Gunter's Logic.

(Daniel Ridgway Knight Young Girl) Once there was a woman who sat along the mountain side. One day, she was visited by three people that walked along the path she sat beside. The first person to walk past her was a girl playing around the forest. When she saw the woman she was first frightened, but then mumbled, "are you the devil?" The woman smiled, "do I look like the devil?" The young girl looked down and apologized for her rude comment. The woman laughed, "what made you think I would look like the devil to you". The young girl expressed, "your skin is gray and your clothes are tattered." "The way you appear is not very lady like in this kingdom." The woman gave the young girl a grin and expressed, "I thought the devil was suppose to tempt people into giving into their sins, not scare them." "I know that!" said the young girl who began to walk closer to the woman, "I want to be like you." The woma...

(My Complex Heart by Lorraine Christie) Hello, it's been a while since I have posted anything on my blog. I've been keeping myself busy with life and I know I have been neglecting my blog that I have had for five years now! Crazy how my writing has changed since 2012. I suppose this post is another rant about issues that have been on my mind for the past few months. Social media has really gone off the deep end with everyone expressing their views on whatever is worth talking about. I don't understand why we think that calling names and expressing our views on issues via a facebook status will change anyone's view on anything. Has anyone read a post on facebook and then suddenly change their view on politics, abortions, rights, sexuality, refugees, etc, by someone you are in school or work with in your everyday life? Does expressing your disgust for someone resolve the issue? Will calling the president names going to make him change his agenda? Believe me, I ...

(Fire in the Forest by William McCullagh) With a title and painting like this, you as the reader clearly know this isn't going to be a happy feel good post. Well, I'm afraid you are right. Now before we go any further I want you, the reader, to raise up your right hand and repeat after me. I am a human being, I am not perfect. I have the freedom of speech. I should not judge someone, as someone should not judge me. Very good! So lately I have been coming more tired with Facebook. All the cute happy photos of weddings and baby photos are starting to show up less and less on my news feed as once again, another social issue has shadowed over our nation. Something that I clearly would not want to talk about, because there are so many issues that came about before this one, and I know that more issues will come after. Transgender bathroom issue. No! Wait! This isn't my view on that topic! I know so many have already stated their opinion on this matter that I know you ...

(Knight Painting by Leighton) Due to the popularity of my last post, I decided that I will keep posting on these type of topics that are more reflected on people around my age. With that being said, I am sure all my readers can reflect on these topics in one way or another. As almost everyone has had throughout their life, I have had people that I would find attractive. People that we like are known as crushes. So when I would have a crush on someone in my school, my main focus was to make sure that the girl never knew that I liked her, and that maybe she would randomly approach me and some how we would be boyfriend and girlfriend. Well, that would never work so as I was going into high school, I had to think of someway for the girl to like me. Now this is out on a limb, but I would talk to her, and treat her with respect. Sometimes my crush still would not like me, due to her going for someone I deemed a "bad guy". Every time I had my heartbroken, my friends would...

( Royal Splendour by Sophia Baddeley) Other titles for this post was going to be "All the Single Ladies", "This One's for the Girls", "Love: Whats up with that", and "(Insert some generic title that will falsely advertise this as something other than what you are writing about, such as some good absurd title like, "why I don't love my wife" followed by your post discussing about some scripture, which no one would read unless you had some edgy click bait title here)".  Since I was a little boy I knew I would have to experience many challenges in my life that everyone would experience at one point. Making friends, losing friends, having feelings, having a crush, drivers licenses, graduating school, going to college, finding yourself, make mistakes, make more friends, get a college degree, get a successful job, and then what? I guess maybe it is time to start a family. Believe me I'm in no rush or anything  like that...

(Stuffed Bat by Vincent Van Gogh) The ending isn't that scary is it? The bat was such a peculiar creature. The animals welcomed him into the forest with open arms with him being the same as the others. He would seek advice by the bear, yet never applied anything he learned. He wanted to be like the wolves, and at first he could have been on of them, but he was impatient. Wolves went for greater game, yet he went for scraps. He was humble when he came into the forest not knowing anyone, but as soon as he became comfortable he knew who he would call friends and who he would call enemies. The bat wasn't strong minded, but would always fly high before he began to talk down upon the animals he saw as threats. The bat knew what to tell the animals, and he even convinced some of them to follow him. The only reason why they did was due to his ability to fly, which made him appear to be powerful. The only animals that could oppose him was the hawk and the owl, but they did not br...

(Early Morning Turkey Hunt by Rob Dreyer AFC) Are you afraid? The mountain lion could have been the best thing to have ever come into that forest. The mountain lion would slowly make herself present to the other animals. She was fierce to the animals among her. Only the foolish animals tried to bring her down to their levels and failed. She was not to be taken lightly because her mindset was focused on the one thing the other animals did not want to see come into fruition. Change. The mountain lion could bring change and she did to that forest. Only few animals could climb the trees as the forest was washed clean. The wolf became occupied, the bear faded, the stag in a distant land. The forest needed a leader, someone to follow, someone that could make the forest to it's former glory. The mountain lion could be the only one that could make the forest what the forest was suppose to be to the animals. The mountain lion was strong, but sadly, I don't think strong enough. Sh...
