The Inauguration

 The election of our newest president Barak Obama is one of the most remarkable in the history. Our first African American president that is now in office.  I think that he will make many changes while in office whether good or bad won’t matter due to being the first African American president. His being in office has brought out many mixed feelings in this time of peril. Sydney Bremer once wrote that Hope is the companion of power and the mother of success, for those of us who hope strongest have within us the gift of miracles. I pray that we are wrong maybe he will change the world.

The Spiritual Journey

This year I hope to become more active in my parish youth group. I hope to be more active on the pnd pontiff serving team. I pray that I may get up earlier to help serve morning mass. The alter serving team used to be made mostly of guys, but today one of the ladies came and joined us for an all school mass during Catholic Schools. “You will reciprocally promise love, loyalty and matrimonial honesty. We only want for you this day that these words constitute the principle of your entire life and that with the help of divine grace you will observe these solemn vows that today, before God, you formulate.” Pope John Paul II

Days Of Snow

Over this past week we had alot of snow and i found a great way to .........well i guess you could say shovel except we used a leaf blower and suprisingly enough it worked really well and it helped me get my drive ways done faster than i would have if i had only used a shovel to do the driveways.

The Journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step

Well howdy folks that’s week one of the second semester done, only twenty-three or so more to go. Not really much to report it pretty much has been a quiet week at Peoria Notre Dame. Tonight we are facing the knights on their court all I have to say is that I hope the Irish leprechauns slaughter the Richwood Knights, ok and maybe win the game to. “If you must play, decide on three things at the start: the rules of the game, the stakes, and the quitting time” ~ Chinese Proverbs quotes. It doesn’t matter if you win or lose its how well you played the game.

The Great Journey Begins

Hello I am Gabriel Blackert this is my first blog of many. On Monday I was playing Mario Kart on my family's Wii at my house. My sister couldn't speak because she had her wisdom teeth pulled. Ah! Silence is golden. Then my nephew came over, we are still waiting for his teeth to come in. He and my sister had one thing in common they both were drooling. On Tuesday, I went to Borders and bought some of my most favorite books. I’m stuck on the Star Wars series. I’m on the second book of the Coruscant Nights series.
