“I think of my anger and bitterness, and I can’t help but hear Christ telling me to lay it down. When we hold onto what causes us to grow angry or even more bitter, we lose the energy to pursue God. It is a tiresome thing to hate, to hold onto a pain that should have been long let go. It’s not easy to let go, but it is necessary; so we must ask God to take it from us, and in that request we lay it all down.

Weary traveler, maybe you are exhausted because you are carrying more burdens than you are supposed to. Let go of the past, and allow God to heal you and restore you. Because in that restoration, you shall see a loving God desiring for you to chase after Him, and you shall finally have the strength to do so, because you no longer spend it on things that give no joy at all; So live, love, forgive, and move on. This is worship, this is faithfulness, and this is obeying God even when it hurts.”

So is PSAT now like the USA’s answer to Eurovision aside from the 4th of July?

Because from what I’ve observed, its pretty like back in Eurovision where there are a lot of posts about it and people from the US (who do not watch the Eurovision) have no idea…

It’s because it is a big deal. I wrote on another post that it has potential ramifications for scholarship money. American universities are ridiculously expensive, so any chance for significant financial aid should be taken seriously.




Discovered this today. It came out last week! (Ignore the voda (water) advertisement.)

I think the reason why I love ex-Yugo music is because they’re often bent on melodic music. The song, “Zabluda”, translates to “Delusion”.

Unfortunately relevant.

what the f—- is psat????? I feel like an American during Eurovision

The Preliminary SAT (PSAT) is a standardized test by the people who make the SAT (SURPRISE!) and Advanced Placement (AP) exams, which are in turn roughly an equivalent of entrance exams and International Baccalaureate (IB), respectively. Except the SAT is only a part of the admissions process to undergraduate studies (sometimes replaced by another standardized test, the ACT), the other parts being the application (and essays) and recommendations.

The PSAT also serves as the NMSQT (National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test). There is a quota for each state (and DC) where, if you fall under the top n number of people in your state score-wise, submit a satisfactory additional application, and do comparably well on the SAT, you have a chance of receiving additional funding for colleges. Additionally, some schools waive application fees and might even offer a full ride plus extra!

The sections tested in the PSAT are: math, reading, and writing. There is no essay in the writing section; it is closer to language arts than anything. The scale of scores ranges from 20-80 for each section, so 240 is the maximum for any test-taker.

(As “Solar Winds” goes through my head, derpy Devin Townsend voice goes “NERRRRRRD”.)
