Daily Reading: Hebrews 6:1-8
usually I know write a popular verse but I think this is more interesting...
You've moved from preschool to elementary school, from elementary school to middle school. Some have already taken the big step from middle school to high school. your next goal is high school graduate, then college or a job. It's kind of like this in the Christian life, too. We all start out as baby believers, but we shouldn't stay this way.(Nobody wants to stay in Elementary School forever.) Day by day, we should be growing immaturity as Christians. That's the point in our key verse (Hebrews 6:1-2) So how do we do this? We need to read our bibles regularly and talk to God in prayer. We need to spend time with Christian friends. Doing these things consistently Will help us grow as believers until we graduate.

What I thought of the passage...
Having God in our hearts we need to please and honor him. We also need to have faith in him. Once we know God and his greatness if we do ever leave him we will repent for the rest of our lives in sorrow. If land has seed in it and is watered and cared for will produce a bounty of food. When the plant produced food it was a blessing of God. But land that is thorny and not properly kept is cursed, in the end it will be burned. We need to properly take care of Christianity if we want to move on in faith.
Daily Question:
If God loves me, why isn't life easier?
Then Jesus said to the disciples, "If anyone wants to be a follower of mine, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.
Matthew 16:24

CORNELIA & THE AUDACIOUS ESCAPADES OF THE SOMERSET SISTERS
BY LESLEY M. M. BLUME
Eleven-year-old Cornelia S. Englehart lives in New York City and is the daughter of world-famous pianists. Her legacy should feel fabulous, but instead feels just plain lonely. In a world where privacy is as rare as diamonds, Cornelia isolates herself in a fortress of books full of long and complicated words. But when a glamorous writer named Virginia Somerset moves next door with her servant Patel and her mischievous French bulldog, Cornelia discovers that the world is a much more exciting place than she originally thought.
First Page:
It was winter in New York City and the days were short. At three o'clock in the afternoon, the sun already hung low over the horizon, casting sharp pink light on the clouds above the skyscrapers.
Cornelia S. Englehart lagged five steps behind her classmate Lauren Brannigan as they walked down the street. School had just ended for the day.
Lauren wheeled around to face Cornelia, her long blond braids whipping through the air. "Come on, Cornelia," she said irritably, as if Cornelia were her annoying little sister. "Hurry up."
Cornelia reluctantly quickened her pace.

Summary:
George R. Clark is gifted. Mentally he is light years ahead of his class mates, and if you ask him, he's probably way ahead of most the middle school teaching staff.But socially he is at the bottom. Everyone is against him except Anita and the Bruise Brothers. The only reason George hasn't been killed by the bruise brothers is the fact that George's dad is the principal. Going on the 8th grade field trip without dad's supervision might be a little hard. Find out!
