IF PLUTO AIN'T A PLANET, CAN THEY CHANGE MY 8TH GRADE SCIENCE GRADE?

Call me old fashioned, call me bullheaded, but I still think Pluto deserves its status as a planet. I mean, that's what they taught us. They also taught us that Christopher Columbus was a great man. An explorer who founded one great country. They also taught us to recite the Pledge of Allegiance.

But before I go on about all the virtues and values that we were taught and reveal how really old I am, that's not the point of this entry. So what is? Well, as usual, it's about God.

God knows whether it's a planet or not. I mean He made it. That's another thing they taught us--use captial letters when referring to God. Not just the G; little g was reserved for the fake ones like Zeus, although they did allow a capital Z. But also when using the pronoun (He/Him). When and where we lost that, I don't know, but if you ever catch me not using the capital letter in any reference to God or He or Him, it's a mistake. I know some of the things we learned in school we're right, no matter who says they aren't now.

So what else does God know? How about the stars. Not only did He place them in the skies, He named each one. If that's not paying attention to the minutest of details, I don't know what is. How about the sparrows? the hairs on our heads? our hearts?

What a mighty God is He!! And I figure He doesn't even care what my 8th grade Science grade was.
