Interesting things that happend this week

1) Cousin Brady has scarlet fever
2) I had my birthday
3) Had a science mid-term
4) We received three inches of snow and Baptist canceled school
5) I went to Dicks and Barnes and noble with just my mom

It snowed!

The first kind of sort of snow fall this year! You can still see the top of the grass sticking up and it feels and weighs more like ice, but who cares. Baptist has a snow day which pushes mid-terms off a day. Hari is very happy. Everyone had fun in the snow this morning. Now it is time for lunch. Have a great day.-Laura

Birthday

Well, today is my birthday. Last night I had my birthday party. I just had a few friends over. We played, ate and had a good time. Tonight Grandpa and Grandma are coming over. So that is what has been what will be going on. -Laura

My dad's bithday

Today is my dad's birthday. We are all excited to give him his gifts and eat pizza. It stinks having to wait until dinner to give him his presents. O well. Happy Birthday dad!-Laura

Nothnig real profound

Nothing has been going on that is extremely exciting or out of the ordinary. Not even interesting conversations. Soccer has started and we won our first game. I scored three goals. To marrow I have my next game. We will play our best, but it will be a hard game. That is all for now.-Laura

Worship

The other day we had a interesting discussion on worship. Worship contains many elements to it. Webster dictionary defines worship as "Worthiness, respect, reverence paid to a divine being." Worship, in short, is showing someone how much they mean to you. Worship requires effort. Worship requires giving of yourself. Worship is not just singing in church or even going to church. Worship is a life style. Worship can begin in church but it should not end in church. If we were to look through the Bible we would see different ways that people showed God how much He meant to them. Mark 14:3-9 tells the story of Mary annoting Jesus' feet with the costly perfume. In verse 8 it says "She has done what she could." She showed worship. She offered her most valued possession. In Luke 7 we find the story of a woman using her tears and hair to wash Jesus' feet. In Mark 12:38-44 we see a widow put in all of the money that she has. She showed how much Jesus meant to her-everything. Romans 12:1 "Therefore, I urge you brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God-this is your spiritual act of worship." Worship- showing God how much He means to us, a life style, something that can start in church but can not end there. -Laura

How long?

Jan 2nd my cousin Abby, who we had been with all week, got sick with the flu. Monday my other cousins Chase and Logan got sick as well. Matthew got sick tonight. The question of the day is how long before we all are. All that we are asking is that we be all better before Saturday in time for soccer. Have a great day!-Laura

A new year, a long time since I last post, and the last day before school starts again. Life has just kept rolling. Christmas has come and gone. The first day of salo soccer has come and gone. My dad and his business partner have gotten their office. The furniture has come, along with allot of cardboard that I had to cut down and what felt like many chairs to be assembled. We received a Wii for Christmas from are grandparents. That is what has been going on in the Schroll family in extreme fast forward and no details. Have a good day, week, year etc.-Laura
