In response to "Antagonist Background story"

I'm sure you've heard of Dr. Kubler-Ross. In her 1969 book, “On Death and Dying,” Kübler-Ross examined the five most common emotional reactions to loss:

denial,
anger
bargaining
depression
acceptance

In response to "Character list"

Quite a list! To me, some of the women's weights seem a bit heavy for the heights. But maybe that is your intent.

And what is 'make ready' as an occupation??

In response to "Plot climax"

Can I be honest? This sounds more like an anti-climax than a climax here. I think what the question wants is for us to think what is the worst moment in the story where everything went wrong, what the primary conflict is, how it was resolved and what led the MC to make that decisive moment. The video posted in the forum, though long, helps us understand this question more intimately. Hopethat helps.

In response to "A Very Important Meeting "

This is so good. God is not only famous but the perfect one. Meeting Him everyday is such a bliss! This is beautifully portrayed.

It's true that when we do sins, God is hurt. I feel so sorry. I wish we could never make Him hurt. He just wants us to love every person like He loves us. I am not a Christian but I can relate this to my God.

The omnipotent, the omnipresent, the omniscient is always with us!

In response to "Review of I Am Not Ashamed."

I'm so glad you missed your trip to Fort Worth, Marvilla, though you have reminded me of a place to visit if I can ever get back to Fort Worth because that was where I was born. I'd love to be there, again.

Amazingly enough, I could have been a student teacher in your class on the day of the Challenger Tragedy, not that I actually was, but I was a student-teacher on that day in Chattanooga, TN in a 4th-grade class. We were watching on the TV on top of a big roll-away cart when the smoke plume forked. We were like, "What happened? Are they okay?"

In response to "Review of I Am Not Ashamed."

Yes, and the sad thing is that the next mass shooting at Wedgewood Baptist Church in Ft. Worth Texas at their see you at the pole service, was my aunt and uncle’s church. I had planned on visiting them that week, but had something come up where I couldn't go. I imagine if I had gone to visit them, I may have been at the church that night. Thank God I wasn't. I would have been in my 20s. I remember Ronald Reagan getting shot too. My first major news event I remember really well is the space shuttle explosion. I was in 3rd grade when that occurred.

In response to "Review of I Am Not Ashamed."

Marvilla, I remember what I was doing the day, that this news came to my attention. I was driving the back roads of Georgia between towns on my way to service products in the second of two Wal-Marts on April 20th, 1999. I felt much the same way I would a little over two years later on 9/11. In the same way, I can remember where I was when I learned that JFK had been shot, where I was when I learned about President Ronald Reagan was shot.

Bottom Line: the death of Rachel Joy Scott, and her friends at Columbine High School is the same kind of once-in-a-lifetime event for me. What respect and admiration I hold for my young brothers and sisters in Christ, who died that day! Words do not do justice.

Your review brings back some serious emotions for me. I only remember watching this movie, once, so far. I've only seen The Passion of the Christ, once, so far. Do my words express the depth of meaning these movies have in my heart?

You will definitely want to make sure you have tissues on hand then. It is a really good movie, but it brought on a lot of tears. I had to have a moment to compose myself after watching it. Lol
