Writing tonight?

Let me put it this way. Parents must try their hardest to be awesome parents. That’s what God wants. But the kids might turn out to be nasty people no matter what the parenting. If the parents actually parented well then they aren’t responsible. Kids, after all, have free will.

@Mark-Kamibaya Well, you’re right. 😛 I do think a child will be [Read more]

@Mark-Kamibaya OK, so I guess that means you follow American news pretty closely. 😀

Yes, we can always trust God to do His perfect will. That’s one of my favorite things ever. 😉

And yay for the Cubs! Even though I don’t watch sports. 😛 I love it when the underdogs win.

Serious?

There. Not serious anymore. No one can take that guy seriously. XD
I think it’s just because we’ve all got political burnout and are used to hotly disagreeing with people on this subject. Thank goodness for KP where disagreement is civil. 😛

But you’re right. We do still have a lot to be thankful for. And God’s sovereignty is very…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy Please don’t. I’m already trying to stuff the anti-stereotype rage back into my body.

@Mark-Kamibaya yes, that’s a much better way to put it. Great points.

And the sinless Christian stereotype… wow, don’t even get me started on that one. 😛

Yeah, @warrioroftherealm. You got it. But The AABB and ABAB rhyme schemes are a little too common in my eyes. That’s why I prefer the ABAA, ABBA, AABA, XXAA, and stuff like that.

The link attached to the sentence is a chart of close rhymes. That’s why it’s so important. The plosives, fricatives, and nasals are all sounds that sound similar. So,…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy @emma-flournoy @sleepwalkingMK @anne-of-lothlorien

We are better at hiding sin. And we sin because we have a sin nature. Not necessarily because we weren’t raised right. There are many adults who are horrible people but were raised in good homes. It’s kind of sad that I saw that from a young age. But parenting does impact kids in…[Read more]

The whole energy of this thread is just soo serious! It’s kind of scary.

Okay, so @rolena-hatfield I totally agree with you. God’s sovereignty is a great comfort. But considering all the things I was talking about I’m actually not worried. At this point the situation has changed from one that you can be proactive in (by voting) to one that you…[Read more]

I heard that Priebus is a Christian. Anyone have a take on that?

@Mark-Kamibaya ‘by their fruits you shall know them.’

In other words… I don’t think so. Same goes for Trump. I personally believe Trump was ‘over the line’, in your words, which is why I wouldn’t have voted for him (or Hillary) even if I had been old enough. But as far as…[Read more]

@SleepwalkingMK absolutely. XD

@Emma-FLournoy @Mark-Kamibaya yes, and you know why older people do that too? They weren’t raised right as kids. They never came out of that ‘everything centers around me’ stage that kids go through because no one ever taught them better.

Oh and @Mark-Kamibaya, are the Phillipines under the American government?

@Sarah-H Hm…intriguing…

@Mark-Kamibaya I might address several of your points, but I think Rolena’s right. I at least would rather not go into all of those on here, though if someone else takes you up I’ll be watching the conversation. 😉
For this one though I heard that Priebus is a Christian. Anyone have a take on that? —I also heard that…[Read more]

But kids tend to do many things for very bad reasons. Like they want attention or they covet or they hate too much or love obsessively (don’t you love run on sentences?).

@Mark-Kamibaya Older people do that sometimes too, though. Messed up ones. 😛

Okay so I’m very late. Very, VERY late.
But, all the same, I wanted to say WELCOME @ethryndal to the bestistest place on the internet (I have no doubt that you’ve heard that phrase before)! 😉
There will be no judging of insanity here, as we’re all insane, too. 😛 You’re bound to fit in quite well here.
Also, TOLKIEN! YES! TOLKIEN IS…Well,…[Read more]

@anne-of-lothlorien I’ll check out Beyond the Mask for sure. And I think Ever After would be cool too. Romance movies are totally my guilty pleasure (if you know what I mean).

@emma-flournoy Yeah. It’s harder to read books here. No libraries. I know you’ve mentioned the Mr. Smith Goes to Washington before so I’ll be sure to watch it. And I love A…[Read more]

Been five days. I’m late. NaNoWriMo strikes again.

Been five days. I’m late.

So I should know a lot about this . . . but I forget all that I’ve read. Okay, so here goes . . .

–Get rid of song cliches. Broken heart. Cold meaning emotional indifference. Light meaning knowledge. I mean come on!

–Learn rhyme schemes. It’s very important. Like AABB or ABAB are super common. Especially how they make the audience feel. Like…[Read more]
