Imagination.

     Isn't it a wonderful thing? Imagining... Stories. Pictures. Places. Colors. Shapes.

     And isn't it a slightly sad thing that imagination seems to fade with the rise of addicting TV shows and movies? Yeah.... you get to SEE all the vibrant colors and glorious landscapes, but you don't have the privilege to ENVISION it yourself! Perhaps that is the reason people get disappointed in movies that are based on books; your mind has a much different view of each scene. I know this from experience. I also know that movies tend to somewhat put your imagination in a box. You see, I spent this one summer just watching kids TV shows on da' YouTube. I now admit that it was my least creative summer. I never had any adventures in my mind. [ I have a habit of letting my mind wander and make up tales of every kind. Eh heh. Oops!] Even when I had my own stories to make up, I never had my own original characters or settings; they were somebody else's - things I had seen.

     I'm not saying eliminate all visual narratives, but make sure you take time to read! Fiiiiiine, you don't like to read {which I find ridiculous 'cause books hold the most suspenseful adventures of all}so then find an audio book or have somebody read to you! Same idea goes for if you don't have to to sit down and actually take the time to read! :D (Yes, I am extremely pro-literature, ifyoucouldn'talreadytell!)

     Maybe you don't share my love for novels and legends. Which is totally fine! But do your best to use your brain for other creative outlets! There's super-cool stuff like painting, hiking, collecting, and creating unique, well, *creations*. I know for a fact that there are even more amazingly wonderful ideas out there!!


Einstein knows his stuff!


     I would urge you to find something out there that intrigues you and stretches your imagination! God is creative with everything He made; so since we're made in His image, should not we desire to be creative? Let your imagination soar to times past - times of daring princes and forever green fields. Times of battles lost and won. Times of the future - the talking walls and genetically-modified super-vision.

     But if you "really don't have time" for all that "nonsense", then at the least imagine the person you want to be. Yes, I heartily think that too is important. The story of your life is one that can be forever molded and retold.

Christie.

     Hello folks! It's been a bit since I've popped on here. My apologies. I have been particularly busy of the late. And this post is a leeetle explanation of why. It has been given the name of "Christie", based on the book "Work, a Story of Experience".      It started on August 19 with auditions. We were given our parts on that nerve-filled afternoon. My dear Maria was given the lead. Soon after, practice started. We started off ever so slowly even with two practices a week. We came to a conclusion about a month ago that we indeed were too slow. Therefore two extra practices from nine to eleven p.m. were added for each remaining week. Well, we made it through the entire script! But the true question was, would we be able to maintain our sanity and pull this thing off? We had our first run-through this past Sunday. It was a crash and burn, and gave us the kick in the butt we needed.      You need to understand something a...

Musing of a Younger Me.

     Death can be a cruel monster, or it can be a darling lamb. Why would it viciously claim the life of a beautiful twelve year old girl, or a charming nine year old boy? But yet Grandma accepted it willingly, with grace and beauty.      God called them all by name to Him, and lets us ask questions. Now, don't get me wrong, I love God and don't wish to doubt His judgement. But I do wonder, why do beautiful children have to die in painful ways? What about the families? And friends? They are all just left to grieve and remember. To adjust and ponder. To question, "God, why?"     We don't know the answers right now. We may someday know, or not till we reach heaven. But God has a beautiful reply for each question we ask. And finally, when we reach heaven, we will see the beautiful part of the picture. We will smile and tell God, "I love you. Thank you for Your comfort, and thank you for never leaving me."     *And ...

Inside, Outside, Right-side Up.

The following words were written due to an assignment in which the students were to compare secular psychology to genuine, Biblical counseling. Christians often attempt to merge atheistic, secular psychology with God's Word, and it is quite the struggle. If you don't believe that it is difficult, please review psychologists stance on sin in comparison with God's explanation.  '“We all know that something is terribly wrong with us. We are not the way we’re supposed to be, either. There is evil in the world and there is evil in each one of us.” (Koukl, 174). Humanity has something inherently wrong with it. Mankind has realized this and thus has been searching for fulfillment for centuries. The great thinkers throughout the years have studied and searched the world in attempts to find out what that problem is, where it came from, and what to do to fix it. Secular psychology claims that the answer exists, but their answers are not of one accord. There seems to be one com...
