I might just try this. I’ve been wanting to do a music challenge for a while.

I already know one of them! (cue groans from my siblings who have to bear with me crying every time I hear it now. XD)

@the-lost-journal

Okay, but don’t you think it is a little… robotic…? to just say: “the Bible and C.S. Lewis told me so!” Or a little childish? Well, of course if the Bible tells you something you should probably listen to it (obviously) but don’t have your own opinion on the matter? Like WHY does the Bible and Lewis say that?

I would be careful…[Read more]

Ah! Faithfulness. That’s the one I was trying to remember. XD

@the_lost-journal

1. What are your thoughts on Jesus having siblings? I believe that Mary and Joseph were blessed with kids (three sons and daughters, if I remember correctly.) They would technically be Jesus’s half-siblings.

2. If you could visit one of the holy sights from around the world, where would you go? And why? Holy sites? The Western…[Read more]

@keilah-h

The last one, but I love endings.

@keilah-h

AHHH! That movie is the best!

@koshka

I know. It’s so bad.

Rory

Rory watched in fascination while Leo worked. As the older boy began wrapping his knee, he spoke. “Any profession you ever wished to work in?”

Rory swallowed and blinked. “I… I don’t really know what that means.”

@ellette-giselle

Oh goodness, this kid is so awfully oblivious. It’s a handkerchief! XD

Leo

Rummaging through several junk drawers produced a thin foam pad, two unsharpened pencils, an old knit shirt, and one hopefully unused ace wrap from a questionablely dated first aid kit.

“Let’s see what we can do for that knee.”

He knelt in front of…[Read more]

🤣

@keilah-h

I know. 😢

@keilah-h

Cool!

Rory’s having trauma. again. He may not make it to the dance.

@koshka

Her huff of frustration nearly blew his eardrum. He winced.

*Dies laughing*

Rory

Rory stared at the cloth Leo had given him. He wasn’t exactly sure what to do with it, so he folded it into a neat square and set it on his knee. Then he wiped the tears from his face with the back of his sleeve. Reaching out, he picked up the water…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Why thank you. He’s come a long way.

Leo

He slipped his handkerchief into Rory’s. The work fridge down here had a case of water bottles. Leo got one, opened it, and set it on the small table by the couch.

“I’ll get a few things tied up and we can go.”

First, to message Liko and Silvia. He set his glass tablet down on the…[Read more]

@koshka

L-E-O IS THE BEST!!!!

Rory

Rory regained his breath enough to reply, “As soon as we can.” He scrubbed the tears from his eyes with the back of his hand and swallowed hard.

@theducktator

Exactly. XD Although, I’m really glad to look back at my old stories now. It’s great for a few laughs.

@ellette-giselle

You’re welcome. =D

Leo

His eyebrows rose. The church?

“Alright.” He wouldn’t question it.

“We can take an early lunch break in a few minutes. Or we can go by after work. Whichever you want.”

He’d message Liko and tell him he had to leave early. And he’d send a number over to Silvia to let her know where they’d be.

The kid…[Read more]

I have often said that the first story I “wrote” was a picture book about a fairy that looked like a banana peal. I was between 6-7 at the time, I don’t remember.

My actually “written” stories include several I wrote for school, and some I wrote just for funsies. I found a folder of them recently, and laughed till I cried.

One was about a girl…[Read more]

@koshka

GIRL!!! You’re gonna make me cry! ‘

Rory

Rory hung on to Leo, pressing his face against the older boy’s shoulder. For a time he wept, and the relief was frighteningly sweet. At last he forced out in a choked voice, “Leo, I… I want to go back to the church.”
