Volleyball.....

Me and my good friend Gabe are going to start playing Volleyball. Starting TODAY. Any tips or comments on what to do?? Because I have absolutely no clue what they will want me to do.
I have wanted to play Soccer for a long time now but stuff always got in the way, so then I said I might want to play Volleyball and now here I am playing Volleyball. Maybe GOD has something out for this...new experience... or just want to have a good laugh... at us!
So please leave a comment on ALL tips that might help or maybe the time you tried out volleyball... and how that turned out.


Hey Olivia here (again), me and Gabe just got home from Volleyball!! We have never ran that much in our (short) lives! But we are going back next week, we think we can handle it again (think). P.S. It was not that bad...


Please leave a comment! God Bless! Olivia & Gabe
Sorry no pictures this time, next time I promise.

Bad Day

So if your day was just OK, or maybe down right terrible, then ask your self this question. "Why was my day so bad??". If you answer "it was just a bad day, leave it at that!" or even "it was just OK (with a slumpy voice) maybe tomorrow will be better. *sigh*
Then maybe you should pray. To your only LORD and SAVIOR who will calm your tears. If you have already done that (which more could never hurt), just look around you not in this miserable world, but to GOD.
Remember every thing you have the LORD has given, every thing you can not see in the future He will still give, and the things He has prepared for you... gosh look at all the great things you push aside for one simple misforture...

Olivia,
Have you had a bad day lately??
God Bless!
Here are some perfect songs for this...

Lady Carliss and the Waters of Moorue




Lady Carliss and the Waters of Moorue by Chuck Black

Reviewed by Savvy Scholars co- owner Olivia


Absolutely Amazing.

Lady Carliss and the Waters of Moorue has my top vote. In this tale of life, death,  love and passion, Lady Carliss finds herself fighting for the not just her own live, but the lives of dozens of people, and the secret love she can never be with.

This is the fourth installment of Chuck Black's series Knights of Arrethtrae. Lady Carliss is a master of the sword and the bow. She is one of the few knights to be called by the King and Prince to fight for only good and their sake.

In this book we balance good and evil both representing spiritual things. The Prince and the King are an analogy of our LORD Jesus and our GOD. Where as the evil Lord Malco is an analogy of Satan or commonly called the devil. It is mainly written from a Christian perspective.

Lady Carliss faces Lord Malco, the Shadow knights, Esca lizards, and the strange Waters of Moorue bravely and with valor. This book has sword fights, poisons lizards, and a lovely love story, all together making a magnificent plot story and read.

Lady Carliss and the Waters of Moorue has twenty - four chapters, plus, chapter by chapter discussion questions.

Having Fun Reading

Yeah, I know…when you hear someone say “Let’s have fun with reading” it’s normally a teacher or parent.  Yet, reading really can be fun.  Even long books like Little Women by Louisa May Alcott or The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien can be fun to read.  Just consider what type of books you would enjoy reading.  Here are a few suggestions.



If you like fantasy, The Hobbit is a great choice.


 If you like romance, drama and heartfelt emotion than consider reading Little Women


 For those who like thrillers you may be interested in  This Present Darkness by Frank E. Peretti.
 

For those curious about the lives of others you may prefer a biography.  My suggestions for interesting people to read about are:  Leonardo Da Vinci, Henry the IIIV or his daughter “Bloody” Mary, Ivan the Great or Ivan the Terrible (and yes, they are different people), Cleopatra or one of my favorites; Shakespeare.

Let me know what interests you and maybe we can come up with a fun read.

God Bless!
