KJV Only? 1st post

     

     I'm starting to study why I'm KJV Bible only, and I found this question that I think is really interesting..."Assuming you believe in the degeneration of man, rather than evolution, why is it that you believe education has somehow "evolved" and that men are more qualified to translate God's word today than in 1611?"

     Another thing I found interesting..."7For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. 8And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one." 1 John 5:7(KJV) Verse 7 is talking about the Trinity, right? Well the NLT, NIV, NASB, ESV and ASV all leave out verse 7 but verse 8 is there. Why do they leave out talking about the Trinity???

     

      

So these are some things I’ve been thinking about, I’ll try and keep posting as I go along.

Lake Fun

In June we had my graduation party at the lake. It was so much fun, and thanks to everyone who came!! I'm way behind on posting, school and life keeps me busy :D But here are a few pictures.

Dad brought the grill out there, and we had hotdogs and hamburgers! 

 Mr. Allen likes to make faces when I try to take pictures of him, so this was the best I could get, haha.

 We rented a big flat bottom boat, and two kayaks and a canoe, and some friends brought another canoe and a big rubber boat. So we played in the water a LOT.

 We spent probably 3 hours trying to sink this big rubber boat. We filled it with water and rocked it around, we finally succeeded in tipping it over, and then we played on top of it for a long time.

Mr. Jason and Lance.

 They took great joy in throwing people out of the boat, and then making it extremely difficult for us to climb back in....

We were out there for about 10 hours and the weather was gorgeous the whole day. We played in the water for hours and ate lots of food and had tons of fun!

"Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God." -Psalm 42:11

Beautiful Promise!

 "For I am the LORD, I change not;" Malachi 3:6a
I love this verse it is so comforting to think that no matter what change happens, (and I'm discovering there's lots of change the older I get :P) the Lord NEVER changes!!

CollegePlus!

For almost 2 years now, I've been meaning to give everyone an update on my choice of higher education and I never did, so I'm fixing that ;)

When I started looking at different college options, I had already determined that going to our university, UAF was not an option for me. I didn't want to be in that kind of environment and they didn't really have studies for my area of interest. So I was looking at different Christian college choices, or distance learning, through online colleges. Being home schooled my whole life, the latter was definitely my preferred option. In one of our many internet searches Mom and I stumbled on a program called CollegePlus! We did a lot of research on it and after talking to dad and praying about it, I decided to enroll.

CollegePlus! is a Christian organization that uses coaches/mentors to help you through the process of getting a BA degree in a shorter period of time and for a fraction of the cost that it would take doing college the traditional way. You take CLEP or DSST/Dantes tests to test out of your basic core classes, and for any extra credits that you need. After you have between 60 and 90 credits (depending on the requirements for your degree choice) gained from testing, you enroll in Thomas Edison State College, and take degree specific courses/classes through them and then graduate from that accredited college.

I chose a BA in Music, which is a little bit more involved then some of the other degree choices, so besides the tests and courses through TESC I also have to take some other music classes through another university. I will be starting two different music courses next week, and I'm excited and nervous at the same time.

I started CP! January of 2010 and right now I have 27 credits. I'm slooooowly creeping along, but that is what's so great about this program. You can move at your own pace. I was able to finish up high school, keep up with my music lessons, finish my last year in 4-H and even do some travelling!

CP! also has a student forum where students from across the country can connect. We share study tips, encourage and pray for each other, argue and laugh together, and we're even a little crazy and goofy sometimes :D This year I had the privilege to actually meet about 30 other CP! students. We all met for some fun and fellowship in Pennsylvania and it was great!

 A few of the students have become some of my closest friends and some of them I consider sisters and brothers.
I would encourage any of you, young people and adults, to look into this. I'm willing to answer any questions you have (or at least try :D) This has been a huge blessing for me, and it's definitely an adventure; but I'm excited to see what the Lord has in store for me through it all!
