Well, I’m really late again. XD

I agree with you guys that this book did a good job of wrestling with theological questions that felt important to the characters and story. It also didn’t shy away from asking hard questions, and didn’t force an easy, immediate answer. I also appreciated that the “bad guys” weren’t unbelievers–or wouldn’t claim…[Read more]

@elena-may @katja-r Thanks for taking the test, I’m glad y’all found it interesting!

@elena-may Wow, that is fun. xD

@elena-may Hi and welcome!

I love English Country Dancing! It’s so much fun. I just moved but my old  homeschool community usually had a “ball” twice every year, and it is amazing! What type of places do you get to go to ECD? Do you guys dress up in regency styles for dancing?

Your favorite character from LOTR is Boromir. Wow… I have never…[Read more]

I find speech therapy fascinating! I’m really interested in Auslan (australian sign language) and I’d like to study that…[Read more]
