Summer Time

It's June!  That means summer is in the air. And everybody loves summer because it is so wonderful! It's hot, and… and that means that I'll sweat, and that means that my glasses will slide down my nose…. No! I can wear my contacts, so that way by glasses won't slide down my nose! =D Instead… the sweat can… drip into my eyes and make my eyes sting. =§ Hmm…. Why is that people like summer so much then? Oh, Yeah! That's right because of summer vacation, they don't have to go to school. They can find jobs and work instead. =D What? Work isn't fun? Yeah it is. It's fun because you get those 6.14 inch long pieces of paper with peoples' faces and numbers on them. So, why do people want those pieces of paper again? It's not like you can do a whole lot with them. I mean, they work pretty well for making paper roses, but they'd be better if they were red or something. Oh wait! That's right! People want those pieces of paper because they are useful in trade, I remember now. You can trade them for food and other useful things. So, that's why summer is fun.

Oh! It's also fun because you can spend time with your friends on the beach and stuff. =D Well actually, the beach probably isn't a very good place to go considering the world as it is today. =/ Hmm…. Aha! Instead, you can go to Disney World and Epcot, or other Amusement Parks! =D Perfect! … But then again, actually, maybe not, because then you'd have to trade in those greenish pieces of paper that you were collecting. =( And that's no fun, because you wanted those. Hmm… I know! You can sit around for half the day and watch movies and playing games on the computer. And then you can just sleep for the other half of the day. Go to bed at midnight and then don't get up until noon, it's perfect! =D There you go, all your problems solved. Well… actually… the majority of my friends aren't here for the summer. I only see them during the school year, so I guess it's not so perfect. =C Hmm…. So, why is it that people like summer so much anyway? =S

Oh boy, some people's kids…. =P

Well anyway, summer is in the air, and even though summer does have it's own disadvantages (such as the heat), it also has a vast array of wonderful advantages. First is that you have more free time which you would never had at school unless you skipped all your classes and didn’t study for anything. And that free time can most definitely be enjoyed by watching movies or other recreational activities, but it can also be used for growth. Growth and developing the man or lady that God has created you to be. You have more time to read, and develop your mind that God has given you. More time to exercise to be a good steward of the body that has been entrusted to you. More time to practice musical instruments that you might be trying to learn or other hobbies that you might have, again, developing the gifts and abilities that God has blessed you with. Then most importantly you have more time to interact with your closest friend. Time to spend a little bit longer reading the letter that He has written to you, and time to spend a little extra time talking to Him and sharing your burdens and problems with Him. Free time seems to be greatest thing about summer. It must be used effectively though, used for God's glory. =)

Don't waste the time that you have.
