Stowe 18-22

I've also attached an identical picture of the word cloud since the interactive one is a bit small...

The following words and characters were the ones I thought were most important in chapters 18-22. Many of the words show either a characteristic or important item/feeling that the character possessed in the chapter. (For example, in chapter 18, St. Clare trusted Uncle Tom and gave him more responsibility because of his honesty and faith. Additionally, Uncle Tom showed concern for his master's soul and bad habits.)

Philosophy on Objectionable Elements

My personal philosophy towards objectionable elements is pretty moderate. I believe that the most important thing to remember is to always "guard your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life." This verse, Proverbs 4:23, holds so much truth and is what I strive to do when dealing with any type of objectionable element. As a believer, I think that it's always best to ask God for guidance when deciding where to place limits on objectionable elements. I am ultimately held accountable to Him, and He is the one who truly knows my heart and mind. That said, whenever I am faced with a situation dealing with objectionable elements, God's standards and prayer are what I first turn to for guidance. I ask myself whether these elements will be hurtful or beneficial in my spiritual walk and whether or not I can view these elements as a means of strengthening myself. I firmly believe that every person has a different limit when it comes to objectionable elements, and I often find myself needing to set different boundaries from my family and friends based on what I know I am able to handle. Personally, I have the most trouble when I read or hear swear words since they tend to stick in my head for long periods afterwards. It's not always just an audible problem either. I can often have something of a photographic memory when it comes to reading inappropriate language as well, so it's always important for me to set strict boundaries in those situations.

It's almost a certainty that my standards will be violated as I move into a more secular setting. When my standards are violated, I will first seek God's guidance through prayer and Scripture and use my best knowledge and discernment in handling the situation. I know that He will never tempt me beyond my capabilities and should be the one I first turn to for help. I know that there will be struggles and challenges in my life as I move into a more secular and unguarded society, but I will always do my best to guard my heart no matter the time or situation.

My philosophy definitely applies to all forms of communication and media. Books, music, videos, and all other forms of media need to be equally guarded against. It doesn't matter whether you read, hear, or watch something. Taking in any form of media can equally affect the heart.
