Why can’t we come back to God right away after we sin?
https://youtu.be/GLXkahsGG9k Do you feel like after you’ve sinned you have to wait for some time before you can talk with God again? Like there is a probationary period that must happen and then it’s okay to pray and read Bible again? Is that the right thing, is that how it’s supposed to work? Watch the video let me…
What I learned at the Douglas Anderson Writers Festival (with George Saunders and Tracy K. Smith)
This was a good day. My mind and soul just basked in beautiful things that were read and taught. Here are a few things that I took away for me: • It’s you and page, a thankless work and easy to get discouraged, so forget about writing a novel or getting published. Just write a story. • Be motivated by…

Do I want to get used?
https://youtu.be/joE4PsLkHeg God loves us, God needs us. We are created to worship Him, to serve Him and His purposes. We are nothing without him. Our worth depends on Him using us for His purposes. And on and on and on…. Then God is just a user, He takes what He wants and uses it for His purposes? He…
Where do answers come from?
https://youtu.be/v4Bnmi9g1oI I was rustling in the kitchen drawer and accidentally grabbed the knife out of the drawer with the sharp end and it didn’t cut me. Thanking God, I though, “but He let it happen.” Is this so I can notice and appreciate Him? Sounds even more wrong. I say, God, here is a chance for us to…
Evolution.
My science teacher finally convinced me that Evolution was how things came about. The science has been correct all along. Think for yourselves: Evolution was the reason that plants and trees and animals and people came out of dirt and rocks (the earth). Evolution preprogrammed the living people and animals and plants and trees to have habits of survival and…
Why should we read the Bible!
Luther realized that each person is saved by his/ her own faith and later Luther and others worked to bring the Bible, the Word of God, to the people, because the Catholic Church (and other entities) used ignorance to control masses (fear, indulgences, guilt, etc). Today lack of knowledge of Bible comes not from an entity, but from within the…
Вода
Течет река, широкая, глубокая. “Равни ей нет”, люд в сердце говорит, И каждый всей смекалкой и способностью, Пытается чем больше от неё отпить. Одни: каналы роют, трубы ложат, Честным трудом водичку в дом свой достают. Другие: стыдно им, но просят первых, И первые им милостыню в кружку льют. Есть часть народа, крупно “повезло” им. Папуля с мамой, у реки прям…

5000 BC – 60 BC (stone plates and papyrus notations) Soccer game develops from aimed kicks of various objects towards stretched animal skin, to practice of keeping soldiers fit for war, to discovery of rubber-like mass from Hevea Brasiliensis. 60 BC (passed on through generations) China and Japan face off in first known official version of a soccer game.

Mind
Your mind is a room, your mind is where you spend most of your life, your mind is your inner world, your mind is the secret room, your mind is where you come back every time others leave you, every time you are alone. When you sit on the toilet, when you chew a breakfast sandwich, when you have a…
Unnatural
Young child fishes, rod bent, fish bites Great ivy tree, mysterious, kind Green water, flows slow, endless Distant moo-cows, mountains, fences. Does it make sense that A tidal wave will crash through? Will a child catch a whale? Wouldn’t that be unnatural? Isn’t a great dream unnatural?
Ира (short story)
По листьям и лепесткам недавно расцветших каштанов медленно стекали капли, падая на волосы, плечи и чемоданы спешащих на поезд прохожих, которые с удовольствием подставляли лица, ладони, загоревшие плечи, и, кому мама разрешила, босые ноги и веселые языки. Глядя на довольные мордашки детей, вечно спешащего человека мельком посетила приятная мысль аккомпанирующая улыбкой и он замедлив шаг тянул этот теплый момент. Ира…
