Whoops. @Mark-Kamibaya

Agh, I know. *grimace* This might sound bad, but that’s a problem sometimes with kings and preachers especially—they’re so intent on shepherding their flock or country that they neglect the shepherding of their children.
Does it ever shock you that we have almost the whole book of Proverbs from Solomon, especially with all the stuff about…[Read more]

Let me put it this way. Parents must try their hardest to be awesome parents. That’s what God wants. But the kids might turn out to be nasty people no matter what the parenting. If the parents actually parented well then they aren’t responsible. Kids, after all, have free will.

@Mark-Kamibaya Well, you’re right. 😛 I do think a child will be [Read more]

@Mark-Kamibaya OK, so I guess that means you follow American news pretty closely. 😀

Yes, we can always trust God to do His perfect will. That’s one of my favorite things ever. 😉

And yay for the Cubs! Even though I don’t watch sports. 😛 I love it when the underdogs win.

Oh and @Mark-Kamibaya, are the Phillipines under the American government?

@Sarah-H Hm…intriguing…

@Mark-Kamibaya I might address several of your points, but I think Rolena’s right. I at least would rather not go into all of those on here, though if someone else takes you up I’ll be watching the conversation. 😉
For this one though I heard that Priebus is a Christian. Anyone have a take on that? —I also heard that…[Read more]

But kids tend to do many things for very bad reasons. Like they want attention or they covet or they hate too much or love obsessively (don’t you love run on sentences?).

@Mark-Kamibaya Older people do that sometimes too, though. Messed up ones. 😛

@Sarah-H That’s just fine. 😀
Yup, we’ll be able to see for ourselves in awhile…that’ll be far more enlightening than anyone’s statements.

Our favorite candidate was hugely Ted Cruz. I hope he’ll do better in 2020. 😉

@WarrioroftheRealm I make up tunes for poems and songs sometimes, but I don’t have much experience writing the lyrics myself. I’m sorry I can’t help you… 😛

@Rolena-Hatfield Yay!

@Sarah-H Oh dear, I didn’t know it was against the forum rules to debate politics. *hides face*

That’s all right though. I didn’t exactly want to argue about it, I just felt like saying something… *little shrug*

I hope you’ve thawed out from your camping trip. 😉

@Dragon-Snapper Fun fun. 😀

@Dragon-Snapper Oh, okay. Is there a key of some sort in the back of your copy, or are you learning it from the map?

@Ethryndal Yep, the books are better for the most part. I think there was a little less bad language in the movie though, for which I was happy. 😛

@Anne-of-Lothlorien Something I’ve noticed in books with little kids (and I can currently pull zero examples from my memory. 🙁 I know I’ve seen it somewhere.) is that they seem to be too stereotypically good. That might sound ridiculous, but what I mean is, they seem too wise, and too un-foolish, and too sweet and helpful. I know children are…[Read more]

@Anne-of-Lothlorien If I were reading it as a poem, I think cadence of several lines would need tweaking. But since you said not to read it as a poem, since it’s got a tune and so will fit differently (did you compose the tune yourself?), I like it. 🙂 Since I don’t know the tune, I can’t say whether any of those lines’ cadence ought to be changed…[Read more]

@Anne-of-Lothlorien Lessee… *goes back to find topic in my posting history*

Here it is. Blank Mastermind

@Ethryndal Oh, which movie? The Anthony Andrews one? That’s the only one I’ve seen, and I love it, though it’s not really accurate. 😛 Keep reading the books.

@Anne-of-Lothlorien What, did the Starburst wrapper taste bad or something?

That, my dear @Anne-of-Lothlorien , is equivocation on the word ‘head’. *points stern finger at you* I meant my literal head. 😀 Yesyesyesyesyes I know that’s beside the point. 😛 I have most certainly already lost it.

*trembling mouth* Y-you wanted to do…something t-terrible to Tolkien??! Oh…DEAR. This is most saddening. 😛

Oh wow @Dragon-Snapper you’ve actually taught yourself Dwarvish! Did you teach yourself from the resources in the back of The Return of the King?

@Anne-of-Lothlorien I really don’t want to be raining on any parades, but if you liked Gimli at all my conscience feels bound to tell you he didn’t die. It is said that he sailed with Legolas across the…[Read more]
