During Christmas break, I've been working a lot on NCFCA Speech and Forensics. It's crazy it starts next month! What categories are you competing? What are you most excited about it? Are you ready? I'm currently working on my persuasive, which is about pursuing the truth. I'm opening with an intro about martyrs in Islam and Christianity and how they both believed they're dying for the truth. I stumbled on this Islamic website with history in Islam. Here's what it said at the top of the page:
"We apologize to anyone who may be offended by the history of the founder of Islam (Muhammad) below."
I am so glad that we don't have to apologize for what Jesus said! I won't apologize when people are offended by the truth. It's interesting that there's been more Christian martyrs in the last century than in the past nineteen centuries...combined. People have found something worth dying for. I love how Jesus never made Christianity seem appealing and easy. He wasn't like, "Look at all you'll get!" but instead He urged them to pick up their cross, die to themselves, and follow Him. He demanded total, 100% commitment.
Very cool. Jesus is awesome.

Praise God and Thank you, Jesus!
Jesus is awesome. Last night I was thinking about Him and what being like Him would look like.
Love and miss you girl!!! Your forensics stuff (since I don't know the real terms) is/will be amazing!
