True. Some of the women at my youth group were talking about how they made lists and stuff of what they’d like their future husbands to be like when they were my age, and how the men they eventually married matched their lists almost perfectly – down to appearance.

In regard to the whole love at first sight, i think Brian, you hit the nail on the head. Biblically incorrect, logically stupid, it is a notion designed to fool people, especially younger ones, including myself. I think of when Paul tells Timothy, “Flee from youthful lusts,” which in part could be grouped with ‘love at first sight…

I checked out your blog – it’s pretty swag! Count on me hangin’ around. If you’re interested, here’s a link to mine. 🙂 I just started so it isn’t especially good or complete.
I think more young people need to talk with grandparents that have had a marriage lasting decades to learn what truly makes it work.
Ooh, good…[Read more]

Absolutely, you are more than welcome to “hang around”! The more the merrier! I just subscribed to your blog too! I haven’t gotten around to putting a newsletter together yet, so that will most likely come later, as soon as I get These Books published. I do have the first two scenes of my prologue to these novels in a Topic challenge I started…[Read more]

Sry to intrude in your conversation, but OH MY WORD THIS ONE THING REALLY CAUGHT MY EYE:
Anyway, one of the things that really kills it for me is if they just completely skip the friendship stage. It just kinda feels unrealistic to me XD I’m not saying it can’t be done well, but I like seeing them slowly start to respect and…

*bowls you over with hug* Of course you can join! Welcome!
Ooh, good idea.*considers* I gotta say I love the serious, warrior-type sad guys in books and movies. They’re quiet (which is so not me), calm (not me either), and generally have a backstory that makes your heart ache (also not me).
Secondly… hrm. I really like…[Read more]

Aleck
When a knock sounded on the door of Aleck’s large home, he’d been mildly curious. When he’d opened the door to reveal two officers in uniform standing outside, he’d been confused. When they had asked a few questions of his father, then ordered him to grab his necessities, he’d been alarmed. When they had escorted him to a hoverdisk and…[Read more]

There was a pause as Master Klein seemed to consider Riure’s question. “Yeah,” he finally said. “Its cool. Just whisper. Don’t be afraid to question each other’s plans. If everyone is thinking the same, no one is thinking.”

YAY I’M SO GLAD SE IS DOING A SERIES ON THIS!! Man, did/do I struggle with this. In my first ever full-length novel I portrayed Jesus physically and called him Adonai. But that SO did not work, and when (like, 5 years later) I rewrote the book I took out my “Adonai” and instead am using the Trinity as I am experiencing him in everyday life – NOT…[Read more]
