Meet our new girls-back-left- Iyiesha, Dominique, Jameca and little Jada in front.

Lovin that watermelon

Watermelon seed spitting contest- Savanah couldn't spit it very far but she had the best face trying.

Kemonterious goes to camp.

What I did today was go to basketball camp and learned some new things. Like some basketball drills. Then I started to have a basketball game. I shot five three pointers and on the last one we won. Then we played knock out. That is where you have to shoot and when do that your not suppose to miss because the other players may make the shot and your out. Then I played ball in the middle tag. That is when you try to knock the ball out of someone else’s hand and they are out.

Friday, June 15, 2007

Friday is our day off at Obasi, because so much is going on the other 6 days we need a day for down time. However today, Pierrie needed a ride to work at 7:15 a.m. and LaMario, Shae, Kemonterious and Marissa decided they needed a day of track training. Shae and Kemonterious have a big meet next week so we really need to intensify the practices. It was the first day of it being really hot, so it was a tough workout, but the kids tried so hard.

This week has been amazing! A lot of the time I feel really guilty for having only 6 or 7 kids, we usually have 10 or 11, I know numbers will change soon, when Teijah and Alexis come back the numbers will go way up again, so we don’t want to get more kids than what we can handle. Anyway I can really see God doing a huge thing in the kids with only 6. It gives us so much more individual time to see who they are. Life slows down more with less kids because you don’t feel like are you are juggling so much. It is easier to see the successes and not focus so much on the failures.

Before this week, because of all the kids we have lost to moving, foster care, the streets, I have felt myself really guarding my heart, because each time you lose a kid it feels like you lose piece of your heart. This week being with the kids even more up close and personal I can’t help but feel my heart open up and smile again. They really are amazing. I love reading their journals. After we studied what it means to be a hero, and how we can be a hero, the last question in the journal for this week was…. I think ___________ looks up to me as a hero and that makes me feel _____________________. Kemonterious wrote I think Miss Brenda looks up to me as a hero and that makes me feel happy.
My heart smiled when I read that. I would have never thought that is how he would have answered it, but it makes me feel good that he feels that I look at him like that. He is the youngest in a large family and is kind of invisible at times. What an awesome responsibility to help a child believe that you look up to him as a hero, to make him believe in himself and his talents that much. It really makes me think and makes me look at my job more seriously.
So while the summer numbers aren't exactly the way I pictured it, I am reminded again that God does know what He is doing. That the kids that we do have know have been in the program for some time and were here for all the drama of all the other kids leaving plus their own daily drama, so some intense individual time is exactly what we all need to mend our hearts. Again God is so good to us.

A Working Man

Pierrie is working for the Lincoln Parks and Rec's Green Team for about 3 weeks this summer.
I started my job on Thursday and it is good, it’s not great because it’s hot and it’s hard work. But this lady I work with said I had good work ethic. Today she told me they should be paying me triple for all the hard work I’m doing. I like that. Cool!

Thursday, June 14th

WE were all fascinated by the naked mole rats.

At the zoo me, Jodene and LaMario we looked at all the stuff. These little naked mold (mole) rats were on top of each other sleeping and one was big. It couldn’t get through the tube, because a big thick stick was there. Then we went to the little monkeys. They were so cute. One looked like a little rock star. The other one looked like a little person with a little face. Then we went to see the seals, one jumped into the Hoola Hoop for a talent show. It was really cool. Then us kids rode on the train. I sat with Savanah and Dez. We sat in the back so we could go in the tunnel last. It was so fun I want to go again some day.
Shae

Today Brenda and Jodene earn a big time thanks for all the things they done for us. Especially Brenda she planned this whole summer. My best part is my attitue change so now I have more fun.
But my favorite animal is the seals, Tony and Pearl, out of those two my best one is… I’m going to say both of them! They both did excellent. I was scared of one of the lamas, the while one.
The train was awesome because I got to ride with my best friends Savanah and Shae. They are so cool, Shae helped me when I was afraid of the lama. But the zoo was awesome because of my attitude.
Dez

(Dez accepted Christ as her personally savior about 3 weeks ago and she truly as been a new person. Before I hated picking her up from school, she would have such a sour face and attitude, it made the whole day go bad. One day we were taking about the body of Christ and who that is. She broke into sobs and I took her outside to talk. She said she was crying because she didn't know if she was going to heaven or not and didn't know what to do. Finally an easy problem to fix, I actually had the answer. We talked, she prayed and she has been a new kid ever since. Miss Brenda)

Savanah pets a rat.

Pearl the Seal waves at us.

What I did today was went to the zoo. I walked around and saw all kinds of animals like camels, sheep, deer and snakes. The whole place was huge. The first thing I did was look at the seals. They did a performance for us. And one their names was Pearl and the others name was Tony. Tony was so good that she jumped through a hooli-hoop. Then Pearl just spun around and showed us her flippers and her silky coat.
Kemonterious

Savanah and Shae find out what it is like to be large chicks.

The Cheetah.

The camel waits for a snack.

Today we went to the zoo in Lincoln, it was fun for the most part. We went to the goat exhibit and fed the goats and the lamas. I also saw my friend Amy at the zoo working so I talked to her for a while. Then we went and looked at the seals and we watched them do some tricks. Then we went and saw some camels and fed them. Then we took a ride on the train.
Pierrie

Today we went to the zoo and we saw a cheetah, a monkey, snake, turtle and other animals. The train rides and the seals were the best out of the whole zoo. I want to thank Miss Brenda and Jodene for doing everything for us. Obasi spent a lot of money on us this week. So thank you.
Savanah

(All week the kids have been earning beads instead of Obasi Monopoly money for good behavior, learning things, doing well at camp, etc. They get colored beads for activities and green beads for doing chores. They need to earn 100 colored beads and 30 green beads to go on our end of the summer overnight trip. They have been pretty proud of how many beads they have earned this week. Today I informed them that they have to pay for things with their beads too, just like we did with Obasi Money. Some of them weren't to happy when they saw a lot of their beads disappearing for all the field trips and camps they participated in. So I explained to them how much real money Obasi had spent on them this week. Jodene explained to them this is what happens in real life you work and you have to pay for the things you need and want. So then you have to work more to get it back. I looked in Savanah's journal and she had written down all the fees I had named off and at written down the total. She's our little accountant.)

Savanah receives her hat and first pin.

At the end of each week the kids get the chance to recite their memory verse for the week. If they learn their verse they get a little miniature swap to put on their Obasi cap to help remind them of their verse and the lessons for the week. This week if they memorized their verse they got their cap and a big button that says, BE A HERO OF FAITH. They were so excited to recite their verses. They also received other awards for the week too. One is the Faith Hero of the Week, where we pick a person who has lived their faith that week. Our first Faith Hero was Pierrie. It is easier to live your faith while you are at Obasi, but harder for the kids when they are out in the world. We picked Pierrie this week because he lived out his faith at his new job. Doing his best for God and working hard, when it would have been easier to slack off like some of the other kids he is working with. Instead he was a great example and was noticed by his supervisors for having a great work ethic. On a personal note as a mentor that makes my heart, sing and dance. A few years ago when we started working with the kids to help with work ethic and doing your best, it was like pulling teeth, and we didn’t think that we would ever get to this point. God is so faithful, and we are grateful and excited.
Miss Brenda

The kids show off their new hats.

After the zoo and awards we were invited to the Cornhusker Kiwanis family picnic. It was beautiful outdoors and it was good to relax. We love doing anything with the Kiwanis they are a great group of people. They are always so good with the kids and love talking to them and celebrating their successes. We had a lot of fun. Thank you Cornhusker Kiwanis for all your kindness and support.
Miss Brenda

Hailey (the white dog,) was very excited, she thought that burger was hers, sadly later she discovered it was Jodene's and wasn't even going to get a taste of it.

After the picnic it was back to our last night of Track Camp. LaMario, Kemonterious, North Star Track Coach and Shae.

At track camp I learned about high jumping. When you high jump you have to bend over so that when you jump your back is slanted and you land on your shoulders. The other thing I learned was the long jump. When you start from the fifty yards and sprint and jump into the sand as far as you can.
Kemonterious

Triple Jumping Jacks!!!!!! Let me tell you what I learn about track camp. Well the first thing I learned was when you are getting ready to run someone will say runners to your mark and you will put both of your hands on your knees then they will say get set. Then your suppose to put your right hand on the ground then and your left hand is up in the air. Then you go. When you do the 200 meter you go half way around the when you do the 400 meter you go I time around. Then when you so the 800 meter you go twice around.
Shae
(Before writing this story, Shae came up to me and said I need to start this story out more exciting, can you help me with some words, we came up with Triple Jumping Jacks ! I am so excited that Shae is thinking about how her writing sounds, usually when I tell them we are going to write they all moan and grown and it is like pulling teeth, but this week they have been amazing, almost excited to write. I think that when they go back to school their teachers will be excited to see how much they have improved in writing. That is exciting.
I also have another story about the kids and track camp. Kemonterious, LaMario and Shae attended track camp all week. By the end of camp they were known as the Three Amigos, they went everywhere together. You call one they all would come. For the most part they did a really good job. Kemonterious is so fascinated with gadgets and trying out new things that he loses focus on what he is there for. They all improved in their running techniques. At the end of camp I told them they needed to go thank the coach for doing camp. So I sat on the bleachers and watched. They waited for the other kids to get their t-shirts and then when the coach was through, Shae took the boys to the coach and I heard her say- Coach, us, then she points at the three of them, just want to tell you thank you, we had a great time at camp. Thank you for letting us come. The coach makes a awww sound. Then Shae says, In fact we really should get a picture of all of us together. Then she comes over to me and says Miss Brenda we should have a picture with the coach, can you take one for us. So we took the above picture, it was so cute. Shae is our spokes women and little encourager. Miss Brenda.)

Kemonterious practices the 200.

Who Is Your Hero?

This summer our theme is “Be A Hero of Faith.” Each week we will be learning about a Hero of Faith from the Bible. We will be learning about the obstacles each person overcame through their faith in God to become a Hero of Faith. The goal is for each of us to learn that we all have trials even the people in the Bible but through our faith in God we can be an over comer and a Hero of Faith. Our verse this week is Hebrews 11:6, Without faith it is impossible to please God. We talked about why we should want to please God, how to please God and why sometimes it’s not our priority to please God. This week we are also learning what it means to be a hero and thinking about who we look up to. We learned that we become who we look up to, so it is important to pick our heroes wisely. At the end of our lesson we were given an assignment to write a little about our hero or write God a letter thanking Him for putting that person in our lives. This is what the kids came up with. Some of the words are spelled incorrectly; I left them the way the kids wrote them because I think they made up some of their own words to describe how they feel.

Dear God ,
Thank you for putting my mom into my life. She has been wonderful. She puts a roof over my head, she helps me with my homework. She doesn’t push me into stuff I don’t want to do. She gets to work on time. She’s a waitress at Virginia’s Café. She goes as fast as she can. My mom stays at work until 8:30.
God please help my Mom keep her job so we have a roof over our heads and she will make a lot of money. Yesterday me and my brother Ty were home and we went over to the café and she bought us some food and one table didn’t leave her any money and I felt bad because she has done so much the first day of work. This is her 2nd day. Amen.

Savanah


Dear God,
Thank you for making Brenda. She is the most greatfulest person in my life. And I thank you for letting her be a part of my life. I picked her for my hero because without her my life would be terrified with smoking, stealing, fighting and thinking that I will not never go to heaven. But that all changed because I learn more about you God in church and many other places too. And I don’t care how bad my cousins want me to be I don’t want to be that way. And pop music that’s not a Christian thing that’s more like a using bad language thing. And this is how I feel.
Amen

Kemonterious.

Mom, she’s my hero because she cares for me and that she will do anything in the world for me. I’m really glad God put her in my life and I’m glad He made her because He made her just for me and for my family. Mom means so much to me and she means so much to God. I love my mom so much I sill do anything in the world for her and she would anything in the world for me. My mom is the only person I can look up to and I can look up to Jesus . God thanks for mom looking out for me and her being there for me and for being in my life because if it weren’t for her I wouldn’t be here. So mom thank you for everything you do for me because I really appreciate it. Your work , your kindness, and your careness and your sweetness. Oh and thanks for bringing me into the world and thanks Jesus for dying on the cross for my sins.
Shae

I am thankful for my mom because she loves me and she is nice. I can look up to her and she cares about me. I would be very sad if I were to lose my mom. I am glad God sent me an angel that I can call Mom, because mom means the whole world to me and I don’t care about how mad I get at her I will always love her. Every since I was born mom has been saving me.
LaMario

The persons who are my heroes are Steve Osenbaugh and Steve Mach. They are my heroes because they stand up for what they believe in and they are good men of the Word. Another reason why these men are my heroes is because they know how to take care of their families and how to be a good leader of their households.
They also go to church and are Godly men and they know how God really is. The reason why these men are my heroes is because they are so in love with God. Thes men are smart and I hope that I could be like them someday.
Dear God thank you for bringing these men into my life and that you can help them help me make great decisions and I could love you as much as they do. Thank you for all you have done for me and thank you for loving me.
Amen.
Pierrie


Dear God, thank you for my hero. I am very glad to be able to have my Granny as one on my heroes. She is the best . She helps me from time to time to learn how to help others and to build a great relationship with You. I love her and will always look up to her as a teacher. She is a great leader and a respectful follower. She loves you and she never wants me to let You go. God thank you for every special person You gave to teach me.
Amen
Marissa( Marissa has come back for a couple of days before moving to Mississippi)

Wednesday Activities

Another busy day at Obasi Ministry. Wednesday's are puppet class with Mrs. B. The kids go over a script for one of their plays.

Shae practices the skit with her puppet.

Laura Mach is doing Hero themed cooking with us this summer. Today was building a hero sandwich.

Shae enjoys her hero Sandwich. Thanks Laura it was delicious.

After Bible Time we had Craft time.

Some of the kids made Father's Day gifts. Shae's can cozy said Dad, rember God.

Our First Missions Trip

My dream someday is to be able to take the kids on Missions trip either to a different country or to some large inner city. But for us everything is about baby steps and preparing for the future. So our first Missions trip was to Firth Nebraska, about 20 minutes from Lincoln. We heard about a new camp opening up that needed a lot of work, so we volunteered to come and help for two days. The camp was originally a home for boys. It was shut down and was unused for quite some time. It has been purchased and the owners are getting it back together to use it for God.

Although it was hot, muggy and hard work we had a really great time. I was so proud of everyone, they worked very hard. I was excited to see that a lot of the things we had taught them about work a year or so ago they were using the last two days. It is so good to see them grow.

We would like to thank Oasis Camp for giving us the opportunity to serve. Thank you Katie and Becca for all your kindness and encouraging words, the kids loved you both. Thank you to my nieces Bailey and Ande and my nephew Payton for helping us the last two days. They really hussled and kept us all moving and working.

2nd Day at Oasis Camp

Well today was our last day of helping at Camp Oasis. We had a great time cleaning up again. We spent most of the day inside , we were in a different dorm building cleaning in the bathrooms. Man were they Nasty. I was cleaning this shower , there were spiders and mice poop in them. NASTY!!! Katie told me to clean the shower curtain, that thing had a big spider on it, I left that room.
The shower wasn’t getting to clean so Jodene went and got this Mr. Clean Eraser for the shower it was AWESOME. It worked so good. Miss Brenda was cleaning the shower and she said it was like night and day. Katie tried it too and they she wanted to know how they made them, so she could make them too.
Then it was time to say good-bye to Katie and Becca.
Pierrie

Today I was cleaning out the shower, moving furniture and sweeping. I learned that when you help each other you get done faster. It’s fun helping each other. I helped Ande with the trash, Icky with his job and I helped Bailey mop.
LaMario

Today we did a lot of cleaning… when we were all done I went and looked at all the rooms, I made a joke that room #5 was mine., it was so clean and almost empty. I hope I can come here for camp someday and I hope that we can go to Katie and Becca’s camp,(Timberlake Ranch Camp). I am so glad that they helped us if they didn’t we would still be on the camp cleaning.
Shae


Today was awesome, I learned that cleaning is not about just cleaning it is about having fun. Today I cleaned the shower, vacuumed the floors, and took the bed racks to another room. Pierrie loved the magic eraser. Today was better than yesterday, not because we had less things to do. It is I had a Blast of Fun! Jodene, Bailey and Ande helped us clean but it seemed that Jodene did all the hard work. Becca and Katie helped us and the great thing is they are sweet. Becca helped me and Savannah with the bed rack’s. The rough part is having to say good-bye to them. I loved hanging out with them they are awesome. But I wish that we wouldn’t have to leave them.
Dezhanay

When we were sweeping I couldn’t keep doing it, but I got to clean the showers. Jodene left to get some Mister magic erasers but I didn’t get to use one but Pierrie got tot, he said they clean like magic just like it says on the box.
It was hard saying good-bye to Katie and Becca so I kept giving them hugs because it was just too hard to leave them. Katie is 17teen and Becca is 18teen.
Savanah

What I learned today was that when you others with things they get done quicker. Today what I did was went into a different dorm. I went into the other restroom where the other Obasi kids were cleaning at. So I swept in the bathroom and I vacuumed each room on the right and Dez vacuumed each room on the left. After that I helped Jodene with the conference room. There used to be carpet but they tore it off. So that’s why there was a lot of dirt on the floor. There were three people, me, Jodene and Shae sweeping. And we got the job done.Kemonterious Miss Brenda's Niece cleans a toilet

Good bye to Becca and Katie

Our First Day of Summer

Our day started off really early with a really big OOPS. I thought track camp was at 7 a.m., in years past it had been in the morning, turns out it was 7 p.m. The kids really good though they all were up and ready to go, and oh so excited to run. Miss Brenda

Well today we had a blast kicking off our first day of Summer here at Obasi. We came out to Camp Oasis to help them clean out some rooms. Man, did they have a lot of stuff, but we had fun.
First, when we got there we met Mike, Katey, and Becca. They showed us what to d o. Some stuff was really heavy. Me and Payton were having fun carrying this big box thing. Pushing it back and forth trying to make each other fall.
After we moved all the stuff out of the building named Collin Hall, Mike took us out to play a game. There wasn’t a name for the game but we made a big circle and a person was in the middle and one or two people were outside of the circle trying to break into the circle trying too touch the person in the middle of the circle. It was a pretty fun game.
Then after we played the game we carried some benches out. Me, LaMario and Icky sanded them smooth so that Icky, LaMario, and Dez could paint them, they did a really good job. When they were painting everyone else was helping put in edging in the ground. Then we had some snack and listened to Miss Brenda’s ipod, she got some new speakers so we could listen to Nicole C. Mullen while we worked.
Then finally we moved over to the volleyball court and got to pick some weeds. Man, there were a lot of weeds in there we got them all and it took us maybe 45 minutes. Then when we got back to the van Miss Brenda showed us how to fill out our weekly report card and we got in the van for the ride home and wrote in our journals.
Pierrie

What I did today was moved chairs, lamps, tables and more. The next thing I did was took a break and then I went to the volleyball field and racked. I also dug up holes then once I was done I went back to the buildings and Miss Brenda showed us what we were going to do for the Summer. We are also coming back tomorrow and I can’t wait. Also the boys and Dez painted the chairs and the tables. Icky was about to sit on the table until Miss Brenda reminded him that the table was painted.
Shae


When we went to camp we painted benches and tables then we went to the volleyball court it was made out of sand then we had to pick up weeds and we learned our verses and earned 10 green beads and one colored bead. Then we left to go home and wrote in our notebooks. Oh and while we were there we cleaned out the dorms and played a game because Mike had to leave.Savanah

Lamario moving stuff

Shae and Savanah move stuff

OOPs Number 2 I forgot the spoons on the counter at home, so we had a no hands pudding eating contest.

Removing dirt from the sidewalk edge so we could put in some edging.

So to be weed free volleyball court

Ride back to Lincoln

Back to Track Camp. It ended up being a 15 hour day for some of us. But all in all it was a great day. I was really proud of the kids for all their team work thoroughout the day with no grumbling and whining. They were awesome.

Gardening

We have radishes...

And weeds!!!!!!

What I learned on doing the garden is you have to pick out the weeds. I found out that the weeds are darker than the plants. When you use the hoe you have to use the left tip of the hoe to get the weeds out. When the soil gets up the weeds won’t come back in. When Adam and Eve ate from the tree that was one of our consequences-weeds. The good thing that God made gardens so that we can eat vegetables and we can put them on our other foods.
Kemonterious

What I learned about today is that when you garden you have to hoe and pick up the plants that are trying to make the other plants die. Gardening is really fun. Sometimes when you take the plant out it’s like your taking out Satan. Plants are really fun to create. You can plant a lot of things. Maybe you should try to plant some seeds or make your own garden.
Shae

I learned that weeds are like sin and they are killing the plant so that’s why we had to pull out the weeds, so it would not kill the good plant and they grow so fast and so big they take up all the water. The reason that a garden is a good because it saves your money and gas.
LaMario

When Miss Brenda announced that the girls were going to plant a garden all the girls yelled, YAH! When we headed outside I got so excited to do planting. But what I learned about planting is that you have to kill the weeds. When you take the weeds out it’s like taking Satan out of your life and having only God in your life. When we were all done we looked at the tomatoes and it felt like God was growing bigger and bigger in my heart just like the tomatoes were growing big and strong. A garden is a big responsibility, remember to always check your plants that they don’t have any sinning plants.

Mother's Day Gifts

For Mother
For Mother's Day the kids made their Moms/guardians bracelets and jewelry boxes.

I Have Many Friends.

A poem by Pierrie for school, He was suppose to use colors and the same line at the end of each verse.

I used to be like a brown and white beagle puppy,
Shy before strangers.
But now I'm yellow and verbose,
Sitting in class.
I have many friends.

I used to hide in the ack of the crowd,
Grey in the shadow.
But now I am a busy little bumble bee,
Bright yellow and black.
I have many friends.

I used to peek around corners,
With my big brown eyes.
But now I stroll through the building like I own the place,
Wearing my red suede.
I have many friends.

I used to run scared,
Like a white headless chicken.
But now I carry my bald fade,
Until my black burns grow back.
I have many friends.

Talk To The HAND.

Savanah and Kemonterious practice their lines and hand movements.

Sunday- Kemonterious and Savanah came over and I had a surprise for them. The Little Blue Church donated their puppets to us. A lot of puppets!!!!!! We are going to be doing a lot with them this summer. We are so grateful for their kindness, this is going to save us a lot of money and work making our own. I thought it might be kinda of fun to get a couple of kids started on the puppets rather than try to teach them all at the same time. I found a great puppet skit on the internet that talks about Hebrews 12:1, a verse we have been studying.

Kemonterious and Savanah were so excited to see the puppets. They each picked out their favorites and named them. Savanah named hers Anna and Kemonterious named his Dontavian. They practiced for about an hour, they found out moving the puppets mouth at the right time is very tricky and that talking to another hand like it is another person takes a lot of practice.

On Monday they will be surprising the rest of the kids with their skit. I am really excited, I told them it was their turn to be evangelists.

Saturday Morning

Saturday morning we were supposed to go run the Mayor's Run. Just as we were leaving the house it started to down pour and the race was canceled. It was very disappointing we were so ready for that race.
Instead of taking the kids home we thought it might be fun to hang out and watch our new Veggie Tale-Lord of the Beans, and Buzzbee the Bee.
After our movie session the kids wrote the following stories.

The Lord of the Beans-
I learned that you should use your gift wisely instead on stuff like things that don't last forever. Like the needy need help with their kids and parents. Instead of helping yourself help the people who really need help. When God looks down at you and your helping somebody it brightens your day and His day. You feel like your winning a big medal for doing something for somebody else and not yourself. If you do for yourself you're letting Satan trick your mind.
Alexis

I learned from the video that you have to help yourself then help someone else. I learned that God gave you a gift, your feet, arms, eyes, ears and mouth. god made you wisely. I also learned that never trust Satan because hee will make you do the wrong thing. Never steal, don't drink or smoke, it's the wrong thing to do especially around your kids.
Shae

I learned that you should use your gift to help other people instead of just using it just fory yourself. Help those in need and don't let Satan make you do bad things and it is good to help other people.
LaMario

Ephesians 2:10 was the verse in the video. For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
I learned that when you get a gift from God you should always see what it's for. God gave you that for a reason.
Don't follow Satan because he is going to try and take that gift away from. You should always help others on what they need help on and don't let Satan trick your mind. If someone wants that gift that you have don't let them get it. That means do whatever that gift is meant for.
Kemonterious

Buzzby the Bee.
Proverbs 2:12-15
Wisdom willl save you from the ways of wicked men, from men whose words are perverse, who leave the straight paths to walk in dark ways, who delight in doing wroing and rejoice in the perverseness of evil, whose paths are crooked and who are devious in their ways.

God talks about following the right path. God's rules are the best to follow. Always listen to God. Never follow Satan because he doesn't follow God. You should always follow God's rules. It doesn't make you cool if you don't follow God's rules.
Kemonterious

Buzzby Bee didn't think he needed to follow the rules because he thought he was King of the bees. He said that rules aren't cool, he is cool. God don't like you to be a rule breaker. God is the King, breaking the rules is not cool. Obey the rules. God makes rules because He loves us. God is with you wherever you go. Buzzby said sorry to God and said God you are King. God makes the rules to tell us He loves us and wants our lives to be great and wants us to get an education and have a better way of life.
Savanah

Always listen to God and don't make up your own rules. Do not make someone mad because Satan is taking over you. Follow God, always talk to God. God can tell you the truth. Those who don't follow the rules they will have to learn the hard way. Breaking the rules is not cool. It is important to not break the rules. God is next to cleanliness. Don't follow Satan follow God that's the right thing to do. Always ask God what you should do. God is with you when there's a problem. Your mother gave you rules to protect you. Always ask God for forgiveness and do the right thing. God made the rules to tell us that He loves us. God wants our lives to be happy and joyful and wants us to do the right thing.
Shae.
