July 2-July 5, 2009

so my aunt and uncle came over and I spent a lot of time with them, and almost no time on the computer. I probably spent a total of two and half to three hours. I played some games of settlers, apples to apples, and imagineif with them. I also went to a pool and played with my little cousins there. At the pool they had this nice hot tub. I really liked it. So anyways, I can't really think of anything more to say, so adios for now.

July 1, 2009

yesterday I went over my time by a lot. *blushes* here's all that I did.

randomness (maybe over 4 hours)

Bible reading (20 minutes)

memory (10 minutes)

reading (2 hours)

mowed two lawns (about 2 and a half hours)

sat on my roof and watched fireworks (maybe an hour)

that's all I can remember right now.

June 30, 2009

Since I didn't write down everything I did yesterday, I will do it now.

I went to the movies with my dad, my little brother and his friend. (I'm not sure how long it was. But the movie I watched was inkheart)

I had a sword fighting group. (two hours)

I memorized some of Proverbs one while my friends played the wii. (around two hours. Although I didn't memorize the whole time)

I did some research on whether or not a woman should teach a man. (around 30-40 minutes)

I did facebook and other random things on the computer. (40-50 minutes)

I read some books (1-2 hours)

That's all for yesterday.

no more video games

Lately I have noticed that video games have become more a part of my life than God and His Word have. I've noticed that when I play video games, it's harder for me to memorize scripture. It also makes me angry on the inside. I usually try not to let it show, but it is still a sin, God can still see my anger. So, starting tomorrow I am going to go at least a week with no video games, I will also limit myself to 1-2 hours of random computer time. This includes facebook, forums, videos, and anything else that i don't need to do. The things I will do, that I won't consider random, are blogging, listening to sermons, and doing research. Each day I will post what I have done on that day. If I go even one minute over the time have set for myself, I will lower my time by an hour to an hour and a half the next day.
