Escape into a Book

I love reading, but what I love most, is the fact that I can imagine it all in my head. Some people hate reading, but I've never understood why. Books can show you worlds that we can never experience. Movies are great, but they don't let you imagine and create everything as you want it. Books can show you a world of wonder, and escaping into them can take you from a hike up Mount Everest to a extrordinary world of fairies and magic. Books open your eyes to new ideas and they let you grow as a person. Your mind can have new doors opened for it, and you can connect to the characters in a way that can let you feel what they feel, and you can feel for them as if you are a part of the book.
Don't even tell me that you hate reading because you can't find a book that "interests you." There are thousands...millions of books out there, so there is no way you have read them all! There is a book that fits everybody. Books show you another world, but you have to be the one to pick them up.

Power of the Mind

It hurts my head to think about the power of it. Just at the mention of the human body,I could go into so much detail about how I am facinated with what God has created. However, I'll save that for another post. The Mind: nobody really understands it. Sure, I mean, you could say brain surgeons understand it, but they just understand how to fix it. They don't understand it necessarily as a whole. How is it possible to remember things that happened when we were 2 years old, or how can the brain comprehend and reason? It's so complex I'm having a hard time righting about it. :) It just astounds my every second of my life. How are we able to think up things that never happened, or how we can learn and grow as a person? It just...I don't know...but I love talking about it. I'm glad people havn't figured this kind of thing out though. Because if they had, what would we spend time thinking about?

How can Space go on Forever?

We have often thought about how people say space goes on forever. We have gotten into this topic mutiple times, and it lasts for hours. I mean, how CAN it just go on forever? We havn't been past our solar system, so how do we know it just continues on? It just doesn't make sence, nothing goes on forever. Not life, not string, not the day, or a book. Ok, so numbers go on forever, but how can that be? Are people still making up the numbers that coninue the line of numbers? Has the government hired someone to think up what to call the new sets of numbers? Even numbers have come to an end even though people say they continue on forever, because nobody has come up with enough of them to go on forever. So really, something has to be past space. It's not possible, from my view, for it to just continue.
When I was little I used to think that people, and all of the planets were inside of a snowglobe that some other kid had that lived in a world so much bigger then ours, but then he must be in a snowglobe too, right? However I know that that thought makes no sense now. Anyways, see what I mean? This topic could fuel a conversation forever! (But how would the conversation really go on forever? Kind of redundant to what I was just talking about, huh??)

Please comment, we REALLY want to know what you have to say about this topic! :)

Chicken or the Egg?

Which came first: the chicken or the egg? Most people don't share my opinion that the chicken was first, but really? How would the egg survive without the chicken? I mean, I know it sounds dumb, but doesn't the chicken have to sit on the egg to get it to survive? It's not like they had incubators back at the beginning of life! I know a lot of people woud say: "Well don't chickens hatch from eggs?" The answer is yes, but where does the egg come from? It doens't just go "POOF!" and appear. So, if one or the other had to come first, it only makes sense for the chicken to come first. I mean, just think about it. In the Bible it says that God put two of each animal on the earth to reproduce, soooo the chickens came first!!! And then they layed the egg. (not while they were teenagers ;))!

Teen Pregnancy

I've always been a strong believer in saving sex for marriage, but why do so few people share that same belief? A lot of people have kids at our school. (probably 20 kids have kids.)I don't understand why they can't wait for marriage. And those aren't the only kids, there are a lot of other kids who have done it, but didn't get pregnant. I just don't get why you wouldn't see the problem and danger that comes with what you are doing. I mean, you hear about it all the time from health teachers, you'd think they'd get the message. And the terrible thing about it is, that those kids who have their own kids, are probably kids of parents who did the same thing. So the same trend continues down the family until the grandma is only 30 years older than her granddaughter. It's just really sad that people do that to themselves at such a young age.
I also think that when people say "not as many people are having sex as it seems," they are wrong. That many people ARE doing it. When they get surveys, i think a lot of them lie on them, because those numbers seem a lot less than my calculations...
What do you think?

Please leave comments of anything you would like to add or of your thoughts, thanks!

Free Rice/ Free Kibble

Both of these sites give food for those in need. Free Rice donates 10 grains of rice to help stop hunger for each question that you get right! It's addicting and it helps stop hunger! Free Kibble, gives 10 peices of dog food and 10 peices of cat food for each dog/cat trivia question, even if you get it wrong. They only let you answer one question for each animal though, so make sure to go back everyday!
