This is permission + obligation!<br /><br />Andrea -- Yes, it's a good idea for aspiring writers to examine themselves and figure out why they're in this. If it's to give, the gain -- in some form -- will follow.<br /><br />Mary -- It breaks mine, too. I grew up in a church with a woman about my mom's age who had never married. She was quiet, kind, a faithful worker. Most of us kids considered her rather boring. Decades later I learned her fiance had died in the war. And she had never once called attention to her loss.Marciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10006966091789130047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9054081895459294120.post-91566897683416747642011-02-12T12:31:03.776-06:002011-02-12T12:31:03.776-06:00My father emerged from WWII with PTSD too.

As an adult, doing my own research on the war, I realized why: my father wouldn't even kill spiders. I grew up thanking God I would never have to fight. But it breaks my heart that so many young people end up giving their lives in war.<br /><br />I like the idea of giving evil a couple of kicks in the butt. But even more than that, I like the idea of promoting goodness.Mary Witzlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06458299046574564155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9054081895459294120.post-81557305625350959152011-02-12T11:27:05.477-06:002011-02-12T11:27:05.477-06:00What a thought-provoking post, Marcia.

It's giving—your gift—as opposed to taking.Andrea Vlahakishttp://www.andreavlahakis.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9054081895459294120.post-74998559192701387782011-02-10T21:10:15.851-06:002011-02-10T21:10:15.851-06:00Really liked this post.
