I know...
I know my birth certificate says "Jessica Warner", and I know most people call me Jess, because nicknames don't seem to stick around very long. I know twenty years sounds older than I feel, and yet that's how long I've been alive. I know that doing an English degree at University sounded like a good idea at the time. I know that in reality it doesn't rain all the time in England, and that I like it here really, but I know complaining about the weather is pretty much part of our cultural identity.
I think...
I think food is the most amazing invention ever. I think that when I grow up, I still want to be Shakespeare - however I think that in ten years time I'll probably end up as a teacher. I think all plans should be flexible though, because lets face it, in ten years time I might be dead, which would call for a fairly radical reconstruction of my plans. I think sleep is not overrated. I think too much.
I believe...
I believe we were all right the first time, and we shouldn't abandon a dream on the basis of impossibility. I believe we will never know even a percent of everything, so we should routinely question what we believe - and even some things we know. I believe in death, but I believe in heaven. And I don't believe that heaven's about who's good enough to get in and who isn't, because none of us will ever be perfect. I believe heaven is about trying, starting over, and turning away from what you know is wrong, and about having somebody who's willing to pay for that wrong you've already done. I believe Jesus is that person, and is willing to help anyone who will work with him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is probably the best short story I've ever read - AND IT'S ON ELFWOOD FOLKS! If you read nothing else, go read this by Jess Hyslop: Sol ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Also - my flatmate Anne's gallery. She needs more comments, she has to live with me. And she's tidy, and I'm not!!! Show this patient woman some charity for her trials, donate comments!!! Samuel V.R. Joseph has a sci-fi story (completed), a fantasy story (completed) and two poems, and they're all excellent, so quite frankly there's no excuse NOT to go and visit him. Especially The Last Trumpet, which had me enthralled from chapter one. He is also possibly the most helpful person in all of Elfwood. "God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son so that whoever believes in him may not be lost, but have eternal life." John 3:16
