What does writing mean to me? To me, writing is an outpouring of my imagination. To me it is a way to reach many people, to share what God has placed in my head and heart. 'If I don't write to empty my mind, I go mad.' ~Lord Byron. Writing is a way to express what is in your heart and mind. Writing is not only an expression, it is a tool. What you write can do good, or bring harm. Like words spoken in anger, once you write them and put them out for others to see, they can not easily be taken back or forgotten. As a person I must be careful to pick and choose what I say I must even go so far as to rein in my thoughts; '<span class="text 2Cor-10-5" id="en-NKJV-28977">bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ,' a part of 2 Corinthians 10:5 As a writer I must be equally careful of what I say when I 'put pen to page,' or fingers to keyboard as the case may be. </span><br />
<span class="text 2Cor-10-5" id="en-NKJV-28977"> Do I always do this? Yeah, no in either case. Let's face it, I'm not perfect; and in this life I never will be. But I must always 'strive toward a larger goal,' ~Les Miserables (Okay now I keep singing in my head.) Benjamin Franklin said, 'Either write something worth reading, or do something worth writing.' I think that if I could not write I might go mad, as Lord Byron said. Does writing come naturally to me? I think so but that doesn't mean it comes easily. Many times it is difficult and I struggle, especially with poetry. But does that mean I will stop writing all together? Never. It would be inconceivable! Literally, I cannot conceive not writing, at least while I'm still single that is. So, yeah, writing is very important to me. I don't just want to write, I want to write well.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif";"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: "Century","serif"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Is
the Constitution a Living or Dead Document?*</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There is a question circling
around our country. From the halls and rooms of the U.S. Capitol, to courtrooms
and lawyer’s offices nationwide, right down to citizen’s homes, there is a
question being asked. Is the Constitution living or dead? Well, is it? </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>First we must understand what
they mean by ‘living’ and ‘dead’. If the Constitution is a living document that
would mean that it could be ‘updated’ in the sense that it could be made to fit
the modern interpretations and moral code of the present day. If it is a dead
document that would mean it is supposed to be used and interpreted the way the
framers and signers meant. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I vote for the second
definition. We have a way to update and add to the Constitution as the world
changes. The Founding Fathers knew that there would be future events that would
cause changes needing to be made in the Constitution. Hence, Article V in the
Constitution. Article V, gives Congress the power to when they think it
necessary, to make amendments.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One of the most major
amendments in our Constitution was after the Civil War, when the 13<sup>th</sup>,
14<sup>th</sup>, and 15<sup>th</sup> amendments were made. Major in the sense
they brought a large change about in our country. Even though there were
problems and abuses for many years afterwards, these amendments brought radical
change. Slavery had been part of our country since the beginning, and then
suddenly it was gone, outlawed. There were places in our country it was
outlawed before but never in all of the country. Those amendments were
far-reaching and drastic.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So to get back to my point; we
have a way to, as they come up, make needed changes. What we don’t or shouldn’t
have, are ways to subject our Constitution to the ideas and moral standards of
judges and lawyers. So let’s say, the Constitution is a ‘living’ document. Who
defines what changes we can make? What changes could we make? Whose moral code
do we follow? Are the changes to be made a by a select few or are the people
going to vote to choose which ones go through? How many changes could we make
before we just rewrote the whole thing?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Think about it, if people were
allowed to make changes to the Constitution, how far is too far? If you give it
some thought you could conceive the idea that if we were allowed to make any
change we wanted, some might think it would be better to rewrite the whole
Constitution to fit the moral code and issues of today. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Constitution has lasted this
long and it has done fine going through the different changes in society. What
is an issue now may not be an issue later; instead there will be new issues as
time changes. Take the drone debate, there was no debate fifty years ago. Come
to think of it, there weren’t any drones at that time. Unless you know
something I don’t, I mean, it’s not like I was alive back then.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So the issues we think are so
important right now might be irrelevant in fifty, thirty, maybe even twenty
years from now. The Constitution is timeless. It is a set of basic laws as to
what our government can and can’t do. It is the basis for our government.
People talk about how much control the government has over our lives. Think of
how much more control they might have if they were able to rewrite the
Constitution to how they think it should be. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Frightening. Seriously.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So if the Constitution is a
‘dead’ document, we use it in the way the framers meant. We stay true to the
original meaning. We take it for what it says and stop trying to mold it to
what we want it to say. The Constitution says, what it says; stop trying to add
in what you think because of it general phrasing. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is my opinion. That
the Constitution is to be used as the framers and writers wrote it. It is to be
used how they intended the Constitution to be used. Issues can be, and have
been resolved. We cannot make the Constitution fit our whims, whims change;
hence the word whims. So that’s where we stand. I think that the Constitution
is a ‘dead’ document. But it is full of meaning and is still relevant to this
day. </span></div>

Okay, so blogger changed things around so until I get used to the new format, my post may be a bit wacky but hang in there I will get used to it. I wanted to show you some pictures of the trip we made to our friends the Riley's house. They live way up near Jonesport. On the Sunday morning that we spent with them (their church service that day was in the afternoon) we took a boat ride. </div>

I have not completed my resolution from last year. (really? whoever does?) I am a year older and some wiser. I have seen sickness and health, I have born deaths, and rejoiced over births. I have gone through times of doubt and trust. I learned to drive. I have prayed and been prayed for. I have felt my heart ache over my friends troubles. God has shown me much in my life that needs change. I have experienced much change in this year, and yet I look ahead and though I do not know what is to come exactly I know in my heart that there is only more yet to come. Can I truly say that I want that change? But being a Christian I do want the change that only a true faith and devotion to God works in our lives. Change, we have a love-hate relationship. I think that our family has gone through enough turmoil, but it is often that through what seems like turmoil to us, God's plans are brought about. Trials are meant to stretch us and grow us. God works in both lightning bolts and little drips. (paraphrase Amazing Grace) Think about that, a lightning bolt would break and crack a stone, whereas a drip of water would slowly wear away at the stone. I do not think that I am the only one in whose life both has happened. Change can be rapid or gradual. Do not pray that change that will not come, but rather pray that God will be with us through it and that we will listen to what He says to us. 'If God brings you to it, He'll bring you through it.' I saw that on a ring and it has encouraged me much when I think of it. I pray God will bless you my readers, and that He will work mightily in your lives this coming year. God Bless and Happy New Year!Emilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05782108567999381686noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1657149238504294419.post-88880061172203084982011-12-25T14:34:00.004-05:002012-01-01T20:43:11.404-05:00Isaiah 9:6<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgq2r1DZtUDmrJKrdBqqV4qaDtx2zHDk0-iY4XXWwXLQWUbPKoOoCLJiOa7uQw7W9I84qK6xMUOUizteifYeuB3P-ft5vV8HhrAWFFeflkuCtTsBvJG5sOzxMdB5pHBz8dfC4Cxyuz_oCZ1/s1600/DSCI2498.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgq2r1DZtUDmrJKrdBqqV4qaDtx2zHDk0-iY4XXWwXLQWUbPKoOoCLJiOa7uQw7W9I84qK6xMUOUizteifYeuB3P-ft5vV8HhrAWFFeflkuCtTsBvJG5sOzxMdB5pHBz8dfC4Cxyuz_oCZ1/s320/DSCI2498.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5690153529056960610" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;">'For to us a child is born,<br />to us a Son is given,<br />and the government shall be upon His shoulder,<br />and His name shall be called<br />Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,<br />Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.'<br />Isaiah 9:6<br />*Capitalization added.<br /></div>Emilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05782108567999381686noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1657149238504294419.post-12991848482752152702011-11-02T20:25:00.002-04:002011-11-02T20:33:21.727-04:00Man, you gotta love this!<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIxsllvNKl1CZfX8WPWiSv71Spcf_r1jaIkgJs30nCqhM74jPcoKqX2SzUwia9LJZPLlcdT61rn468b5gKy9faEbn50Eju_kUcjYR0RLkcd5RWAUdcy4W89o_acYrlvAvc7c_WWM3SXKHh/s1600/Copy+of+DSC_0656.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIxsllvNKl1CZfX8WPWiSv71Spcf_r1jaIkgJs30nCqhM74jPcoKqX2SzUwia9LJZPLlcdT61rn468b5gKy9faEbn50Eju_kUcjYR0RLkcd5RWAUdcy4W89o_acYrlvAvc7c_WWM3SXKHh/s320/Copy+of+DSC_0656.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5670560333223348066" border="0" /></a>So these are pictures that I took from my backyard.<br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgthtT1xPtv8H96fGVvRwn5MMgmYGpVVduZL-A1jhqenW35gIYfZ6W-Lfqf6vmpmb03Cb161F4xXbf-hau8XAXLM2vgYTAZ9AY3OiDwYYW-1jmq3pNtP4Bi3q01cMkaGAkpucw97SsR6zeV/s1600/Copy+of+DSC_0655.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgthtT1xPtv8H96fGVvRwn5MMgmYGpVVduZL-A1jhqenW35gIYfZ6W-Lfqf6vmpmb03Cb161F4xXbf-hau8XAXLM2vgYTAZ9AY3OiDwYYW-1jmq3pNtP4Bi3q01cMkaGAkpucw97SsR6zeV/s320/Copy+of+DSC_0655.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5670560339386352162" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Any of you who follow this know that I am obsessed with sky pictures.<br />I'm really sorry I haven't been posting a lot lately.<br />Last time I tried to put pictures on they wouldn't load.<br />But hopefully I can post more regularly.<br /></div>Emilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05782108567999381686noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1657149238504294419.post-54148393752992540392011-09-26T21:17:00.002-04:002011-09-26T21:20:18.603-04:00My demo.An open invitation to my 4-H demonstration on Sat. it will be at 2:00 if you would like to go please let me know so I can give you directions.

My father and the pastor were trying to take apart the ping-pong table in our basement. Well my dad asked me to go the barn and get a ratchet set, and then described it for me. Well I went to the barn and could not find a plastic case that fit the description. So I walked to the top of the bulkhead and called down. 'Dad?! What's a ratchet?' This caused some laughter down there. And eventually the case was found after I came down and started helping again. My dad found it eventually. But it proved what I know about tools. Not much.Emilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05782108567999381686noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1657149238504294419.post-75898313084949355582011-05-27T18:12:00.002-04:002011-05-27T18:13:43.931-04:00I Got It!Hey everyone!

Driver's Ed. That tell you anything of how busy I am? We have classes three days a week and also drive a few times a week. But this week our instructor is going on a trip so we get the rest of the week off! Yeah! :D John and I are taking it together. It has shown me how blessed I am to have parents who want to teach me themselves and care about what I am exposed to out in the world. I am so thankful that I am not in a public school. I am also blessed by how John is such a gentleman. I am hoping that perhaps by how we act and treat each other we will be a witness to the other kids. Besides Dr. ed. I still have school and over three projects going at a time which is no surprise to those who know me well. ;) I realized today that in one week I will be seventeen. Ever since I was twelve I have been waiting to be that magical number sixteen. I thought I would be so grown-up. But with greater age brings more responsibility and more things expected of you. In some ways I am no farther then I was last year. But in other ways I am. Time marches on and does not wait for us. Seeing all the events of last year dare I ask, 'What will this year bring?' <input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"><!--Session data--><input onclick="jsCall();" id="jsProxy" type="hidden"><div id="refHTML"></div><input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"><!--Session data--><input onclick="jsCall();" id="jsProxy" type="hidden"><div id="refHTML"></div>Emilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05782108567999381686noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1657149238504294419.post-63168012401877116772011-05-18T19:04:00.002-04:002011-05-18T19:11:20.780-04:00Something Funny!So my Grandmother brought over a little story. I don't know where she got it or who wrote it but it is so funny that I decided to put it on my blog. 'A father was approached by his small son who told him proudly. "I know what the Bible means!" His father smiled and replied. "What do you mean, 'you know what the Bible means?" The son replied, "I do know!" "Okay", said his father. "What does the Bible mean?" "That's easy, Daddy." The young boy replied excitedly. "It stands for 'Basic Information Before Leaving Earth.' I thought that this was funny and hope you all enjoy it.<input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"><!--Session data--><input onclick="jsCall();" id="jsProxy" type="hidden"><div id="refHTML"></div>Emilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05782108567999381686noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1657149238504294419.post-39788794675343016962011-05-13T18:28:00.003-04:002011-05-13T19:04:27.849-04:00Happy Birthday Megan!<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8nfplth-jKy786F8ybgCgpiYKCsscoimlkvzIJOurN_Rxg0E9BAWfwA1c2HtfKsg4UaMGuureOQ9lidbOtNo7o2FMRxFUb5vEzYDfGP9scdmmsoaWaFRpCBoNZaBWx1NnTKqfhu3cDOvF/s1600/megan.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8nfplth-jKy786F8ybgCgpiYKCsscoimlkvzIJOurN_Rxg0E9BAWfwA1c2HtfKsg4UaMGuureOQ9lidbOtNo7o2FMRxFUb5vEzYDfGP9scdmmsoaWaFRpCBoNZaBWx1NnTKqfhu3cDOvF/s320/megan.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5606340132042571922" border="0" /></a><br />Happy Birthday Megan!

Still a little down, but getting better. Anyway, I have been feeling a little hyper. I know that Hannah can get hyper and just downright funny to watch and listen to after she's been sick. But I never realized that I get like that. But seriously I feel like jumping up and down or singing at the top of my lungs or getting together with a bunch of girls and being goofy. (Not that doesn't happen even when I'm not hyper.) But I guess you could also attribute it to cabin fever. I am so sick of snow. But very happy with the fact that it was snowing this morning and it has stopped and all the snow that fell has retreated. YES! But to get back on track (as most of you know it is very easy for me to get off track) my question is, have you ever gotten hyper after getting sick? It's interesting because most people will feel better and then go and do stuff and end up feeling worse after-wards. So I am trying not to do to much. Hmm... maybe I should go run laps around the house. (Yeah-right!) Have a blessed day!<input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"><!--Session data--><input onclick="jsCall();" id="jsProxy" type="hidden"><div id="refHTML"></div>Emilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05782108567999381686noreply@blogger.com0
