Hello and welcome back to MCL. Today, I have some great news. I need you to pray for me because...
A) As you may already know, I've been a Christian most of my life. Recently, though, I've been feeling I've been slipping away from God. So, I'm re-dedicating my life to Him. I'm ready to take the next step on my path of faith. I am setting sail for unchertered waters on a new ship, the U.S.S. Forgiven. But, as long as God is at the helm, I know I'll safely reach shore.
B) My family and I are heading to Branson tomorrow morning! We'll be back on July 2, so you can hope to get pictures around that time. Please pray for safe passage for us. I'll see you soon.
As I begin this new chapter of my life, please pray that the Lord will bless me and put me on the right path.
Good day, and Godspeed.
A discussion of computing,life,faith, and whatever else floats to the top of my head.

Toy Story 3
Hey, Howdy, Hey! Gather round, partners. It's time for Woody's Roundup!
You might be thinking What? Has Miss Cellaneous gone nuts? Is this the right blog? I assure you, the entry was all a joke. I got inspired to do it because I just saw Disney-Pixar's new movie, Toy Story 3. It's a hilarious, heartfelt story about love, friendship, and loyalty.
In this new movie, Andy is going to college. His old toys have been collecting dust in the toy box for years. And, several friends have been sold in garage sales. Wheezy, RC, and even Bo Peep, are gone. The remaining toys are worried about what fate has laid ahead of them. They're scared of being thrown away, never to be played with again. But Woody has other ideas.
Woody believes that, deep down, Andy still loves his toys. He wants to make sure he is always there for Andy. So, he hopes that the toys will be moved to the attic, to wait for Andy's kids to find them.
Only, his plans change when a mistake occurs. Andy looks through his old toys, and puts Woody in a box he's taking with him to college. The others, are put in a trash bag. Don't jump to conclusions, now. Andy exits the room, and Woody watches. The toys were being put in the attic!
Along comes a now tween-age Molly, with a box of her old toys that she's donating to Sunnyside Daycare. Andy sees her struggling, puts down his bag, and helps her. The attic door closes.
Mom walks through the hallway with another trash bag. She nearly trips over the bag with Andy's toys. She thinks it's trash, so she puts in on the curb along with the other trash.
Woody rushes to save his friends. When they're safe from the landfill, they see the Sunnyside box and think that daycare would be the best place for them, since they thought Andy was throwing them away. Woody tries to convince them to stay, but they don't listen. They all jump in the box, and Woody is trapped in the back of the van along with them.
Now, the toys are on their greatest adventure yet. They have to escape daycare so that they can get to Andy, who is desperately searching for the toys, leaves for college. They have a lot in their way. Only you can find out what happens in this movie filled with suspense, hugs, laughs and a Mexican Buzz.
I, personally, think the movie was GREAT! Spanish Buzz is hysterical! The whole movie had me laughing and crying all the way through. My 3-D glasses fogged up at one point! The ending was absolutely priceless. I was so happy for the toys.
I think that Disney- Pixar could make a fourth one if they really tried. Only, if they did, I have one request: PLEASE bring Bo back! I LOVED her. Here's a plot for a possible Toy Story 4:
The closer Buzz and Jessie get, the more Woody misses Bo. What he had with her was irreplaceable. When Bonnie (you'll meet her in 3) comes home from a garage sale, she brings home a surprise guest: Bo! Woody is elated when he sees her. Only, after years at a different home, it changed Bo. She doesn't remember much about her life with Andy. A bell rings when she sees Woody, but she can only remember the times Woody was missing. She can't seem to re-kindle her feelings for Woody, no matter how hard he tries to remind her of what they had together. Can Woody, with help from his friends, help Bo remember the past? Or will she keep pushing it away?

It's Official!
It's finally official: I'm going to Branson!
We are leaving on June 26. We're going to be visiting Silver Dollar City, Laura Ingalls Wilder Home, Ripley's Believe it or Not Museum, and so much more.
Along the way, I'll be taking along my trusy camera, hopefully, equipped an average size SD card. I'll be taking pictures of what I do and see and post them on here when I get back.
I should be back around July 1 - 3, so you can expect pictures by that time.
See you later!

Summer
Hey, everyone. As you know, summer is here. That means lots of travelling, visiting family, travelling to visit family, and just vacation in general. I don't have any set-in-stone plans, but I have an idea f what I want to do.
Well, like I said, nothing is positive, but my family and I might be going to Branson, Missouri for a long weekend. It would be fun to go to Frontier City, and ride a few things. I'd love to ride on the Branson Belle.The Branson Belle is a showboat. It's kind of like a dinner theater on the water. I'd also like to just sightsee: to see new things, to learn more to write about, and so much more.
Other than that, I'm going to be watching YouTube, typing up manuscripts, and reading. Since I'm taking Pre- AP English next year, I have to read Walk Two Moons by Sharon Creech. I'm not sure what it's even about. Another book I hope to read is Only the Good Spy Young by Ally Carter. It's too exciting to explain right now.
Another thing I'm doing this summer is saving up to buy a Nook eReader from Barnes and Noble. I've done some serious work and research to find what was best for me. I still have eleven weeks to go before I earn enough to afford it. I MIGHT put a countdown clock on one of my blogs, if you'd be interested.
See you!
