😀 you’re welcome to go to  bed if you so desire (however I am half asleep as well and its  only mid afternoon)

Researching gender roles. Out of all the groups in the world, you’d think that Christians would be the best at agreeing. *sigh*

@rochellaine

Are you around today?

I’m assuming no one else will be, but if any of you are still awake, feel free to join me.

@seekjustice I know that’s tough. Praying for all of you.

@ariel-ashira

Ah, no my dear Ariel. I only read the blurbs 😛

@skredder Awesome, thanks so much! 🙂

(and if a lot of time passes and I haven’t started reading your book, feel free to remind me 😉 )

@rochellaine

A doctorate? Well… 😀 I truly do go along and read the blurbs of Christian romance novels. 😛 Its a fascinating and utterly useless hobby.

Sure! I’d be happy to pick this up again whenever you see fit. Goodnight!

@rochellaine

I read the blurbs 😛 I actually have read a few, never on purpose but usually because I’m promised an awesome retelling or medieval book…and it turns out to be a romance. and I’m too stubborn to stop reading half way through it (the only reason I ever stop reading a book is if I have moral problems with it. I just hate half…[Read more]

@rochellaine

I did know that most of the Amish/Mennonite population was around there, because all the Christian Amish fiction takes place, predominantly, in Pennsylvania. Also, ages ago I guessed that you lived in Pennsylvania, and I wasn’t that far wrong.

I’m not even sure if Australia has an Amish community. It certainly isn’t as public as America’s.

@sarah-anson

Why thank you. Its been on my mind a bit so I thought I’d discuss it.

@Rochellaine

Well, I guess if her husband just sees it as part of who she is, he’s less likely to want her to stop wearing it, so it sounds very effective to me 😛

No. No one at the church I go to wear any sort of covering and off the top of my head I can’t think of anyone else I know who would. I have some acquaintances who are devout Catholics…[Read more]

@rochellaine

I remember that sort of thing happening to me lately but I can’t remember why now. There was some reason I wanted to jump up and keep correcting the preacher 🙂

@rochellaine

Like I said, until I started reading the Bible for myself (rather than someone reading the Bible to me) I’d never heard the idea of wearing a headcovering. Since I was five I’ve attended a Baptist church and the issue was never addressed. In fact, today was really the first time I ever thought about it in depth. I personally don’t…[Read more]

@skredder Oh my word I’m so sorry! I think I figured out the problem, but then I started beta reading Seekjustice’s book (which has a deadline I’m trying super hard to meet). I really wanna finish it; but would it be okay if I finish reading Seekjustice’s then hop right to yours? (since there’s a deadline).

@rochellaine

I like discussing controversial topics. 🙂 Especially the ones people skirt around for fear of offending someone. 😛

Yep, I understand what you’re talking about. I think a lot of Western culture has lost the original meanings of many parts of both the New and Old testaments just because we have such a limited understanding of…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Well, I know he was a minister of some kind but other than that I don’t really know anything about him, except that C S. Lewis liked him and his writing a lot. There was one book of his that I decided to steer clear of because of the fact that it dealt with Adam’s supposed first wife. However, since the books of his I’ve read don’t…[Read more]

@rochellaine

I’ve read The Princess and the Goblins, The Princess and Curdie and The Light Princess, I know I read another book many years ago but I forget what it was. I’ve never been able to find any of his other ones.

@rochellaine

I didn’t really think I had done anything 🙂

However, I am very curious to know what you wanted to talk about.

@seekjustice oh that’s terrible! I will be praying for strength and comfort for all the people affected by this.

@seekjustice, oh, that’s hard. Praying. 🙂

@alia @rochellaine @clairec @catwing @jenwriter17

Guys, I’d really like your prayers at the moment. One of our little ponies is really sick and has to be put down. She has no been well for a while and she’s very old, so its not really a surprise, but it’s going to be hard on my family, especially my sister who’s been away for a bit and doesn’t…[Read more]
