@anna-brie, Great!! 🙂

@anna-brie, I can write for an hour from 3:30 – 4:30 pm. Thanks for your reply to my introduction too. Nice to find another Aussie!

That’s great, @bluejay! I read my 7 chapters of Matthew and 3 chapters of Genesis. We’ll have to do it again some time! 🙂

@clairec I got 14 and 1/2 chapters read in Job. I was busy for most of the afternoon but I got lots of reading done in the evening.

@bluejay, okay, no worries! 🙂

@clairec I’d love to, but I’ve got to work on a stop motion for a competition in America. I’m going to try and put in a full days work today, but I should be able to write tomorrow. Or maybe even tonight. I guess we’ll see. 🙂

@bluejay, how did you go yesterday? I don’t know how your Sundays are, but I was out most of the day and so not reading any fiction wasn’t really a challenge anyway. @sarah-h, I’ll do the Bible Challenge with you on Monday the 24th July to start with if you like. I like your idea of 2 1/2 hours of time with God! FABULOUS idea!!!! 🙂 I spend 1 hour…[Read more]

@bluejay, I am writing for 20 mins if you want to join me.

@sarah-h I think that’s a great idea too. I sometimes don’t think I’d have enough time, but that’s because I fill it with other stuff. Like 2 1/2 hours on my laptop. How would I be able to help you?

@hope Sign of the Shield sounds great.
*I still like Crowned Powerless, but I understand that some titles, no matter how awesome, just don’t work*

@hope, If it is Christian nonfiction, you know, commentaries, studies, etc. I guess it would count as ‘Bible’; you can really interpret the challenge however you want. You can be super strict and only read the Bible, or, if you really want to, you can expand it to nonfiction Christian literature.

@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]

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]

Thanks, @bluejay, for tagging those others.
@daeus, I’m glad you like the idea. What’s the Bible bee?

This is something I have trouble with on and off. Right now, I’m doing the bible bee so things are coming along well, but I may very well make use of this later.

Here are a few more tags so people see this awesome idea. Come and check it out.

Thanks, @kate-flournoy.

@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]
