@Hope I do believe assassinations in wartime are no different than pitched battle. The object is to kill either way, and I see no reason why an ambush in the middle of the night should be permitted, yet a single man not be permitted to sneak into enemy headquarters and kill a general.
In the case of terrorists, terrorists are by definition…[Read more]

@bluejay. May have something to do with the fact that most of the books we read are American. That’s the case for me, anyhow. 😛 I love my country too!!

@clairec That’s great.
I have just started a new set of short stories. *It will be interesting to see how they turn out* And the funny thing is, they are actually set in Australia. I tend to pop my stories in America!!!! I wonder why?!?!?!
Yeah! Go Aussies. “Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, Oi, Oi, Oi.” *dances a silly dance while grinning crazily. I love…[Read more]

@bluejay I am really close to finishing my character arcs!
Australia was top on the medal rankings yesterday, and now they’re third. Still pretty good. 🙂 I used to do gymnastics, so that’s probably my favourite thing to watch. I read in the Challenge newspaper (a fabulous Christian newspaper, in case you haven’t heard of it) that Bronte and Cate…[Read more]

@clairec I got 484 words and Australia just got another bronze medal. YAY!!!!! *I’m not a huge Olympic fan, but I love watching the swimming and diving* 🙂
How’d you go…?

Okey-dokey! @bluejay

Great. I may have a quick break in a minute or two, but it won’t be for long. 🙂 See you in half an hour. 😀

@bluejay, Yes. I’m starting now.

Frindle is about a boy who decides that a pen should be called a frindle. And it’s about the war that goes on because of it and how the world responds to it. Great book, well worth reading. It is by Andrew Clements.
The Butterfly Lion…how to describe it. Let me just write what is on the back of the book.
Bertie rescues an orphaned white lion cub…[Read more]

@clairec are you available to write for half an hour???
or @jess if you are interested…

@Daeus A-MEN! 😀

@Hope— what he said. 😉

@hope I get the idea you asked several questions there.

First, you seem to ask that if there is a situation in which it is ok to kill, does that apply no matter who is in the position to be killed, whether villain, friend, neutral, brother, etc.

That does have a clear answer in my opinion, but not a simple one. The reason is that there are…[Read more]

@Hope all good questions. I do think I would tend to say it’s cowardice to beg for swift death over torment (though goodness knows if I would have the strength to take it), because ultimately God is in control (so cliche— but He is 😉 ) and ‘I can do ALL THINGS through Christ, who strengthens me.’ That would apply to silence in the face of…[Read more]

@hope have you ever read Ella Enchanted by Gail Carson Levine? She does that with her book.

@dragon-snapper It least I’m not the only one then. 🙂
Have you ever read books by Captain W.E.Johns? He writes about a pilot called Bigglesworth “Biggles” to his friends. He fights in World War 1 & 2 and when it’s not war he’s a air-police detective. Well worth reading. My brother collects them and now I have started my own set two. I think there…[Read more]

@Dragon-Snapper include this line in a story: ‘Dude, we are not asking the dragon for directions.’

I love your dare, @Jess. 😉

And what on this earth is a nose flute?????

Hi @corissa-maiden-of-praise. Welcome. Wait!!!! *stares at your post* You win. *pats you on the back* 🙂

So things about me….

Well, I too am dedicated to Jesus. Sometimes though I feel as though it is lacking in my life. So there is a great forum topic here when you tag someone to read nothing but the Bible all day. It is a great lot of fun,…[Read more]
