On facebook my dad did this birthday wish thing. It's like asking you to donate money to a cause for his birthday. He was asking people to donate to stop abortion. There was also a little story as to why you wanted people to donate to stop abortion. Here's what my dads said.
"This is why I care
I had a girlfriend in college who got pregnant, told me she was pregnant, and then got an abortion without my knowing it. Since then I have fathered 5 children, all of whom I love very much. If abortion had been illegal at the time, I would have 6 children to love. Hardly a day has gone by in 24 years that I have not thought of "who could have been", and to this day it pains me to think about it. I am STRONGLY against abortion. I believe life begins at conception and anything done to end that life is murder. I do not abdicate violence against abortion clinics, or the people who use them, but if people truly understood the love that Christ has for them, they would not be able to commit such a horrible act. Christian Adoption Services provides an alternative to abortion, while exposing people to Christ's love who may not experience it anywhere else. My son/daughter would have been 23 this year. That is the ammount I am requesting be donated in honor of him or her."
So, in other words, today I found out that I have a brother or sister, who was murdered before they even had the chance to live. Abortion was already something which I hated and was against, but knowing now that one of my siblings life was taken by it makes me hate it so much more. I could have had an older brother or sister but instead their mother decided without my dad that she did not want them. She was so selfish to not only take away that childs life but take away something from my father me and all my other sisters and brother.
Abortion IS wrong because it IS murder under any circumstances. Like my dad said there are other options then abortion. There is nothing or no one I hate more than abortion, if you believe that it's wrong, please donate to this cause, for my brother or sister who wasn't given a choice of life.

Money Money Money!
Work is something that every person must come to at some point in their life. My experience with work started rather prematurely compared to most. As most people know I am only 14 but just last Wednesday I got my first job. I now work the counter (answering phones and ringing people up) at Franks Pizza. Franks is a local place where I live owned by a family that goes to my church . I have loved working there but the real work hasn't really started. Today is my first day I work by myself, this whole week I've been in training with Chelsea.
I'm not nervous, if anything I'm excited, I just don't know how I'm going to do. I'm sure I will do just fine but everyone has their irrational fears right? Yesterday I was so stressed out. I was already very tired because I haven't slept good in a bit and so this woman called and starts yelling at me for a mistake I didn't make and she's just being a complete bitch about everything. I handled her but then Robbin told me I needed to just give the phone to her or a waitress on duty if someone called back like that even though Melanie told me to offer them to bring it back and make them another one and then if that didn't work offer them a free one next time they came which I did I offered both and then she hung up so I couldn't give the phone to someone else.
Liam and I figured out how much money I would get in my paycheck and it's about 130 dollars. It won't be like that every week because this last week I worked every day starting Wednesday because I was in training. I'm first going to get a new phone and then put minutes on my phone, then I'm going to buy a phone with a cord. After that I will just get my paycheck as about 75.00$ a week and I will put half of it in the bank and the other half I will save until I have the amount I want for my phone and then I will use the rest to buy things I want. I'm excited about having this job because it means I'll be making more than 40 dollars a month. Now I will be making about 300.00 a month but then half of all that will go into the bank so I will have about 150 dollars a month to spend on whatever I want. I'm excited. =)
The cellphone I want is about 80.00$ and to get unlimited texts and minutes it would cost about 70.00$ which would leave me with 80.00$.

For An Impossible Torn Heart
The other day I began contemplating life and death. I started thinking of my life and how I have been living it. To be honest I haven't lived my life the way I would like to. Obviously, like anyone else, I want to do good and be a good person and not sin at all. Again, obviously, that's impossible.
I wonder what my life will end up as, if it will be like a plan (wealthy, many kids, married happily, working at home as a computer programmer) or if it will be exactly like it was been my whole life. Hopefully I can at least get the many kids and happily married down, the wealth and job I want is just an added bonus. As I was thinking of my life and what it would be like I suddenly realized that one day I WAS going to die and there was nothing I nor anyone else could do, and even though I don't want to die if I did have eternal life everyone I loved would be dead and gone and there would be no point in living any more.
The thought of death scares me because I'm afraid of forgetting everyone I love. I don't want to leave them such as my friends as they are now and my future kids and my future life. Knowing I am going to heaven makes it a little better, but I still won't want to leave them and the idea of being in heaven scares me. Will I remember who I was on earth and my friends and family that I once had that I will meet in heaven. The unknowing of death scares me more than the concept of death itself.
I do not know when I am going to die, but if everything goes according to plan I won't be dying for a very long time, which means I have time to straighten myself out. It upsets me that Liam accepts hell as his fate, there isn't really anything I can do. If Liam believe he is going to hell nothing is going to change his mind, it upsets me because I don't want him to be hurt and I'm going to heaven and I would really like to be there with him. Hopefully he, also, will straighten out before he dies.

Letters of the Heart
As most everyone knows I just got back from the beach. The beach, for the most part, was relaxing. Sometimes I got lonely and would just sit on the beach with my feet in the waves.
Very recently I read about the "Blogs of Note" I've made it my goal to eventually get on this list. Most of the people are experienced writers and some are writing about life others are writing for a specific reason. I think it would be good if I was on the list because it's no longer about the adults. In brings in a whole new view of life.
Most of the people already on the Blogs of Note are older women, if a teenager was on there it would be expressing note only the older womens opinions but also the younger ladies. I would like to make a difference in the world someday. By having many people read my blog I could make a difference. I don't know what exactly it takes to be a Blog of Note or even how to propose the idea.
In truth my goal in life is to live until I'm 100, I know it's something that i have little to no control over but still something i would like to accomplish. I know that obviously everyone has some sort of impact on the amount of people they know but I really want to make a difference in the world, not just give somebody some good advice which might put them down a better road then they were on. I want my words to make people think and teach people lessons.
I know at this time I am not the best writer in the world, but hopefully with time and the help of this blog I can achieve that goal. Writing was never something I had considered as a career. At first I wanted to be a ballerina princess, when I was 4. I then wanted to be an actress, but after I started watching crime shows where actors were getting murdered I gave up that dream. I then wanted to be a chef, that dream was taken by my older sister who after I decided I wanted to be a chef decided she did also and proceeded to have an internship with an actual chef. I then gave up on that dream.
For a while then I had no idea what I wanted to do. I began playing more online games and came to the conclusion that I wanted to become a graphic designer and make games, my all time dream being to become the CEO of Three Rings. Writing was always my sisters thing. 1st place winner in young authors every year she went to school. I can never live up to her, I've tried. I got third place in young authors poetry. I read many books, I write many things in the hopes that one day my writing will mean something to someone somewhere.
