Proverbs 9

Proverbs 9:5 says, “Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine which I have mingled.” This means we need to follow in the ways of Jesus. I think sometimes it is hard for us to stand up and be Christian. We are afraid of what people will think of us. It isn’t easy to do the right thing all the time, but it is definitely just. This verse stuck out to me because it is something that is very hard to face as a teenager. For the first time in our lives, we have to state what we believe, not what our parents have told us to believe. It is much easier said than done.

We can always better ourselves to be more like Christ. I think going to church in college will be harder without being forced to by my parents. I will try to attend church weekly in college. Another thing I will try to improve on is doing more service in college. I think service really builds character. I would like to join clubs that benefit others in need. There is no better way to be like Jesus then to serve others.

http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/technology/2012/01/brit-is-first-woman-to-cross-antarctica-solo-on-skis/

Felicity Aston was the first human to travel across Antartica by herself. This story is one of amazement and courage. She finished her trip in 59 days. Her family could still read her tweets and track her down with technology. This story is so cool! It is very interesting to think someone could survive out in those freezing temperatures by themself for days. This feature story is one of great accomplishment.

Baby Born Deformed After Misdiagnosed Ectopic Pregnancy

http://abcnews.go.com/Health/w_ParentingResource/baby-born-deformed-misdiagnosed-ectopic-pregnancy/story?id=15421441

I choose this feature story because it really caught my eye. It is a timeless story; It can happen to a woman at any time. Rachel Schoger had an ectopic pregnancy. The sad part was the Dr. diagnosed it wrongly and gave her the wrong dosage of medicine. Her daughter was born with many complications even lacking female parts because of this mistake.  Today, after many surgeries, her daughter's life is basically normal. This story is very interesting. It is amazing that her daughtered lived, and it makes it aware to other women to get a second approval before taking this deadly medication. It is also a story of hope and survival.

Proverbs 8

My verse is from Proverbs 8:8 which states, “All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; there is nothing froward or perverse in them.” This means everything we say and do needs to be righteous. Our words and actions can’t be fake or contradict good morals. We have to do what is right and just, instead of what we want to do. It may not be easy at all times, but we need to follow God’s will. Sometimes it’s hard to stand up to others when they are doing the wrong thing. I will try to do the right thing even when it is hard. I will also pray to God more often to ask for strength to be righteous.

Kidney Transplant- Feature Story

http://www.foxnews.com/health/2012/01/16/transplant-nurse-donates-kidney-to-patient/?intcmp=features

I chose this for my feature story because I think it's interesting and people can relate to it. Clay Taber  graduated college and found out he had kidney failure. While he was in the hospital, a nurse he got to know decided she would donate a kidney to him. This is a good feature story because it is timeless.It can happen at any time. This subject also draws people in. It gives hope and inspiration to people. It's not every day someone decides to give a kidney to someone they just met. The writer gets across an emotional tone without expressing their personal tone openly, and that is why I think this makes a good feature story.
