Easter

       Easter is my favorite Holiday. It is my favorite holiday because it celebrates the most important part that makes my Salvation so real. Easter is the celebration of Jesus' resurrection, the day He arose from the dead. So it only makes since that while I was shopping today I decided to go down the Easter aisle. I went up and down down that thing trying to find the "Easter section."   By golly gratuitous I was really taken back by the fact that there was only one item in that entire aisle both sides that had anything to do with the true meaning of Easter. That item was a chocolate fish yes A FISH with the name JESUS written in it.  Nothing cross related, or bible related or He is risen related, nothing but a chocolate fish that said JESUS. everything else was rabbits, and eggs, and flowers, and carrots, and more rabbits.
       Now don't get me wrong I understand that those things are there to represent life although I never really understood the rabbits that laid eggs full of candy but whatever. However I see that we have forgotten whose life it is that we are actually celebrating. Bunnies do NOT equal Easter, Jesus DOES.  I even heard that some kids get Easter presentS  not just an Easter basket but multiple presents that they unwrap as if it's their birthday or something. Please let's learn the real meaning of Easter and what Jesus did for us and not just oh hey it's spring now have some candy. Let's bring back Christ to Easter!



         Matthew 26-28 King James Version (KJV)

26 :1 And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these sayings, he said unto his disciples,

2 Ye know that after two days is the feast of the passover, and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified.

3 Then assembled together the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders of the people, unto the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas,

4 And consulted that they might take Jesus by subtilty, and kill him.

5 But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar among the people.

6 Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,

7 There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at meat.

8 But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste?

9 For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor.

10 When Jesus understood it, he said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me.

11 For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always.

12 For in that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she did it for my burial.

13 Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her.

14 Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went unto the chief priests,

15 And said unto them, What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver.

16 And from that time he sought opportunity to betray him.

17 Now the first day of the feast of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the passover?

18 And he said, Go into the city to such a man, and say unto him, The Master saith, My time is at hand; I will keep the passover at thy house with my disciples.

19 And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them; and they made ready the passover.

20 Now when the even was come, he sat down with the twelve.

21 And as they did eat, he said, Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me.

22 And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every one of them to say unto him, Lord, is it I?

23 And he answered and said, He that dippeth his hand with me in the dish, the same shall betray me.

24 The Son of man goeth as it is written of him: but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been good for that man if he had not been born.

25 Then Judas, which betrayed him, answered and said, Master, is it I? He said unto him, Thou hast said.

26 And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body.

27 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it;

28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.

29 But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom.

30 And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives.

31 Then saith Jesus unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad.

32 But after I am risen again, I will go before you into Galilee.

33 Peter answered and said unto him, Though all men shall be offended because of thee, yet will I never be offended.

34 Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this night, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.

35 Peter said unto him, Though I should die with thee, yet will I not deny thee. Likewise also said all the disciples.

36 Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder.

37 And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy.

38 Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me.

39 And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.

40 And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?

41 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

42 He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done.

43 And he came and found them asleep again: for their eyes were heavy.

44 And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words.

45 Then cometh he to his disciples, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.

46 Rise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that doth betray me.

47 And while he yet spake, lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and elders of the people.

48 Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he: hold him fast.

49 And forthwith he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, master; and kissed him.

50 And Jesus said unto him, Friend, wherefore art thou come? Then came they, and laid hands on Jesus and took him.

51 And, behold, one of them which were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high priest's, and smote off his ear.

52 Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.

53 Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?

54 But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?

55 In that same hour said Jesus to the multitudes, Are ye come out as against a thief with swords and staves for to take me? I sat daily with you teaching in the temple, and ye laid no hold on me.

56 But all this was done, that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook him, and fled.

57 And they that had laid hold on Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled.

58 But Peter followed him afar off unto the high priest's palace, and went in, and sat with the servants, to see the end.

59 Now the chief priests, and elders, and all the council, sought false witness against Jesus, to put him to death;

60 But found none: yea, though many false witnesses came, yet found they none. At the last came two false witnesses,

61 And said, This fellow said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.

62 And the high priest arose, and said unto him, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?

63 But Jesus held his peace, And the high priest answered and said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God.

64 Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.

65 Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard his blasphemy.

66 What think ye? They answered and said, He is guilty of death.

67 Then did they spit in his face, and buffeted him; and others smote him with the palms of their hands,

68 Saying, Prophesy unto us, thou Christ, Who is he that smote thee?

69 Now Peter sat without in the palace: and a damsel came unto him, saying, Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee.

70 But he denied before them all, saying, I know not what thou sayest.

71 And when he was gone out into the porch, another maid saw him, and said unto them that were there, This fellow was also with Jesus of Nazareth.

72 And again he denied with an oath, I do not know the man.

73 And after a while came unto him they that stood by, and said to Peter, Surely thou also art one of them; for thy speech bewrayeth thee.

74 Then began he to curse and to swear, saying, I know not the man. And immediately the cock crew.

75 And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, which said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And he went out, and wept bitterly.

27:1 When the morning was come, all the chief priests and elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death:

2 And when they had bound him, they led him away, and delivered him to Pontius Pilate the governor.

3 Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,

4 Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood. And they said, What is that to us? see thou to that.

5 And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself.

6 And the chief priests took the silver pieces, and said, It is not lawful for to put them into the treasury, because it is the price of blood.

7 And they took counsel, and bought with them the potter's field, to bury strangers in.

8 Wherefore that field was called, The field of blood, unto this day.

9 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying, And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was valued, whom they of the children of Israel did value;

10 And gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord appointed me.

11 And Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And Jesus said unto him, Thou sayest.

12 And when he was accused of the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing.

13 Then said Pilate unto him, Hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee?

14 And he answered him to never a word; insomuch that the governor marvelled greatly.

15 Now at that feast the governor was wont to release unto the people a prisoner, whom they would.

16 And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.

17 Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus which is called Christ?

18 For he knew that for envy they had delivered him.

19 When he was set down on the judgment seat, his wife sent unto him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that just man: for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him.

20 But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.

21 The governor answered and said unto them, Whether of the twain will ye that I release unto you? They said, Barabbas.

22 Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be crucified.

23 And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified.

24 When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye to it.

25 Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children.

26 Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified.

27 Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall, and gathered unto him the whole band of soldiers.

28 And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe.

29 And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!

30 And they spit upon him, and took the reed, and smote him on the head.

31 And after that they had mocked him, they took the robe off from him, and put his own raiment on him, and led him away to crucify him.

32 And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to bear his cross.

33 And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, a place of a skull,

34 They gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and when he had tasted thereof, he would not drink.

35 And they crucified him, and parted his garments, casting lots: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, They parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture did they cast lots.

36 And sitting down they watched him there;

37 And set up over his head his accusation written, This Is Jesus The King Of The Jews.

38 Then were there two thieves crucified with him, one on the right hand, and another on the left.

39 And they that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads,

40 And saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross.

41 Likewise also the chief priests mocking him, with the scribes and elders, said,

42 He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him.

43 He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him: for he said, I am the Son of God.

44 The thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast the same in his teeth.

45 Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour.

46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

47 Some of them that stood there, when they heard that, said, This man calleth for Elias.

48 And straightway one of them ran, and took a spunge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink.

49 The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elias will come to save him.

50 Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.

51 And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;

52 And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,

53 And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.

54 Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.

55 And many women were there beholding afar off, which followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him:

56 Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedees children.

57 When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathaea, named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus' disciple:

58 He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered.

59 And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,

60 And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre, and departed.

61 And there was Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulchre.

62 Now the next day, that followed the day of the preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate,

63 Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three days I will rise again.

64 Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steal him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: so the last error shall be worse than the first.

65 Pilate said unto them, Ye have a watch: go your way, make it as sure as ye can.

66 So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, and setting a watch.

28 :1 In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.

2 And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.

3 His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow:

4 And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men.

5 And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.

6 He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.

7 And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you.

8 And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word.

9 And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him.

10 Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me.

11 Now when they were going, behold, some of the watch came into the city, and shewed unto the chief priests all the things that were done.

12 And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave large money unto the soldiers,

13 Saying, Say ye, His disciples came by night, and stole him away while we slept.

14 And if this come to the governor's ears, we will persuade him, and secure you.

15 So they took the money, and did as they were taught: and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day.

16 Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them.

17 And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted.

18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.

19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

The Trip
      The true reality begins to fade the true reality goes away and you become all alone The true reality is so dark wondering what's going on. The lights begin to field down Everywhere you look it's something new. You go into a bright world just to go into a dark room. The monster inside you releases out. The monster is dark he tears your heart he brings you down you know, you know it's real. Reality thrives on your death. It breaks you down . You sit in a dark room with no windows only a monster Killing you continuously. Hey in a bright world stripping you from your monster. You have gone so dark. Without your Monster you are dust in the past.



Day of hate
       The Sun comes up, You stay down The world begins the day while you drag along. No one knows the true you cause your so bright, right. You walk through the crowd like an invisible bubble. Walking through so many "normal" people. Your heart breaks down. You see the evil in everything you see the evil in the good. The blood within the power of your heart. Destroyed by many powered down heart of ach. Sain or insainity. Constantly reminded of the insainity that you carry. The wierdness of the very great hate brought down by strength brings you out shouting inside with gravity of hope. As you go you begin to not even describe yourself. This happens because you are nothing. Nothing but dust of the past. As the day lingers you Can't help but to think of how your times could be better well spent in a dark room.

      The Secret
It’s black and it’s fury
It’s yellow eyes with
The stares it gives oh so haunting
The hisses it makes
The nods it gives
Hopes and dreams it takes

When I was little they were cut
I wanted this little black fury thing,
It was cute
It cuddled so light
It was the dream I had
We were going to have fun
It was going to give me love

Until the day I held it in my hands
OH the oh so slow
Yet quick moment
I went to show how much I cared
As it swings back its little pink paw
And scratches me square in the nose

I will never like them again
Now you know why
I hate cats oh so so much.
(Note: I don't really hate cats it was a school assignment)

                                                               From November 26,2014 
      Giving up control
It's steaming hot, it's steaming cold.
The love of the control you have keeps you together.
You are collected, and straight forward with what you want.
You know the now, the in between, and the future.
you know the beginning and the end.
You have in all figured out.

You know exactly what you have to do to end when you want to end.
the amounts of what is need per year, per month, per day.
Without this method your control of the end is impossible.

Now you have given up your control.
You stopped doing what you needed to do for the end to happen on your terms
You've given up control over your own life
the right to die no longer exists
It's no longer up to you.

In a way you are re leaved you can think of other things.
Now however that control is what kept you together
Without the control of life you have control over nothing
You live but your life is over, yet still continuing.

A little prayer answered with a piece of testimony.

Sometimes it's really funny the way God works. I often find myself praying to God about the future, not because I'm ready for the next big thing to happen but because I'm ready for the next big thing to happen through him. I am pretty content with where I am at life right now, I'm at a place where I don't have to have a job to survive and a place where I am easily able to go church. That hasn't always been the case for me. You see my parents are Christians but they are not much of church goers they used to be when my sister and I were really young and before we were born but honestly I have only seen them go to Church on Easters and my baptism in the 7th grade, I think they may have even went on Christmas ounce. So because of this going to church wasn't always something readily easy for me. My parents always kind of encouraged church and they never said no you can't go to church. Church has always been my own choice which I am very thankful for the fact that I never had that you ARE going to church pressure. I am really glade that in Middle School I went to a church that had a bus ministry, it allowed me to be able to go to church every Sunday morning. Then when I moved again going into my freshman year there weren't many churches that I was willing to go too. None of the churches in town had a bus ministry so I had to walk to church. I tried going to a Methodist church that only worked for a few weeks before I realized I should not be there. Eventually during my Sophomore year on Easter I decided to walk further then one would see fit and I went to the first baptist church of that town. I really enjoyed and continued to go once in a while. During High school I really wasn't that close to the Lord. My junior year I ended up moving south. I got into a lot of stuff that I shouldn't have and dated many people. In September I started going to a church with my grandparents. After that I went to church with them every Sunday and Wednesday, where I joined youth, and met this really amazing Godly family. I was still into all of those things that I shouldn't have been into, but had that tug constantly trying to pull me back to Christ. I'm really glade I had that year of church because my senior year was really hard for me. I moved again that wasn't the hard part because I hated the school I went to my junior year. The hard part was the fact that I was in a city school with a ton of people who had all of high school to get know each other, and I didn't know of any good churches. I was pretty alone that year and wasn't very close to God but knew that he was still there for me which is a lot of what kept me going. By the end of that school year I had a good amount of acquaintances to talk to and a really good friend that liked the same Hockey team as me so that was pretty awesome. That easter I got a flyer in the mail for this baptist to church, so I got on Facebook to find out if they had a bus ministry turned out that they did. So that Easter I went to church then I continued to go I'm really glade I went there I still wasn't close to God but I was being given the chance and that pull that the Holy Ghost gives you saying "come back to me, Come back to me." Then after graduation I went to Hannibal La-Grange University which is a Southern Baptist Christian university. I was given a lot of chances with God there yeah sure there were a lot of lost people there too which was honestly very helpful to have them too. I had a really awesome RA who was there for anything I needed her for and was even helpful when I started getting sick. My roommate Sam was a really awesome person too, even though we were only roommates for half the semester she became a person in my life that I will never forget and helped me get to where I am with God today. I also met several other people that helped pull me closer to God. Especially my friends Ashley and Angie. They were able to help me and get excited with me about many things that helped get me to where I am with Christ today. I am honestly glade that God put those girls in my life, they are really good Godly girls and they are both going to go very far in life. During that semester at University I went to this church called Calvary, God did some amazing things for me there. We had revival there and during Revival I started getting closer and closer with God that is honestly one of the closest most amazing moments I have ever had with God. The next Sunday I spent like a good 15-20 minutes crying at the altar. I definitely know why God had me go to University there even if it were only for a semester. My life changed while I was there every plan I had for my life changed in just that one semester. I have God and all of those wonderful people I met along the way to thank for it. Which is part of why I am content where I am in life right now because I know that Gods' plan is my plan. Of course I'm still working towards figuring out the next step in life is but I'm turning it to God and letting him decide. Let's say my future 6 months ago and my future today are very different futures. Any ways I've been praying about the future lately, but not because I want what's next but because I want whatever is next to be through him, So I have been praying for little things like in the future let me continue to grow with you the way I am now, or When I have my own family in the future let me do this this this and this the way you would want me to do it and not the way the world does it. Well a few days ago I found myself asking God for the experience of being able to pray in a group with my family holding hands, I never had anything like that before. Well tonight at church with my Grandma after service the Pastor had us all get into a big circle and pray for the church after we went through Psalms chapter 4. Yeah it may not have been my family but it was my church family. God answered my prayer and I thank God for it, he continues to do little things like this for me to show me he still and always will care. I am so excited to see where he brings me and what he does for me next.

Duck Dynasty suspension over gay slander? 12/20/2013

       

Theheartyaerie
December 20, 2013 ·
If you get offended easily you will probably be offended by this but all well. So A&E suspended The show Duck Dynasty: I didn't really like the whole 2 episodes I have watched of it. Not because I've been offended but because if I want to go watch rednecks live their lives I can go to Branson and watch it live lol. The second thing is they are suspending the show because Phil quoted the bible on what he believes the same way he they always do in the show. In this he said that he believes that being gay is wrong. He said that homosexuals won't go to heaven. Now here is what I have to say about it: Phil is an American and he has the right to publicly say that, HE also has the right to believe that. That is what many Christians in America believe. My opinion is what I choose to do is between me and God. You are welcome to tell me that you personally believe what I am doing is wrong. That is as long as I can tell you my stance on things. What he said is nothing that the LGBTQIAPD community has not heard before. He was not being offensive by saying what he said. He simply stated that he doesn't believe it is right. He did not say that he is against gays, or that he hates gays. He only said it is a sin. According to the Bible he is correct. How can those of us in the LGBTQIAPD community expect to get our rights if we don't we don't allow others to have there rights. If we want people outside of the LGBTIAPD community to accept us into there society, then we need to be able to accept that not everyone agrees with being Gay. Just because someone does not believe being LGBTIAPD is the right way doesn't mean that they won't accept that some people are. To be accepted you have to accept. Even though I am not a Duck Dynasty fan, I still believe A&E was wrong to suspend the show. We need to be able to co exist. So for other people in and out of the LGBTQIAPD community who did get offended maybe you should keep this in mind.

The Problem With MY generation.

The problem with my generation, and the younger generations is that we always have/had someone to bail us out. As children we get away with things because parents/guardians say "oh well she's just a child" or "He's just a kid." "They didn't know any better. " Well my question is why didn't they know better, if you are old enough to do something then you are old enough to understand that it's wrong, and be told that it's wrong. As a pre-teen you're told don't do that you aren't told why it's wrong, and if you do it you still aren't punished for it. Then as teenagers even if we do get punished we tend to not think anything of it. especially with the younger generations being brought up by my generation. We also always have someone to do things for us, from homework, to chores, to learning how to cook or clean properly. Then we go to college or get married and don't know what the heck to do or how to live functioning lives. Then that is how we have ignorant Americans who live a slumming life, either living off of your parents etc, or living off off the government, and not because we are just going through a hard time, but because that's the only way we know how to live. My solution for those of us still young make an attempt to learn things, and work, get a recipe book and learn how to cook, if you can read you can cook, Try to become a better role model for the even younger generations, so they don't turn out super dependent on others. My solution to younger generations try and and to things on your own sometimes, and take initiative to learn. My solution to young parents and parents of this new up coming young generation, be the change help your kids learn how to do things on there own, yeah kids need help but not on every single thing they ever do. Also we need to be bringing in the younger kids to the kitchen even if they aren't old enough to learn how to cook, they can still watch what you are doing, or they can help with the smaller things like getting out what is needed or setting the table. Let's all rather you're the younger generation then me my young generation, or a parent/grandparent, or just the somebody walking down the street let's ALL be the change so this downhill spiral of dependents doesn't continue as much.

Change the Role Model.

We need to make the closer people in our lives the role models. Be a role model for your kids, don't expect the Miley Cyrus' and Zack Efrons of the world to be good role models. You Should be the role model. Mums Dads Grandmas Grandpas big brothers and big sisters, teacher, principals, counselors, Pastors, preachers, church folk. That's who we need to put the standards of being a good role model are. You need to be the person that you want the younger people around you to be. If your a parent teach them right for wrong, because if you don't the world will teach them to be Miley Cyrus, Zach Efron, and Justin Bieber.

Yik Yak Protest

        Yik Yak is designed for people over the age of 17, for college students. It's been around for years. This app is not designed for high school and Middle school students. There is a petition out to end the app, because high schoolers are being bullied. I understand why they are thinking what they are thinking, however I don't agree with it at all. There are better ways to handle that situation, such as parents talking to their children, and putting restictions making the app the way it was designed. I've traveled quite a bit this past week, and I've checked all the Yik Yak pages that I've been too. I've seen similar comments that the petition is speaking of. I have also noticed that most of these comments are made in small towns that don't have colleges or Universities anywhere near them. Yik Yak should be doing there part of taking care of the issue, just like all of the other social networking sites. How about instead of forcing them to take there app off of the app stores, we help them fix the issue. I have seen many places that use the app in a none vain way. So here is what Yik Yak should do, they should actually read the reported comments, take down the comments that break the rules such as posting names. I have seen high schoolers names being posted in small college free towns on Yik Yak when these comments nothing is done because they post periods, for example instead of say Aerie they would say A.E.R.I.E. doing this does not change that it is clearly sombodys name, Yik Yak needs to be paying attention to these sort of things. Yik Yak should also be reviewing all reports not waiting to get multiple on one comment. Yik Yak should also make it to where you can only comment and vote if you have actually been logged on, on a campus. They shouldn't be forced to ruin the fun for the people who can use it in a mature way. They should be reviewing and filtering. They could even put a word filter on posts to where you can't post certain words and by words I mean names. You know? Start with commen names then add others as needed.

Old quotes by theheartyaerie

I prefer to be surrounded by people who are smarter then me. This is because if I am the most ignorant person in the group I have room to grow and learn from the other people who are much wiser in my group. 9/7/14
In the end the only opinion that matters is the opinion of God. So think about that. Is what you are doing glorifying God? 9/8/14
The past is forever gone, the future is way too far, and the present is a gift, that is why it's called the present. 9/19/14
If all you really wanted to do was help people then you wouldn't spend so much time bragging about the fact that a bunch of people are recognizing you for it, and letting your Pride get the best of you. Recognition isn't always bad, but when you let it get to your head and that becomes more important then it is bad. What ever happened to people helping people just because that was the right thing to do. Why does it have to be all about oh hey you see that girl in the coat yeah I helped her get that. No just do good and let it go. 11/14/14
