A Mighty Fortress


1
A mighty fortress is our God,
A bulwark never failing;
Our helper He amid the flood
Of mortal ills prevailing.
For still our ancient foe
Doth seek to work us woe --
His craft and pow'r are great,
And armed with cruel hate,
On earth is not his equal.


2
Did we in our own strength confide
Our striving would be losing,
Were not the right Man on our side,
The Man of God's own choosing.
Dost ask who that may be?
Christ Jesus, it is He --
Lord Sabaoth His name,
From age to age the same --
And He must win the battle.



3
And tho this world, with devils filled,
Should threaten to undo us,
We will not fear, for God hath willed
His truth to triumph thru us.
The prince of darkness grim --
We tremble not for him;
His rage we can endure,
For lo! his doom is sure --
One little word shall fell him.


4
That word above all earthly pow'rs --
No thanks to them abideth;
The Spirit and the gifts are ours
Thru Him who with us sideth.
Let goods and kindred go,
This mortal life also;
The body they may kill:
God's truth abideth still --
His kingdom is forever.
His kingdom is FOREVER and EVER!

Jelly's condition is becoming progressively worse.. Poor dear.
The girl and rabbit are a devoted pair- pretty much inseparable.
 So, as Em's banner says, "Pray for Jelly" :) Gracias.

Ultimate Frisbee

The following is a very old blog post from my friend Katie's blog. 
Totally reminds me of being 12...  wearing matching pink sweaters, passing notes at church, and playing frisbe as much as possible (though we were always frustrated and would threaten to quit playing :P)

haha.. yes, those were the good 'ol days. 
Love ya forever, Katie! ;)


Ultimate Frisbee
At church every Sunday, most of the kids like to play ultimate frisbee...it's kinda fun, but I think they should play something else for once LOL. I'm a little new to it, so I'm usually not one of the 1st ones picked. Well, at least I'm not invisible anymore. I'm usually like the 5th to last one picked.
Here's how it works:
1) After the service, gulp down your food and tell your friends to hurry up so you can be the first ones out to the frisbee field
2) Change into jeans and a t-shirt
3) Go out to the frisbee field and start playing a 'girls' game of ultimate with all your friends while you wait for everyone else to finish eating
4) When the "older boys" (not much older than me, but they act like they are) start picking teams, feel free to have a long conversation with your friends...it could be awhile
5) Listen carefully for your name to be called; it probably won't be that loud.
6) Try to keep track of which side you are headed for (it changes every time someone scores a goal)
7) Look available and confident so people will throw the frisbee to you, but don't say "here!" too loudly, because people don't throw to you that often
8) Don't let your opponent, who is blocking you, get less than an arm's length away from you.
9) Keep an eye on the frisbee. It's not a good sign when you don't know where it is...
10) The "more experienced" players probably will tell you to guard someone. For me, I CAN'T guard people. It rarely works, and you lose all your energy too quickly.
11) Pass the frisbee to anyone and everyone on your team.
