No, we were pretty shabby ourselves. For some reason I was wearing ridiculously baggy sweatpants and a sweater, and well….it’s kinda embarrassing now. But if was fun.

I totally understand the filters thing. Do you use IMovie?

@joelle-stone @emily-Waldorf

Yeah, I really enjoy my siblings. We never had anything too intense with teasing, but it’s safe to say I never was treated like your typical youngest. So yeah.

That’s awesome Joelle! I had a 65k word book I almost finished but really wasn’t satisfied with where it was going, and felt like it had lost its purpo…[Read more]

@joelle-stone

Yep. Hard life for us youngests. What’s worse is we get stereotyped as babies, because of a few…well I’ll face it, many bad, and bratty youngests. Endless teasing. Yep. But it’s all good. Alls well that ends well

@denali-Christianson

Yeah, holy cross abbey is a wonder to see. It’s very beautiful. Plus there’s like an abandoned track/football field directly across from Worldviews dorm, so there’s gonna be plenty for you to explore.

Thats cool! I think me and my sister tried to make one about Martin Luther when we lived near the abbey. It ended up just…[Read more]

@denali-Christianson

Thats cool! What kind of films did you make?

If you’re going to Worldview at the Abbey tho,  (I think you said in two years) It is a marvelous place to film. And with the other students there, I’m sure you’ll find more than enough willing actors!

@joelle-stone

I feel that. I have six siblings but I’m the youngest…[Read more]

@allertingthbs

Exactly. No Order 66s. 😂.

@emily-Waldorf

Wonderfully put! I agree. I would highly recommend David Clotfelters Sinners In the Hands of a Good God. Excellent book. I know I already mentioned it, but again, it’s just that good. If you can, read it.

@allertingthbs

I honestly don’t know. Haven’t thought about it honestly. I think the main point, which I think we both agree on, is that if you’re trying to write something allegorical or purposefully to portray something theological, make God the hero. Make him the savior. You can’t go wrong there.

Also, same. I need to sleep on these things…[Read more]

@allertingthbs

I would say, no. Our salvation does not depend totally on our acceptance of his sacrifice. It depends on whether God enables us to be able to accept it. Psalm 53 is clear that no one seeks God. Romans 3:23 echoes this. How can we presume that we can choose God when we can’t even seek him?

I agree that we must accept God but we c…[Read more]

@allertingthbs

That’s interesting! What did you think of the denominations that you moved around to and from?

@alertingthbs

No sorry, what I meant is that if God is not sovereign in salvation, salvation doesn’t happen. My belief is that God must change our desires. He chooses us according to his great purpose(Ephesians 1)

No I am firmly a Calvinist, and I believe those that attribute salvation  to humans choosing God are making salvation dependent on th…[Read more]

@emily-Waldorf

While there is a definite truth in what you say, Calvinism and Arminianism are irreconcilable in their truest sense. Predestination and free will aren’t as much, but there is still a wide chasm. While there is a definite sense that God will not drag someone kicking and screaming into the kingdom against ‘their will’ our will is ho…[Read more]

@denali-Christianson

Me and my siblings have made a plethora of home movies, that are basically us doing one of the Narnia movies or LOTR, or something. But your kind of filmmaking sounds much more professional

@alertingthbs

Yeah, I totally understand the use of Frodo. I guess I understood the questions as relating to history and life, and not so much as a writer or author. Definitely in stories you can create innocent characters for a certain purpose. But in real life, no, no one is innocent(Romans 3:23)

Positionally, those in Christ are Seen by the…[Read more]

@denali-Christianson

im glad you resurrected it! I kinda want to hear yours and @obrian-of-the-surface-worlds opinions on the Predestination/freewill argument before I go, cause I may or may not have a very very long paragraph on it. Regarding that topic tho I think David Clotfelters Sinners in the Hands of a Good God makes a remarkable argument…[Read more]

@denali-Christianson @joelle-stone @rebekah12

I totally understand that all. I was honestly thinking like waaayyy down the road. Using SE is just fine for now

@joelle-stone

It sounds so bad, saying they never made it. Makes me feel like we’re talking about people that died🤣

@joelle-stone

business email? Sounds fancy. I didn’t know you had a business!

@denali-Christianson @joelle-stone @rebekah12

And nothing is rushed. It could just be something maybe like a zoom call, that you could Join anonymously, just by sending a link or something. But don’t think I’m stressing it. We’re all very busy. Maybe just have a confe…[Read more]

@rebekah12 @joelle-stone @denali-Christianson

Well we are four now. But it would be cool if we could have a conference sometime. I know for obvious reasons we don’t share email or numbers or stuff, but maybe one day we’ll sort something out

@denali-Christianson

so are you still ice-skating? Aren’t you gonna try to be an Olympian?

Sorry, that’s random, just a memory that came back thinking of the Flabbit room.

Ill start the hashtag. #ONWARDDFLABBITEERS

@denali-Christianson

@joelle-stone

Yes. We three. We few. We band of champions. Gone are the days of many Flabiteers.
Perhaps one day all the members of the Flabbit room, or some can have a conference, and make a grand writing club
