@Hope it was an absolutely beautiful speech. The gist of it was, politics is not about candidates or parties or even government. It’s about an ideal— about liberty. And whenever it becomes about anything else, it becomes invalid. People are in charge of the government, and we have a voting process to let the voice of the people be heard, so…[Read more]

@Hope it was an absolutely beautiful speech. And I know what you mean— lots of people were very upset that he ‘broke his promise’ to support the nominee, and his response to them was perfect. Basically, he pointed out that the field has changed. When he pledged to support the Republican nominee, (roughly paraphrasing his own words here) he did…[Read more]

@Daeus, @Kate-flournoy, @anna-brie, @gretald, @overcomer, @bluejay, @jadamae
I’m back here in titles, guys, and I wanted your honest thoughts on an idea I got in the middle of the night and which just might work.
Sign of the ShieldIt sounds snappy enough. It’s somewhat cryptic, but not completely baffling. It has a fantasy feel. It would go…[Read more]

Hope Ann replied to the topic Bible Challenge in the forum General Writing Discussions 10 years, 2 months ago
That’s a neat idea. I have gone days without reading fiction before, because I run out of time and only end up reading my Bible and some nonfiction. That would be hard, to not be able to read nonfiction either, only the Bible. Not because I don’t like the Bible, but because there are so many other books I’m trying to read and get through. I don’t…[Read more]

@Kate-flournoy I didn’t see it, though I did hear about it. I wasn’t sure at first, because they did sign papers saying they’d support each other. But Trump rescinded on his promise awhile back, and Cruz has said he’ll support him as the party candidate, he’s just not endorsing him. Which I think is a sign of someone with strong moral beliefs, no…[Read more]

So, did anyone here watch Ted Cruz’s convention speech a few days ago? If so, what did you think?
Personally, every time I’ve been sure he had to fold under the pressure, he’s come out stronger than I remembered and twice as impressive. This time was no exception. It’s really encouraging to see someone sticking up for the truth, even if it doesn’t…[Read more] -

@ClaireC I would love to, but unfortunately I don’t think I’ll have time for any reading tomorrow other than my morning devotions. Actually… come to think of it, I do this a lot. Summer is really busy for my family, and frequently I don’t have time for any reading besides the Bible in the morning. So… I guess I will be doing it, it’s just not…[Read more]

@clairec That’s great. Do you have any idea where you are going to read? I’m going to read through Job. I’ve been reading a study book on Job and it’s amazing. So I need to explore this book further. I have a feeling that there is more to Job than what meets the eye. 🙂

BlueJay replied to the topic Bible Challenge in the forum General Writing Discussions 10 years, 2 months ago
@clairec This is a great idea. I have heard that reading lots of different books helps you to write better and the Bible is the best book in the world.
Would you like to do it tomorrow with me? I would love that. 🙂 -

@clairec I got 347 word written. So many distractions. 🙁 It’s not meant to snow. The worst is the power is off. *Brrr; cold*
How’d you go? -
BlueJay replied to the topic Writers' Corner 2 in the forum General Writing Discussions 10 years, 2 months ago
15 minutes definitely. Hopefully half an hour max. And guess what???? It just snowed. 😮 I can’t believe. I don’t think it was forecast to snow. 😛

@clairec Still writing? I’m not normally awake so early. I think 10-10:30 will be the best for us. Although I’m not sure I’ll be able to do it today as I’ll be hanging out with family.

So @clairec Are you writing now? I can join you till seven if you are.
@hope Thanks for dropping in. Yes, I think I got it figured out, (Thank you @kate-flournoy) But I will keep in mind the map in the hilt and the decorative line. 🙂 If I have any more questions, I will definitely ask them. 😀 -
Hope Ann replied to the topic Writers' Corner 2 in the forum General Writing Discussions 10 years, 2 months ago
@bluejay I’m a little late to the party, I guess. You seem to have it figured out now, though clues on a dagger would be cool. Perhaps a name engraved into it, or decorative lines they discover are actually part of a map. Or..Or a hilt that conceals a message. He accidentally threw the wrong dagger. Or ran out of weapons. *smirks*
Anyhow, if you…[Read more]

@daeus There, there. I understand you totally. I love repeating from movies, non-stop. However the rest of my family can only stand a line or two. So generally I can’t do it when I’m with them. *Joins you in weeping hysterically* Whoa, we are all being very hysterical this morning. I wonder why?????
