Children are loved beyond measure by God, who created them. This is the lesson this book teaches. The author, Max Lucado wrote in the dedication, “God couldn’t love you more than he already does.” This is the lesson of the whole story. The genre of this book is Christian children’s story. I often read stories like this in Sunday school and in my early years attending a private elementary school. In my opinion, this book is appropriate for children aged 4-7, but can be encouraging to children of all
workers use a machine like device such as a robot, or remote control to mass produce a car with ease.

In 2001the work began on the biggest dam project in history of the human kind. The place chosen was the Great Canyon in Colorado. After six months of heavy digging, workers had found something strange. John, who was one of the scientists that come to this site, was especially interested in this subject. He in his long black trench coat looked like Germans during World War II. He looked even more familiar to SS man when he took off his hat and sunglasses and showed his blonde hair and blue eyes. His
I knew him. This boy, Luke, I've seen him more times than I can count, lurking in the shadows around Greenwich. Now, Greenwich was a cute little complex, so I was the only that was...different. I dressed different, talked different. Acted different. I wasn't your average, middle class citizen. Oh no, in everyone else's eyes, I was a lower class blemish on this cute little place. And I loved every second of it. Every priceless face as they find spray paint on their door. It was hilarious. I look
We had finally done it! We were good enough to play on stage. We had sold all our tickets, which 100 initially felt like such an unreachable amount. Archaic was finally going to be playing the Battle of the Bands at Peabody's Down Under in Cleveland.

My point is that learning English for me wasn’t easy, but once I learned English, I was able to help out my parents more and a bunch of new doors opened for me.

Charles Spurgeon said “Anxiety does not empty tomorrow of its sorrows, but only empties today of its strength.” I never really thought about this until I started high school. I didn’t really have social anxiety until high school. Whenever I was called on or we were in groups, I would get anxiety so I told my mom about it and asked if I could do online school. I never really had social anxiety until last summer. Whenever we went shopping or anywhere where there were a lot of people, I would get kind
