so my sister recently turned 15 as a freshman in high school... i remember my first day of high school... i definitely tried hard that first day to impress others and give off an image that did not quite fit my personality... that was when i was young and immature... have i changed much from then?! you tell me... mui502@hotmail.com growing up is difficult these days. so many temptations all around us bite at our weaknesses. the truth can not be shaken. may we be grounded... read the word!

many others also celebrated another year of life fulfilled or, in another light, a new path to explore. i had the pleasure to dine with friends over these past few weeks as they aged, and being around friends recently has given me a wonderful and inexplicable joy. not purposely being cheesy here... but hanging out with buddies and chatting up a storm or just listening in on conversations have kept a constant smile in my heart! would you not feel blessed if you were me?!
