@phoenix Those are some really hard questions to grapple with. I would really encourage you to talk about it with someone that you trust. Your pastor, youth pastor, or parents.

There are two truths that come to me when I think of your question.

First, God is good.

Psalm 107:1 says, “Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures…[Read more]

Not so coincidently, there are some pretty clear Bible verses about this. Everything is our life has to do with God. As @naiya-dyani said, glorifying God is our purpose in life!

1 Corinthians 10:31, “So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.”

Colossians 3:17, “And whatever you do, in word or deed, do…[Read more]

@phoenix I actually just got back from a writing conference where I sat on a session in this exact topic! I thought the session was about writing characters with tragic backstories. It was not. (Note to self: Read the descriptions carefully when choosing what to go listen to.)

The writer said that there are two ways to write about trauma. There…[Read more]

@lady-frosttongue That is a scary thing to go through. I will be praying.

@michelle Sure!

@katthewriter

Maybe you could say something reminding her that life with God is not all rainbows and puppies, and writing like it is is reflecting a false view of reality, and in fact a false view of God. If her writing tells people that the love of God instantly solves all worldly problems then she is lying about who God is. And that is a serious thing.

@emgc I specifically took US History 1 and 2, Western Civ 1 and 2, US Government, and College Algebra. Study guides for the AP of those subjects were also a good resource.

@emgc I think that pretty much all the tests are multiple-choice, so that’s nice. 50 is a passing score, and I think you need to get about 80% right? The website below has more information for individual cleps.

A really good website for CLEPS is http://www.free-clep-prep.com/ They have information on how difficult the test will be, the material,…[Read more]

@emgc I will sing the praises of the CLEPs. They are what allowed me to double major, since credits that I normally would be putting towards gen ed classes can be niche classes for my second major. I LOVE the CLEPs and would encourage anyone to take as many as they can. Have you taken any before?

I’m not really one to make resolutions because I…[Read more]

@michelle I write fantasy. Mostly fairytale retellings and stories with cool magic systems. I actually have been publishing short stories online at https://medium.com/@amy_49007 I also am technically am working on a novel… technically… I haven’t look at it in a while…

What about you?

@michelle Okay then… *backs away slowly*

You will be happy to know that Olaf dies in this movie then! And then he is brought back. I think he is annoying, yeah, but seriously, the scene of him recounting Frozen 1 is super funny.

By the way, @michelle, we generally only tag the whole guild when we are making a new post or need everyone to see a post for some reason. Not just for making conversation. 🙂

@seekjustice @michelle The gecko was cute. It wasn’t in it much. Prepare to be buried in an avalanche of a rant.

HEAVY SPOILERS!!!

*clears throat* I have created a numbered list:

THE BAD THINGS

1. It was thematically scattered. I honestly am not sure what the theme was. It has something to do with Change and the fact that It Happens but I am…[Read more]
