LightningdawnUm... not sure if I could think of any at the moment. Sorry. And keep Iran and Iraq in your prayers, everyone. There was a 7.8 earthquake that killed about 400 people. More than that.

Lightningdawn Catholics generally do the candle thing. I usually do it by myself in the family though =v= #cutoutpapercandles4thewin We light one candle for each week of the advent season. Three purple candles and one pink candle. My grandma also has the tradition of making a nativity scene from scratch. I know Mexicans do that one thing where they march to a people's houses to imitate the nativity story. They also sing at every doorstep until they get to the last one where they are finally let in, symbolizing how mary and joseph were finally let into the stable. And then they have a mini party with food and stuff. At my school I think they go all out and they have people dress up as Mary, Joseph, and the angels. Raven Oh man ;-; Will pray u-u

Lightningdawn ;; We have a mini Christmas concert, if that counts as a tradition? Both the adults and kids sing. They also have the 2-5 year olds sing a few songs, which is always hilarious because something always happens. Other than that, we don't do anything special except for a special Christmas Eve evening service if Christmas isn't on Sunday/Monday.
Hi, all.

Hey guys. So I'm teaching a class soon about Christmas traditions and like Is there any traditions y'all have in your denominations? I'm curious St. Nicholas day. It's December 6th, and I think it's just a Catholic thing but I could be wrong. Kids put their shoes outside the front door the night before, and parents put a few treats inside the shoes for them in the morning. I always got some chocolate coins, candy, or a little money. There's a whole story behind it that I don't remember. And of course the Advent Wreath that Meg mentioned. Keeping the Christmas tree up for all 12 days of Christmas and the Epiphany.

Can you please pray for my friend? She's been on a downward spiral for years, andd it only seems to be getting worse. She's doing a lot of bad things I don't agree with at all, and doesn't seem to think there's anything wrong with it. She needs prayers that she can change this and get her life back on the right track before it's too late, because I know if this continues it will only get worse. I care about her a lot, and I don't want anything to happen to her but at this rate something will if something isn't done.

So I was just doing my homework for greek and I found this gem of a passage
ἐνδύσασθε οὖν, ὡς ἐκλεκτοὶ τοῦ Θεοῦ, ἅγιοι καὶ ἠγαπημένοι, σπλάγχνα οἰκτιρμοῦ, χρηστότητα, ταπεινοφροσύνην, πρᾳότητα, μακροθυμίαν (Col 3:12)
Which literally means : Therefore, clothe yourself, chosen people of God, holy and beloved, with the innards of compassion, goodness, humility, gentleness, [and] patience.
The 'innards' part gets lost in translation but I thought it was hilarious XD (it can also be translated "the guts") Yay for innards of compassion!

Hey guys. How are all of you? For right now I have really been noticing the parable where Jesus stops the storm and then he turns to the others and asks them 'where is your faith?' I really haven't been feeling very well spiritually here at collage and I don't know why but I think it's because things are going on around me with the people that I love and I think that I am stuggling a little with identity like I was back for a majority of junior high. That parable is reminding me that I have to remember where my faith is.

Will be praying too Flamestar!
Also can everyone pray for my friend? She has a giant plantar wart on her foot, and they tried scrapping the skin off but it hurt so badly that the doctor called for an MRI. They found that under the wart there is an abscess. If it pops, she can loose her whole foot. She's gonna have to undergo surgery to get it removed and even then, she can loose a toe.

Darn straight. The only thing that ticks me off is what Tatara always says. "Don't sweat it. It'll all work out in the end." He says that right before he dies.... how is everything supposed to be ok if he's GONE?!?! That and too... I re-watched it after about a year or so and I knew what was coming for both Totsuka and Mikoto and yet I still bawled like a little girl. Guess that means it's good then if it does that all the time hey.
I still have yet to watch the other two parts to it but I know a gist of what goes on.
That is the first series that I have watched over again all the way to the end. ...of the first season but I'm kind of limited right now. Lol.

TT-TT Tatara we barely knew ye I think everyone feels at least a pang of sadness when Mikoto dies even if it's the umpteenth time we're watching it XD
Yeah the other two parts aren't as good as the first one though plot wise XD (although Neko was generally covered up in them so that was an improvement at least)

I love the art style I love the characters, I live the story and I flipping ADORE the soundtrack. I'm learning how to play Requiem of Red and Kiss of Death right now and I wanted to learn Circle of Friends but then I saw it and was like newp.
