CERT Classes come to an End

Well, I have finished the CERT program. We are actually going to have a class every other month just to refresh on everything and go over things we've learned. I'm now certified in CPR too, that class was pretty fun, and interesting. We learned a lot in these classes. And sometimes we had a lot of fun! I would recommend this class to anyone who has it available to them and have the time. 

CERT Classes

 Me, Abbey, and Luke are taking this CERT class, or Community Emergency Response Team. We learn different things like what to do in a disaster. The last class we had was how to put out small fires. We did actual exercises with fire extinguishers. And we had to put on the whole get up that included a helmet, goggles, a mask, rubber gloves, and work gloves over them. It was pretty fun. Then the guy that was giving the class, who I have tagged as Cap., gave us a tour of the actual fire trucks and where they keep them and everything! It was awesome. I took a few pics with the phone I had.  

Summer Teen camp 2012

 

These are some pictures from our Summer teen camp this year. I am trying to put more videos of camp on here...but I'm still working on that. The video above was taken in the mess hall...It was crazy day at the camp...as you can see. These girls made up my cabin...I love all of them so much and miss them! Miss Hannah...the one in the yellow shirt...my counselor...is amazing! I miss her.

America!

   The future of our nation is in the hands of the holy and righteous God!
We have taken prayer out of our schools, out of our homes...and we wonder what is happening to our wicked generation. I understand that the times are changing. New updates in technologies everyday. But it becomes wrong when our nation changes so much...that it takes God completely out of our lives. What is happening America?! Are we becoming so busy with our lives that we can't take a moment to glance at our sinful ways and where it is taking us?! We can't blame all the turmoil on our president either! He is just a regular human like the rest of us, he makes mistakes!  And God put him there. God knows what He's doing. It is our duty, believers, to pray for our nation and the president. When we stop living our lives for ourselves, America, and turn to God, then the rest of the world will see what God's peace truly is! We need people who will stand up for what is right and stop riding with the flow which leads to destruction. To them Jesus is no more the Savior and the one who America was built upon. He is simply a historical being that if you want to believe in you can. We must get back to that! Jesus must be the Lord of our nation once again! Oh America...I pray for you. I pray that God will show His mercy on you. And now that Independence Day is coming, may we remember when those colors burst into the sky, when the flag is raised and sung to, when the pledge is said, that our freedom was given by God.
Happy Independence Day America!
