*gasp* It's flawed?! Noooooooooooo!! :cry:

If it is not how I'd say it, then it's not how I should write? Well...I talk like that and tend to switch tenses without knowing. Even when I check, it whizzes through my mind because it is right to me. English here in where I live is a second language. Try as hard I am to be pure in my english, errors still seep in.

Man...this shows how rusty I am.

Ignore harunokaze. They're just looking to nitpick! That peice was so beautiful. The message speaks so loud it overpowers any typos or tense changes. It doesn't make a negative impact, not water it down.

It was beautiful and is beautiful! That is probably the best reading I've done all week. I loved it and many other people did too.

I would differ from the above advice: don't be discouraged by technical criticism, but don't categorically ignore it, either. Even if it comes across as nitpicking, it's good to be able to recognize and correct one's mistakes.

Well-written... I differ from the point only in my opposition to the use of Jesus as a character in a symbolic object lesson, but I can't judge for that.

In the case that you can't catch your own mistakes I HIGHLY recommend getting someone to read through and edit your work. All the tense changes make an extreme negative impact on the readabilty and thus water down the impact of your writing.
