I honestly can't place my finger on why I never cared for her. It may have been because everyone on the show had some crazy quirk that made them relatable, unique and weird, while she alone seemed to be mostly "normal" and uninteresting, or maybe not as "real" as the others because she was too perfect.

I kind of resented her for being in love with Jim while she was still with Roy (even though she didn't realize it). Harsh of me, I know. :p

Haha so harsh. She was definitely pretty normal compared to everyone else though.
 
The world has already fallen apart. Blame the snake. No. Blame Eve. Actually, it has to be Adam's fault.

It seems to be the case. Great empires of our time seem to have risen to new peaks, only to fall so gracelessly. We see evidence of greed and grief ripple its way through our immediate and larger communities. The systems we have so diligently put in to place are now failing us, and tragedy after another is sensualised all over the news media. (In response to the 'world' world, I don't know if you're talking about global warming or something along those lines.)

But even in the chaos and the panic there is a hope, for the Hope of glory has made His home in us. We carry the good news, a message of redemption and freedom for it is a freedom we have experienced and tasted ourselves. I believe the state of the world is meant to frustrate us as believers, for out of that frustration is awaiting a response. We can either look at the world and glorify the darkness as we moan in despair, or we could arise to the calling and be everything Jesus has called us to be; the light of this world, a city on a hill, people of unveiled faces and representatives of Christ with dual citizenship in heaven and on earth. So weighty is our calling and destiny. There are so many promises in the Word for the children of God to hold to and stand firm with.

So blueorchidjd, you can either let your frustration eat you with worries and anxiety, or you can make something of it, or of this moment, to shine a light that releases a fragrance of hope to an orphan planet.

At first Pam was with Roy. Then Jim had a crush on her. Then Jim dated Katie, and Pam got jealous. Then Roy and Pam set a wedding date, and Jim broke up with Katie. Then Jim told Pam he liked her and she rejected him twice, choosing to stay with Roy. Then Jim moved and Pam broke up with Roy. Now Jim came back, but is dating Karen, and Pam is sad.

It's only Season 3. Someone get me off of this roller coaster. I blame Pam for this.

What are you watching, a soap opera? Sounds like the kind of show where the devs just throw drama in for the sake of drama.
 
Trying to get back online... trying to give up meat... trying to get back in shape.... trying to be a better me... :) Hi there, everyone!! :)
 
Y'know, talking with non-Christians is really interesting sometimes. I've realized more and more that to show Jesus to someone, it's not about mentioning Him every other sentence. It's treating them with love and respect. Loving them like Christ would. Talking with them respectfully. Taking into consideration what THEY say and think about God and Christianity.

Their thoughts and opinions are important. They might not be true, but they are important, so don't brush them off. If you have answers for them, great. If you don't, you say you don't. Don't get defensive and upset when they bring up negative things about Christianity, because we can't ignore the negative, and God doesn't need defending. He is God. It's God's kindness that brought us to repentance in the first place, not His being offended (which He would have every right to be offended by us and our sin).

And just because we're not trying to convert them all the time doesn't mean we're "ashamed" of the Gospel.

When you're planting a garden, you have to cultivate the soil, loosen it, make sure the seeds can grow, and they can become well-rooted. You don't just put the seeds in the ground and hope and pray that it grows okay.

I realize a lot of people might not agree with me on this, but this is what I have found to be true. And I'll be praying for my non-Christian friends today.
