| I've recently read the book 'Boy Meets Girl' by Joshua Harris (the same guy who wrote 'I Kissed Dating Goodbye') It's a book on courtship - that step between friendship and marriage. It's like dating only you're in it for the long term. You court someone you could potentially marry.

The whole book is an interesting read, I recommend it to anyone who is less than impressed by societal views on relationships. Joshua Harris is great with analogies and this is one of the few that stuck in my brain:

"..As you keep reading, remember that God doesn't have a one-size-fits-all plan for relationships.

We all have very different lives - we vary in age, cultural background, and circumstances, to name just a few..

You might be asking, "How am I supposed to follow God's principles for courtship when my circumstances are so different from those of other people?" Let me try to explain.

Imagine that you're a student in an art class. You and dozens of classmates are learning from a master painter. One day your teacher displays a painting of his own. It's an incredible work of art, and he wants each of you to copy it.

You're about to begin working when you turn to look at the person next to you. You're surprised to note that he has a larger brush than you and a different kind of canvas. You look around at the rest of the class. Some students have acrylic paint, others watercolour, still others oil - and everyone is using different colours. Though you all have the same assignment, you each have completely different materials. This frustrates you. Some students have materials you would prefer yourself. Why should they get them?

You're not the only student to notice the disparity. A hand goes up to your left. A girl with only a ragged brush and three pale shades of blue on her palette is noticeably agitated. "This isn't fair," she tells the teacher. "How do you expect me to duplicate your painting when the people around me have so many colours to choose from?"

The teacher smiles. "Don't worry about the other students," he says. "I've carefully chosen brushes and paints for each of you. Trust me. You have what you need to complete the assignment. Remember, your goal is not to create a painting that mirrors the person next to you, but to do your best with the materials I've given you to replicate my painting."

..God isn't asking us to copy each other but to fix our eyes on our Lord and Master Jesus Christ.. We can rest in the knowledge that God is sovereign over our life's situation. No matter where we are today or what mistakes we've made in the past, He has given us everything we need to glorify Him right now." (Boy Meets Girl by Joshua Harris, Page 30)

I think this analogy is applicable to more areas in life than relationships. It could be applied to any situation, perhaps even the one you're in now.

| My brother's future prospects in Advertising are looking particularly bright. Check out his latest English response:

Question 3
This ad needs help. It is too bland and unappealing for its target audience. Who do you think its target audience is? With this in mind, make changes to the advertisment and write the improved version in your English book.

Plain ad: "The new Ford Neutral car is a car with four doors and wheels. It comes in seven different colours. It is better than the Holden. The car has good brakes and can stop quickly if it needs to. There is room for seven people and a dog. It also has a CD player."

So I'm presuming that my brother was targeting, uh, kids his age with the use of colloquial language. "Fully-sick" hasn't been added to the dictionary, right?

Jordan's ad: The fully sick new Ford Neutral is a car with fully sick four doors and fully sick wheels!!! It comes in fully sick seven different fully sick colours!! It is better than the fully sick Holden!! The fully sick car has fully sick brakes and can stop fully sickly quickly if it fully sickly needs to!! There is fully sick room for fully seven sick people and a fully sick dog. It also has a fully sick CD player!!

I laughed hysterically and honestly could not stop for a solid 10 minutes.

| I know you're hurting. And I'm so sorry for that. You deserve much better than this. You are so ridiculously talented. You are so ridiculously gifted. But don't ever forget where your gifts and talents come from. Don't ever forget where you come from.

I know you wanted a break. Something to look forward to in this life. But there really isn't much to offer here. Do not be disheartened, all this effort will not go to waste.

3 "Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 Blessed are those who mourn,
for they will be comforted.
5 Blessed are the meek,
for they will inherit the earth.
6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they will be filled.
7 Blessed are the merciful,
for they will be shown mercy.
8 Blessed are the pure in heart,
for they will see God.
9 Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they will be called sons of God.
10 Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

11 "Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. 12 Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you."

Matthew 5:3-12

I know that you know that we'll always be here for you. We understand that you don't want to talk to or see anybody right now.

Love you my 1/3 kindred spirit.

| It's taking me light years to clean up my desk and transfer all my files and folders onto my new shelf. I'm too darn sentimental. Can't seem to let go of my Year 9 exercise books for some reason. They hold no significance at all! Yet I can't bear the thought of trashing them..

Oh, but old diaries are the best. Best piece of blackmail anyone can ever find is someone's personal diary. Mine is truly horrific. I found my 2007 one about half an hour ago and have been flipping back to past events since then. It's like reading a poorly written recount of a roller coaster ride that you went on in Year 6. Can't help but laugh at your ignorance yet you can empathise.

I reckon #2 on my "What The World Needs" list is Diaries, right after Notepads.

| Sort-of. Organisms still exist underneath rocks. And as will I!

Just did some effective study for the past 4 hours (with breaks, of course). I guess this is another break.

Okay. Breaks over.
