Every year my church, Forest Hills Baptist Church, has a sale. We call it the Rummage and Bake Sale, though we tend to just call it the Rummage Sale. Everyone from the church comes together and donates unwanted things: old clothes, furniture, various holiday decorations, and much more. Then who ever wants to volunteer gets to help organize stuff, make it neat, and then help during the sale. A lot of us teen students help, because this sale is key to one of the biggest events of youth group: the Brazil Trip. My youth pastor has said that this is one of the biggest things that helps pay for the trip. Without it, we wouldn’t go nearly as often as we do, which is once every four years. Read more

On The Nose
A while back my youth pastor was teaching us about spiritual gifts. Spiritual gifts are gifts given to every Christian by God for the betterment of the church. Everyone has them to varying degrees, and it’s impossible for anyone other than God to know exactly how many we have, how strong they are, and how they manifest themselves. Maybe that’s why it was so hard for me to understand mine. Read more
The Christian Airplane
Have you ever heard of an airplane made of cardboard? One that could fly through the air, carrying its passengers to whatever their destination for no payment at all? Neither have I. At least, not one that actually worked. Welcome to another installment of TriforcePower everyone. Today I want to talk about a subject that my dad brought up fairly recently: the Christian’s super power. Read more

A Change of Perspective
Hey everyone! In case you forgot since the last time I blogged (which was, like, a month ago), my name is Zoe, and I’m a gamer who has a game blog. Well, sort of. I’ll explain after the break. Read more
PokeMystery: Mr. Bonding and the Pokemon Timeline

Mega Evolution: Yays and Nays
Hello everyone and welcome to an exciting new edition of Pokémonth! Goodness, an entire month has nearly come and gone, and hardly a post to show for it! Some people may not know, but Pokémonth originally started in celebration of the release of Pokémon X and Pokémon Y back in 2013. Now, three years later, another game that’s shaking up the rules of Pokémon is being released, and so I thought it would be nice to go back and take a look at one of the big shake ups of X and Y’s release: Mega Evolution.

Pokemonth!!
Ah, smell that in the air, folks? No, it’s not the smell of freshly fallen leaves, pumpkin spice lattes, and early Christmas decorations (though those are all great). It’s the smell of…Pokémonth! It’s that time of year again when I break out all of the stuff involving Pokémon that I’ve been brewing over lately and put it to good use. 😉
For all of you wondering, I will continue to work on posting about my recent trip to Brazil, and I hope to even do some posting about The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD. I’ve been really looking forward to this month, not just because this will have been my third month celebrating, but because I’ll be talking on things like Mega Evolution, Pokémon Sun and Moon, and inter-game timelines. I hope you guys are looking forward to this as much as I am, because I want to make this the best Pokémonth yet. See you guys soon!

Hi everyone! I know it’s been awhile, but yes, I did go to Brazil and I made it back in one piece! Of course, I actually left and came back in July, but I’ve been- no never mind, I’m not going to make excuses. I got lazy. But that’s all behind me. It’s time to sit down and tell you about my trip!
