There is a place like no place on earth known as hades, or more well known as ‘hell’. This is an essay on what the place of hell is like.
It is clear from the Bible that hell is a place of torture, pain and agony; it is where sinful people who haven’t repented for their sins go. It is a place were you cannot escape from: once you’re there, you’re there, and you’ll never ever get out, so you’ll stay there for ever and ever, unless you confess your sins to Jesus, and trust in him that he died for you. But anyway we’re not talking about that, we’re talking about “hell”. There is a story in the Bible about a wicked rich man who was really selfish, and later went to hell, and when he was in hell (guess what), he could see the people in ‘heaven’ which is a beautiful place where people who have repented for their sins go. But anyway that’s not the point! If he could see people in heaven he knew what he was missing, and felt really awful. You’re probably wondering why I told you that story of the rich man. Well, I told you the story to bring out the point that in hell people can see those in heaven, and feel sorry even though they may never get out because of their wickedness, so I’m warning you (people reading this) repent for your sins and trust in Jesus or the penalty is hell. Thanks for reading.

What is love?

This is another omnibus essay that I have to do, and it’s on the subject of the question ‘what is love?’ I told you in an earlier essay that there are many meanings of the word ‘friend’. If you’d like to know what the meanings are them you can read my other essay. But I’m here to tell you about ‘love’. Like the word (friend) love can have many meanings: There are four main types of love, the first is the type of love is the type of loved that parents, Children, brothers and sisters have which is called ‘the family love’. The second type of love is (which is a similar type of love) is the type of love that ‘man and wife have; the third type of love is ‘a friend ship love’ (the type of love which King David had with Jonathan: which I told you about in the friend essay). Finally we have the Spiritual love which is the type of love which ‘God’ has with us. Even though these are all different types of love in one way there all the same, the bible clearly talks about putting true love as putting people before yourself! You should sometimes sacrifice yourself for your family, sacrifice yourself for your wife, and sacrificing yourself for your friend. And sometimes you have to sacrifice yourself for ‘God’. Now, that doesn’t mean die in God’s place because God can’t die, but it does mean when the Gospel is not allowed you should still cling to the Gospel and even die for it. In the story of ‘Till we have faces’ by C. S. Lewis Orual kind of loved Psyche, but it was a selfish ‘love’, she tried to be kind to Psyche and she really expected kindness back, but it wasn’t that Psyche was being Unkind, she just wanted to go up to heaven, but Orual accused her of being unkind for leaving her, so that was a selfish ‘love’ (she was only kind to Psyche so she would be kind to her) so that wasn’t a true love. Thanks for reading come back for next time.

Hi again! I thought I should start doing a few post on the essays that I'm doing in my work. In September I've started doing 'Omnibus' which is a kind of study of the Bible. I've had to do lots of essays for 'omnibus'. For my first essay I'll tel you the 'friend essay' that I did.
Here it goes.

This is an essay about what a true friend is.

Like the words (love, normal and big), Friend can have many meanings. You might think of a friend as someone who you go out to clubs with and talk to regularly, you might of gone to a meeting and talk to someone and you come home and your mum said “Oh you’ve made a friend” when actually you just had a conversation with him. If someone asked you “what is a friend”? you might come up with one of these examples, but the question “what is a true friend”? is a bit trickier. There is really only one meaning for ‘a true friend’. In bible David and Jonathan were ‘true friends’, the bible says David loved Jonathan more than he did women; Now, that doesn’t mean he loved Jonathan in the same way man and wife love each other, (that is wrong) It meant they loved each other very much and cared for each other as well. True friends are very close, that doesn’t mean its wrong to have a conversation with someone at a meeting, it just means that isn’t a true friend. Thanks for reading. I hope its helped.

Sorry that I haven't blogged in a while, I haven't really been feeling like it! I thought today I should do a poem that I've edited. The poem is by the well known play writer 'William Shakespeare'. But I've edited some of it into my own words. First I'll tell you the original poem! It went like this:

"Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate: Rough do shake the darling buds of May, And Summer's lease hath too short a date". That was just a little bit of it. Now I will tell you my version.

"Shall I compare thee to a computer? Thou art more funny and sunny than the sun at night, And like a castles knight". I know it's not that good, it doesn't rime that much, but it's the best one I could think of. What do you think of it?

Yesterday we went to church and I had this terrible cold. I was sneezing and itching and people were looking at me. I came home and eat this delicious meal of sausage casserole and the sausages were tesco’s finest but they were full of fat, there was fat pouring out of them. When we had finished our dinner we were going to Sunday School and I got some money out of a money box and my brother Ben, Alice and Esther were calling me to come and it took a few minutes for me to do what they wanted but I finally came and got in the car and drove to church.

Project

We put some water in a boiler and warmed it up for a few minutes and then we put green food colouring in and an awful lot of salt, when it was finished we put it in a bowl and then we got some peaces of rope that we stuck together to the bowl and then left it for a couple of days.

This is an intresting thing I found out about. For many years, people would hear tales from fishermen about giant squids out at sea. According to the stories, enormous squid would wrap its arms around a whale, causing a terrible battle to ensue. Whalers claimed that sometimes, when they caught a whale, it woud have giant round scairs as big as dinner plates on its body. Other times, when they cut open the stomach of one of their whales, they would find squid arms as long as 30 feet with suckers up to four inches wide. I will now show you the story I wrote about the squid and the sperm whale.

the Squid and the Sperm Whale

Once upon a time in a far away sea there lived a beautiful Squid by the name of Josh. Josh was very tall and very big and big-headed, and everyone loved him. He always went everywhere without worrying, until one day he was swimming down the ocean and he came across a large, big, Sperm Whale and Josh said, “My dear Whale, how big you look!” but the Whale ignored him and charged through the ocean attacking him. He was a miserable and evil Whale by the name of Tashnekack. Tashnekack was chasing Josh everywhere; Tashnekack charged again but this time Josh was ready for it. He wrapped his arms around Tashnekack, causing a terrible battle to ensue until finely Tashnekack was surrounded and taken to ocean prison and from that day forward every one new Josh as ‘Josh the Whale slayer’.
