Living Without School: Hello from Jonathon!

Hello from Jonathon!

Hey!!! Jonathon here.
Been a while since I was last posting here, so I thought there's no time like the present!
I'm not doing much right now. Just finished work on a new painting. It's called "Escape". Basically, it shows a kid walking through this field, away from his old life and into his new. I'll see if I can post pictures this week. Sadly, it's too big to scan and I'm currently not on speaking terms with our digital camera. It just doesnt understand me.

Tomorow I have youth band again, which should be fun! The members of the band came 'round on friday night and we all watched Back to the Future. I've been practising Michael J Fox guitar playing ever since....

Anyway, I'd better head off to bed. But first, I just want to say thankyou to mum and dad for being the best parents anyone could ever ask for. I know you're going to read this mum, so thankyou!! ;) I really am lucky.

Goodnight everyone! Hope you had as good a week as I did.

Jonathon

I think your mom must be pretty cool, too!

After all, she knows how to "get her freak on!"

I love that!; 1:02 am

So nice to hear from you! I really hope you can scan in your picture. You are encourageing me, as I like to dabble in watercolors and drawing a bit, too. Maybe if I can get my scannar or camera to talk to me I will post something, too. I don't do a lot of original stuff, I usually copy things. I really love the idea of you sharing a feeling or situation through your painting. I will say a prayer for your camera to be compliant. :)

I really like Micheal J Fox, too. Enjoy!

My boys have a blog, but it is all about gaming. I know they would love to have more kids visit it, so if you have time, please drop by. It is www.thegameguide.blogspot.com

They have not written a personal blog yet, but they are Stephen 16 and Bryan (almost 13) and a lot of their personality does show through in the blog. :)

And yes I think you have cool parents, too. Your mom is one of my favorite people.

Blog more!; 2:58 am

Anonymous said...: so nice to hear from you Johnathon - do you and the camera perhaps need some couples counselling? I have found that a third pary can sometimes shed some light on our differences, preferably a third party that actually speaks the same language as the darn camera/computer/VCR etc. Actually my experience is that I leave said camera and third party to be alone together and make a quick escape......

We have the trilogy on DVD of Back to the Future, I like the first and third but found the second a bit lacking.

Do you work in oils or acrylic? Your painting sounds great, you are at such an exciting stage of life!!

Prayer of Consecration of St. Maximilian Kolbe

O Immaculata, Queen of Heaven and earth, refuge of sinners and our most loving Mother, God has willed to entrust the entire order of mercy to thee. I, N___, a repentant sinner, cast myself at thy feet humbly imploring thee to take me with all that I am and have, wholly to thyself as thy possession and property. Please make of me, of all my powers of soul and body, of my whole life, death and eternity, whatever most pleases thee. If it pleases thee, use all that I am and have without reserve, wholly to accomplish what was said of thee: "She will crush your head," and, "Thou alone have destroyed all heresies in the whole world."

Let me be a fit instrument in thine Immaculate and merciful hands for introducing and increasing the maximum in all the many strayed and indifferent souls, and thus help extend as far as possible the blessed Kingdom of the most Sacred Heart of Jesus. For wherever thou enters, one obtains the grace of conversion and growth in holiness, since it is through thy hands that all graces come to us from the most Sacred Heart of Jesus.

V. Allow me to praise thee O Sacred Virgin.
R. Give me strength against thy enemies.

Prayer of St Bonaventure

Pierce, O most Sweet Lord Jesus, my inmost soul with the most joyous and healthful wound of Thy love, with true, serene, and most holy apostolic charity, that my soul may ever languish and melt with love and longing for Thee, that it may yearn for Thee and faint for Thy courts, and long to be dissolved and to be with Thee.Grant that my soul may hunger after Thee, the bread of angels, the refreshment of holy souls, our daily and supersubstantial bread, having all sweetness and savor and every delight of taste; let my heart ever hunger after and feed upon Thee, upon whom the angels desire to look, and may my inmost soul be filled with the sweetness of Thy savor; may it ever thirst after Thee, the fountain of life, the fountain of wisdom and knowledge, the fountain of eternal light, the torrent of pleasure, the richness of the house of God.May it ever compass Thee, seek Thee, find Thee, run to Thee, attain Thee, meditate upon Thee, speak of Thee, and do all things to the praise and glory of Thy name, with humility and discretion, with love and delight, with ease and affection, and with perseverance unto the end.May Thou alone be ever my hope, my entire assurance, my riches, my delight, my pleasure, my joy, my rest and tranquility, my peace, my sweetness, my fragrance, my sweet savor, my food, my refreshment, my refuge, my help, my wisdom, my portion, my possession and my treasure, in whom may my mind and my heart be fixed and firmly rooted immovably henceforth and for ever. Amen.
