Your Personal Blogger Guide: Getting to know Skandar

Hmmm...what to say?

[Ok, ok...I got one...]

My name is Allie Manhart.

[That was a good start right? I mean people need to know my name's not Skandar. However I am a fan of Skandar Keynes (Edmund Pevensie from Chronicles of Narnia) and I want to name my first born Skandar, that is IF I have kids]

I love God!

[God's pretty cool. If there is one thing I want the world to know, it's that one fact. GOD IS COOL! I think if people knew that God was actually cool, then they would be more willing to learn more about Him and maybe follow Him, or at least give Him a chance. If I can help one person to know that God is not an ol' fart-faced jerk, then I think my time here will be well spent.]

World Changers is one week of sheer awesomeness! If you've never went to a World Changers project, then you have no idea how uncool you are!

[I love it that God can make roofing a house fun! You learn so many things from WC, and God will bless you with a lot of new friendships with people from other cities and states. WC will show you just how neat God can be and just what He can do if you are willing to go and willing to let Him do His thing in your life. It's not an easy week. The work is really hard, and there are always people that will drive you crazy. But if you can let all that go for a week, it will change the wolrd for others...but most of all...it will change your world.]

I am a photographer.

[I love taking pictures! I have taken quite a few Senior pictures and had my share of weddings...which is all really awesome, but I love taking pictures of people as they are. Pictures of people just...living. There's nothing as neat as getting a mid-laughter shot of someone, or that look of happiness the bride gets on her face as she lays her head on her new husband's shoulder during their first dance. I would like to thank God for this talent that I have behind the camera. If it wasn't for Him randomly throwing the idea of photography in my mind, and strategically placing Rhonda Barnes (the lady who taught me everything I know about a camera and all the tricks with lighting) in my life as an awesome Sunday School teacher and killer Photographer, then I would be wondering the streets of life with only my name. Thank you, God! And I can't go without thanking my mom for allowing God to speak to me through her. She was the first to say "Hey Allie, that picture looks really good. You should think about photography." Thank you mom...I think you may have sparked a fire!]

I like being dumb, but I realize this is not very becoming...

Therefore I cut it down to Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays...only even/odd dated Mondays, that contain a one or two digit number, and only Wednesdays that fall in the middle of the week, I have also allowed days that start with "S".

[Need I say more on this matter???]



I hope you enjoy this blog about World Changers: Bonne Terre. I hope that myself and the others will do a good job of providing you with knowledge about what WC is doing, how the week is going, and giving you just some fun reading material. Thank you for reading getting to the bottom of the page...the fact that you read all of that, makes me feel wonderful!!! :P

Keep checking back for more updates!
