Hello, @mackenzie! Definitely relate on the sunset love and reading choices! (My sister breeds dogs, but my passion for them is very tame.)

Favorite writing music: definitely soundtracks. But whatever I’m listening to, I always do it with an ear to finding songs for my WIP Spotify playlists– and the song titles have to be appropriate to my story…[Read more]

@mackenzie

Indeed research for Historical Fiction is tedious. It’s so worth it though. I’ve been reading the Zion Covenant series by Body Thoene and they are beautifully written and extremely accurate. I think some people use them as History books. 😉 I want to write like that.

(Thanks for the disclaimer 😄). That’s a good tip though! It’s hard…[Read more]

@mackenzie

Yes, misbehaving ovens are tough to deal with. Thankfully ours has been pretty good lately. *pats oven kindly* 🙂

I love writing and reading Historical Fiction!! It takes me a lot longer to write though because of all the research. I have yet to finish a Hisfic project but I have a couple started. My current project is YA contemporary…[Read more]

@mackenzie

Hmm…I don’t remember a certain instance but it seems I always have trouble making sure things are cooked properly. Our oven is finicky. Stuff looks like it’s cooked and then when I cut it open it’s squishy. 🙁

What genres do you write?

@mackenzie

Wuzetka sounds delicious! I’ve always considered baking fun, and cooking necessary. (But I could blame this entirely on my sweet tooth.😉) I’ve never explored a particular cuisine. Is it difficult to find the ingredients you need?

(I have a sweet tooth too…good to know I’m not the only one who is tempted by sugar.) Sometimes it is har…[Read more]

@mackenzie it was!

@mackenzie

That depends on how I’m feeling, would I play along, or would I point out the fallacy? Maybe both.

“If no cat has 2 tails, and all cats have one more tail than no cat, then do all cats have 3 tails?”

I would say that if it is indeed true that a ‘no cat’ as 2 tails, and it is true that a ‘cat’ has one more tail than a ‘no cat’, then a…[Read more]

@mackenzie

In my opinion, (don’t hate me for this!😄) when worldbuilding takes center stage it can read like a text book. I do appreciate worldbuilding and rigorously defined rules, especially the work that goes into them, but they’re not aspects I’m drawn to in a book. I still believe in keeping details consistent, but I’m a character driven…

I don’t really know where it will take me, but I do want to become a preacher. I plan on including lots of apologetics in my sermons. I am learning to code, so I’ve considered making a website that includes Christian apologetics.

@smiley @mackenzie @keilah-again

I went to the Ark Encounter too!

@mackenzie

I’ve made a few Polish dishes like pirogi, keilbasa and kapusta (sauerkraut) and I want to try more, but my favorite so far is a dessert called wuzetka. Basically it’s a chocolate cake with a thick layer of whipped cream in the middle. It’s eaten cold, which makes it a lovely summer treat! Do you enjoy cooking/baking? And do you have a…[Read more]

@Orangearmadillo You have some great answers to those questions!! Are you planning to work for/start an apologetics organization someday?

@smiley @mackenzie I’ve been to the Ark Encounter too! It was really fun.

@mackenzie

no problemo

@mackenzie

I may have misread your question. I thought you meant encouraging someone who is already a Christian, but now I’m thinking you meant someone who is no longer a Christian but used to be.

So, if that’s the case, I would try to say something like, “Hey, you wanna come to church/youth group/a church event, etc.?” Then if they say no, I…[Read more]

@folith-feolin

Hey, I’m not sure if it’s the same kind as what you do, but I really like to do computer programming too! I like to make games in C# coding language. How about you?

@mackenzie

I have had lots of conversations with both friends who call themselves Christians but don’t respect God. How I would encourage them is trying to bring…[Read more]

@mackenzie

Thanks

Yeah, it was super cool and fun I went with my church. I actually like the creation museum better but they were both super cool

@orangearmadillo

Oooh interesting topic

I feel like there’s a whole different acceptance of faith. I know a lot of kids that became Christians young but turned away from God, and I also noticed that their parents were turning away from God. I think there’s a time when you have to make your faith your own. Maybe for a long time, your faith was…[Read more]

@mackenzie

Well if they treat you childish for it, you could assume that they think it is basically a fairy tale, or a crutch for weak people to lean on. They clearly don’t know that there is strong evidence and proof for God’s existence. A good thing to do in that case would be to say something like, “It’s not like I believe in a fairy tale. Did…[Read more]

@mackenzie

He wasn’t necessarily struggling with the idea, he admitted it. But he did say quite a lot that he was a good person, that type of thing. It was hard to get across to him that doing good things wasn’t enough, but here’s what I said: “If you commit a crime, and when you are proven guilty, you say, ‘But I’ve done a lot of good things,’…[Read more]
