Glad it was helpful! (Am more than mildly curious who this character will be)

Gracious, I don’t like this guy. Or Riker’s father much either. They’re…slimy. *stalks out of room*

@whalekeeper

Indeed we do have very different theological and cosmological prospectives. It just bugs me that that needs to be where the identity of us as Christians must be. Yes, theology is important, but what did Christ constantly denounce the Pharisees for doing? Weren’t they constantly concerning themselves about being right, and Christ was…[Read more]

Sorry, right now I have no plans to read Yumi and the Nightmare Painter. After seeing some of the artwork in the book, it seems there may be some scenes I would not be comfortable reading. I also found out that the plot involves Yumi and Panter switching bodies, which is not something I am interested in reading about. I know…

@theducktator same!!! I don’t like math much either, but for a while Fred’s escapades helped with that. I’ve since switched to a different math program but we still have all the books, and I enjoy reading them.

@whalekeeper hmmm….Well, I’ll go with a character I know you know. But I won’t use any of the songs he is normally associated with to make it harder.

These tracks all have something about them that, when I get inside his head to write him, these are the vibes I get out of it.

Concrete Halls; Warmth; Dead Voxel (all by C418, Minecraft…[Read more]

@theducktator lol

also RIP Alfonso. Unless he was evil.

@theducktator something similar to the moose thing has happened to my family before lol

ooh also did you get your signature from the Life of Fred math series? My family has all of them, they’re hilarious. oh and yes I have seen Mississippi Squirrel Revival. My dad listens to a lot of random stuff too lol

@savannah_grace2009

Aww, I love it!!

@freed_and_redeemed

Hmm… maybe you could bring Riker to a point where he starts playing what-if scenarios in his head. Like “What if God does really love me?” “What if I can actually be forgiven?” Etc. to where he eventually starts believing it. I’m sure he’ll fight it at first, but then he just finally…[Read more]

(I’m finally getting back to you within a few days!! 😱😂)

Ok, awesome!

Hallie

Hallie blinked a few times, the awkwardness of the moment sinking in. Her cheeks burned as she took a step back. “Oh, I guess… Well… um, thanks?” She forced a chuckle. Top hat? She mentally scrambled for something else to say, but nothing came to mind.…[Read more]

@trailblazer

What are some ways to set up healthy boundaries with technology to keep it from overruling our lives, and how can we use it to our benefit? What can we do to take advantage of this tool, literally at our fingertips, to make God known?

A common practice within my own faith is fasting. We specifically fast from food every first Sunday.…[Read more]

@freed_and_redeemed

Oh my goodness the poor darlings 😭😭😭 I need to see them happy and healed soon 😭

I loved Leon’s confrontation scene. *hugs him* And Isaiah is so sweet 💖

And Riker 😭😭😭😭😭  *hugs him too*

Humanity wasn’t ready for the internet. How life is fundamentally lived changed within a generation with the introduction of phones. That was uncharted territory, we’ve introduced trials of mental, physical, and social health never seen before, and we had no way to prepare for that, because of how fast it came about. Why talk to real people when…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint

Tress is a wonderful book. It was the first of Sanderson’s more whimsical writings I’ve read (then I found Alcatraz…). It’s fun, light hearted, and very unique. Please let me know when you read Yumi and the Nightmare Painter!

Of course, Brandon Sanderson is not a Christian, but a Mormon

Why deny our relationship with Christ😥

@freed_and_redeemed

Hmm… stubborn characters can be troublesome.

Here are me thoughts. Use such as are helpful, discard such as aren’t.

• He already can’t live with his guilt/shame/hopelessness. That is quite obvious. He just needs to realize what is already clear to everyone else including the reader.
• Due to the very fact that he hasn’t…

@stephie

Sooo… I feel really bad because I never was able to read the book 🫣 I really wanted to I just totally forgot/didn’t get the time!! 😭

I have a basic idea of what the book’s about though, so I’m looking forward to reading y’all’s discussions!

@freed_and_redeemed

Hurry up and get to the end when they’re all redeemed alreadyyy!! 😩

Jk jk 😂😂

Great job though, girlie! I loved reading some of your writing again!

@savannah_grace2009

(Sorry it took me forever to get to this!! 😭)

Ooh, I love it!! I really like how you changed it!

@freed_and_redeemed

Thank you so much for the update, the poor dears. They need some help. And maybe some tea and cookies.

So…I have some feedback for Riker’s scene. I am supposing this is nearing the crisis point of the second book, as Riker is getting a broken record sensation with his guilt. Otherwise…ooof. That was a hard scene.

Also, I…[Read more]

If someone ever makes their tag line something like @everyone-else or @anyone-who-reads-this I already pity them.
