sigh... nothing much going on here to post about.
Yesterday there was a really cool thunderstorm. It was big too. I fell in love with the way it snaked across the sky, sending little fingers of electricity in every direction, like it was reaching for something just out of its grasp. Lightning is like a person. Thunder is its voice. Every now and again, it just can't keep silent, and starts talking and moving like an energetic little child.
When I was younger it used to sing me to sleep; lulling my reluctant eyes shut with its deep, powerful, melodic voice. Sometimes I tried to sing along with the thunder, roaring at the top of my lungs in time with its heavenly beat. I tried to dance like the lightning, jumping left and right and up and down like the blue-lined streaks that stretched the sky.
The best part about lightning is the fire. It's like a thick rope of concentrated fire, reaching down from Heaven to pull something back up with it. It might hit a tree or a lake or anything else, but once you've seen the beauty of lightning, you can never forget it.
Okay, there's my poetic notion for today. :-) It seems I may be able to make something out of seemingly nothing; or maybe I can simply find what not many people can see. I can look beneath the surface.
Keep on praying!!!

P.S. Pray for a family in my church. They just lost a loved one and they need support and love and prayers to get them through this tough time.

The Dad With The Healing Touch
My dad has got to be the coolest guy in the world...
My sister Abby's mp3player was broken and it was playing like, skipping kind of, but it was more like the music was shaking. I told her how Dad had fixed mine the other day because it had been doing the exact same thing. I tried to show him what it was doing, but when he touched it to put the ear bud in his ear, the shaking stopped.
So I told Abby to give it to him. She handed it to him and all he did was hold it for a few seconds and the thing was fixed!!! When he gave it back to her, it stopped shaking. The song she had on there that never played right, even when all the other songs played right fixed itself and sounded perfect.
I love my dad. He's got these neat little, I don't know, tricks that he does. It's almost like he's got the healing touch or something, because when he touches something, anything, even a person, whatever is wrong gets a little better or sometimes goes away completely. It's unbelievably cool.
Keep talking with God,
Katy

Happy Anniversary Granmaw and Gramps!!!!
Aww, so sweet. Their anniversary was a day after Mothers' Day. My Granmaw and Gramps had a wicked fun time. The whole family came over and we celebrated and ate cake and watched stuff on youtube...
My Granmaw's got brain cancer, but she's fighting it well!!! :) Pray that she keeps fighting it and that it will go away completely. The cancer had originally been in three major places, but the surgery she had cleaned two of those big parts. I don't really get the terminology and all the details and stuff, but she's doing better.
I used to get wicked depressed about it and freak out a lot (which I still do sometimes...), but praying and talking to people about it has really helped me to deal with it.
The only stories I ever hear about cancer is when the person dies or it gets cured and then comes back in some way or another. But what I didn't take from those stories was the fact that they were fighters, and even when it came back, they fought and overcame it. I used to look at it with a "the glass is half empty" kind of thing, like it was just going to get worse, but I don't do that anymore, and I'm a lot less worried about it.
I think part of that has to do with my family and my friends at church. I've talked to my mom about it a bunch of times and she's really reassured me that everything is doing well and that Granmaw's on her way to a full recovery. I talk with my youth leader about it a lot too. Thanks a bunch you guys!!! You've all helped me more than you could know.
Gramps and I have gotten a whole lot closer than we were before. It used to be just a "Hello." as I walked in the house and a "Goodbye." as I left, but I had a really good conversation with him the other day. We talked about camping and he told me about what it was like to be a jewler and how much he loved it. I had a lot of fun and I learned so much from him.
I just want them both to know how unbelieveably special they are to me and that I care about them so much.
I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!!!!
Keep praying!!

Happy Mother's Day!!! / Hindenburg Project
Happy Mother's Day!!!!!!!!!
Anyone know anything about the Hindenburg Disaster? I'm doing a report on it and I need information. Ten notecards are due by Monday (tomorrow), and I don't have any of them done...

A Broken Printer, And An Inevitable Week Of DC Migranes
Okay, so my printer is broken. and I'm really sad because i have to like, fix it before my report is due. Which is soon. So let's hope i can fix it. Umm....
This Washington DC trip that I'm going to be doing with my school is not gonna be fun. I'm not allowed to bring my mp3player, and I SLEEP with that thing. I CANNOT sleep without it. And i know that most people say that just because they don't want to leave all technology at home when they go away to a camp or a school trip or something, but it's TRUE. I haven't slept without music a day in my life. The one time I lost my mp3player, I did not sleep at all. I tried, for ten hours, but I couldn't. Yeah, and I had a math test the next day which I slept through half of. Whoops. Mr. s was NOT happy with me, but i kinda passed. 78%.... not too good for me, I usually ace them.
But anyway, so I'm not allowed to bring it, except my dad says he's going to get a doctor's not that says I HAVE TO bring it for medical reasons. I LOVE my dad to bits and pieces, and my teachers hate me because I'm a rebel, but whatever!!! I can keep my MUSIC!!!!
One minor drawback...
I have to take all the non-christian music off of my mp3player. I'm SO sad. And it's not like i have disgusting songs with obscene lyrics. I mean, COME ON, I'm a pastor's kid for crying out loud. Almost all of my music is christian anyways, but I have to get rid of my Linkin Park songs, and Three Days Grace, Taking Back Sunday, Nickelback, and Haste The Day. wait, I think they might be christian... Okay, so everything except for Haste The Day. I'm so lucky I have Underoath on there and Anberlin and Relient K and Barlow Girl and Casting Crowns and Third Day and Mercyme and Needtobreathe. If I didn't, I think I would die anyways.
But I mean, it's NOT fair!!! My favorite songs are Three Days Grace and Linkin Park and Nickelback. I think I have like, 30 songs by them on there and they're all my favorites, but I have to get rid of them. It's NOT fair! I have to get the new Anberlin CD and the latest Underoath CD.
Those are NEEDS.
Ugh... *tear tear*
Okay, well, pray for me guys!!!
see y'all later,
Katy
