Alcohol: Drink or Deathbringer (updated)

Drink. One of the needs and wants of the past, pressent and future. Can be plain and flavored in anyway. But of all the drinks in the world, there is one you should avoid. Alcohol! Whether it's wine or beer, shots or cocktails. Whether the company is Coors Light, Budweiser, Molson Canadian, Bud Light First of all it dulls your senses, so you feel all drowsy, second it tears apart families, third your all energetic after you drink it then your body crashes, next its behind many vehicle accidents which kill a lot of people, drink it too much it could kill you. It makes me want to punch the guys that make them in the face. And if you think I'm joking, try it, 'cause it will make your life miserable. word of wisdom FORBIDS consumption. But there is a bright side. It's used for cleansing of the body! NOT the satisfaction of the tongue. o here's my advice if you had a choice of drinking a DROP of alcohol or being beheaded by a guillotine. Choose beheading! You'll like it way better than Alcohol: the most dreaded drink. Plus in Edmonton, there are more beer advertisements now than there were in May 2012, it was in 80% of all the ads I saw at Cineplex! And besides who would want to drink all that radioactive liquid they call a drink (more like a poison.)

Pornography: Pictures or Poison

Pictures. They can build cities, and they could level them. It could help, and it could hurt. It can benefit good and evil. It could inspire, and discourage. But there is one kind that you MUST avoid. Pornography. It targets young and old. Religious and non-religious. Male and female. It appears in movies magazines, posters etc. But the most common place is the internet. 376 people type in mature search engines a second and one pornographic video is made every half an hour! It makes fun of the human body and does not take it seriously. It tears apart families amd breaks relationships. No offense ladies but it's girls that appear mostly in pornography. Here's my advice. If you had a choice just viewing one inappropriate picture or going to prison, CHOOSE PRISON. You'll enjoy it way better than some dumb photograph!

The Tabacco Torment

In this post, I am teaching you about the dangers of Tobacco. You see a lot of people do it today, whenever it's smoking or chewing. The side effects are nasty. It contains 2000 chemicals, 40 of which cause Cancer! It could lead to coughing, wheezing, yellow teeth, stomach cramps and other diseases. It can lead to death as well. The ingredients are Tar, rat poison tobacco, nicotine, window cleaner, arsenic, toilet cleaner, mirror coating, many flavors, sugar and battery acid. Chewing Tabacco gives you an upset stomach. Not to mention it's a violation of the Word of Wisdom because Joseph Smith received revelation of it long before science knew the dangers. But believe it or not there is a bright side. Unlike the people of today, aboriginals used it as a medicine and for healing cattle. It isn't that bad that way and the word of wisdom allows that kind of use. And the people who make them they are like murderers. Just because the movie stars do it does NOT mean YOU should.

Scout Camp 2

Sorry about the delay, anyway this is a post about My latest scout camp. Before I left my mother packed my stuff and drove me over to Brother Easthopes' house. There I met Bradley Pireson and headed to Camp Warwa. In fact where I was, If you go north for half an hour, you will reach my Grandpa and Grandma Shipley's house which I will be visiting during Teacher's Convention and the weekend. Once I got there I had dinner (which was chili) played tetherball had a fireside and played 'find the deacons.' me and Brad chose a hiding spot and lied completely still. When I made a run for it, a flashlight spotted me, but the guy holding it didn't. Whenever I was standing motionless when the light passed over me I wasn't spotted, but I was caught anyway. Before bedtime we slept in cabins that was loaded with bunk beds bunk beds. But before bed, my roommate Bradley told me about CARNIVOROUS SQUIRRELS!!!!! They gnaw through the roof and kill you! Then they burrow through your muscles and eat your organs, skin, buff and all! I couldn't sleep for 2 hours! But I pulled out Preach My Gospel and reading it drived it out of my mind. The next morning was a rude awakening. I was waken up at 7:30 (the time I usually wake up for school) and if I didn't, they throw me in the lake! So I got up, changed into my clothes and went for breakfast. After that was the fun and games! First we did fire starting . We got some dead grass, dry leaves and wood then we model fires (with matches). Then we did cross country skiing, which is nothing like ordinary skiing. You do it on flat land. There was some downhill action but the terrain wasn't pleasent. I had a few falls on sticks and bumpy terrain but I had fun. Then was the vertical playground, where you climb wood, tires, ladders etc. after that we sang songs then went to bed. Next morning we had breakfast then more activities! First we did dodgeball, whe go on the lake and pelt each other with spheres. I on my team was really good. I was hardly hit until the very end. I was like Samuel the lamanite all the arrows (balls) missed me like God was protecting me with some kind of forcefield. Then we had broomball. We used brooms not hockey sticks to score goals. I was having fun until someone accidently hit me with a broom. It hurt but that was nothing compared to my fractured arm and my seven minor wounds (parody of the seven deadly sins). Much later we had a closing fireside and left for home.

I had a fun time but there is no place like home!

Entertainment to enterpainment

This blog post talks about entertainment and media. Films, Tv shows, Texting, Social Networking, Internet, Websites, blogs, Video chat, e-mail computer and video games, they all seem to make our earth life easier and fun. But there is a dark side to everything especially sin. First of all there is a lot of dangerous stuff on the web, such as computer viruses, worms, spyware, malware, trojans, spam, cyberbullies, people and websites that steal private information and money! Plus there are ads that advertise pornography, alcohol, drugs, smoking and other sins. Plus even though games are fun, they might hold bad content. That is why there are rating systems. And all this stuff might keep us away from, friends, family and church! The mind is really deciving, what may seem harmless and carefree, could be violent and vulgar. My do something called tech time which limits my time on games, computer etc.to 90 min. a day. But when it's saturday she letsme go nuts. Now that I told you about it, why don't you try it?

Teenager Times

Hours before my birthday when we were showing Grandma Bonny our trip to Thailand , it was 11:40 pm, my brother told me that in 20 min it would be Jan. 3rd, my birthday. When it was Midnight, my family gave me an early happy birthday. When I woke up that morning, I was finally a teenager. My goals are to be a good teen and deacon by reading scriptures and praying daily. Later that evening, me and Grandpa Bob bought a cake, my dad ordered Thai food, and mom wrapped my presents. Before we ate, I opened my presents from everyone. They were a book on Chinese Proverbs, an App Store $15 doller gift card, $10 and 77 cents, 3 Nintendo Wii games which were Nicktoons vs. MLB Super Mario Strikers and Lego Harry Potter. I also got three games for my Computer. They were Ages of Empires III, Ages of Empires III Asian Dynasties and Battlefield 1942. But when I got all those nice things I felt kind of bad because there is a lot of people in the world who don't even get those kinds of gifts. So I felt grateful for what I got.

Christmas and the New year

In this post Ilike to talk about Christmas. When I dicovered that Christmas was on a sunday, at first I was disappointed because I won't be able to play anything, but overtime I discoverd that Christmas was extra special on sundays because we get to know the nativity more. what I really wanted for Christmas was a Wii and a Rosetta Stone Mandarin, but mom said they were expensive, but on Christams Day, I got them!!!!!
The reason why because I never lost faith, trust and hope. On Christmas Day I got a big package, but when I opened it the was a small present inside instead of a big gift. Biggest lie of the week! But when I opened the small present. It was my Rosetta Stone Mandarin! Her's some advice, the greatness of the gifts you get are not by size but value. A large gift may have a small value. while a tiny gift may have an enormous value. Next time it's December i'm going remember the Nativity more.
For the new year, i'm going study the scriptures more often, be better in school and be a good deacon and live a rightous life by passing the sacrament and not playing bad video games.
Remember, keep the Christ in Christmas.
