@Catwing Aww, sweet! Most of our cats were rescued from the neighborhood, too. Cats just showed up at our doorstep, so what were we to do? 😉 I like your blog!! Shadow is soooo cute. I want to pet him! *reaches out to pet* *hand hits the computer screen* Oops. Neat shark, by the way. 😀

@jane-maree Here, take some ice cream. I have to head out now too.
Have fun with the future!
*wait…does this mean I’m living in the past* Weird.

@daughteroftheking Alrighty! We will have lots of fun! I’ll share some of the ice cream with you. 😀

@Dragon-snapper @Jane-Maree Got to go. Have fun ruling the universe!

@Jane-Maree Oo, that sounds nice. 🙂

@Jane-Maree *gasp* How’s tomorrow? ;P

@Jane-Maree Wait, is it already Tuesday there!? YOU’RE IN THE FUTURE. 😮

@Dragon-Snapper *cackles* Great! *rubs hands together in a villainous manner*
@Jane-maree Howdy! 😀

@Draggon-Snapper *cackles* Great! *rubs hands together in a villainous manner*
@Jane-maree Howdy! 😀

@jane-maree FRIEND! It’s good to read you! 😀

@daughteroftheking Excellent! We start with Earth.

@Dragon-Snapper Count me in! I’ve always wanted to rule a solar system.

@catwing @daeus @shannon @epicaddie2 @jessi-rae I’m either writing, editing or evilly plotting. One of those three. Join me, and we can rule the…ah…solar system.

@his-instrument Of all the instance of deception you mentioned, I don’t see problems with any of them. Except perhaps the alias one. I would think that a false is probably okay, but I’m not totally sure about that. I don’t think the bible specifically condemns deception and, like you pointed out, God sometimes commands deceptive tactics in…[Read more]

@Dragon-Snapper *with great effort resists the temptation to write a thesis on fav Star Trek series* I like the Original Series, Next Gen, and *gestures vaguely* assorted movies. I haven’t seen any of the new movies, although I want to. I also saw Enterprise, but couldn’t really get attached to it. Who’s you favorite character?

@kate-flournoy @daeus
Thank you so much for your excellent thoughts! I agree that God is definitely powerful enough to save lives even when we think our honesty might ruin everything.
The only thing that’s still tripping me up is the difference between lying and deception. Even outside the context of my own story, this question perplexes me. I…[Read more]

@daughteroftheking Haha! Yes, I do like Star Trek. I mainly watch Voyager, though from time to time I’ll watch Next Generation. As for the movies, I’ve only seen Star Trek: Beyond. Which ones do you like?

@lifeofkatie Thank you muchly!

@aratrea It is running at about 84,200 words as of now. Who knows how long it will be after I’m done editing? XD

@His-Instrument excellent example. I’ll just point back to what I said in my first post about consequences for every action, good and bad. Did Jean Valjean save Cosette’s life by assuming a name (and history) that was not his own? Possibly. Very probably.
Could God have saved her life anyway if Valjean had told the absolute truth? Yes.…[Read more]

@his-instrument *blink* Wow, excellent question… I had to think about this one…

However, my answer is not going to be as theological or philosophical as @daeus and @kate-flournoy 😛

So, it wasn’t your post that made me think about this, but rather, the title. Your word alias, made me think about all the alias’ in the world right now. Pen…[Read more]
