30 Day Writing Challenge- Day 6

Day 6- I am fascinated by how much Jesus loves me. I can't even fathom the depths of it. When I think of all that He suffered just to have me, me, wretched, self-centered, ocd having, obsessive me. Nothing I could ever do or say could earn that love. And nothing I could ever do or say could make Him stop loving me. That is just amazing to me. If I had been the only person that He could save, He'd have still suffered all that He did just for me. He died for all, and He also died for each.

30 Day Writing Challenge- Day 20

1) "walk away" by Christina Aguilera... well this is one of the best songs by Christina in my opinion, vocally and lyrically. She wrote this song and the lyrics are almost completely perfect. It's so moving and sad, and you can really feel that she means what she is singing about. I have many times related to this song on a personal level. It's very 1950's loungey sounding as well, I love it. 2) "Man of constant sorrow" as covered by Sawyer Fredericks... I really liked the live version of this better, he sang it for his blind audition, this song got popular because of that movie and everyone knows that, but also, even though this is a "cover" it's original singer/writer is unknown, it's an old folk song that people used to sing. 3)"Bring me to Life" by Evanescence... I remember the exact moment I realized this song was written about Jesus. I LOVE this song, it is literally one of my favorite songs of all time. Amy Lee i...

Why does God "allow" suffering?

what is suffering? what causes it? well first of all, let's start somewhere near the beginning... "17  And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;" Genesis 3:17 so the earth became cursed because of Adam's sin, all of creation and everyone that was to be born was now punished because of the sin of Adam. This is where suffering comes from...sin. The original sin caused all disease and any other "natural" affliction. But it's the sinfulness of all mankind that causes much more suffering.  Greed is the reason for people starving.  Lust is cause for abortion, which is murder. Hatred is the cause of all sorts of evil deeds. why does God "allow" this? In the old testament He didn't always,  for example when man became o...

Just four? okay, four weird traits I have... Number one, I guess would be that I have a good memory. That sounds normal but it's almost at a eidetic level. I've often gotten comments about it, positive and negative. It's sort of like a photographic memory but mine is more based on audio. I remember what people said or what I have read or thought about. Not good with remembering date or figures at all. Just moments, tv or movie scenes, lyrics. Number 2, I'm a nerd, I get super into things that I like. PLL, once upon a time, hey arnold. I'm a major nerd. Number 3, I get emotionally attached to fictional characters, if they are portrayed by a good actor and are well written. Number 4, I am a cinephile, I love old movies and I love thinking about moments in scenes, I analyze the writing and acting and moments of a film's aesthetic. I guess that could fit into the nerd category but I didn't want to get too deep into this... there are like so many more w...
