Proverbs 9:12

Proverbs 9:12 " If you are wise, your wisdom will reward you; if you are a mocker, you alone will suffer." This verse teaches us that the more we learn, the more we will get. We should not make fun of others, in the long run it will hurt you more than anyone else. It is important because we need to learn to use the knowledge we are given and also realize that hurting others hurts us more than anyone. To help live our this verse we must learn to use the wisdom God gives us. We spend so much time learning about it and need to put the knowledge to good use. We can do all kinds of things like help out the less fortunate. God has taught us what is good, and we need to use his wisdom to help others. We can also treat others with respect. If we are cruel to others or ignore them, it is not just hurting the other person, it is hurting us as well. We need to realize that everyone has struggles and we need to be understanding of them.

Proverbs 8

 My fruit is better than fine gold; what I yield surpasses choice silver. (8: 19) This verse sticks out to me because it is saying that what God has to offer is better than anything in the world. It is strange to think of picking God over money or expensive things we think we need. Two actions steps I could take would be try to not be so dependent on material things like clothes or ipods. The next time I want to buy more things I can  just remember what is actually important. Another action I could take would be to give some of my clothes and things to a shelter or childrens place that needs the items much more than I do. I could do this because God and his people are much more important than money or materials.

Feature Articles

Limited Parking during school- This article would be about the frustrating parking issues many of the students have. Some mornings it is very hard to find a spot or you have to walk a couple blocks in the cold wind to make it to school. If you park in the wrong spot, students are unjustly punished!!!

The Hunger Games- A majority of our students have been reading this exciting series and can't get enough. I could interview students and get their opinion of the books. Also, the movie is coming out March 23 so it could promote the students to spend one of their weekends out with friends going to a movie.

The Best Multivitamin for you

I chose the feature article "The Best Multivitamin for you-- and 11 to steer clear of" because I think it could relate well with everyone's life. Many people take vitamins daily and would find this information interesting. You could also put it in the paper at any time, there is no certain deadline. I also chose this story because of the subject matter. This article makes people look at vitamins in a different way, and reminds them to double check what they're taking.
