"JULIA COME HERE!"<br />
the lost phone<br />
A TRUE STORY<br />
Written by Julia F.<br />
My mom yelled my name. What did I do? As I thought<br />
what I could have done, I put my phone in my pocket<br />
and ran to my parents’ room.<br />
"Can you write down all the classes you took? I need<br />
them for your transcript." My mother was standing at<br />
her laptop and typing away like a mad person.<br />
"Yes ma'am," I answered, and walked back to my<br />
bedroom.<br />
I sat down on my bed, found a notebook, and scribbled<br />
down my classes. Then I headed back to my room.<br />
I reached for my phone charger which was lying next<br />
to an outlet. As I picked it up, my phone wasn't<br />
attached.<br />
I looked at my charging station that doubles as an<br />
alarm clock.<br />
It wasn't there either.<br />
I looked at my bed.<br />
I moved my pillows.<br />
I moved my blankets.<br />
I looked under my bed.<br />
I looked on my widow seat.<br />
And then I felt a buzz.<br />
I felt a buzz again . . . and then checked my back pocket.<br />
My screen read:<br />
Mandy Spam Carver Maul Them (2)<br />
iMessage<br />
Sigh.<br />
Don’t ask.<br />
So I would now like to thank Amanda for texting<br />
me because I wouldn't have found my phone.<br />

BOYFRIENDS AREN’T IDOLS<br />
Written by Rachel M.<br />
Author's Note: I cannot say that I have this lesson<br />
completely learned. It is a daily struggle to give your<br />
heart to God—a daily submission. I also must say that<br />
this idea was not entirely my own, but the story is<br />
completely mine.<br />
Lisa squealed as another text from her crush, Kevin,<br />
popped up on the screen. When she saw what it said,<br />
she emitted another squeal. Her best friend, Jess,<br />
grinned at her across the room.<br />
other friends. One day Jess came up and said to<br />
her "Lisa, what's happened? I hardly get to talk<br />
to you at all anymore!"<br />
Lisa shrugged her shoulders and flipped her hair.<br />
"Nothing's happened. I'm still your best friend."<br />
Little by little, Lisa drew away from others and<br />
drew closer to Kevin. Kevin, Kevin, Kevin. He<br />
became her everything. The one person she<br />
wanted to spend her time with. The reason she<br />
woke up. The reason she went around with a<br />
smile on her face. Before, God had been the<br />
reason she woke up, the One she wanted to<br />
spend time with, and the One Who put a smile on<br />
her face.<br />
Kevin became her everything.<br />
The one person she wanted to<br />
spend her time with—the reason<br />
she woke up—the reason she<br />
walked around with a smile on<br />
her face.<br />
"What's up?" she asked.<br />
"Kevin just asked me out!" said Lisa, grinning from ear<br />
to ear.<br />
Jess was on the bed next to her in an instant. "Really?"<br />
she asked. "That's great! What are you going to say?"<br />
"I'll have to ask my parents first," said Lisa. She quickly<br />
sent her mom a text asking her mom for permission.<br />
Because her family had known Kevin's for years, her<br />
mom quickly agreed. Lisa then sent Kevin a text,<br />
saying she would love to go out on a date with him.<br />
That was the beginning.<br />
Before long, they were one of the most popular couples<br />
at church. They both had a passion for God that others<br />
envied. Besides just dating, they also would pray<br />
together and serve at church.<br />
Lisa wanted to be sure that she didn't start pushing<br />
others out of her life, so she continued to invest time in<br />
her family and friends. However, as the months, and<br />
then a year, went by, she began spending more and<br />
more time with Kevin, and less time with Jess and her<br />
One day, Lisa confessed to Jess. "I just don't know<br />
what I would do if Kevin broke up with me."<br />
Jess frowned. "Lisa, have you considered that<br />
maybe, possibly, Kevin has become an idol in<br />
your life?" Continued on next page.<br />

I'm not an extrovert, but not fully and introvert either!<br />

FIRST THING FIRST<br />
Written by Katherine (Katie) M.<br />
Hey, girls! My name is Katie Matesevac. In May, I<br />
graduated from high school at Bob Jones<br />
Academy. I’m here to tell you what college life is<br />
like.<br />
Well, so far, the best part of college is that it<br />
hasn’t started yet. My three younger siblings all<br />
had to go back to school on August 17 th . I will<br />
move into the dorms on August 28 th , and classes<br />
start on <strong>Sep</strong>tember 2 nd . So, for now, I get to stay<br />
home and relax (and do my chores) until I move<br />
in.<br />
I didn’t have to move into the dorms, but I chose<br />
to. My family lives less than five miles from Bob<br />
Jones University, where I will be attending, but it<br />
is much simpler for me to live in the dorms. I’ll be<br />
closer to everything, and I won’t have to worry<br />
about commuting back and forth for evening<br />
activities.<br />
I have two roommates, but I’ve only met one of<br />
them. Her name is Kelly. My grandma, who lives<br />
in Pennsylvania, introduced us three years ago.<br />
WE have remained friends, despite only seeing<br />
each other a few times since then. My other<br />
roommate’s name is Jill. I’ve never met her, but<br />
my dad knows her parents from when he was a<br />
young man. I’m sure she’ll be very nice and we’ll<br />
all get along wonderfully.<br />
I was very careful in picking a roommate. My<br />
mom has always said that you should never room<br />
with your best friend, because you’ll hate each<br />
other by the end of the year. So I picked Kelly,<br />
because she was a nice, amiable girl who I knew<br />
moderately well. Every time my grandma sees<br />
me, she tells me how excited Kelly is that she is<br />

Laugh out loud at the cute things that six-year-old<br />
Benjamin and four-year-old Amelia say!<br />
Rachel was asking her brother what a beaver is.<br />
Benjamin insisted he knew, claiming it was as<br />
follows:<br />
“It’s a bird, like a goose. And it has red feathers<br />
and it flies around.”<br />
Amelia’s prayer one day.<br />
“Thank you for the changing leaves.”<br />
Her dad said, “Thank you for their beauty” so she<br />
could repeat him.<br />
Amelia promptly repeated, “Thank you for their<br />
‘booty!’”<br />
my roommate. I already know that we are going<br />
to have a great year.<br />
My biggest struggle this year will<br />
probably be time management.<br />
I have to fit classes, homework, devotions,<br />
church, two jobs, and social time with my<br />
friends into 24 hours a day, or 168 hours in a<br />
week. And I can’t forget that I have to sleep and<br />
eat as well! It will be a challenge, but I have a plan.<br />
My first and primary goal is to do well in my<br />
classes and to work hard at work. My<br />
devotions must be faithfully attended to every<br />
day. After I have completed these responsibilities,<br />
I will enjoy time spent with my friends.<br />
Church will still be very important. I will continue<br />
attending Colonial Hills Baptist Church, where my<br />
parents have taken my siblings and I since we<br />
moved down to South Carolina. Although BJU has<br />
chapel four days a week, church is still very<br />
important because it provides a chance for<br />
fellowship that is not available in chapel.<br />

I will also keep helping out in the two-and-threeyear-old<br />
nursery Sunday School class as I have been<br />
doing. I will also keep singing in the choir and<br />
playing my trumpet in our mini orchestra. These are<br />
the ways in which God has called me to serve, so I<br />
have to keep doing them. God has richly blessed e<br />
with many opportunities to serve Him, and I’m<br />
thankful for them. I look forward to serving the Lord<br />
in any capacity this year.<br />
Please pray for me as I embark on this exciting<br />
segment of my life. I look forward to telling you guys<br />
all about my amazing college experience in later<br />
magazines. See ya! <br />

AUTHOR<br />
Submitted by Amanda B.<br />
If you check out our blog often, you know who Robin<br />
Jones Gunn is. A few months ago, we made a review<br />
video on her award-winning book series, featuring<br />
Christy Miller. Now get to know the face behind the<br />
books . . . and find out if a career as an author might<br />
be something you would enjoy.<br />
1. What kinds of books have you written?<br />
I’ve been writing for over 25 years and have written<br />
fiction, non-fiction, devotionals, children’s books and<br />
novellas. Just about a little of everything.<br />
2. What subjects do you have to study to be an<br />
author? It varies, of course, depending on what field<br />
of writing you plan to go into. I took a lot of English<br />
courses as well as Creative Writing courses and<br />
attended conferences on writing. Many of my writer<br />
friends majored in Journalism and found that<br />
prepared them to be able to write short pieces and<br />
articles first. After that they expanded to writing<br />
books.<br />
3. What kinds of stories do you enjoy writing<br />
best? The majority of the 85 books I’ve written are<br />
fiction because I love telling stories. I like writing<br />
about characters who feel like they could be real<br />
people. In the story they are trying to understand<br />
how God is leading them in whatever they are going<br />
through.<br />
4. Please describe a typical day of work<br />
(writing). Every day is different. I’m an early riser so<br />
for many years I’ve gotten up at 3am in order to<br />
write for several hours while my thoughts are fresh<br />
and the house is nice and quiet. Some days I write<br />
on a laptop while sitting outside. Some days I sit at<br />
my desk and work on the main computer. Other<br />
days I’ll go to the beach and sit and write in my<br />
journal.<br />
What made you decide to be a writer? I’ve<br />
always been a storyteller but I didn’t grow up<br />
thinking I wanted to be a writer. I didn’t plan on<br />
being a writer when I was in college. I was more<br />
interested in doing foreign missions work or doing<br />
youth ministry at a church. I married a youth pastor<br />
and started writing for teens. The Christy Miller<br />
series grew from one book into many more and I<br />
continued to write as a result of the interest of the<br />
readers. I honestly don’t think there has ever been a<br />
moment when I decided to be a writer. I just wanted<br />
to follow God and serve Him and this is where He led<br />
me.<br />
6. Where was your first job? I started working at a<br />
Carl’s Jr. fast food restaurant when I was 16. It was<br />
down the street from where we lived and I didn’t<br />
have my driver’s license yet so I walked to work. We<br />
had to wear uniforms with silly hats and I always<br />
walked as fast as I could so that no one I knew from<br />
school would see me.<br />
7. Have you had any interesting things happen<br />
to you while writing stories? Yes. Always. Many<br />
of the interesting life experiences I’ve had ended up<br />
in one of my stories eventually. When I was writing<br />
the Sisterchicks series I was traveling around the<br />
world to all the locations in the books. I went to<br />
Australia, New Zealand, Paris, Venice, England,<br />
Mexico, Finland, Hawaii and the Netherlands. Crazy,<br />
fun things happened on each of those trips. Those<br />
moments ended up in the books and sometimes my<br />
editor would say that we needed to take those parts<br />
out. They were too unbelievable. More than once I<br />
remember telling her, “But they really happened.”<br />
She would say, “Maybe so, but no one will believe it.”<br />
When I was getting ready to do the research for<br />
“Sisterchicks Go Brit” I invited my editor to travel<br />
with me to England. She was thrilled to come along<br />
and yes, crazy, fun things happened. From then on<br />
she let me keep lots of those moments in the books.<br />
8. What is the best thing about being an<br />
author? For me the best thing is being able to do<br />
what I was created to do. I love being able to be<br />
creative and expressive through the stories I write.<br />
9. Do you have to like certain things in order to<br />
do this occupation? I think you have to get used to<br />
a lot of criticism and a lot of people who want to tell<br />
you what to do. You don’t have to like that sort of<br />
constant input but I think you have to really like<br />
what you’re doing and like people in a<br />
compassionate sort of way. Otherwise the many<br />
opinions you hear will make you want to become<br />
more withdrawn.<br />
10. How do you get ideas for new story plot<br />
twists? From life. While I’m writing, I usually don’t<br />
know what’s going to happen next in the story. I<br />
know the characters and the problems they’re<br />
facing. As I write, I think about what I’ve seen in real<br />
life that is similar to what the characters are going<br />
Page | 7 Volume 4, Issue 5
through and as I write the plot twists the ideas<br />
just keep coming.<br />
11. How do you create new characters? I cut<br />
pictures out of magazines and paste them on a<br />
piece of paper in one of my story notebooks. I<br />
introduce myself to the character and ask their<br />
name. It opens up a free flowing sort of<br />
creativity in my imagination. I write down what I<br />
think about that character and in a sense I get to<br />
know them. Sometimes they remind me of<br />
people I know and sometimes they are similar to<br />
someone I’ve seen in a movie.<br />
12. Have you ever earned any awards? If so,<br />
what for? My first awards were from the Biola<br />
Writer’s Conference for an article and one for<br />
the most promising new writer. I won two<br />
awards from the Mount Hermon Christian<br />
Writer’s Conference for poetry and one for being<br />
the writer of the year. I was honored with three<br />
Christy Awards for excellence in Christian<br />
fiction. I received two Reader’s Choice awards<br />
from FHL of the Romance Writers of America.<br />
My favorite award was one that I received in<br />
sixth grade from the Daughters of the American<br />
Revolution. I wrote an essay on “What America<br />
Means to Me” and I won first place. <br />

CHOCOLATE TRIFLE<br />
LORRAINE<br />
Submitted by Emily K.<br />
From Victoria magazine<br />
INGREDIENTS<br />
For the cake:<br />
4 oz. unsweetened baking chocolate, broken<br />
into pieces<br />
4 tbsps. unsalted butter, softened<br />
1 2 / 3 c. boiling water<br />
2 1 / 3 c. unbleached all-purpose flour<br />
2 c. sugar<br />
½ c. sour cream<br />
2 large eggs<br />
2 tsp. baking soda<br />
1 tsp. salt<br />
1 tsp. vanilla extract<br />
For the chocolate fudge:<br />
4 tbsp. unsalted butter<br />
1 ½ c. chocolate chips<br />
¾ c. heavy cream<br />
2 ½ c. sifted confectioners' sugar<br />
1 tsp. vanilla extract<br />
For the filling and decoration:<br />
1 ½ c. raspberry preserves<br />
Fresh raspberries<br />
Heavy cream<br />
INSTRUCTIONS<br />
1. Preheat the oven to 350 F. Butter and flour a<br />
13x9x2 inch cake pan.<br />
2. In a bowl, combine the chocolate, butter, and<br />
boiling water and stir until smooth.<br />
3. With an electric mixer set on low speed, add<br />
the remaining ingredients until just combined.<br />
So not overbeat.<br />
4. Pour batter into prepared cake pan and bake<br />
for 40 to 50 minutes or until a cake tester<br />
inserted in the center comes out clean.<br />
Continued on next page.<br />
Page | 8 Volume 4, Issue 5
Continued from previous page.<br />
5. Let cake cool in the pan on a rack for 10<br />
minutes. Invert the cake onto the rack and let it<br />
cool completely.<br />
6. Cut the cake into cubes and let dry at room<br />
temperature for a few hours.<br />
To make fudge:<br />
1. In a saucepan set over low heat, combine all<br />
the ingredients and whisk until smooth. Keep<br />
warm.<br />
2. In a large bowl, arrange 1 / 3 of the cake cuber<br />
in a layer, spread 1 / 3 of the raspberry preserves<br />
over the cake in a thin layer, and drizzle with 1 / 3<br />
of the fudge.<br />
3. Repeat with 2 more layers of cake, raspberry<br />
preserves, and fudge, decoratively swirling<br />
fudge over final layer.<br />
4. Chill for 4 to 6 hours. Before serving, decorate<br />
the top of the trifle with fresh raspberries. Serve<br />
with a pitcher of heavy cream.<br />
Yield: about 8 to 10 servings<br />
Note: When my sister Lydia made this, she made<br />
a layer cake instead of a trifle. She just spread<br />
the preserves and fudge in between each layer,<br />
and then drizzled the extra fudge over the whole<br />
thing and decorated with fresh raspberries, mint<br />
leaves, and chocolate chips (her own idea). It<br />
turned out amazing! She made it for a family<br />
birthday, so she also wrote Happy Birthday on<br />
white icing in the front. <br />

BOOK NOOK<br />
The school year can be so busy. It’s hard to find time to read when you’re writing essays, studying for tests,<br />
practicing an instrument, playing a sport, or whatever else you enjoy participating in. Make it a goal to read<br />
at least one book every month. Recommended: Flipped, Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte, and Jane Eyre<br />
by Emily’s sister, Charlotte.<br />
