lol yes thank you Nate for clarifying. Can you tell I was on my way to class? Yes 22nd is wrong especially in a date format. however to write out twenty-second ir prefectly correct.

ok...i'll ask my teacher about the "" things and change 22nd.
my interpretation of the lyrics was not done by someone else from a book or website but myself and my sister. i think i stated that...

it seemed a little unclear to me, as you mentioned that she went to the Jars archive site and then knew what the song meant, so I was unclear on that point. You do need to footnote her contribution though and cite it, even if it's just a private conversation, there are ways for that to be properly cited.

In His love,

the school seems to accept wikipedia...
well what i mean is my government and gifted program class allowed us to use it.

and also, Nate, I know the 'worship songs' things are very annoying. i first learned about it with my sister. i asked her 'why don't churches sing those other band songs like jars of clay?' and she replied it was because jars doesn't have 'worship songs'. and so i asked her what 'worship songs' were and they're songs that most christians like to sing at church and that something like jars is too hard to understand. i know that 'worship songs' doesn't mean you can worship better that way. it's just a dumb term used by other christians who go to church that have deceptions of the meaning of worship.

If you cited material from them, yes.
