Writing in Snow

Thankful Thursday, August 3, 2017

Istijlál (Majesty), 4 Kamál (Perfection) 174 Badi - Thursday, August 3, 2017 CE

"Praise be unto God, incomparable in majesty, power and beauty, peerless in glory, might and grandeur; too high is He for human imaginations to comprehend Him or for any peer or equal to be ascribed unto Him."

Bahá’u’lláh1

I am not sure what to say about this quote. It eloquently states my belief about God; indeed, it states my view of the divine creator much better then I can. Therefore, I will go on with the way my morning went. I managed seven reviews for "Game of Thrones" , and I posted "Sad Moments In Life"  for the writing challenge. There is one more activity in the "Game of Thrones"  that I have not gotten to yet. I will do that either later today or in the morning.

Today's Reviews for "Game of Thrones" 

Review of "Being Self-Aware through the Golden Rule"
Review of "Tobias the Torturer "
Review of "My Cell Phone is Out to Get Me"
Review of "The Shelter"
Review of "Love Shouldn't Hurt"
Review of "The Good Night Moon Captured It All"
Review of "Hurting you is your fault"
