Happy February!
As everyone is celebrating love and everything is covered in pink and red, we wanted to take this month to talk all things singleness.
We have a short story, poem, book review, and a bunch more waiting for you. Not to mention an interview with the debut author Sarah Grace Grzy, which you don’t want to miss.
Enjoy!
School starting, hints of fall . . . August is almost gone! This month we had a lot of fun with a variety of pages, including several by some pretty awesome guest writers. We are also excited to welcome Grace Maples to the team and introduce her to you as the newest Th!nk author!
In this issue of Th!nk, we are diving into the topic of creativity. Creativity is a God-given gift, but so often we tend to try to fit it into a specific box. Which is sort of a paradox since it is “creativity”. We hope you enjoy!
We also have a book review for Fawkes by Nadine Brandes, a tasty lemon chicken recipe, a short story about comparison, a letter to the girl who misses her dad, and a few others.

Another month has come and gone. We say this frequently, but it always seems to go by so fast! Wouldn’t you agree? A friend once told me that maybe that was another proof that we were created to be eternal and to live in Heaven outside of time.
Anyways, I hope that your month has been fun, especially as you are finishing school or preparing for summer. 🙂 In this month’s magazine, we are talking about time management. Time is a precious gift and a unique commodity. Once it is used it can’t be used again, yet we are using it constantly. I know that for myself, I waste much more of it than I would have hoped. What about you? well, today, we’re tackling how to use our time wisely for God’s glory.
As always, if you have any questions, comments, or suggestions, please comment down below! We love to hear from readers.

Welcome to November! The weather is finally cooling off (I’m told it snowing in some states already?), the holidays are just around the corner, and it’s a great time to address a topic that every human being deals with: fear. Maybe you’re afraid of spiders, maybe it’s the unknown, or snakes, or heights, or failure, or isolation, or fill-in-the-blank. Read on for more!
| Training Grounds – Teaching a Horst Respect
By Guest Writer Claire S. simply cannot concentrate on you when there are other things going on. In fact, sometimes you are even scared that your horse really has no clue you are standing right beside him and might just run right over you! Take heart! There is a very simple solution. problem. Basically, by worrying about what is going on over the fence or in the next stall rather than calmly looking to you, your horse is saying, ‘I don’t trust you to take care of me, I have to take care of myself.’ To begin with, you should analyze why your horse is thinking like this. Have you ever let him be hurt by anything? Have you ever done something around, near, or to him that really shook his trust in you? Trust takes a long time to rebuild, and I suggest you start working on that. You must prove yourself again to your horse. It is far easier to always treat your horse with respect and look after him well than to try to patch up broken trust. head below his withers an endorphin is released which gives him a pleasant sensation. Putting his head down to eat, resting it on the ground when he is lying down, all these things feel very good to the horse. When he eats or lies down, he is relaxed because of the endorphin. So, to get your horse less uptight, you simply must lower his head. You will always lose at tug-of-war with your horse; he is much stronger than you are, so don’t pull down on your lead rope! Instead, start by putting your hand over his poll, right between his ears. With your thumb and middle finger (or pinkie, if your hand is small) you should feel two indentations in the horse’s skull at the base of his ears. Apply a small amount of pressure with your fingers here with your right hand, while applying soft pressure downward with your lead rope. It there is no response, wiggle your fingers, gradually increasing pressure until the horse drops his head away from the pressure. Immediately release all pressure and praise him! Even if he moves a millimetre, release, praise, and keep practicing this. myriad of horse problems. When your horse lowers his head when you tell him, you can put a bridle on easier. You can help him calm down in a scary situation, and you have more control over your horse. |
