Today we started the Gospel of Luke. Through when Caesar Augustus had a census and when Jesus was left at the Synagogue in Jerusalem after Passover when he was 12. In history we learned about King Louis XIV of France, the Sun King. He had statues in his palace of many Greek gods with his face. We also learned about the English Civil War.

NATO WORRIED OVER RUSSIAN “ZAPAD” WAR GAMES

by  • 

The US and many other members of NATO expressed concern over Russia’s Zapad (meaning West) war games in Belarus, Russia’s ally. European nations had extra cause for concern as they think it could be preparation for a continental scaled war. The last time Zapad was held in Belarus troops left over in the country invaded Ukraine a year later. Ground and airborne units including The First Tank Army have been sent to Belarus to participate. The backstory of the games are to fight a fake “Western coalition” of the imaginary countries Lubenia, Vesbaria and Veishnoria who NATO claims have subtle similarities to Poland, Lithuania and Latvia.

TRUMP VISITS FLORIDA AFTER HURRICANE IRMA

by  • 

United States President Donald Trump visited Florida for three hours Thursday September 14, his third as president to the South for post-hurricane related reasons. Since his first, to Corpus Christie, Texas, he has grown more and more personal in his actions after being criticized for not being so. This visit worked at a stand handing out sandwiches and talked to the victims promising better futures. Hurricane Irma killed a total of 38 people including 8 elderly living residents from hyperthermia (human overheating, or advanced heat stroke). 64 nursing homes in Florida did not have fully-functioning air-conditioning September 15. Employees of those places have had to evacuate and hand out ice and popsicles. 25% of the state was also without power.

NORTH KOREA LAUNCHES SECOND MISSILE INTO OCEAN

North Korea launched another missile into the North Pacific Ocean September 15. It flew approximately 2,300 miles, the longest flight of any past North Korean missile. Similar to the last one about a month ago it went over Japan setting off alarms and warning text messages. There was no known damage caused. North Korea has been considering the US troops stationed in South Korea and Japan “hostility”.

In Algebra 1 I had a test about inequalities. In History we learned about the fall of the Mogul emperors and the start of the Dutch East India Company. For my Science experiment I needed empty soda cans but on our diet we can’t have any so we gave some to our neighbors to get the cans. In Bible was Jesus arrested, Peter’s denial and the woman with the alabaster box of perfume. Jesus said she would be told about wherever the gospel was preached when people criticized her. Over the weekend I read the rest of Genesis and three chapters of Exodus.

I feel better today and I think everyone else does too. We are going to meet Dad at his work at lunch today. In Algebra 1 I learned about systems of two variable inequalities. They skipped teaching me how to do it without the graph like they usually do and went right to it. In The BBC Manual we read about tools for memorization and meditation and how to use Strong’s Bible Concordance. In the real Bible Jesus talked about the end of the world and it sounded like Revelation. We have not done The Ghost of Tokaido Inn yet and we do not have poems. Yesterday I read the rest of Genesis 5 I had not read. I also read How to Betray a Dragon’s Hero, the eleventh and second to last book in the How to Train Your Dragon series.

Today we still all feel bad but yesterday we finished the day’s work that we worked on for three days so we started a new day but I had already done most of it so all I had today was to finish Algebra 1 (only had to do 5 questions today), finish typing my Current Events (I had done one and half of three yesterday so I had the same today), take my Bible Memory test, finish writing my English assignment, take a test for Module 2 in Science and write this. We still have to do The Ghost of Tokaido Inn. Yesterday I finished Mark Twain A Reader and started The Bible (NIV translation) and How to Betray A Dragon’s Hero.
