@ClaireC I agree that it would mean more to us Americans if you included the poem at the end. But then, if your intended audience is Australian, I suppose it doesn’t matter.

@bluejay I know, it would be so much more fun in person. Oh well, maybe one day. 🙂
Haha, we would complement each other well. I deal with the snakes, you kill the spiders. I’ve always thought snakes were cool, but the snakes I’m used to are harmless, so maybe that’s why. It’s funny, I used to be fine with spiders too (I used to catch them for…[Read more]

Okay, here we are @bluejay @ClaireC.
I confess I do not know what quokkas or goanna are. You have the coolest animals over there. What kind of seals do you have? I never thought of seals being around Australia, I don’t know why. Have either of you been to the Great Barrier Reef? I want to go there one day; it sounds amazing. @bluejay It’s too…[Read more]

@claireC @bluejay I shall move to the “where do you live” topic, as you suggested…

@Bluejay Oh well, that’s okay. Busy days happen. 🙂 I’m looking forward to our next one. It’s fun reading the Bible and knowing that someone halfway around the world is doing it too. 🙂

@ClaireC Sounds like you had an exciting day, though. Have fun with your youth group! 🙂

@bluejay I know, the ending with Jeff was terrible. Have you read his other two series, the Young Underground and the Promise of Zion? They are really good too, although Promise of Zion has a similar tragic ending. I found the Billabong series! I can’t wait to read it; thank you for suggesting it. 🙂 And…speaking of snakes…I have a really dumb…[Read more]

I was able to do quite a bit today, which I am very happy about; thank you all for doing it with me! How did you do @bluejay @ClaireC ?

@bluejay Me too! I’m a little confused by the time change, so I’ll do it today, and if today was the wrong day I’ll do it tomorrow, too. 🙂

@bluejay — The only series I’ve read set in Australia is Adventures Down Under by Robert Elmer. Have you read them? They’re set in the 1800s. I want to read more Australian books; your homeland is so intriguing.

@Christi-Eaton Thank you. I’ll steer clear of those two. 🙂

I am becoming more and more convinced that prayer is not so much about the requests, as the requesting. First, because God just plain likes us praying to him, then also it can sometimes be a way of testing us, and finally, I think one of the most important aspects of prayer, is that you grow just by being with Him. Relationship building happens…

@ClaireC Yes, thanks for doing it with me. There have been a few days when I’ve been tempted to give up, but I am determined to stick with it.

@Christi-Eaton It’s mainly the romance I was worried about, but if that’s not an issue, I’ll definitely read them. I really like novels about the Early Church, and I haven’t been able to find many.
