We have some exciting news! CCAS has moved to a new and improved version of our platform. Not only is it more powerful and better organized, it is completely responsive (looks great on all devices).
ATTN: MEMBERS WHO JOINED AFTER AUGUST 22, 2019
The only issue we are experiencing with this move:
Members who joined after August 22, 2019 WILL NEED TO RE-ENTER THEIR PROFILE QUESTION, ANSWERS. Please accept our sincere apologies for this inconvenience.
ALL MEMBERS:
We have added a new Profile Question: "Which Category best describes you?"
Categories: Amateur Artist, Professional Artist, Amateur Writer, Professional Writer, Independent Self-Publisher, Traditional Publisher, and Fan.

I just read your testimony for the first time!! Awesome stuff, I'm so grateful for the grace of God on your life. ;)
Wow, thanks so much for the advice! That's really great, and I'll definitely keep what you said in mind. Still need to figure out how to use my scanner though, haha. You're going to the Kubert School? That's awesome! I was thinking about going there...what do you think of it so far? (Especially since I live in Jersey, it would be close by, which is nice.)
Did you say you're just learning??? You are so good!! I wish I were better than I am at art...I still have a lot of work to go....and I need to learn how to use my scanner to upload my art, haha. I kind of feel ashamed though, because it isn't that amazing...ah well, I suppose I might as well. I need to practice more..:P Well, to be honest I was in Teen Challenge with this friend of mine, I have several friends from NC, but can't remember exactly which one is from there. I strongly believe (although I may be wrong) one of them is a girl named Kyrsha (she used to go by Kit). She's currently a junior staff at TC (Teen Challenge), but I think she'll be going to college soon.
...wow, I think you live in the same town as one of my closest friends. O.o
Wow, your art is so cool! :D
Welcome aboard! I'm Scott A. Shuford, one of the new CCAS Board members. I wanted to stop in and say thanks for being involved with CCAS!
If you have any input or would like to be involved with anything in particular, please let me and Eric Jansen (Membership Coordinator for CCAS) know by contacting us both through the site.
To see a bit more about me, check out my profile here on the site. I'm looking forward to getting to know you better.
Can you post or join in a forum discussion topic, post your own blog entry or upload your art or video now? :)
At Your Service,

Consider the words of C.S. Lewis:
"If there lurks in most modern minds the notion that to desire our own good and to earnestly hope for the enjoyment of it is a bad thing, I suggest that this notion has crept in from Kant and the Stoics and is no part of the Christian faith. Indeed, if we consider the unblushing promises of reward and the staggering nature of the rewards promised in the Gospels, it would seem that our Lord finds our desires, not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling around with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at sea. We are far too easily pleased."
