch, so after quiet time we had to finish up on that and now we’re behind on chores. Plus, my three-year-old sister is bothering my brother and me! < That’s almost what it’s like! On top of that, this morning I had a breakdown because I felt like I didn’t have any friends, and I was lonely. I was up late, too. So, it’s been a pretty long day. Last night (while I was up late), I had the idea of having a poll with my readers to see what things they like, colors, animals, etc., and this month it’s seasons; spring, summer, autumn, and winter. Post a comment and tell me what you think! Later, Kylie P.S – You have until midnight on October 15th to vote! Also, bloggers cannot vote more than once each.

To Change... Or Not To Change
Hi! I'm thinking about changing my blog to something a little more Narnia-ish, maybe a blog with a banner strip across the top with Aslan or something and have a backround of dark red; the color of the lion on Peter's shield. I'm also thinking about changing the
name of my blog to “Further Up and Further In”. What do you think? please post a comment and tell me. Bye, Kylie PS~ I'd also like to thank the people who put me on their friends list, mainly Ashley (CrazyAboutMonkeys) and Lauren (laurenkjoyce) and sagerats. Thanks a lot!!!!!!!!!!!

I've Been Busy...Again!

I've Been Busy...Again!
Man, have we been busy! My grandparents are here right now, and we are going to go shoe shopping with my grandma. Yesterday we went to Goodwill, and this morning some friends of ours dropped off a desk they can’t use anymore. Talk about busy!
I’d like to apologize that I haven’t been writing anything fun lately, like my bicycle article. I’ve just gotten a total brainwash and I’m having trouble thinking of ideas.
I might consider only writing once a week, mainly on weekends, because on school days it’s hard for me to squeeze time in to write. That was my initial thought, but when I first got my blog, I couldn’t stay away.
Oh, and it might vary when I’m able to write, because some days are busier than others.
Later,
Kylie
