OK, forgive the title. That was just to get you to look inside the thread.
Things CC has taught me, or re-taught me, this year – both serious and not-so (you figure out which). Some have references to threads that will make the newbies go “huh?” Sorry, newbies.
My top ten list:
I learned…
10. that this is not a dating site.
9. how to make inexpensive homemade hippie deodorant that works.
8. that CC is a place where you don’t have to speak “Christianese” to fit in. You can be real. Yeah!
7. that teen girls in Alaska are generally much wiser than teen girls in the rest of the country.
6. that internet trolls don’t always see themselves as trolls, and that many are just hurting, and we should remember them in prayer.
5. that there are many who are hurting who are not trolls, and we should pray for them as well.
4. that Doctor Who should never be abbreviated as Dr. Who (thanks, Nautilus)
3. that many godly men and women want the same thing. They may want it packaged differently, and may describe it differently, but it seems to be essentially the same thing.
2. that because of #3, I have a hope of finding someone compatible when it’s the right time.
1. that I can be missing my “rip” and still have a fulfilling life.
What pearls of wisdom has CC given you this year?
