Response of Hope
Virginia,
Don't give up! There is still hope. There is strength in Christ. He will save you and empower you to continue to live and feel better. He will give you a purpose and joy. You have so much to share with the world and there is so much that you could do for God. There are people around you that support and care for you. Please don't feel like all is lost. There is hope for you.

Kipling Short Stories
Name of the story: How the Camel got his Hump
Theme/Moral: The story teaches a lesson on the importance of working hard and the consequences of laziness.
Opinion: I thought that the story was good and interesting. The title attracted me to the story because after I read the title, I wondered about camels and their hump. So even though I know the story is not true, it was an interesting explanation and it had a good lesson.

A Poem Inspired by Kipling
If you can find beauty in the world around you,
Even if it appears as though there is none
In places where everything is gray and the sky is dark.
If you can see and feel the morning sunshine,
And be joyful in a new day, despite what has happened before
Embracing the new day’s opportunities.
If you can point to God in all of life’s situations
Praising His name with unfaltering faith
Then you will be like a light to those around you.

Dicken's Stories
The wealthy Mr. Ebenezer Scrooge is a stingy and mean old man, who is visited by the spirit of his friend and business partner, Mr. Marley, and by three ghosts that show him his past, present, and future Christmases. While being transported throughout time, Scrooge's heart began to soften, as is he is shown the world around him, and the life he’s lived from a different perspective. Scrooge returns to the real world on Christmas and, with his new outlook on life, he becomes a kind and giving man, who is quick to be a help to others.

The Hound of Heaven
Sorry we were laughing so much. We chose to post this video because it was the first one we did and our answers weren't planned out. These answers were more real because we didn't know what we were going to say before recording the video, so it was really our thoughts on the poem.
