    I want… 3-4 kids, but only God really chooses.

    Thank you!

  • @kimlikesart

    Thank you!

  • @tal

    Hmm. so probably I misunderstood you, but it was for good πŸ˜‰

    @arindown

    Beautiful drawing!

    Hmm… In case of attack – probably by more savage desert people, or maybe by merchants who want to conquer their oases – they’ll mainly use magic. Sandstorms, fast-floods, maybe even burying whole armies under migrating dunes… Try to fight…[Read more]

    Thank you very much for your care and love! Your showed me how Christians should care for one another.

    I started studying Psalms, today I studied Psalm 3 (it’s pretty short, but I set on it almost 2 hours…). Something that came into my mind – the picture of king Saul persecuting David, is a foreshadow of Saul (of Tarsus) persecuting the Church…[Read more]

    @tal

    Oh. Now I understand how tactless and insulting I was. I’m so sorry if I insulted you or degraded your WIP in any way, I totally didn’t mean that. I ask your forgiveness.

  • @tal

    It sounds really cool! They’re like dragons, but that migrate from place to place on the wind currents, and so enable humans to use them effectively?

  • @arindown

    Northwain sounds really cool! πŸ˜€

    Thank you!

    How do I imagine the Sandwellers?… Hmm, I’ll think out loud here πŸ™‚

    They grow some sort of desert reptile – maybe a big tortoise, lizard or dinosaur – for living. They use their reptiles for food (meat and eggs, sometimes even blood), clothing (skin and maybe feathers) and fuel (dried…[Read more]

    Biology is my favorite subject too!

    Hmm, one-celled creatures are fascinating, but aren’t they somewhat disgusting when too big? πŸ˜‰

    Ffffivvve bbbookssss? Wow. Writing is definitely your calling!

  • @tal

    I really like your world!

    Cool! Can you tell us more about them?

     

    Hmm, languages! I used to be a conlanging nerd, though I used a YouTube guide. It was addicting, so I stopped when I realized I spend too much time on it… Maybe I’ll create a ”sketch language” for my setting, but no one is interested in my exotic phonology, rich…[Read more]

    • Your idea sounds really cool! Biology has been my favorite subject in school this year.
      In my world (it’s really an undiscovered island on earth) there is a very smart /not/ mad scientist. He has an army from a South or Central American country, and he uses it to keep the many indigenous tribes on the island in check.
      He is messing with the…[Read more]

        Ffffivvve bbbookssss? Wow. Writing is definitely your calling!

    • Yes, disgusting many are. (: But, they also are fascinating…and quite dangerous. Especially the hydra and viruses I use.

      I do want to write books to offset expenses in the future. I love to write! Sooo much. (: But I really want to be a wife and mother mainly. Writing will have to come second after that happens.
      How many kids do you want?

    • I don’t know what they’re called yet?

    • I really like your ideas! Can’t wait to hear what you decide on. (:

  • @arindown

    I’m so glad God uses me to encourage you!

    Hmm, music. I will try the singers you recommend!

    I once used to listen to various styles (Communist marches, Scottish ballads, Pirate songs, and a lot of Disney villain songs in every language available), but I stopped because I didn’t want secular music to go to deep into my mind. I ponder…[Read more]

    @kimlikesart

    Ooh, Arab music is very beautiful! Thank you! I’ll check them πŸ™‚

    • I have more songs from the same people if you’re interested.

      • Thank you very much for your care and love! Your showed me how Christians should care for one another.

    • Wow. I’m impressed that you are able to focus on one subject for so long. (A level of maturity few I’ve met have, if any). I should probably do that sometime. (: The things you can learn just sitting over and thinking on God’s word!
      I read Psalm 3. Four times, for about fifteen minites. It’s very good.
      I think what you took from it is really…[Read more]

      • Happy birthday!!🥳🎉🎊
        Are you 16?

        Hmm, everyone has their own gifts from God. I can study one psalm for a long time, but it”s very hard for me to not tell every stupid joke that come to my mind, or not to tell my opinion when no one asked it.

        My favorite cookies? I eat everything without questions πŸ˜€
        But my favorite are probably chocolate chips…[Read more]

    • Yes, I’m sixteen. Thank you for praying. (:

      Chocolate chips are my father’s favorite cookie too!

      I want four children. Do you have any name ideas for your kids someday?
      Have you ever really liked a name, that had an amazing meaning, but someone really bad had the same name centuries ago, and so you feel reluctant to use it? (Then again, you…[Read more]

      • Hmm… Sometimes I think about it, but for some reason I think only about boys. I love the name Yehonatan (the modern Hebrew version of Jonathan) – I really admire the faithfulness and love of the biblical Jonathan, and the name itself means ”the LORD gave” – which’s how every parent should see their children. And the name is very…[Read more]

      • By the way – I’ll read your pre-prologue and edited chapter, but I can;t do it in the next few days. Hopefully, in Friday or Saturday. But I will, with God’s help!

    • Yes!!! I love the name, Jonathan!

      The name I wasn’t sure about was Zedekiah? It means ‘The Lord Is Just’ (but you probably already knew that). He would probably go by Eddy though.

      I also like Muriel (for a boy), and Jessicca. Muriel doesn’t have a striking meaning, and ‘Murry’ could be a nick-name. But Jessicca (you might know this one as well)…[Read more]

    • Hi, would you mind letting me know what Jewish feasts/festivals are in early to mid-spring? Thanks!

      • Of course!

        Purim – roughly corresponds March. The feast celebrates the deliverance from Haman’s plan, and in Jesus’ times was celebrated by exchanging tasty food, giving gifts to the poor, and generally by having good meals and being happy. The feast is celebrated in home.

        Passover (Pesach) – roughly corresponds April. Every Israelite man must…[Read more]

    • Thank you!

    • What are your two siblings like? What are their personalities like? Do you all get along well?

      • Thanks for being interested!

        Tamir is a blond, short 11 years old boy, that loves computer & video games. He is a great joker, even though sometimes his jokes are dirty. We used to fight a lot, but now we get along excellently.

        Karin is an extremely blond, cute 5 years old girl. She loves YouTube, dolls and phone games, and beating us when…[Read more]

    • That’s good that you and Tamir get along now. (:

      Bethany and I have months where we’re fine, then everything can seem to fall apart in our relationship in one day…

      Ah, five years old? So cute! (usually). When you say β€˜beating’ you, do you mean in games or really? (I know a five-year-old likely can’t hurt you /that/ bad, but…) (:

      Who’s you…[Read more]

      • How old is Bethany? How is she?

        Usually she doesn’t beat me, but she and Tamir love to beat each other in a game.

        Hmm. I have 6 good friends in my class, and I get along with everyone, but I don’t think I have a best friend. I don’t usually talk with people about my problems, loves, hates and such.

        Who’s YOUR best friend? πŸ™‚

        Hmm… I’m pretty…[Read more]

    • Are Jews allowed to say ‘El Shaddai’? (Sorry if it’s a dumb question)

    • Bethany is eleven years old. She’s doing fine. She doesn’t like school at all, so she’s upset about homework… (: My dad put up a pool in the backyard, and she’s really excited about that (she /loves/ to swim).

      My best friend is my father. He’s the only one I talk about my ‘problems, loves, hates, and such’. For he is really the only human I…[Read more]

      • How many siblings do you have?

        Hmm, it seems that the norm among the Christians in the USA is homeschooling. Why are you and your siblings go to school? Is it a secular school?

        Homework… We almost don’t have such πŸ™‚ Unless you count preparing for tests.

        Swimming! I’ll not say I’m a huge fun of swimming, but I do swim from time to time. And I…[Read more]

    • Only Bethy. Which is fine, we both wanted a little sibling for a while but it’s been a steady no since her birth. My dad once spoke of adopting though.

      (: Yes, uh, we’re homeschooled. The public shools in the USA, for the most part, are no good place to be. (I could give a list of why). And private school is too expensive for us.

      I don’t like…[Read more]

    • ‘Insecurity’

      What do I do? What do I say?

      Do I ask about the words he said? Or what you did to cause them?

      What do you want me to ask? What do you want me to do?

      Defend you vehemently? Tell me first; What did you do?

      What did you do that caused such an event. What was it that dad couldn’t forgive you of it?

    • To say the least, followers of Jesus are by no means perfect. But, if we were, we wouldn’t need Him, would we?

      • Your poem is beautiful. Thank you for sharing! I keep praying for your parents. I don’t know what’s going on with them, but I know that they’ll have peace, love and harmony, through surrender to God.

        I’m not worried that much about my parents. Even if they’ll eventually divorce – God is my rock, not them. And He can redeem the ends of the sinful…[Read more]

      • By the way, I need some advise. I hope you can help me with your own knowledge, or maybe ask someone. I don’t want to so it publicly because, well, it has nothing to do with writing…

        My friends want to soon start a D&D campaign, and they expect me to join. I have know idea if I should join or not, because…

      • Lol. I have no idea, not know idea…

    • As to your parents, you are completely right. Though it will still hurt. ‘When my father and my mother forsake me, then the Lord will take me up.’ Psalm 27:10
      I will also pray for you. (:

    • Great job having the guts to ask your friends not to talk that way with you! That took courage. I’m forming a reply for your question (I’ve been doing that since six this morning). But, just a bit.

      • Thank you so much for praying and helping!

        Wow. In fact, it sounds too bad to be real…
        I’m more than sure that evolution, baby-murdering-for-selfish-reasons (sorry, abortions) and gay relationships are promoted. But… some things sound really weird. I have friends from NJ that learn in a public school, I’ll ask them what’s real. Even though…[Read more]

    • Alright. Dungeons and Dragons:
      I didn’t know anything about D&D except that it had dragons and dungeons until today. I’ve never been allowed to play it.
      Today I asked my father /why/ I had never been allowed to play. He gave me this article to read…

    • Sorry if I sound(ed) preachy.

      I think you likely already know what I’m about to say, but to make sure I’m going to share anyway.

    • Do you know that serving Jesus will be hard? /Very/ /VERY/ hard? Do you know that we will be treated as He was treated?
      Spat upon, reviled, and rejected?
      The servant is not greater than his Master, we shall be treated as He was treated. Loving, and obeying Jesus Christ could cost you and I everything.
      But we will by no means be alone in the…[Read more]

    • The lyrics are beautiful! Thank you for sharing them with me. (:

      Sorry if I was too strong on all the D&D stuff. I get what you’re saying about wanting to be a good friend, and not wanting to offend them by refusing to play the game. Can you let me know what you decide?

      • Thank you /so/ much for helping! God definitely used you to save me from a future sin. Some of the points are somewhat exaggerated (I know many people who play it, none of them is involved with Satanism and witchcraft, and I’m pretty sure they’re not addicted), but the final line is that D&D doesn’t promote any helpful, godly values or message,…[Read more]

    • Thank you to Eitan. You have encouraged me with your faith, and willingness to ask questions. Then yet more your readiness to change when you find that somthing isn’t right.

      What is the coolest thing you’ve made in robotics class?

      • I’m glad God uses me to glorify his name!

        Hmm, we had the national championship in February. We didn’t achieve a lot, but it was very fun!

      • I studied yesterday Psalm 12, that was probably written when David was serving in Saul’s court as a general, and he was alone and without any godly people around him. I imagined how glad and thankful he was for Jonathan then…

      • I use David Guzik’s ”Enduring Word” commentary, because there will be always things I will not recognize in the text, he believes the psalm was written this time – but, how we say it in Hebrew, it’s not a Torah from mount Sinai πŸ˜‰

    Thank you so much Gracie! I’m so glad God used it to encourage other believers.

    Hmm, it’s likely that my poetry is inspired, consciously or not, from the book of Psalms. The poem contains a few clear references (Psalm 22:1, and Psalm 23:1), but maybe the whole style is inspired by the book. I don’t know, but it’s cool if it is! πŸ™‚

  • @dakota

    Beautiful! I love the words. The rhyme sometimes seem strange, and I lacked the meter, but it’s still beautiful, and not every poem have to contain rhyme or meter after all πŸ˜‰
