Answers: On Beauty and Godliness

I must admit, I started this study about five days ago, got really involved, and then got distracted. My mom wanted me to go on a walk with her, so I did, and lost all my momentum. The loss of focus has also happened to other awesome studies I've started, unfortunately. I really do have a lot of ADHD tendencies, and I also get way more excitement out of starting something than finishing it. But I'm not here to make excuses. I'm here to show you all what I've found in regards to what God says about beauty and godliness. All that being said, I'll just show you the verses I found, give you my short and extremely stimulating commentary, and you can make your own conclusions about the topic! How about that? And I've always been pretty shy of sharing my opinions, lest anyone should feel pressured, so...don't go with what I say, but read the verses and ask God what He means. Alrighty! Let's go!                ...

A Christian Girl Asks Questions: On Beauty and Godliness

So I've been moving around quite a lot lately, and will be for the next couple of weeks. I've been in Arkansas, Alabama and Tennessee, and I'll soon be in Florida, Kentucky, back to Arkansas, and then Utah! Whew! That's a lot of riding in a car. It's ok; only bothers me when we are in the car past midnight. Then it's not fun anymore - it's torture. I should be sleeping and instead I'm folded up into interesting designs (because that's what happens when you are tall and can't sit still and are riding in a very packed minivan), my neck is crooked, and there is no relief. NONE. It becomes a challenge to stay positive. But it's better when you actually get where you're going and you can stretch your contortions out, lay down, and sleep until you want to get up again. I think my sleep time record was fifteen hours at one shot. I was back in Texas straight from three months in Thailand, and I slept from 10:00 pm to 1:00 pm the next day. It ...

How to Make Time Go Faster

Here's a scenario that I've often experienced during a canvassing program: Friend and I are together in the room or riding to territory some morning and suddenly one of us perks up, "Hey! It's already Tuesday!" The other one replies rather glumly, "Aww....it's only Tuesday...?" "Time is flying! The week is halfway over!" "The week is only half-finished? We still have two days left! Time is going so slowly." But time was passing at the same rate for both of us! We were doing the same job and had the same schedule, so why did we experience time at different rates? And the mystery will continue after a word from our sponsors -  ***************************** Just kidding. But really, I'm going to be changing the purpose of my blog from now on. I'll still give updates on what I'm doing (once I start doing something really interesting again) but other than that, I will be broadening my writing to include...
