I work at Chick-fil-A, as a shift leader, so I’m in the front doing a variety of things from taking orders and serving food to bagging orders and helping to run the shift and solve issues that pop up!

Ok, so you’re still at least a few hours from Lakeside. It seems to be a pretty popular base, at least among people I know. I…[Read more]

@savannah_grace2009

Yep, food service is my only job right now! And I’m still living with my family! I had thought briefly about moving out, but then realized this might be one of the last years that my whole family is together under one roof, since my youngest brother will be graduating high school and the likelihood of some of us kids moving…[Read more]

@savannah_grace2009

That’s so cool! Do you think you’ll do missions full time, or was it more of just a good experience that taught you a lot? Do you know what you want to do now that you’re home?

I don’t think I’ll do missions full time (I mean if God asks me to then who am I to say no? But I haven’t sensed Him asking me that to this point…[Read more]

@savannah_grace2009

Lol it doesn’t even feel like I dropped off the face of the earth because I’ve haunted the background now and then, but I really did just kinda disappear! I don’t remember when the last was that I talked to you so hopefully I’m not telling you something you already knew… but if I do, oh well.

I think I had posted a year and…[Read more]

And the most recently added scene, which finally came together… I don’t really know if this is the end of the story yet or not, but I’d love your thoughts on this scene!

I was mending a skirt one warm May afternoon when the sound of a wagon approaching drew my attention. Mama peered out the window, flour still coating her hands, and looked…[Read more]

Secondly… this is a new scene I wrote over the past few weeks, from the time of the end of the journey to Nebraska.

As we drew nearer to the land we would settle, the boys found a new favorite pastime: chasing prairie dogs. They would find several holes near each other, and wait quietly in the grass. One of them, often Albert, would poke a…[Read more]

@savannah_grace2009 @hybridlore

Ok I literally haven’t posted on here in two years, lol. I don’t even know how active y’all are on KP anymore… I’ve kind of popped in and out and read some posts here and there. But I was working on this story again tonight and thought I should add a couple scenes I’ve done more recently. I don’t even know how…[Read more]

@esther-c

I’m late to the party here, but I’d suggest maybe looking up blogs by people who travel and write about their experiences in other countries. You’d probably be able to get a peek into the culture of Africa through the eyes of an outsider that way. As Koshka mentioned, African culture can be vastly different depending on which part of…[Read more]

@janellebelovedpig

Pardon the late answer, I haven’t been on here in a while!

I don’t really have a good answer; I use the free version of WordPress, which does still have some ads, I think, but I honestly haven’t noticed them, and if they pop up, they’re usually at the bottom of the page.

@elishavet-pidyon

I have a friend who is in an art school right now and it’s been really interesting talking to her, because all of her art pieces have literally been inspired by dreams or other ideas God has given to her, and they all have some sort of revelation or message in them, and she’s been able to have a lot of good conversations with…[Read more]

Quote dump:

“You’re really sweet, like a strawberry. Like the juice of a strawberry.” (overheard from one coworker to another)

“You want to know what I really want to do? I want to hide in that empty tomb on the stage at church and pop out at the end of the service to surprise everybody.” (my 30-year-old cousin)

“I wish I could lick my gloves.”…[Read more]

@liberty

I love that idea! My brothers and I are a little older now and our schedules look different, so we’re not always home every night, but on the nights when we do have the whole family around the table, I value those conversations. I think we would really benefit from being more intentional in talking about our days and what’s going on in…[Read more]

@liberty

The 2-minute dinner talks? What are those? That sounds interesting already…

@whalekeeper

If your outside social group is healthy and available, you’re less likely to get attached to the online social group. It’s as simple as that. I believe many phone addictions are a response to that need.

That is truth right there… the lack of healthy community can very easily lead to any type of addiction. I was reading a book abo…[Read more]

@jonas

Good to see you popping back in here again!

I just took the survey! This is something I’ve been thinking about a lot lately. If anyone is open to discussion, I’d be curious to hear your thoughts!

For those of you who do have phones, what boundaries have you set/have your parents established around it? Or perhaps, what boundaries do you…[Read more]

Ok, I wasn’t gonna get into this conversation, but now here I am, lol.

I’d be careful about pulling out specific verses without carefully examining the context of the rest of the passage… but if you want to look at specific verses then I’d suggest looking at other verses that also talk about being saved.

“…From the beginning God chose you to…[Read more]

@the_lost-journal

Busy, busy, busy! People are always busy!… I say we need a whole WEEK where we just have to sit down! I say that people need a time to think! Pray! Relive their day! Always busy, busy, busy!

Yeah I’ve been learning how to intentionally slow down… a lot of it just has to do with how I spend my free time and eliminating u…[Read more]

@the_lost-journal

Hello! We have not talked in a while! how are things?!

Things are going really well! (Aside from being a little busy!)

Okay! I understand! So you are saying not to dwell on it? I wish I could take that advice… :[

Yeah, I mean once you’ve repented and been forgiven, the Bible says that as far as the east is from the west, so far h…[Read more]

What are your thoughts on Jesus having siblings?

I think He had siblings. Joseph did take Mary as his wife (Matthew 1:24-25), so it’s natural to assume they had children together. Matthew 12:46-47 talks about Jesus’ mother and brothers wanting to talk to Him. Matthew 13:55 also indicates that He has at least three brothers and several…[Read more]

@theducktator @whalekeeper

Wasn’t someone going to try emailing some people who might be in charge/know how to reach whoever’s running KP? Do we know if that got through at all?
