Summer Job
I have been looking for a summer job and found one at a day camp. So I applied and had my interview. Then last night I got a call from one of the employers saying that they will hire me. So I got the job and have to go to a CPR training course on Saturday. I know that the training is just the beginning but I am ready for all of it.

My Little Brother
About two weeks ago we had a service for a Royal Ranger Gold Medalist and at the service Caleb and Joshua had to be dressed in their uniform. I only have a picture of Josh at this time, so as soon as I get a picture of Caleb I will post it. 
Here's my brother.

Here are some pictures of the Homeschool fine arts festival.

Robyn and I did a human video to "Hero" by Superchick.
After everyone finished performing they honored the graduates. It was me, Savanah, and RJ.
After everyone got a snack Robyn's Debate class did their debate. It took them two hours. This is Robyn's team they were on the Affirmative side.

It's Caleb and Joshua about Thursday
I just thought that maybe Caleb and Joshua might want to say a few words on how their day went yesterday. So here is what they said.
From Caleb:
Hi. Yesterday I played with my two friends. We played Star Wars with toy lightsabers. And last night I went to my co-op's fine art festival and sang two songs with my choir class. The first one was about creation and the second was about God's love. After everyone performed we went down stairs to eat. It was fun.
From Joshua:
Yesterday I sang "In the Beginning" and "This is How We Know". Robyn and Ashley also performed a human video. And then I went down stairs to eat after everyone performed. After I was done eating I played with my Friends at co-op. When we were done playing I had to go home and go to bed. So that was my day.

What Is Praise?
What is praise?
Praise is a heart response which expresses adoration and gratefulness.
Who is to praise?
All creation including you and me. (Ps. 138)
Who is to be praised?
The Lord is to be praised for who He is and what He does.
1. He is majestic (Psalms 96:1, 6)
2. He is glorious (138:5)
3. He is excellent (148:13)
4. He is great (145:3)
5. He is powerful (21:13)
6. He exercises loving kindness (63:3)
7. He provides salvation (18:46)
8. He comforts (42:5)
9. He judges (101:1)
10. He counsels (16:7)
11. He exercises mercy (118:1-4; 136)
12. He forgives (103:1-3)
13. He protects (28:7; 59:17)
14. He delivers (40:1-3; 124:6)
15. He answers prayer (28:6; 118:21)
16. He gives spiritual blessings (103:2)
17. He gives material blessings (104:1, 14; 136:25)
18. He blesses daily (68:19)
Our self-sufficiency may cut us off from these great and constant blessings from the Lord. However, if we are as the blessed man in Psalm 1, we are receiving all of these blessings from the Lord.
When and where do we praise?
At all times and for everything (Ps. 34:1; 1 Thess. 5:18). We are to praise more and more (71:14). Our cold hearts and insensitive spirits need the continual warmth of praise for the Lord Himself and His daily blessings.
1. We praise when we awaken in the morning (Ps. 59:16)
2. We are to praise by silently thanking the Lord for blessings throughout the day. We tell the Lord we appreciate Him, that we are thankful for what He has brought into our life.
3. We praise by speaking to others of our thanks to the Lord (51:15).
4. We praise during church services, Bible class, and chapel if we sing praises from our hearts.
5. We are to enter into the presence of the Lord with praise. Our daily devotions should begin with a prayer of praise.
Why do we praise?
The Lord deserves our praise! We are commanded to praise Him (Ps. 150). The attitude and practice of praise transforms our lives into a psalm of praise which glorifies God.
How do we praise?
1. With understanding (Ps. 47:7).
2. With our whole heart (138:1).
3. With an attitude of praise developed through
A. learning to be grateful for ordinary events.
B. learning to see the benefit in every event in our lives.
C. learning to regularly express gratitude to other people.
D. regularly saying or singing the praises in the Psalms back to God.
