Ah yes, I can see why you are asking that. We are taught both that we should confess both big and little sins. (Which we call Mortal and Venial sins) but if you have Eucharist with venial sins on your soul all those venial sins are forgiven.

Good to know, thanks!

Yeah, that was a lot so I am unsure what to respond to first 😅 when…

That’s a lot of note cards. That does look convenient though, having those dividers and everything stored vertically.

@ellette-giselle

Thanks!

wait… your hand cramps from writing? Mine never did that. I thought it was a myth.

I have a bad habit of gripping and pressing on things to far. Since I’ve done so much drawing, and have trained myself to do lighter strokes there, it’s not an issue, but I need to train myself to do it with writing as well.

@ellette-giselle

Hmm… That is a good point about Elsa’s powers. As far as we can tell once she learns to control her powers, she just seems to will things to happen.

I think I do want to stick with the idea for Alan having visions of magic capturing him. I think this adds a thematic element that will make Alan’s struggle more real without…[Read more]

My progress today. I wrote down on sticky notes everything I knew so far about the plot.

Pink notes are what I already had planned from Alan’s perspective when I started this. Green is Martha’s Perspective. The blue and yellow at the top are some alternative ideas I had for the beginning. All the…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle @whalekeeper

Yes, I have seen Frozen, and I think I know what you are getting at. Elsa, like Alan, worries about her powers and hurting others with them but needs to learn not to push others away. If you go back to when you were asking us which characters are like our own, Whaley, you will notice Elsa was one of the characters…[Read more]

I’m sorry, there are just too many uses for Disney Princess quotes. I want to watch Tangled again, just to remember all of Flynn Rider’s lines. My quote arsenal is running low.

@keilah-h

Thank you!! 😊

@theducktator

Thanks!

Ummm… sort of??? I mean, I based it loosely off of my relationship with my older brother—we tend to get along for the most part and rarely, if ever, actually fight. Of course we do goof off, but half of what we goof off about would look so weird in a book. XDD

I know what you mean though, and I d…[Read more]

He’s not a believer but seems to be asking the right questions recently

That’s a good sign. :-]

Is he older or younger than you?

He is a year younger than me, but you wouldn’t know it by looking at us. He is heavier (due to exercise and being a ravenous teenage boy), and he’s in a wheelchair, so it’s hard to guess who is taller.

@ellette-giselle

My brother loses his steam over many inconsequential details.

Me: 🎵 It’s funny how some distance makes everything seem smaaaaaalll 🎵

@ellette-giselle

have you ever seen Frozen?

✨ Let it gooOooOoOOoooOo  ✨ *Throws back my hair dramatically* I sing that song whenever my siblings are unnecessarily argumentative.

@linus-smallprint

Do you ever have that problem?

Oh yeah, all the time. I’d say to write it down anyway, because there is always some reason why you had the idea in the first place.

Every idea has a nugget of interest behind it, and if you feel some appeal despite knowing it won’t work, write it down. Then think about why it appealed to you…[Read more]

Hi Kefa (just realized I haven’t said anything on your WIP page yet, still need to do that)

What are your thoughts on catholic reconciliation? (For those who don’t know, reconciliation is where catholics go (supposed to be at least every month) to confess their sins. And then they are forgiven for them.) And what questions do y…

@hybridlore thank you!!

@keilah-h

I’ll be praying for him as well!

heyo! Just wanted to come back here and ask for some prayer for my uncle. He’s been having some really bad internal issues and is in a lot of pain.

He’s not a believer but seems to be asking the right questions recently, so prayer for both his physical condition and his spiritual search would be appreciated!

@ellette-giselle

Awesome, good to know. I think I do mention very vaguely later that they won the game, but you’re right, I don’t think any reader will make the connection.

So, that was my bad 😅 You’ve read all the chapters I’ve posted. For some reason, my brain didn’t make the connection that you had read them all because I read this:

@whalekeeper

(I just realized I try to match the other person’s tone, that person being you)

so, like, really chill about most stuff and puts an “lol” at virtually everything?

I’m a very “tell it like it is” kind of person, and I also don’t like getting into confrontations online or even something that resembles a confrontation, so I try to be l…[Read more]

@esther-c wow, that’s a nice beginning!
