We have to Light the dark as you, nicole, have said. Apart from Christ Jesus there isn't any Faith, Hope and Love. The World only offers vanity and vanishing dreams.<br />I believe God calls His writers to challenge the darkness in every area. Thanks for the light you shine for Faith, Hope and love in our Lord.<br />Ray HawkinsRay Hawkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17720158812896505028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2208627029605402728.post-29491364753211654612012-02-03T15:33:17.153+10:002012-02-03T15:33:17.153+10:00Thanks for the encouragement, Nicole.

Thanks for spurring us on to love and to good deeds via our writing. How blessed we are to be called to do that! Faith, hope and love are rich blessings aren't they? I can also add Joy to that - since we are given much joy in our writing journey.<br />Thanks for your encouragement, Nicole.<br />Blessings,<br />AnushaAnusha Atukoralahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00859837228901127984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2208627029605402728.post-74593591299611294342012-02-03T12:04:46.052+10:002012-02-03T12:04:46.052+10:00Great post.

We have the "Little House on the Prairie" series at home. I would have no problem allowing a child to watch that, but even some children's shows now I shudder at the thought.<br /><br />We as Christian have a role to play in keeping the world safe for our children and readers.<br /><br />MELMelanie Carter Winklerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08011605544837222792noreply@blogger.com
