God-ly friends

Hi guys!

I just got done talking to one of my best friends on the phone. Chrissy-Robin and I talk a ton, email and visit each other for weeks at a time. We have known each other for five years, and we love each other like sisters. We are still the best of friends, even when I moved seven hours away and we only got to see each other three times that year.

But there are some things we just don't agree on. Like whether the word Applachian is pronounced Apple-a-chin or Apple-A-shin; or whether Primer is pronounced pri-mer or pry-mer. Sometimes, its on issues like if those pants go with that shirt, or whether purses and make-up are cool.

One of the issues we don't exactly agree on is religion. I don't believe that Jesus will come back in the same way she does, and she doesn't believe about the Sabbath the same way that I do. But either way, we are still best friends! We still both eat sandwiches, even if she likes ham and I like turkey. We still both like American Girls and Barbies. We both still like to lay in bed at night, talking tell we drift to sleep at sleep-overs.

The main thing is we both worship the same God, we both believe Jesus will come back, and that the only way to heaven is by accepting Him as your Savior, which we have both done! Thursday night we were talking on the phone. Somehow the subject turned to God and the end times. We both expressed our views on the subject, and then came to this conclusion: Jesus is coming back. Maybe one of us is right. Maybe one of us is wrong. Maybe we are both wrong on some points and both right on others. But we need to respect each others view points and know certain things about each other's beliefs on that subject. If we were missionaries in another country, that is exactly the skills we would need to survive! We would need to build friendships with the people we are witnessing to, then start to talk to them about our religion. But to do that we need to respect them!

That is what I got from our conversation. Maybe Chrissy-Robin got a different point. I would like to hear your view on the subject. I don't really know how to work the comments :o) but please send me an email with your belief about approaching other people, believers or non-believers, about the end-times, or any doctrinal thing. I am so glad I have friends I can talk with about God. Really, it is fun to debate on things like this!

Days in the Hundred-Acre-Wood

Today has been a pretty good day, though kind of gloomy outside. Everybodys school is done and we are just kind of relaxing.

Eeyore, Roo, and Piglet are playing cars on the floor. Its really wierd, even my dad gets into playing with toy cars! He went out and bought us a long plastic track to race on; we had this little board that was really hard to drive on before. We all sit on the floor for hours racing our cars and laughing like crazy!

I am the oldest kid. I live with my dad, "Rabbit", my mom, "Kanga", and my sister and brothers, "Piglet", "Eeyore", "Roo," (they named themselves, trust me!); and my darling (though kinda sick at the moment) pets, Bobby, Clifford, and Chippy. I am totally, definitly, "Pooh"! But the name Pooh is so...

Anyway, I wanted to start this blog to keep in touch with all of my friends, because we moved a year ago, and I have been really, really, really bad about writing. So maybe this will help me out a little.

It will also be a record for pictures and videos and such. This Autumn our computer crashed and with it went all of our pictures and videos from the last year!! So I will have to keep this blog updated with pictures. All of us in the Hundred-Acre-Wood and our friend, "Chrissy-Robin" (she's a girl, so we are going to have to change that slightly!) made movie remakes of Little Red Riding Hood and Repunzel, which were also on the computer. If we ever get them back, I will have to show them to you, they are hilarious!

So I hope you enjoyed this first post. I am still learning to write, so hopefully this will also be educational.

Oh, and you might be wondering about the blog name. A few months ago I decided that our family needed a business, and a hooligan care would be just the thing! My dad would be the CEO, my mom the COO, and we would be their first hooligans! The name I made up is kind of catchy, if I do say so myself. So I made it a blog! icanhazfriendz is just something I made up.
