Christians Like To Have Fun, Too

We are in the world but not of it.

Sometimes when people hear the word Christian they tend to have misconceptions about what the word means and what we actually stand for.

A lot of people think that Christians are not supposed to have fun but in reality, that is simply not true. Christians have a ton of fun but our definition of fun is very different than the world's view of what fun is. Our definition of fun consists of three things. Enhancing our lives, fellowship and bringing glory to God.

It is important as a christian to not do anything that will hinder our lives or our walk with God. So, yes you will not see christians at parties and many other social events. What you will see is christians going around sharing thier faith. The sharing of faith is one of the most rewarding things ever. To be able to see Jesus work in people's lives is an amazing feeling. I have no regret partaking in this activity because it will help others so much.

Fellowship is another fun thing to do. Fellowship is when you spend time with other believers. I consider this not only fun but very important as well. Fellowship is just simply hanging out. Why is this important? It is very important because it is a reminder of who you stand for. When you spend time with people who believe the same things that you do, you spend time with others your life is enriched. Not only are these people your friends but they are your brother and sisters as well. You can be sure that these people have your best interest.

Bringing glory to God is always a fun thing to do. In fact, everything that Christians do should bring glory to God. This is the best thing. God has given his all for each and every one of us. Even those who do don't believe. It is so important to give back to him. Giving glory to God can be done in many different ways. It does not have to be boring.

Christians like to have fun too! Fun is not defined by recklessness or living free. The definition of fun is partaking in something that brings you joy or happiness. I want to partake in something that will not only benefit myself but others as well!

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.

Blair Waldorf
Stop Hollywood

For those of you who have watched "Gossip Girl" before (and maybe more than just once), you know how important of a character Blair Waldorf is. Without Blair, the show doesn’t have any substance, scheme, or drama. Although the beginning of the show started off with Blair’s best friend Serena returning from boarding school, there just simply is no plot without Blair. With that being said, Blair’s presence in the show in much more complex than that. Her independent and go-getter ways have set an example for "Gossip Girl" fans since the show started and has not ended even years after the show ended. Blair never needed another person to define who she was and she certainly didn’t need a man to do that for her. When she envisioned a goal, she sought after it, and took it. This is why Blair’s demeanor encompasses strong women like her.

Singing is something I do all day, every day. It doesn't matter where I am or who's around. If I feel like singing, I'm going to. It's probably annoying sometimes, but I don't care -- I love to sing! If I'm not singing, I'm probably humming, sometimes without even realizing it. So as someone who loves to sing, these are some of the feelings and thoughts I have probably almost every day.
