Happy New Year!!

2010 is gone. 2011 has arrived! I guess Eugene says it best in his song:

Out with the old year,
in the with new.
January's coming up,
December's nearly through.
umm...
blah blah blah bla-bla-blah
blah blah blah bla-blah
So....
Out with the old year,
Out with the old year,
Out with the old year,
In with the new!

LOL So...maybe he didn't say it better...  And, yes I know, January's already here, December's already through! But the principle is...OUT with the old year, IN with the new! Although I have learned a lot of things this past year. I have grown and matured. I am ready to leave that year behind! This is a time to start over and discover NEW things. To grow and mature EVEN MORE!!! WOW! How exciting! Can't wait! So...


HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

That is my profound thought for the new year...

*mumbles* ...now I can finally go to bed...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Long awaited....it is finally HERE!!! :D

So, it seems, the question of the month is WHERE IS THE "Friend of the Month"??? Here is my answer! :D This is December's "Friend of the Month" or maybe I should say friends of the month. Two great friends of mine from the beautiful country of Canada (which I can't call mine...yet! LOL *wink*)!  After a lengthy interview with the two cousins (in which we extracted everything there was to extract from them, HonduranChikka is proud to present: Mariah and Danae Burgoyne!! (Hope I spelled their names right)

HC: So, tell me a little bit about yourself.

 Mariah Burgoyne (MB): My name is Mariah Christine Burgoyne, I'm 14, and my birthday is on December 3rd. I'm 5'7 Mariah is the oldest of three in her family. Younger siblings Megan and Matthew are ages 12 and 8. Mariah received the Holy Ghost at the young age of six. Other random facts that she mentioned were: If I could live anywhere in the world, it would have to be...um...Belize, Honduras, Paris, California, Australia, or anywhere in Europe I guess. I love British accents. My most prized possession is my Ipod! I have 4 cats. I like to speak my mind; I am VERY opinionated. 


Danae Burgoyne (DB): My name is Danae Shelly Burgoyne. I am 14 years old. My birthday is August 10th. I am like around 5' 7'' 1/2. :)  Danae is the youngest of three kids in her family. Older siblings, Deena Belanger and Derek Burgoyne, are ages 21 and 18.

HC: Can you tell us about an embarrasing moment in your life?

MB: My most embarrasing moment: Well, one day, while we were currently remodeling our house, our carpenter was running late. So I was in the living room, standing on the couch, singing at the top of my lungs, when I hear a little laugh. And the carpenter was standing RIGHT THERE listening to me! Boy was I embarrassed!

DB: Um...I don't know! LOL I don't have any! I really don't get embarrassed a lot!

HC: Who are some great people in your life?

MB: I have the best men of God in my life! They are Bro. Daniel McKillop & Bishop McKillop. My role model would have to be Sis. Val McKillop. 


DB: Um... Sis Mckillop.. Sis Ruth... Sis Marcia.... 

HC: What is your biggest goal in life?

MB: Be what the Lord wants me to be.

Today's "Picture This" from SouthernGospel.com

A buddy of mine was flying from Seattle to San Francisco. Unexpectedly, the plane stopped in Sacramento along the way. The flight attendant explained that there would be a delay, and if the passengers wanted to get off the aircraft, the plane would re-board in 50 minutes.

Everybody got off the plane except one gentleman who was blind. My buddy had noticed him as he walked by and could tell the man was blind because his seeing eye dog lay quietly underneath the seats in front of him throughout the entire flight. He could also tell he had flown this very flight before because the pilot approached him, and calling him by name, said, "Keith, we're in Sacramento for almost an hour. Would you like to get off and stretch your legs?"  The blind guy replied, "No thanks, but maybe my dog would like to stretch his legs."

Picture this: All the people in the gate area came to a complete quiet stand still when they looked up and saw the pilot walk off the plane with the Seeing Eye dog! The pilot was even wearing sunglasses. People scattered.

They not only tried to change planes, but they were trying to change airlines!

HAHAHA Can you imagine??? :D

I just wanted to wish you a happy birthday, Mariah, (albeit a little late) and tell you how much of a blessing it is to have you as a friend!

Be a rose which gives fragrance even to those who crush it!
