My Ancestors

Over 500 years ago (1501 or 1507) a women was born ,her name was Ann Boleyn . She was the daughter of Thomas Boleyn and lady Elizabeth Howard. She grew up and became King Henry VII's second wife. King Henry wanted a boy to take over the crown. But, Ann Boleyn boar him two daughters . King Henry VII was angry and wished to divorce Ann Boleyn . She refused; if she did not divorce ,her eldest daughter would become queen. King Henry was angry ,he gave her a choice. She was to refuse the divorce and die so her daughter would become queen, or she could divorce and live, but her daughters would fall out of the royal blood line. She selected death, so King Henry VII chopped her head off and her eldest daughter , Elizabeth, became the queen after her father's death. Ann Boleyn died on May 19 ,1536 in hope her daughter ,Elizabeth, would become Queen of England. My family traced back to that time, we were some how related to her (cousins).

I pray God save the king and send him long to reign over you

,for a gentler nor a more merciful prince was there never: and to me he was ever a good ,a gentle and sovereign lord .....And thus I take my leave of the world and of you all ,and I heartily desire you all to pray for me . O Lord have mercy on me , to God I commend my soul .

Cooling Off with Drawings

Sometimes when I come home, I feel depressed , angry, and very lonely. It is hard being in Middle School . Every student is deciding what path to take ,where to go. They can't think, so they just are mean to everybody . Those bullies out their are just scared little people. It just makes them feel good when they bully. Yesterday, there was this kid that would not stop picking on me. I then said, " I WILL fight you ANY day and time you want!", he then turned completely pail and walked away. At the beginning of the school year I sat near this bully, he kept picking on me every class period. I finally elbowed him in the arm, he NEVER messed with me again. Now ,he respects me. But, every body in the school is still mean . I still come home depressed because I have no one to hang with. So then, I place my feelings in paper. I work on a drawing for hours at the time. On the left, you see a drawing I drew yesterday. It asks you which path you want to take. Do you want to be a servant of God, be loyal and be kind? Or, tease and bully everyone ? The stars symbolize the servants and the demons symbolize those who take the wrong path . I now have found the way to overcome depression, prayer, and drawing. Try this, see how it works for you. Yesterday I prayed ,asking God if he would send his angels to keep all the bullies away and let in kindness. Well, I went to school and NO one teased me that day. Even girls started talking to me. I know understand that prayer works .I have faith in God. I will follow him forever and ever more . God will stand with me when I get bullied, when I draw, when I am depressed. He will be with me always.

Do you need me to pray for you???

I love praying to my mercy full savior, Jesus Christ. If something going on in your life, tell me and I will pray . If you want ,I will spread your prayer to my friends and even post it on my next post. If you don't want me to do that, just tell me . You can send your prayer to mebowlimg@comcast.net . Thank you so much for sharing.

God Bless Forever,

But, I did get one from the Lady-in-Waiting (royal adviser to the queen, pic shown on right) and some info about the queen) . This time a drew a huge 3-dimensional picture of B.
