Prayer is very important in our every day lives. My family prays a lot. We pray before breakfast, lunch, and dinner. We even pray before we go to bed. We pray before long trips and even before school tests. We really do pray a lot.

Should we pray before sports events too? Totally! However, the government doesn’t allow schools to pray. Now, private schools can pray like my churches school, Berean Christian School. However, in public schools, sometimes they don’t let you pray at all. So the question is not forcing schools to pray before games or anything else. Instead, the question is should schools be allowed to pray. 

In professional sports games, you should be allowed to pray before games. However, sometimes you are not allowed to. You can pray only if you want to. There was a man who prayed before every sports games. His name was Tim Tebow. He was a very dedicated Christian. He used to kneel on the field and pray to God. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18. Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.                                             

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Should student’s textbooks be replaced by computers? I think so. Why? Well, one reason is that computers are very easily portable. School textbooks are so big and heavy. There is one massive school textbook for every subject in school. While the computer only weighs a few pounds, and it can be carried in a backpack.

Another reason for why students should have computers instead of textbooks is because computers are updatable and text books are not. You can’t just update a textbook. If you want to update a textbook, you have to rewrite the whole thing. But if you have a computer, you just have to type stuff in. So easy!

One more  reason about why students should have computers instead of textbook is that computers have significantly more information than textbooks. If you have a textbook, you can only look up the information that it gives you. With a computer, you can look up any information you want. A textbook only gives you the information that the author of  the textbook wants you to have. Most of the time, this information is bias. If the author of a textbook is not a Christian, his book will teach you that evolution is real and that God does not exist. However, if you look up the same information on the computer, you will find articles by Christians that teach that God does exist and that He created the world.  It is important to know both sides of the story.
