Talk

Ok so here is my talk I had to do in church on sunday.

I was asked to speak on what christmas means to me.

When I think of christmas I immediately think of presents, candy, and being with family.

I asked my friends and family what they think of when they hear christmas and they said:

-joy happiness and charity

-love, family and service!

-’’what I am getting’’

- Christmas tree!!!

-i think of giving to other people, or presents!

-little kids sledding, and pine trees....and big fat snowflakes

-i think of the magic of believing.

While those thinks are good things , we still forget the true meaning of christmas.

Without Jesus we wouldn’t even have christmas. Jesus did so much for us while he was on earth but the big think was he atoned for our sins and died for us. To me christmas Is a holiday to remember jesus and his life and give back to him. Whether it is something like reading scriptures more, being kind, or saying prayers. All of those show our savior that we love him.

No cartoons today talk about the true meaning of christmas. But in the charlie brown christmas episode charlie askes everyone ‘’what is the true meaning of christmas??’’ linus reads out of luke chapter 2 and tells everyone what christmas is really about.

And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all ^athe world should be ^btaxed.

And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.

And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called ^aBethlehem

To be taxed with Mary his ^aespoused wife, being great with child.

And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.

And she brought forth her ^afirstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the ^binn.

And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.

And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the ^aglory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.

And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you ^agood tidings of great ^bjoy, which shall be to all people.

For unto you is ^aborn this day in the city of David a ^bSaviour, which is Christ the ^cLord.

And this shall be a ^asign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.

And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,

^aGlory to God in the highest, and on earth ^bpeace, good will toward men.

After the shepherds sawJesus Christ, they went and declaired to others what they saw. We can also declair to others, our love of Jesus Christ through our actions, and words.

In closing I want to read this poem I found.

Don't Forget Jesus


Christmas is a special time
To reflect on Jesus Christ
The wonder of His lowly birth
Brings meaning to our lives

There really is no other reason
We celebrate this day
The birth of God’s precious son
And the life He willingly gave

But so much seems to distract us
In the busy-ness of our lives
We lose our focus in all the happenings
Not knowing, we leave out Christ

We lose sight of the true meaning
As we endlessly rush about
Trying to find that perfect gift
Seems to cloud our Saviour out

We need to stop and reflect awhile
Remembering our precious Lord
His birth, His life and sacrifice
And all that He stands for

For though the world may celebrate
It seems though for other reasons
Let’s keep in mind that Jesus Christ
Is the true meaning of the season

|I hope we can all remember the true meaning of christmas this year.|

WHOO HOO!

Mannnn, this year was pretty dang fun!!!!!!! I cant wait till next year, my grade will be the oldest (FRESHMAN!) and my brother comes in! Well, so ya this year was a blast! 1st semester we had the freakin' BEST! art class EVER! lol, so many funny people in that class! There was this really weird guy in that art class, that thought he was going to travel to Ireland by himself? He is way funny! There was this other guy that tricked this girl into thinking his dad was a chef at olive garden, we believed him. but a few days ago he told us he was just kidding. lol! sounds like pretty stupid things, but they were funny! My U.S. history class this semester was the FUNNIES! k so my teacher is an old Australian guy, and hes pretty nice when hes not mad! but when hes mad- let me just tell u it the FUNNIEST thing on the PLANET! K so one of the first times he got mad was when everyone was getting sent out in the hall to do book work, everyone was asking for pencils and our pencils sharpener SUCKS so he was trying to sharpen them, but couldnt so he yanks part of the pencil sharpener off, throws it on the floor, stomps on it, and chucks it in the garbage! and he came back and said '' i am sick of whyping (dk how to spell) your bottoms! you are the reason we are in this bad Economy because no one can take responsibility..... I went to lagoon w/ my school and that was a BLAST. This girl me and mackenzie went with had 100 bucks from her mom, so she bought me a = medium dip-in-dots, (she asked us what size we wanted so i didnt want to be a pig, and i didnt want something too small!) and a cheesecake. She got my friend the same thing but it was a churro instead of cheesecake. Then we went and found my other friend Kassidy so we could go on rattle snake rapids, and i think that group was some of the funniest people ever! K so there was this guy that was w/ us and -WOW- F-U-N-N-Y! Like he would shout ''HOLLA, HEY YALL' WHATS UP!'' to random people and he would like scream it! Then on the ride he would scream but no air would come out... man it was funny stuff. again, sounds dumb but it was so funny! he acts like a little girl! WE went on wicked twice and it was so fun! YEAh this year was pretty easy. I had no projects i had to do, and like no homework! i think i had like 2 assignment that i had to bring home and it was just things like parent interviews for health and stuff. At my school every Friday they pick a teacher and their favorite song plays in the halls. We have song playing every day during the break when we have one more minuet left to get to class, but on Friday its the teachers favorite. They did that this year, and 7th. thats way fun! most of the songs teachers pick are slow country or classical, but they had some good ones this year! Yeah so it was so much fun this year! Sounds pretty stupid but way FUN!

P.S. sorry if anyone likes that u.s. history teacher, i just think that its kinda funny once in a while! hes nice but when he gets mad its just funny cuz he over reacts.

OK I am probably going to change my blog address this week or the next! it will be :kelseyslifestory.blogspot.com

ok, so i dont think i am going to be private, because i just dont want to! so instead i will just change my address!!!!! you go under settings and under that u click on publishing, right? well anyway i will do it soon and this is what it will be:    www.kelseyslifestory.blogspot.com 

kinda weird, but whatever!

hey, i think i am going to set my blog to private, we learned about being safe on the internet, and the guest speaker told us to google our names, and my blog showed up! i dont want some people at school looking at, like they would ever google my name, but still.   so anyone please send me your email addresses! and if i know OF you then leave a comment and i will put you on the list.    

CRAP!!

Great.....

what am i going to do now!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!

so a lot of u know that i applied at 7 peaks (water park), and me and my friend went to a meeting/party for u to apply and things.  I would imagine that u would get an interview if u took the time to go to the dang party, but i guess i was wrong because all of my friends got an interview and one of them got a JOB!! they called her today!  This is what i was planning on doing this summer : 

wake up early and go to work

hang out with my friends at work

get free food at work

swim for free at work

go to parties for free- at work

make LOTS of new friends at work

have the best summer of my life at work

but instead this is how it will go-

wake up late

do nothing all day

be bored

be in my pajamas all day

and just have no fun! 

 f.y.i, I havent even gotten an interview or a call for an interview, and everyone at school has! And we called back TWICE.  i know so many people that got an interview! maby they didnt like my application, but i didnt do anything wrong on it, wrote neat and everything.

what the freakin' heck I m i going to do now?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

So let me tell u what i have been doing.

last week was spring break. on wednesday everyone was out of the house so me and alex just did whatever we wanted. then on Thursday me and my mom went to old navy and that night i watch the pursuit of happyness w/ my friend. (sry if i spelled that wrong). Then on thursday Me my mom and brooke when to the hannah montana movie. i WANTED to see 17 again but it was PG-13 and brooke was with us so we couldnt, blah blah blah. Then we went to Chillies.  So yeah it was a pretty fun spring break.  So I applied at 7-peaks but they havent called me yet and so many kids applied and they can only hire 50. so idk if i am going to get the job! but all my friends got an interview, so we'll just  see i guess. it would be so fun though. every friday night they have pool parties from 9pm-12am and the staff is invited and then have a huge screen playing music vid. and stuff. that would be AWESOME!  So yeah i pretty much love school. minus the learning though.  I have lots of awesome friends at school!  So in my post bellow i told u that i was in a play for my drama class and i have to be bald at the last part of the play. well anyway, i am supposed to have really pretty hair before so my friend breanna is going to do my hair all cute, yeah its pretty much going to be awesome! but i REALLY dont want to be bald! i will look like such a FREAK!  So yeah thats pretty much it! 

hey so yeah.....

i havent wrote anything forever. 

well i got a new playlist at the bottom. If u dont like it then just press pause or something (duh) but i pretty much made that for me so....yeah....... some of my favorites on there are ''she is love'' i got the slow version though and i dont like the slow version. i also like ''Jai Ho'',  ''poker face'',  ''How do you sleep'', ''Candle'', and ''Crash into me''. so yeah not like u guys care or anything! lol! jk! so yeah im doing a play in my school and i am FREAKIN OUT!!  I got double casted so in one play im a semi- lead and in the other i AM i lead.  so i have like a zillion lines to memorize. and in one of the plays i have to be blad- BALD!! so they have to put on of those hat things on me.  i really dont want to do that, i will look so stupid! the reason I have to be bald is cuz im a really popular girl who only cares about her hair, and gossips and stuff. So i go in for a hair cut and the hair dresser messes up and i am- bald! i dont want to do that, everyone will make fun of me! well yeah i will write lots more soon because i have to go to sleep now.  I will more most likely tomorrow. 

ok this ones for u aunt cindy-

i went to a stake young womans and young mens activitiy on thursday and it was a load of fun.
It was the brand new year video thing....... if any one saw it i woul LOVE to be in something like that like the singing and dancing parts... yeah and we got cupcakes after, so it was a lot of fun =D
Tomorrow my young woman in my ward is going ice skating, so im pretty exited even though i cant even stand up on ice skates!!!! But im exited to be w/ my friends!! =D

yeah im in the summer mood....im sure u guys are too....

but oh my heck!!! i LOVE this new blog design!!!!
