Chronicles of a tricked sister
Well, I have to admit that I was taken in the other day. I really shouldn't have been but I was. My brothers were walking some dogs a couple days ago when they came across watermelon lying in the gutter. Now, I'm not sure about you, but when I see a watermelon in the gutter, I don't think of ways to trick my siblings into eating some of it. I walk calmly past it. My brothers, however, decided to kick (yes kick) it home and try to get me to eat some. When they got it home, they set it in front of the door and then rang the doorbell. One of them was inside and announced that he would 'get the door.' They brought it in and washed it off (it had a gash in it however.) Then they came in and told me there was some "yummy" watermelon that they had "found." When I asked them where they had gotten it, they answered, "Oh, didn't you hear the doorbell? We found it in front of the door" Seeing that a piece of the watermelon had been eaten (supposedly anyway) I cut a piece and took a bite. It wasn't bad but I heard the boys laughing in the other room so I thought something might be up. Sure enough they told me to read their "buzz" post and there was the story. Needless to say, I did not finish my watermelon. I suppose the moral of this story is to never eat watermelon that was "found" in front of a door.
No motivation
Ever been so ready to be done with school that absolutely nothing motivates you to get it done? Well I'm there right now. Hopefully I'll be done with everything by the end of May but who knows. I'm really ready to be done.

1 Corinthians 13
I'm going to try and type out all of 1 Corinthians
1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal.
2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge, and though I have all faith so that I could remove mountains but have not love, I am nothing.
3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor and though I give my body to be burned but have not love, it profits me nothing.
4 Love suffers long and is kind, love does not envy, love does not parade itself, is not puffed up.
5 Does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil.
6 Does not rejoice in iniquity but rejoices in the truth
7 Bears all things believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things
8 Love never fails, but whether there are prophecies they will fail whether there are tongues they will cease, whether there is knowledge it will vanish away
9 For we know in part and we prophecy in part,
10 but when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away
11 When I was a child I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child. But when I became a man I put away childish things.
12 For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part but then I shall know, just as I also am known
13 And now abide faith, hope, love, these three, but the greatest of these is love.
