We are learning about David and Solomon. David was a good, God fearing king, but he still made mistakes. But he was quick to admit his sin and God forgave him. Under David they had 10 times as much land as they had under the Judges. Solomon was wise, but he didn’t use his wisdom sometimes.

I like Octarain/Agustus better than his adopted father Caesar. He wasn’t power hungry like him, and he was willing to step down.

We learned about microbes in science today, we are mainly learning about Protists. Did you know that viruses are strands of DNA or RNA? And scientists debate whether they are alive or not because they don’t reproduce by themselfs and other such things.

In Bible today I had to make a comic about one of the stories about David in 1 Samuel. I chose David and Johnithin, I don’t know how to spell Johnithins name right. It took a long time, I did stick figures and wrote a little bit of the story. But I had to rewrite some things to have enough room to write what they say, but it is a very shortened version. I showed David and Johnithin talking before, the hiding place, Saul saying David must die, and Johnithin shooting arrows. I know there is a few more parts, but I had to make it shorter. I thought it was interesting that it was Davids idea to lie to Saul, I didn’t really think about it before.

Today was another loooooooong day of school, we learned about wind tunnels and air pressure in science, as well as a way that they made to prevent gasses from building up, it breaks down the molecules in the gasses, then they are pretty harmless. That is a great way to cut down on any greenhouse gasses, and it would help air pollution too. We also learned about cube worlds, it is a little bit odd, but it might be interesting to watch.

To the moon and back, in my sports utility vehicle?

There have been some flying cars spotted in California. They are so top secret the company Zee.Aero, won’t disclose anything, not even what they are doing. They have a patented, and we know of at least several types with different kinds of motors, they have vertical lift, they hover and land nicely. It is not very loud according to Steve Eggleston, the assistant manager of a airplane parts company in Hollister California. Zee.Aero has purchased a landing strip, and may be close to a scientific breakthrough. They have some of the best scientists working for them, so maybe we will be going “to the moon and back,” in the near future.

Today we went on a field trip to places that I am about to tell you what are, we dropped off donations at savers, did a walmart pick up, went in to get eggs and pledge because it was too late to add those. Went to the library, and got an awesome movie about ballet. Took lunch to dad because he forgot it, realized that we didn’t get him turkey, so he only had bread and an apple, (in hindsight I am really glad that I added an apple) went partly to the store with dad, realized that we had a bunch of refrigerated stuff in the back that had been waiting for a hour, turned around dropped him off and went home to get the stuff in the fridge. Then it was lunch, so we ate lunch, and then did school. I didn’t finish because I had a test in math, (Dad decided that he didn’t want me starting pre-algebra yet) and a big thing for Bible, I have to look up and then write down almost everything I can find about Israel’s enemies, and now it is 8:00 I haven’t finished school and I am going to have to do it tomorrow, (by the way  am singing the song from Annie) and I think you are crazy to be reading this because I am crazy and have lost my marbles, literally, I lost almost all of them. And now I am rambling on and on, and I am misspelling words that I am sure I know, and I would be kind of surprised if you are understanding more than half of what you are reading. Adi tried to color Reed’s hair green, but I stopped her, and now that I have bored you with almost every little thing that came to mind I shall wrap it up, figuratively.  If I had said that all in one breath I would be red as a cherry right now.

Voting day, wow. I trust that God will take care of our country as it plunges into this misery, He will take care of us if Trump or Hillary is President.

For Bible I got to choose out of several women to read about, I choose Abigail, because my leader in church is named Abigail and I thought it would be interesting to learn more about her namesake. She was the wife of Nabal and then David.

We finally finished our science book!!! I was so happy that for a second I didn’t care who gets to be President, that was until I learned that if Hillary Clinton wins, my world and many others will be turned upside down,

Today mom wasn’t feeling well so we didn’t do science or history. So I won’t have that much to write about today, but I can tell you some of what we did do, so here it goes..

We did do Bible, did you know that Samson was strong enough to lift and carry for miles uphill a weight heavier than a van???

Today we read several chapters of the Trojan War, it is a long book. It is really hard to understand, and mom is also having trouble with the names. We did science and it was about how bodyflight works. It would be really cool but a bit scary to bodyfly.

I wrote a limerick, before you read it I would like you to know that they’re not supposed to make sense.

An Ode to Popcorn

By Vella Karman

Popcorn, oh popcorn in a hat

Popcorn, oh popcorn what do you think of that

Delicious and yummy

Popcorn in my tummy

It is even delicious to a cat

Now all I have to do is convince mom to let me have popcorn. The orthodontist is fine with it, but mom isn’t. :):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):)

Maybe new library in Pine Bluff

by  • 

Pine Bluff may get a new library, it will be on the ballot for the 8th. The old one flooded and is in a bad location. The population is dropping and this might help. It will probably be on main street if it passes. We will see if it passes very soon.

Today we did a bunch of science, about several days. I t took a long time. As you know it’s Friday but we are doing a four day week because of the field trip and stuff. I have a lock-in tonight.
