Short Pondering of the Younger Kara.

I wish there would be tears in heaven. Not the sad tears, but the happy tears. Those are the dancing tears. They wear glitter and streamers. They are clothed in every color imaginable. They skip and trot down your cheeks, laughing with you. And their specialty is making memories.

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...

Marx on Society

The following was written for Bro. Daniel Yoder's class, Cultivating a Christian Mind . It was a philosophy class, but was vaguely renamed at some point due to the low interest level the students had in philosophy. Or so rumor has it. Regardless of the title's history, we were given a list of acceptable topics to write about for our term papers. My choice was then to write about a philosopher, and so my research on Karl Marx began. Enjoy. Everything begins with a thought. In order to place this universe in existence, God spoke. But before those words came the thoughts. God played with ideas of worlds, peoples, and what would happen on those planets. As a Creator, those thoughts spurred God on to create this small world with its human infestation. Mankind is made in the image of the Creator, which allows him to think critically and curiously about the hypothetical. Karl Marx is one of those men whom God created and who also chose to dream about an ideal world. Marx may have...

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 ...
