@sarah-h & @clairec I have heard of the book but have not read it. But I have read the two books by his brother, Alex and Brett. Do Hard Things & Do Hard Things-Start Here. Both are great books. 🙂

@bluejay, I’ve read Do Hard Things. We have Start Here, but I haven’t gotten around to it yet. I will, though! 🙂

@clairec Well worth it. It made me hold a fundraiser to raise money to help free slaves. (Zach Hunter’s story really inspired me) He has a book called Be the Change. That’s great too. 🙂

@sarah-h
I’ve read I Kissed Dating Goodbye and Do Hard Things. There’ both good though make sure you don’t take I Kissed Dating Goodbye as a formula that will make everything work. A tool to help you make wise choices and explain them to you friends but not a formula. As we’ve seen recently on KP, there’s many ways people can get to being engaged/married.

@anna-brie, I agree. My sister is on Revive, a christian ‘Facebook’ that’s associated with the Rebelution (Alex and Brett Harris) and she said that a lot of people had taken ‘I Kissed Dating Goodbye’ too far, making it a formula and not having any room to learn and do things differently. 🙂

@clairec @anna-brie Thanks for the warning. Seems like things always go wrong when people try to make something into a formula. Speaking of different ways to get engaged, Haley mentioned in the video that her parents chose betrothal over courtship. Do you know what the difference is? I thought they were the same thing.

@bluejay You held a fundraiser to free slaves? How did you do it?

[ClaireC]

@sarah-h, I have no idea what the difference is. It’s something I have a lot of questions about, though, as it’s probably the most important decision you make in your life. Should you date? Should you kiss anyone before your wedding ceremony? Oh, so many questions… I say no to both those things as a personal standard, by the way. 🙂

@clairec So do I. Say no that is. 🙂

@sarah-h We held a silent auction (people write their bids rather then call it out) (business donated items) and had money raising games played during the night. It was a heap of fun and we raised around $2,120.

@clairec Me too. That’s funny; I don’t think I have any American friends who believe that.

@bluejay That is so cool. Which country was it helping free slaves in? Africa?

[ClaireC]

@sarah-h, If you want discussions on this topic (and any other) from a Christian perspective with other teens, you could check out Revive (the Christian ‘Facebook’ I mentioned in the post above) I’m not on it, but my sister, HeatherC, is. If you join you can tag her and she’ll say hi. 🙂

@clairec Thanks! It’s nice to know they have something like that out there. Maybe I will join it someday. 🙂

@sarah-h, what time is it there?

@clairec 2:26 a.m. Busted. 🙂 I’m so tired my head is starting to spin.

[ClaireC]

@sarah-h, Oh the PAIN!! You must be half dead!!

@clairec I’m pretty much exhausted. I can’t stay awake any longer. Good night! 🙂 See you tomorrow (although technically, it would be later today, since it’s tomorrow now. 🙂 ).
