I know the point of prayer is not to have them answered, but I'd be lying if a big part of me didn't wish faith was the substance of things come true and the evidence of things materialised. Especially when it is justified to live for Christ. Right? Especially when living means his daughter would have a father? His wife would have a husband? Are we not taught to pray expecting?

This is just my first year voting. Many have fought tirelessly for years. How many elections did they see unfruitful? How many times have our true leaders suffered at the hands of the corrupt? Going to jail, beaten, framed, murdered... All so we can be aware. Revolution is not a battle overnight won. I went [...]
Okay I have the most delicious piece of news. Did you hear? Someone close to me did something scandalously juicy and now everything within me seems to brim over with the desire to spill the beans to a close friend on the person without stopping for a second to think that gossiping tears friendships apart.

You never know what's going to upset a cloud. They're very sensitive. Winnie the Pooh. Cloud Cloud Go Away. There's this episode in Winnie the Pooh where Tigger upsets a cloud. The cloud kept following him for a good 8 minutes. Every time he said something mean about the cloud, it would first start drizzling [...]
Interesting Fact: Screensavers are computer programs initially invented to protect computer monitors from phosphorous burn-ins. Screensavers are coded to display only in one instance; when the computer is idle.
