"The Power of One"
My humanities class is bomb. As Anna says, the word bomb is all encompassing... it's better then the bestest... Absolute. Pretty much these two pictures are bomb. They give me hope. I believe experiencing trials and coming out on top is one of the greatest things we can do in this life. It is more admirable then making millions of dollars, being famous for playing sports well, being a well-known author, actor, or community leader. Each individual trial we overcome in this life is a stepping stone towards what is the very best, absolute = Heaven. If we, like this picture of the women holding back what seems to be an entire army, hold off all of the hardships, temptations, and just plain old crap that Satan and his army throw at us, we will make a difference to ourselves and many others. We will come out on top like the man on the mountain.
(Caspar Friedrich, Traveler looking over the sea of fog. 1818)
This man seems to be on the presipus of his life looking over in Fear? with Hope? deep in Thought? experiencing Feeling?- you interpret for yourself- but to me this painting makes you feel something awesome (awe-some). It is a reminder to me that each day we have the chance to look over what we want to learn from yesterday (the hard climb up the mountain), experience today (enjoying the top), and make for tomorrow (the surroundings of untangible atmosphere). The VASTNESS of the future is sublime... it is important to take something out of each experience of life and remember the good times... To try not to look so much into what could, would, and should be the future, but at what can and will be today.
Thanks for all the good advice etc. Mamma, Daddy, Kim, Danielle, Paul, Spencer, Chris, Jacee, Katie, Kyle, Jeff, Brandi, Lindley, Whitney, Anna, Ness, Tanner, Carla, etc etc etc!!! :)

You know Grandmother Willow is my favorite. And her bark is worse than her bite... :) (are you glad I actually commented?) ;)
Life really is what you choose to make of it. It doesn't matter what other people think of you. You will act and be what YOU know you are and have the potential to become. Others will be drawn to your light and the confidence you have in yourself will radiate to those around you!
