Birthday presents

My birthday was last month, and I got lots of presents from my friends and family. My first present is a Asterix Comic book from my mom and dad. I read it very often and I love it. My second present is a big book of how to build a tree house, make a slingshot and a lot of other stuff. This is also a book my friends have. I have not read it yet, but it seems interesting. I also got two games from my great grandma which my grandma is bringing. I was also sent (by e-mail) two iTunes gift certificates, which I used to buy ten episodes. I was also given a pogo stick, which I haven't tried out, yet but once I figure out how to get on it and get bouncing, I think I will have fun with it. I got a model airplane set, which I haven't had time to put it together and paint it but I think I will have fun with it. Another present I got was an electric motor set from three of my friends, which I think I will have fun with it since I like science, and that's why I think they got it for me. My last present is two dinar, which I put into my savings account for a Webkinz, which I already have, and he is watching me type this right now, although by the time you read this right now will have passed. Well, I've run out of things to say, so goodbye!

George Whitefield

MS: This is my history report on George Whitefield. It also contains a bit of information about The First Great Awakening. Hope you like it! :-)

George Whitefield was a famous preacher who was born at the Bell Inn, in Gloucester, England. He was one of three men who started the First Great Awakening, also known as the Great Awakening, which was a series of religious events like people starting to read their Bible at home and becoming passionately and emotionally involved in their religion.

His stories were so realistic that people could literally see them before their eyes. Sailors felt as if they were on a ship, and real cries of ‘To the lifeboats, to the lifeboats!’ rang out from the crowd.

Not all people liked what he said though. Many churches were closed off to him.
But the few churches that were open to him became too full of people, so he began “field preaching,” preaching outside. Even though he preached many sermons, very few remain.

George Whitefield was a great religious man and strong in his spiritual beliefs. George Whitefield was also a good and faithful friend and will always be remembered, even by people who disagree with him.

JW's Alliterations

JW likes all things rhyming and has recently added alliteration to that. Here are a couple he came up with today:

Brown bears battle black beans with the help of brown badgers in a building.

Superstar senses Skittles.

Favorite presents

Here is what I got for Christmas and what I think of each present.

Lego Star Wars II The Original Saga video game: this was my very favorite present that I got, I just love playing it, and my friends like it too. I could tell you all about the game, but you would probably get bored, and I do not want to bore you, so on to the next present we go!

The next present is Star Wars too. I got a Darth Vader and Chief Chirpa Star Wars action figure. What I thought of it is well, I just love them and play with them quite often.

My last presents are The Knowledge: Spectacular Special Effects book, Magic Tree House: Afternoon on the Amazon,Guide to Afternoon on the Amazon, Minnesota Cuke and the Search for Samson's Hairbrush (a Veggie Tales DVD), Vroot and Vroom (a math game CD-ROM), Tintin in Tibet, Crafty Crime-Busting book,some LeapPad books, an iTunes gift certificate (which I got to buy five TV show episodes with), and a Star Wars Transformer. And, well I liked all of them!

My Psalm

MS:
I wrote a psalm, did you know that? Well, now that I think of it, you may already have guessed that I wrote a psalm since the title of my post is "My Psalm," but, then again, you might not have.

The reason why I wrote my psalm is because in my "Gotta Have God: Cool Devotions for Boys" book it said I had to write a psalm. My mother liked my psalm so much that she asked me to post it, so that is why I am writing this blog post.

Anyway, here is my psalm. I hope you enjoy it!

Messiah, Messiah, oh wondrous Lord,
The wonders you do are great to behold,
Your voice is so sweet, as sweet as your heart,
Which always is so kind, as the people shout:
Messiah, Messiah, oh wondrous Lord!

Well, I hope you liked my psalm. Goodbye, and tell me if you liked my psalm later (optional).

Baby bird

MS:
Remember my post that I wrote about the bird on our window sill? And do you remember that I said I would write more when the eggs hatched? They did, so that is how this blog post got its name.

Remember that in one of the last post's pictures that there were two eggs? Well, there where, but not all of the chicks lived. One of the chicks died, because it was not big enough (boo hoo!). So now there is only one chick in the nest.

We are sure learning a lot about science about birds close up, so it is good that the bird decided to make it's nest here. Well, that is all I have to say, so, good bye!

Christmas Shopping

I have finally finished my Christmas shopping (hurrah, hurrah!). Have you finished yours yet?

Well, anyway, I am here for a blog post, not to ask questions, so I might as well get on with it!

Anyway, since Christmas is all about giving, not receiving, our parents thought that instead of guzzling treats and playing with toys without even saying thanks, whenever a child became seven, each christmas, they buy a present for each of their siblings.

(Believe me, when you have got two brothers, a sister, and you are limited to five dollars or more, for a present thats a lot of money to spend!)

But even though I have to work hard to earn enough money to get them a nice present, it is still fun to pick out a present for them and then see how happy they are when they get my present.

Well, I have done what I was here for, so bye, ho,ho,ho again, and merry Christmas!
