Nothing of national importance, but a wonderful half hour in this small dorm passed last night, when while I was sitting in one of my friend's rooms, a guy friend walks in and pulls the short stories by Oscar Wilde from the shelf and starts reading the story of the Happy Prince aloud to us. Another girl walks in, and joins my friend up on her bed. Another, very excited that the guy is reading Oscar Wilde, settles herself into my lap, and we listen, entranced, as our friend uses different voices and skillfully enters us into a story of giving and just rewards

I spent 6 marvelous hours with a couple in town that has become like my second family. We went to go see The Inside Man and then we went back to their house and had soup and rosemary flatbread for dinner with iced raspberry zinger tea for drinks and organic chocolate covered almonds for dessert. It was wonderful to just talk with them about anything and everything.

Your kin being there for you to show you that there is a light somewhere, even when the tunnel seems darkest.

Calling a friend up to go for a walk, not knowing that in that moment, you saved their life.

Hey Galtogien,

You replied to my post in <lj user="christianity>, and I was very glad that you did in such a short and sweet form. I have many good happening to me, since the Lord opened me to His existence. Hmm, maybe you like that small good, but it isn't really small, it is BIG: I know an old man in my city, met him at a small bistro. Yesterday I met him again, and we talked. He is a rather gentle and meek old man, but the Holy Spirit made me preach and open his eyes to him being a sinner like the very most of us, anyone of us. I was kinda timid and too cautious, I was thinking, why preaching to this kind old man who feels depressed. But as I quickly saw, the stern insistence on letting him know, it shook him, and he repented. He told me of having been in an evangelic academy once, and that he had left it because of personal problems. I made clear to him that this was wrong, or rather, God made it clear. Then we prayed together, the Lord's prayer, and for the first time, I saw this old man be smiling and glad and hopeful again, his faith had been renewed. He told me decided to go to the academy again, and I know the Lord will protect him and give him a wonderful evening of life in his age. And knowing that, I feel glad also and my spirit rejoices in the fact that the old man came back to God and faith. You seem very spiritual. I would like you added as a friend. Perhaps we can have meaningful conversations together. And you have beauty, the kind of beauty God bestows on his children, not the satanic beauty some embrace. Please be humble and appreciate honest men. Don't seek the devils embrace in druidry, God can give you something much better, but ya must prove yourself worthy by denying the devil, he isn't really real, ya know what I mean? His lies have some power, but see them as lies and they vanish, along with their power. The devil's nothing more than a big fat ugly fly at noon.

Hmm, maybe I can write a good story now again when it doesn't get cut short. Ya might really like this.

I was lying on a meadow in God's nearby park recently, and thought about the difference between the Father's Earth, and Satan's world. We must see it that way, to look at the Earth through God's eyes - He loves it, but He also knows we need to be delivered from it. We may want the good in our prayers, but God always gives what we really need, either the good we prayed for, or something else, it will be what we need, deserve, require, love, whatever God wills.

Anyway, I was in the park and thought about God's Earth. Then I felt the Earth below me, as I was lying on the grass and as God made me feel. I felt the massiveness of the Earth, how big it is, and how small I am. God founded it, so that the Earth may be secure in the big universe.

Then I heard the Father speak to me: "Do you sense how it rotates below you?", and I did feel it, it was very slow but strong, it rotated below me and the Father made me feel it deep inside. It was wonderful.

If ya want to get to know awesome things, ask God in the christian sense. Don't plead to the world, as it is just a planet, ask the one who made the world, the Father, and do as He says.

God loves us, you, me, all other christians, yea, even the sinner, but God wants to make the sinner His child, and that is the christian mission, to make people see how they exchanged God's goodness for a lie.

God is good!

And I love you too, Galtogien :)

Oh Good exists - it just gets bad press or no press at all. I enjoyed looking at your artwork. It's nice to meet another Brit too.

I am a sickly looking cancer patient on food stamps who can be moody, indecisive, and...unable to ride a bike. But I met this guy who wants to marry me anyway.
And he's hot.
That's all :)

hope you don't mind hearing from a random stranger.

i was reading from the beginning of the gospel of luke, the story of john the baptist's birth to a barren woman. and i remembered that "with God, nothing is impossible." but for some reason i was having a hard time with this. it was testing my faith. i thought of all of the women i had known who prayed and prayed for children that never came.

then i remembered that my mother was barren too. every doctor she saw told her the same thing - that she would never have children. and she prayed and she cried and when she had finally lost hope and ceased persisting, nine months later, i came into this world.

true story :3

A few years ago I was poor enough to be living on toast, and I was also very sick.

My friend, who is a pensioner herself, surprised me by trekking halfway across town to bring me milk for my tea, aromatherapy oils for my sick, and... she brought a box of cat food for my kittens.


May I 'friend' you? I see you around now and then on christianity, and I enjoy reading your reasoned and compassionate comments. =)

Hi Galtogien,
Goodness truly does exist in many forms on both earth and in the heavens above us. Humanity has lost its way in many places, but there still exists a good proportion of humans who have the instinct and the natural ability to offer good friendships and remain honest, truthful and loyal for a lifetime. Do not be concerned with the woes of the world, for NATURE is at work on all levels on earth and she shall have her day in the sun...

one day i was walking through town when i noticed some street kids about my age doing something on the sidewalk. when i walked past them the girl said, hey, what's wrong with you?''Apparently they thought that I looked kind of down. I said, "well, nothing," and they showed me what they were making, which were small artcards made out of manilla tag..anyway, she gave me one for free. Then they invited me to sit with them for awhile, and we had a long conversation,(mainly about whether or not they should buy a pet rat or not,) and I left with the feeling that I had made good use of the afternoon by talking to (previously, what were ,) complete strangers. Anyway, Silardiel, I don;'t know if this sounds like an extraordinary example of a good thing that happened..but, for me, it accentuated my sense of fearlessness and so i count a it as a real good experience.
