Random
10-27-08
I'm going to write about random stuff right now.
Here we go.
So far I have 17 words. No, wait, 21.
OK. We have a new dog! its name is Teddy, and he can do more fun tricks than Toby, although he is a lot smaller. 48.
I'm sorry that this is so late. but I got sick over the weekend and that's when I had pushed all the stuff to be done to.
So. PI is really cool. PI is aproximitly 3.14159263. I think. I'm up to 90 words.
So over all. Random. RANDOM! RANDOM! RANDOM! RANDOM! RANDOM!

J 13 The Inheritance Cycle, Namely Eragon, Continued
Eragon Continued
10-16-08
First of all this is my 13th J this year, so if I die in a tragic accident later today, blame this and the writing class in general (Just kidding Sister Meeks).
Anyway, Eragon.
As they are traveling they find some poison stuff that the Raz'ac dropped while they were getting on some mysterious flying mounts. Brom has an idea to try and figure out where the Raz'ac are hiding by figuring out where the most poison is being shipped to.
Brom says that he has a friend in the trade business named Joed who can help them, he lives on the other side of the Spine mountain range on the sea.
When they get there and ask Joed about it he gets them into the archives so they can find out where the poison is going, it's going to a really big mud hole of a city on the inland side of the Spine called Dras'Leona.
When they get there they immediately realise where the Raz'acs hideout is, a huge pointy rock sticking strait out of the desert right by the city that the local heathen priests worship. The rock is called Hellgrind.
As they are looking for info of how to get at the Raz'ac, Eragon runs into one of them in the city and has to escape. After that they find out how to get to where they want and impersonate some slaves sent to Hellgrind with supplies. The Raz'ac capture them and as they are being freed from the creatures by an unknown aid, one of the Raz'ac hits Brom with an evil knife, the injury proves fatal later.
That's all for now.

First of all I'd like to apologize for not getting this posted sooner, this will be explained more fully later in the paper.

First of all I'd like to apologize for not getting this posted sooner, this will be explained more fully later in the paper.
Yesterday was October Eighth. Yesterday was also my birthday! w00t!
14 is the lucky number (and it is sort of lucky if you think about it, you know, 7 x 2 and 7 is lucky? No? oh well doesn't matter), I figured out that I am also 5115 days old which is approximately 730.7 weeks old.
I said I would explain why this waited till today. Tuesday Jana and I got picked after Seminary and went strait to the dentist (our dentist is my dad's cousin or something like that and has his office in Syracuse). We were there from 10 am too 2 pm because there were five of us, that's 4 hours.
And then Wednesday was my birthday and I didn't get much done so.... That's my excuse, hope you like it.

My Great Leader
My Great Leader
9-22-08
Gordon B. Hinckley was born on June 23rd 1910 in Salt Lake City, Utah. In 1961 after serving a mission in England, he was called to be an apostle of the church. He served as a councilor under presidents Kimball, Benson and Hunter. On March 12, 1995 he was called as President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He served in that calling till his death on January 27, 2008.
So now I’ve listed all these things about president Hinckley, but the point of this paper is who I think is a great leader. I see Gordon B. Hinckley as an entertaining man, he has a sense of humor, but that humor is clean, and I respect the fact that he kept good clean standards throughout his life.
Another thing that I see in this great prophet is he was determined. When he became president of the church, he saw that one of the greatest necessities at that time was that there were not enough temples for the members of the church. Right now there are one hundred and twenty eight LDS temples on the earth, seventy-four of them were dedicated while he was prophet, and by the time of his death one hundred and twenty-four LDS temples were dedicated. Now that’s determination.
The last thing is, Gordon B. Hinckley is friendly. I don’t know many really good leaders that were unkind. I mean kindness as true kindness. Someone can be In Charge but they can still be kind. And that is exactly who Gordon B. Hinckley is.
Clean
Determined
Kind
He is my great leader.

Is it Right to React With Evil
When Evil is Being Done is it Right to React With Evil?
9-29-08
If there is a bully at your school and he is picking on the little kids there, many would say to gang up on him and beat him down.
Does that ever do any real good in the long run?
Sure it will save some other kids from the bully for a while but, what about the anger and hate that would be left stewing and boiling in the bully’s mind.
It’s roughly the same with a lot of things, war, theft, feuds, and many others. In most cases if the person or persons in charge of what’s happening are sat down and just, talked to. If the matter is taken care of diplomatically, hate, fear, or even loss of death can possibly be avoided.
But there are exceptions to this. Sometimes there are people that are so evil that they don’t actually care if they get beat down once or twice. The anger that ensues will just egg them on and their goal, whether to get revenge, to gain control, or even to save someone, will still be the only thing on their mind.
It is not necessarily evil to do some of the things I listed. Saving someone sounds like it should be a good thing. But when someone is doing it for the wrong reasons, if they are aiming to get control, or if they don’t care the means that they use to get it, then they become someone who should be taken care of at all costs.
Although this is true, it does not mean to kill someone just because they are picking on someone at school. Diplomacy is something that we are meant to use, before the fist, before the gun, before the harsh word.
Evil is evil, it must be taken care of. But much of the time the person themselves is not evil. Every soul is equal in the eye of the Lord. We should try to see all people like our savior does. Only he can judge.
