What to believe

15 February 2007 by kristarella

Sometimes I feel in despair because I’m not sure what to believe. It seems that I get mixed messages from people I want to believe. From one party I hear that the Bible is plain and can be understood, from another I hear that Genesis would have been plain if I were a 1500BC Hebrew, […]

Thursday Thirteen #43

12 February 2007 by kristarella

Flourished

12 February 2007 by kristarella

I made a new desktop for my MacBook. It’s dark, with patterns and flowers and flourishes. The background pattern is from Squidfingers, it was originally a greenish colour.

Had a great Saturday at the GKR Karate State Title Had a great Saturday at the GKR Karate State Titles! I was a sub for @jamesxuereb.me in the Blue Flame Dragons thanks to his sprained ankle; we won first round and came fourth overall!
