Most people celebrate Valentine's Day as a day of love. Have you ever noticed though, that some calendars say "St. Valentine's Day"? Do you wonder why the "St." part is in there? Well, a long time ago people had a celebration for the Roman god of love. (As we Christians know, the other gods were and are not real.) The Christians could not take part in this holiday though, and they didn't want to miss out on the fun. So, Christians decided to celebrate something different, but on the same day. The Christians would celebrate the death of two martyrs both named Valentine, one being a Saint. Martyrs are people that are killed because they love Christ and would rather have their life taken then deny Christ.
This Valentine's Day, and the rest, let's remember the martyrs, and pray for the families who have lost loved ones because they were killed for their faith. I don't mean you shouldn't celebrate Valentine's day like everyone else. It is fun getting chocolate, teddy bears, and cards, isn't it?
I sure hope you are willing to die for your faith if you ever have to.

God Provides!
For the past couple of weeks I have been looking for some some dressy boots, but everything I found was out of our price range. (My mom said that I couldn't spend more on my boots than she spent on hers!) Last weekend we were on our way home from visiting family, and we stopped at a big strip mall, but we still couldn't find anything in our price range.
While I was pitying myself we were walking to Claire's, and my mom kept saying, "God will provide!" I knew she was right, but still found myself feeling a little hopeless. As we were walking into Claire's my eye caught a rack of boots. I walked over to the rack and hanging there were some perfect black scrunchy what I like to call pirate boots. I was a little afraid to look at the price tag, but when I flipped the tag open there were the numbers $28.00. I was happy and excited. I raced to my mom and said, "I found the boots! I found the boots! I could have gotten them for $48.00, but now I can get them for $28.00." After I got the boots I kept thinking God will provide, and God bless Claire's!

Boo-hoo!!!
Do you know why some people cry when they cut onions? The answer is something truly weird.
When an onion is cut it lets off chemicals which were in tiny, little sacs before the the cutting of the onion. You can not see these sacs because they are teeny tiny. These chemicals that the onion let off are harmful to your eyes, so the tears come to wash the harmful chemicals away from your eyes. Tears are not just a sign that you are having emotions about something. Tears keep harmful things from your eyes.
Here is another weird thing. If you run water over an onion in the sink while you are cutting the onion, the chemicals will still come out, but they will flow down the drain with the water. The chemicals will not reach your eyes this way, and you will not cry. If you freeze an onion for about fifteen minutes before cutting it the harmful part of the chemical will be killed because of the cold air, and again you will not cry.
Just in case you were wondering, people also cry when they are having strong emotions about something such as an exciting moment or something sad or upsetting. If you are overwelmed about something crying will actually calm you down.

Comfort!
A mother's love for her child isn't only for human mothers!
"As a mother comforts her child, I will comfort you..." (Isaiah 66:13 NIV)

Be Yourself!
Do you ever catch yourself doing or being something your not? Well be unique. Maybe wear an outfit once and a while that just says you. Maybe have a funny saying that's so funny your friends bust up laughing every time they hear it. Sometimes the way we act isn't the way God wants us to act, so we just have to accept what God wants and do what He wants.

Boogers...
Warning: If you do not want to know what boogers really are don't read this!
You may think snot (actually called mucus) is a really disgusting thing, but it is actually useful. If you breathe germs, pollens, dirt, and other things into your nose they would go down into your lungs. That would make it hard to breathe. That is where snot comes in. Snot stops the pollens, dirt, germs, and other things. After the snot stops all that stuff, the snot and hair in your nose (cilia) surround it. Then the snot and everything else hardens and turns into a booger.

KMBI Christian Radio
Every Saturday morning on KMBI there are a bunch of different kids programs on. Some adults enjoy them too. All you have to do is turn the radio on to 107.9 or 83.3, but if you don't have a radio get on the Internet and type in kmbi.fm and click listen live. The programs are from 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. The programs are Coconut Hut are Ranger Bill, Kids Corner, Down Gilead Lane, Adventures in Odyssey, cool Christian music and more. I hope you decide to turn on KMBI sometime and listen to one, or all of the programs.
