Write what should not be forgotten. — Isabel Allende
Interesting topic idea! I wish I could read through everyone’s replies but I neither have the time nor energy for that right now. 😅 but I will take the time to reply!
What is your denomination?
I grew up Independent Baptist, but the church we go to now is non-denominational (although their doctrines align pretty closely with Baptist doctrines).
Did you grow up with this denomination? Are you still growing up with it?Or did you convert to it yourself?
Grew up with it! Both of my parents were raised in primarily Christian homes and I’ve been blessed with that same privilege. I got saved when I was five years old. <3
How many books are in your bible? And if you wish, what are those books?
66!
How many people in your family are that denomination? (If any are a separate denomination, or religion)
Pretty much everyone? Their churches might claim a different denomination, but we all believe the same thing (I’m talking about extended family in this case)
How many sacraments do you have? (If any…again, I am not sure if there is a denomination with zero sacraments)
I guess two? The ones I can think of off the top of my head are baptism and the Lord’s Supper. (I know a lot of denominations have these)
Who is the head of your denomination? (i.e. The pope for Catholics.)
Jesus!
Although the leadership within the local church changes depending on what that specific church has decided. Some just have a head pastor, maybe an associate pastor, and deacons. Or (in our case), we have multiple elders that lead the church, but one of them is the one who regularly preaches on Sundays.
Who is your favorite hero from the Bible? (Can’t be Jesus. But he should be all of ours.)
Esther. yes, I know I’m biased 😜
And finally, what is your favorite tradition from your religion?
Ummm… I can’t really think of a tradition that is specific for our religion.

@stephie I actually don’t have a blog! I’ve heard some really advice from bloggers though, so I’ll share that with you when I get the time. :))

In Indiana, you can start driver’s ed at 15.😎
I haven’t actually started yet though and I only just signed up.Ohhh noiceee 😎 Yeah, I have to wait until I’m 15 1/2. 🤪 Which is both good and bad timing in this case. By the end of May I’ll reach that point, which means I can get my temps. I’ll have lots of time and opportunities to get experience because I’ll prolly be working and I’ll have volleyball open gyms…buuuuut….then the volleyball season starts in the fall, which (if I feel comfortable enough behind the wheel to drive to school) will help me rack up a bunch of the hours I need, but it will also keep me from taking driver’s ed (cuz it would interfere with volleyball) and it will be hard to get night hours cuz it doesn’t get dark until like later at night in the fall.

Oh my goodness I love this so much 🥹
Sometimes I wonder if this forum is actually helping me grow as a writer, and then I look at all the connections and friendships I’ve made and I’m like—yes. <33

Prayers for my family and my aunt’s family please.
They (my aunt and uncle) had to put down one of their dogs that they’d had for about ten years. I won’t go into the reasons why, but just pray for comfort for them, because they really didn’t want to do it. Pray for our family as well. We took care of the dogs for three years when my aunt and uncle were living overseas (for military). We loved the two dogs so much. 😢 Thankfully the dog’s “brother” is doing okay and he’s not acting out or acting lethargic, so that’s good for their family. And although their family lives a while away from us, they came to visit during Christmas, so I’m glad we got to see him one more time. <3
