Good section! And I like the boards. I’m interested to see what will happen now that they’re in the city again.
Two things:
The first thing that I noticed was… I forgot who William was. I thought he might be one of Amelia’s brothers 🫣, but I wasn’t sure. I think, with the amount of characters we have, especially the ones we’v…[Read more]

Yes, I agree with you on that. Talking about living with Jesus and trying to be more like Him brings a certain book to mind. I read it this year because of a certain theme going on in my life. This little book is all about living in the world while practicing the presence of God. It’s called “Practicing the Presence of God” by Broth…

Heyyyy I missed this topic’s beginning while I was gone, but I’m glad I found out about it now! It was quite interesting reading through everything, and now I have so many thoughts I don’t know what to do with them lol!
I do have one thought for you, though. I’m not gonna repeat everything the others were saying, but my one suggestion…[Read more]

Love this movement, protect Adolin! I’m on the final stretch of Rhythm, and I’m not worried about it, but you really never know with Sanderson, he’s really good at things like that. He’s killed favorite characters before, but it’s generally still fulfilling when he does, like with LightSong.

It doesn’t make sense really, after all these people are the ones facing hardships daily, wouldn’t it make the most sense to turn on whatever religion and god they believe in?
Very true, this is something we see repeatedly. Those who go through the worst in life often end up being the most drawn towards God. Part of it is because the…[Read more]

We all loved the Little House books, and we had a bunch of settler costumes we’d wear. One of the only ways my mom could get us to clean the house was to pretend to be Ma, and then I’d be Mary, and my sister would be Laura, and when the youngest was old enough to play she was Carrie. We’d have SO much fun cleaning, you wouldn’t believe…

I’m tryna remember, lol… Um… We normally do with Thanksgiving since we have turkey, but on Christmas we only serve ham, so I don’t think we eat stuffing too. I might be remember wrong though. There’s a couple side dishes that change every year.

Esther replied to the topic Do you celebrate Christmas? in the forum Mission, Calling & Ethics 1 year, 4 months ago
Yeah, we normally have a more traditional dinner too (ham, green beans, mac ‘n’ cheese, potatoes, etc.). Dad likes to switch things up every now and then, but his side of the family (the one we normally celebrate Christmas with), likes to stick to the traditional meal. 😉
Ohhh, ok, that makes more sense now. I can totally see that bei…[Read more]

Also congrats to Esther! I can’t wait to read her short story!!! I love Christmas stories! Who knows, maybe I will even read to my younger siblings!
(I still need to read 😅)
Aw, thanks!! 🤗 No rush at all! (If you don’t find time to read it, I will not be offended at all. :))

You know you’re a writer when you are playing family, and you are the long lost cousin from Australia who was in jail for arson and wants to burn down the White House.
Me and my brother have two friends who are Australian and for some reason I can imagine one of them actually doing that. 🤣

Oh no! That’s really hard. My dad quit his job some years back because it was too stressful and not a good job to keep. He was without a full-time job for nine months. But the whole time God provided for us in so many different ways! God will get you guys through this. I promise. 🫂 Praying for y’all! 🩷

Oh! Another tradition our family has is reading through an Advent devotional throughout the month of December. 🥰

Random side note because I did recently find this out. Easter is mentioned in the KJV Bible (Acts 12:4), but it was an incorrect/imperfect translation. Most other translations use Passover.
Huh, interesting… I just looked that up in KJV and ESV and you’re right. 🤔 I’ve never noticed that before!
That’s awesome. A lot of people I know ea…

Trailblazer replied to the topic Do you celebrate Christmas? in the forum Mission, Calling & Ethics 1 year, 4 months ago
My blunt and honest opinion? I think Christians who choose not to celebrate Christmas are living from a place of religion and not relationship with God, where it has become more about what you do and don’t do than truly living with Jesus. That’s a blanket statement, and I’m sure it doesn’t apply to everyone- if God has genuinely…[Read more]
