Martin Luther King Jr.'s Birthday

I thought I would take the liberty of saying happy birthday to a great man. He solved a great problem without using any violence. That is just amazing!

A story I heard

Friends who believe in God. There are still miracles and healings performed by him. My bible teacher from school told me a story. This friend of his had a disease where she could not make babies. She, her husband, and my teacher went to a place where this traveling preacher taught a sermon. In the middle of it, he stopped and wrote a word on the board that was the disease his friend has. He said, "I don't even know what that word means, but I think someone has it in this room. Whoever has it please stand up." Two people stand up. The friend and someone else. He says to the other person, "No, you don't have it. Check with your doctor. I think you have something else." He says to my teacher's friend, "You have been healed, you may now have babies." The best part of all this is, she's had four children.

Things Going On Down South
submitted by chrono

You do not know this but a sighting of at least 5 new nappers has been shouted out by a normal guy down south. They are true blue nerds and love video games, band, and having fun. They are great to be around and I kinda wanted to know if they could join. I do not know if they would actually go through with this even after they join, but it is sure worth a shot. We must after all, spread the Nappers!

Future of the Napper News

I have been watching these past few months the patterns of who visits this Blog and who ignores it and who simply doesn't care anymore, and I've concluded that the majority of you either don't care about the future of this Blog, or just check it occasionally without commenting. Either way, it seems that everyone, except for a select few, simply don't care too much about the future of the Napper News.

First, I would like to comment one last time about the jobs. As this Blog grew larger and more sophisticated, I wanted to create jobs for everyone to establish some sense of order and make everyone feel more wanted in our Napper community. But, again, only a select few have put any effort towards making this possible. Ever since we held our re-elections in August, no one has put any effort towards finding people to fill the jobs that are still vacant. I took it upon myself after practically five months of waiting around to give myself a third job: the position of the Napper Historian/Archiver, since absolutely NO ONE else wants to do it. I've pretty much given up with this whole job concept, since no one seems to want to help me out, or make any effort to do so. So, from now on, if someone feels that someone is not doing their job(s) effectively, we WILL hold re-elections. But from now on, unless someone is not fufilling their job to the fullest, then their term will not stop at any point.

Next, I would like to discuss the Napper Constitution. First of all, has anyone even SEEN the Constitution? It's in the link section of the Blog on the right-hand side. This was another pretty much failed attempt to establish a better sense of order in this Blog and among the Nappers. But since, again, no one seems to truly care about taking this Constitution any further, then we will not do anything about it unless an issue comes up that we need to finalize. Since we're basically pulling the plug on the whole job concept, we'll take that out of the Constitution for now unless the majority of people actually CARE about it sometimes soon.

Lastly, I'd like to talk about the actual content of this Blog. If you remember way back in 4th and 5th grade (for those of you who were actually Nappers back then), I created the actual Napper News newspaper, where I actually put in NEWS. Now, I know I've stressed upon this issue in the past, but I am beginning to question the significance of this Blog. To me, this has turned from a source of news in the Napper community to the general conversation source among the Nappers. I would like to reserve this Blog for actual news, and save the talking for the Napper Talking Blog. So, please, in the future, please put anything that is not related to the news among the Nappers (or posts like this one) in the Napper Talking Blog.

Look, I've made a TON of effort ever since this Blog was created, and I had hoped back then that this would become simply the old Napper News in Blog-form. But it's become more than that, and that's not necessarily a bad thing, but it's gotten a bit out-of-porportion. So, unless people starting putting more effort towards caring about this Blog, then I'll stop putting in my best, because in reality, it seems like I'm doing all this work for absolutely nothing.
