in which northernwrites quotes Robert Frost as saying "Poetry is made out of algebra and fire."

Do you agree? Why or why not?"

I would agree that northernwrites has helped a lot of people. He works to keep WDC running smoothly and when we heed the advice given it works out well. I like the quote from Robert Frost because poetry is a lot like WDC. When it is done right it works out perfectly. When self-will becomes involved we morph it into something it is not meant to be and ruin things. Poetry has formulas just like algebra. Following those formulas gives us proper results.

Prompt: "How has the doctrine that Jesus left heaven to become a human being changed in your life over the years?"

When I was a young Christian I did not know that Jesus was equal to God. I thought he was born a man and that God was His father making Him half God half man. I now know that He was always fully God and that He became a man for a short period of time before becoming glorified. The doctrine of kenosis or "emptying" discusses how He stepped down from the position of second only to the Father and the glories of heaven to be born on a stble and live a life of poverty. See Philippians 2:1-11 for more.

"Prompt: “After a time, I wonder if I am remembering the actual event or just remembering the memories.”
From Have You Seen Luis Velez? by Catherine Ryan Hyde

What do you think about the quote and are our memories or remembrances always truthful?"

I don't believe memories are always truthful. I have a lot of memories of things that others tell completely differently than I remember them. Memories often come at us jumbled together so that parts of one memory did not happen at the same time as another memory.
