@rae yeah. Also, i taught myself how to read, so the exeperience of someone teaching you in unfamiliar to me.

(The tutoring was more for math and general thinking skills. He calls it “brain training.” But he has a lot of books in his office on the subject of how to properly teach reading, since many school curriculums don’t quite hit the mark,…[Read more]

@rae

I vaguely remember that. This new scene is really cute; although it might be a little confusing for casual readers. As a person who knows a lot about phonemes and stuff cause of my very meticulous tutor, I get it, but I don’t know if all the letter sounds and stuff will confuse people.

@theducktator thanks!!

@keilah-h @hybridlore

Thanks! He made it there safely, and he flies back Saturday.

@linus-smallprint

What is up with KP? I haven’t gotten any notifs.

No. You’re fine to keep it in. Instead of feeling like it something I needed to get over for the next part, this felt more like setting the stage for the climax.

Okay, that makes sense.

Do you ever get your dad to look over these sermon/speeches?

My dad actually hasn’t r…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle ohhh, I understand now.

(I cringe when y’all say sermon because I’m a woman and I wrote it. But I guess Julian is a guy. 🤣)

Just cause you’re a woman doesn’t mean you can’t write impactful things.

Like yeah, the Bible specifically says that only men should be pastors cause it mirrors them being fathers and heads of hou…[Read more]

@whalekeeper lollllll yes

@theducktator oh that’s interesting, my dad is going on a plane trip tomorrow too! Not that early though.

I’ll be praying for both of them.

@theducktator

Praying!!!

@the_potato-reporter add as many characters as you can keep track of. There’s not really a limit, just don’t go too overboard.

NEXT SECTION!!!

It was late into the evening before the meeting finally broke up. Julian’s words had shaken the little church, and they were ready and open to hear more. As Leon and Julian took turns speaking to them and en…

@keilah-h    @linus-smallprint    @hybridlore

Okay, here’s a question for y’all.

So, I personally really like Julian’s speech/sermon, whatever it is. (I cringe when y’all say sermon because I’m a woman and I wrote it. But I guess Julian is a guy. 🤣) Anyhow, I really like some of the themes it hits, I like the flow. Basically, I perso…[Read more]

@keilah-h

Well, first off, this is Julian we’re talking about. Leon had more understanding for them. Second, this is really their first time going through something like this. The last time was in Ardenta, and Ardentans have a certain brute stubbornness and willingness to just hang on that a lot of other cultures don’t. (That’s part of why…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint

I don’t know who fell apart worse, them or the church in Clonabay.

Julian’s sermon is fine, but I think he needs to remind them more of what they are fighting for. What the reward in heavan will be.

mkay, that works. I’ll try to pull some of that in.

Have these three actually been participating in idol worship, or is J…

@hybridlore

Hmm, the problem is, I’m trying not to drag things like “greek” and “hebrew” in because that muddies the world a bit because it is technically an alternate reality.

Well, it’s a bit of a chopped up version (due to space. Who made the rule of 100 characters anyways?!) But it’s a Chesterton quote that reads,

My dad is flying tomorrow morning, (at like 4 something) and then home on Saturday. There have been quite a few airplane accidents recently, so prayers for his safety please!
