@MichaelFKane I don't even know who Arthur is yet. Been enjoying it.

@BrielleAndela It's pretty late in the story!
I made sure I cut the quote off before it contained spoilers. 🫡

Twenty kilometers, Arthur thought. Twenty short kilometers. At the speed they were traveling, it would only take a few minutes.
Twenty kilometers to find out if the life he had lived would kill thousands and disrupt the lives of millions...
Yup. Prodigal is still my favorite After Moses novel.

@TheMiddleborne I don't understand it, but God who made all these people must be more interested in them than I am.
(The history version of feeling heartbreak over loved ones who don't know God, but knowing God loves them more than I do.)
English
Do I know how God judged the nations before they came to Christ?
Absolutely not. He didn’t tell me and didn’t seem to think He needed to put it in His word.
What I do know is that God is Holy, God is Love, God is Just, God is Merciful.
None who are or will be in Hell are there by accident. None who are in Heaven are there outside of the salvation from Christ.

Christ’s sheep know His voice and follow Him.
To the rest, Jesus says “Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.”

What do we do with our ancient ancestors who were born inside brutal religious worlds, where blood sacrifice was assumed to be how reality worked? Would I personally condemn them to hell to experience torture without end:

@Strangeland_Elf I suspect news people in Australia do use King Charles' titles as he is our king too, but regular people don't. That would be silly in a normal conversation.
English
Almost no one calls him that, what are you talking about? Especially not when referring to him in 3rd person. It’s “Trump” or people on the news say “President Trump”. “Manners” is referring to him as “King Charles” and now “Old Chuck” or something.

@Strangeland_Elf The same reason people address Trump as Mr President even when he isn’t their president …manners.

@StarsJill26 @Strangeland_Elf Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother didn't have a number as she wasn't a reigning queen. Elizabeth I was queen in the 1500s, daughter of Henry VIII. If is confusing.
English
@Strangeland_Elf I always considered Queen Elizabeth I as the "Queen Mother", and the second as either "Queen Elizabeth" or "The Queen". But I'm an American and probably don't know what the hell I'm talking about - I barely understand the whole royal family thing really.
English
“Queen Elizabeth” is generally what American referred to her as, “Queen Elizabeth the Second” if differentiation from Elizabeth I was necessary. Or just “the Queen” since her long reign made her so familiar to everyone.
Auntie Yaga@getty_a96716
@Strangeland_Elf Did we ever actually call her “Queen Elizabeth the second”? Other than in very formal settings I always heard just “Queen Elizabeth”. Which I concisely remember, since my mother named me after her and Ms Taylor.

@Jeremyakee I had s long distance relationship which started long distance, then when we finally met I figured out that I wasn't all that attracted to him.
My brother met a girl online and married her s year later and they're very happy, but there's been many flights across the Pacific.
English
What are everyone's thoughts on a long distance relationship?
- Have you participated in one?
- How easy or difficult was it for you?
- Did it start LDR or did it become LDR at some point?
- How great was the distance?
- How old were you when you were in it?
- Anything else?

I got my wedding dress for $100 from a consignment store.

I bought a couture wedding dress at a sample sale for 80% off. I love a good deal.

@AbigailFalanga Admittedly, I read more long series when I had KU, but it's much more likely if I get hooked before the series grows. (I was a H. L Burke fan before she wrote any of her ~30 interconnected superhero books.)

@BrielleAndela Yeah... Not sure if I really want to spend years of my life on that! 😅

I bought two spools of this ribbon (because I lost the first one) and, despite intial appearance, they are not the same. One is made in USA/Mexico, the other in China. The Chinese one has slightly finer weave.

I want to put some kind of long term building project, like a cathedral, in the background of my novels. Something the previous generation started, that's not yet finished.

@MapEffects My church history subject had a few maps, but more is better.
English
@BrielleAndela Thanks Bri! Glad you’re liking how it’s coming along.
English
I wasn’t planning on making this map… but alas.
I’ve been working through a church history study at my church, and honestly, maps would be helpful. A normal person would just find one online… but 😂
The goal here is to show the five patriarchs (the Pentarchy), the cities where the seven ecumenical councils were held, and a few other key centers in the early church like Ephesus and Corinth.
I still need to land on a title. I’m also not set on an exact date yet, other than placing it before the 1054 split between East and West.
Would love to hear your thoughts.
English
@Strangeland_Elf Don't like it, could make it myself.
Actually I should post pictures of my white dress.

@AbigailFalanga I can often hear the voice of the person who sung the song. I've even sometimes heard a song and ended up with a different rendition that I'm more familiar with playing in my head.
English

As usual with my hyperphantasia.
Depending on the song, of course. Like, right now I have the theme song of the last podcast I listened to looping in my head, which is kind of annoying. Selecting a different mental track would require effort and might not have the same quality.

I wish I could travel dressed up, but driving a car is more difficult that riding in a carriage.

@MJPiazza2 Weird.
I could actually take issue with Ohio, for stealing my brother, but he's happy and I like my sister in law.
English
@BrielleAndela He’s from Kentucky and apparently everyone from that region hates Ohio
English
Actually what you do is you pick one state (if you're American) and/or one country and direct all your hatred towards the concept of that place rather than any individual person. I hate the concept of Kansas, Fiance hates the concept of Ohio, & we both hate the concept of Fr*nce

A great way to improve your mental health is to develop a pathological hatred of a public figure you've never met and interpret everything they do as a direct and personal attack on you and your identity.
