@seekjustice Sounds great!  I’ll have to see if I can get the chance to read it.

I haven’t read any of Amy Carmichael’s books in a while, but I absolutely loved Mimosa!

Well, I think if I read it now I might have a different impression than I had when I was younger. 😉

Haha! 😀  I?  Old fashioned?  Why on earth would you say that? 😛 But yea…[Read more]

@seekjustice I haven’t been doing a whole lot of reading lately, and haven’t read many of the newest ones we have gotten, but I do believe I’ve seen that one among the collection.  You say it’s good?

Ah, that’s sort of how I feel about Amy Carmichael.  Have you read any of her books?

It has been forever since I read it, and my eleven-year-old p…[Read more]

@seekjustice We get the two or three new ones each year, keeping our collection up to date.  However, I believe there were a couple we deliberately didn’t buy because we already had multiple biographies of the person.

Yes, I’ve read those. 🙂  Actually, I think Betty Green was my least favorite of the women biographies. 😛  A few of the ones I li…[Read more]

@seekjustice So do we.  I think we have almost the entire collection, actually.  That and Henty’s books form the largest sets of books in our library.  Which YWAM book is your favorite?

@seekjustice Nice.  Those books are great.

@valtmy I did grant you access to the document, but I don’t see you there.  I hope you got it. 😉

@catwing I guess it wasn’t. 😛  They just jumped right over it.

Goodnight!

@catwing Hope for the best. 😛  Our sheep never cared for the electric fence, but knocked it down quite often.  Our pygmy goat babies lived inside a six foot tall chicken wire fence, but escaped probably twice a day.  (so did the mamas.)

In other words, Good luck! 😉

@seekjustice Cool.  Is it by YWAM?

@valtmy Ok, I found something! 😀

It’s something I’ve been planning to polish up for a while, but keep putting aside.

So, several years ago I wrote a serial story for a “newspaper” my family did just among ourselves (we read the two pages or so every evening together) and I really like the ideas and everything, in fact, it kept my family…[Read more]

@catwing Have you ever had goats before?  Do your goats like to escape their pen?(Have you heard the saying, “if you can throw water through it, a goat can get through it?”)

I imagine it would be helpful. 😛

Ah, I see.  I hope it goes smoothly.

@valtmy How long do you have?  Do you want something to read to alleviate your boredom? (No pr…[Read more]

@valtmy Ah, I messed up your tag and you still saw the post! 😀 Hello again.  Working on anything in particular?

@seekjustice Hey, I’m back!  Are you still doing nothing? 😉

@catwing Is it because you are a cheshire catwing that you keep disappearing and appearing? 😛

@valtny Are you still here?

@seekjustice I’m down for that. 😀  Just make sure when you move here you move near us, ok? 😛

@valtmy I disappear all the time, though in my case it’s usually “when sleep comes, it comes.” 😉  Are you here now?

@catwing

I’m going to disappear for about a half hour or hour because I’m running an errand with my mom.  So, I’ll let you all know wh…[Read more]

@seekjustice Haha! 😛  It’s just a symbol now, I suppose.  It still hangs in its original glass case in Washington’s front foyer/hallway/whatever-it’s-called. 😛  It was really cool to see it, but unfortunately, we weren’t allowed to take pictures inside the building. 🙁

By the length of your list, won’t you have to stay in America for nearly a…[Read more]

Oh, by the way, @catwing, @seekjustice, I’m on now. 😉

@seekjustice Guess what?  Today we went to tour Mount Vernon, the home of George Washington, and there was the actual key to the Bastille!!!  Did you know it was there?  Apparently Lafayette sent it to Washington after the storming of the Bastille at the start of the French Revolution, saying it was “the symbol of liberty to the father of li…[Read more]

@catwing I’m not sure. 😉

Farewell!

@seekjustice Why thank you!  I love it when I make good arguments, 😛

True romance shall live on!

@jenwriter17 @alia @valtmy I am going to be leaving now,  Goodnight everyone!

@catwing I don’t know if Snow White was love at first sight, like at first sight, or flirtation at first sight.  It could have been any of the above. 😛  But they did like each other very much, and she sent a dove to give him a kiss, so I don’t think it too weird that he kissed her to wake her up later.

@seekjustice I count “first sight” as first conversation or so.  You can tell millions about a person’s personality from the way they dress, stand, and walk, and you can tell some about their beliefs and morals from the location you find them.

…honestly, if a guy came up to me and sang me a song like Phillip and Florian did, I’d have a pretty…[Read more]

@seekjustice I dislike Disney because most of their films revolve around magic, showing magic on the “good side” and getting kids to believe there is such a thing as good magic.  For that reason, Snow White is my favorite Disney princess film, because it shows magic as completely evil, and none on the good side.

As for Mulan, I usually run,…[Read more]

@alia I think people nowadays (including myself) are too worried about finding the “perfect” match to ever be willing to chance love at first sight.  I think it used to happen a lot more than it does now, because people were willing to take risks and know they could love each other in spite of faults, rather than needing someone without faults…[Read more]
