Prompt: “Take everything that’s bright and beautiful in you and introduce it to the shadow side of yourself.” Parker Palmer
How can a person do this? Can you give an example, and do you agree this would work to make the world a better place?"

I think the way a person does that is by grieving the Holy Spirit that dwells within a Christian. To grieve the Holy Spirit one needs only to sin and then thumb your nose at the Holy Spirit when He convicts you of that sin. Just sin and keep on sinning. That will achieve it. However the results will not be pretty and it definitely would not help the world or the person doing it. Sin has no good benefit. If there was anything good about sin God would not have cast Satan out of Heaven. However God cannot associate with sin because sin is evil. It has no redeeming qualities.It's like cigarettes. There is absolutely no good quality in a cigarette. People believe there are benefits but in reality there are none. The same applies to sin. It may seem "good" at the moment but in reality it is evil and has no benefit.

"Prompt: Winter, Spring, Summer, Autumn, and stars, Use these words in your blog entry."

I am not a stargazer. So I really don't know the stars. I wouldn't be able to tell you what star or constellation is what. However I do know that the best time to stargaze is on a cold winter night. By cold I mean below 0 degrees Fahrenheit because all of the haze is gone and the atmosphere is as clear as crystal. On Summer, Spring, and Fall nights there is a lot of haze and fog, which obscures the stars. However the cold winter nights leave the canopy of stars wide open if you can handle the cold!
