@trailblazer    @freed_and_redeemed     @keilah-h,

now you gotta put a chili pepper in a random scene somewhere as a joke.
Also I agree with keilah-h, that would be really funny!

Maybe he gives her one!!

That would be hilarious!

@raxforge @rae @trailblazer lollll

He’s not like too into the slang stuff but he’ll joke about it sometimes.

@trailblazer

Good ideas!!! I will probably use those in future scenes…thank you so much!!!

@trailblazer

Lol, same

@trailblazer

It needs to be lies that affect the way you think…but shorter. Like “you are nothing” will have more impact than “you are ugly/not beautiful” will…

I’m not really sure how to explain it, but I’m looking for short lies, not so much longer insults.

But the one thing that does frustrate me sometimes is using colored lights and fog and other “special effects”- like what good purpose does that serve? It usually ends up being more distracting to me.

You aren’t the only one. Our very traditional church had another pastor visit as a parishioner on his day off. He said he was tired of…[Read more]

@trailblazer

That actually sounds really familiar concerning what happened with those two.

@trailblazer

TYSM for replying! I noticed sooooo many typos 😭.

But any way!

Wow, that is a lot! Do you go to a mega church? I assume that because you talk about lasers and fog and such.

probably the biggest thing is what some of us were discussing above, regarding whether or not spiritual gifts are still active in the church…

@trailblazer

if you could ever go with them, I suggest you go! (Or on your own time)

It is a lot of fun.

*takes a deep breath* @trailblazer @whalekeeper @freed_and_redeemed @power

I don’t really have much time to type out a summary of my beliefs regarding the gifts of the Holy Spirit. However, I did find a good article on the Gift of Tongues:

It’s kind of longish. I’ll probably pop back here…[Read more]

@trailblazer   @stephie

Yeah, I get what you both are saying. I feel like church should be a place where you gather with your family (brothers and sisters in Christ) and if church is leaving you wanting more….. I don’t know. For some reason that feels wrong to me. Maybe not. Maybe I’m just so used to my church that it’s hard to see things d…[Read more]

My church rarely has over a hundred people at each mass. We usually have a coffee hour after. I know that, at a lot of other churches I’ve been to, coffee hour is kind of…boring. But there’s always something entertaining going on. There’s always hot chocolate for the kids, and there is NEVER a time that goes by…[Read more]

I have never heard of it, but I was shocked when I saw that your pastor was thrown in prison… – Kefa

Yes. We shut down our church for the first few months, but then our pastor went, ‘No. This is wrong. The church needs to meet.’ so we opened it back up. We got the attention of the government an…[Read more]

I totally agree with both of you about the race thing they’re teaching in schools. I honestly think we were fine where we are today. I never say black people looked down on in America in my lifetime. But now they’re just stirring up old quarrels. And, if the white people are the badguys and need to build up black people, t…[Read more]

@trailblazer

I love that story idea! It sounds super interesting, and I would totally pick it up. Elishavet had some great advice. Let’s see… what do I do for character arcs?

Honestly, it takes a while for these things to come together in my writing. I don’t sit down to write for the first time and already know all the details of my plot and c…[Read more]
