Young Hollywood

When young kids becomes actors their whole life becomes a huge spotlight. If they make one mistake the whole world knows about it. I think sometimes we forget their just kids. We see them act in movies and its as if we are there with them watching them grow up. Yet,we are just fans. Sometimes we are the harshest critic's out there. We see these child actors do their best at their job and they gain fame. But as they grow they start to become different. They try more things then they wouldn't have when they were kids. They become more outspoken,they struggle with the truth. That the world is watching them and waiting for a slip. Actresses like Lindsey and Miley, they were Disney channel stars and look at their lives now. They are grown and trying to figure out who they are. We are harsh and we crucify them for their mistakes. Or like Dakota fanning who has manged to stay humble. As people we want to think that these kids will remain the same. That they will be the way we want them to be. I'm not saying we should accept what their doing. But we should also look at ourselves. What mistakes have we made? Others have watched us too. We say we want these actors to be role models.Well are you a role model? We tell kids not to idolize actors. Because we want them to be well rounded. How about we stop blaming actors,and do what we can to change the standard. God is the only one who can judge anyone. How can we throw the first stone if we have been the first to sin, the first to hurt others with our words,and thoughts. Young Hollywood can be two things. Good and bad, lets not add to the bad. Lets lift these child actors up and wish them the best. May they find peace, and may we become good role models for others. Lets act as if were in the spotlight for once. What do you want others to see. Good or Bad?

They say my name is Hermione (9)

Mike and I sit at the computer. Looking at the pictures of the plane crash. My name though is not on the list of the people who were injured. Mike scrolls down the page to check once more. Suddenly he point's at a picture. I realize the picture is of me. Underneath the picture it says the name "Hermione Keller". I start to cry so hard that Mike hugs me. He tells me its okay, while I stare at the computer screen. Other then that we find out that there was technical problems that caused the plane to crash. Was that it? Seriously there was nothing else to find out? Suddenly Mike points at the screen again. He is pointing at the list of the dead. The third name on the list is a woman's name. It said, "Natasha Keller". Who was that? Mike looked at me and put his head down.

"What is it? " I asked.

"She's the reason why you stopped talking to Cindy," Mike said.

"Who is she?" I asked

"You never told us, you just said her name and said that it was better to end your friendship with Cindy. You totally freaked out on Cindy at the school dance a couple months ago. It was so out of the blue," Mike said.

What? Who is Natasha? What Influence does she have over my life? I was so confused by the time we decided to leave the library. We agreed to find out more. This Natasha was obviously related to me. We did have the same last name after all.

Crush the mellow

I love mellow. I like to sit and relax and just think about life. But society lives in a whole other type of style. They want instant gratification, and they want everything they think they deserve. But we entered this world with nothing and we will leave this world with nothing. So why are we so wrapped up in the world? It's like we have set our claws into the earth's ground. I try to mellow out by avoiding the world's level of living as often as I can. Though I can't always. Like tonight I didn't want to leave the church. Because when I stepped out of the doorway I was leaving the mellow zone. I was going into the big bad world. I wanted to cry, really. We should all have peace, and we all think we deserve it. But what have you done for God? He died for us, for our sins. People can't grasp that. So imagine for an instant. Your dad realizes that you have gone totally lost, that you have lost your way. Imagine him telling you that he's going to lay down his life for you. Imagine that he does it the way Jesus did it. It would really hurt you, wouldn't it? Wouldn't you want to honor him after that? Everyday people reject God and his son Jesus. It's like slapping him in the face when people do that. My point is, we can't always live in the "mellow" zone. But with God In our hearts, with him beside us we will get close to that mellow feeling. I say Amen to that way of living.

I can't check yes

So that lovely button on facebook that says check yes if you "voted" is unchecked on my part. I have a new job that I've been trying to figure out correctly. I have been sick with just aches and pains and fever. Plus, the people who were running were not respectful, all I saw was these commercials of them bad mouthing each other. It was only last week that I saw one of them actually saying what they were planning to do. That "person" was actually the one talking. I know if you don't vote you have no right to complain. I'm not complaining. I'm complaining about myself and the lack of effort that I put into voting. I didn't want to vote basically. Because I believe there wasn't a good enough candidate that I wanted in charge. Each of them had their flaws. However, I do plan to vote for the next president. Because I need and want to continue to use my right. But I want to vote for someone who knows God. Who has some kind of faith, who has knowledge of our wonderful God. Someone who doesn't spend millions of money to bad mouth others.I want a God-fearing person who openly loves and follows God's commands. That's it, simple and easy.

Assumptions killed the cat

They say that "curiosity" killed the cat. But I believe it was the "assumption" that did it though. The cat assumed that everything would be okay, so he let his curiosity overcome him. As for us, humans we assume things everyday. We assume when we cross the street people will stop. We assume just because the light turns red no one will run it. We assume that a friend will be there forever. We assume people will be nice every moment because they claim their nice people. We assume people who act one way are like that always. We assume all the time. Of course assumptions cant lead to death. That's only for the cat. But we get ourselves into sticky situations.I try not to assume anything. I thought it was because I didn't want to be disappointed, or because I could care less. Now its more like I don't want to assume that God hasn't already planned it. I firmly believe that God knows what will happen, and he will prepare us. I do not assume this. I know this because it's my faith. I choose to believe in him, I don't assume anything about god. Because he has shown us time and time again, how he can work in our lives. God doesn't assume either, so we should be careful with all our assumptions of each other. Of things that we know nothing of, or things we cannot foresee.
