The Town of Odyssey

And many times at that. I haven't in the last year and a half and was thinking of doing another one soon. The last time I did one it took me eight months. I recommend it, it's fun hearing the progression.

And after commenting on danadelfos's deep reading choices...I'm about to read "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" by J.K. Rowling. ;) I'm going to go ahead and pretend that's a deep book. I struggle to want to read fiction. It's a problem. :lol: I'm in the same boat. Ask friends for re...

I'm not super invested (not to say that I don't care about the bad name they make for believers) I might recommend the final chapter then, perhaps the one before that too. It's not a very theological book, but that part of the book does touch on that theme. Changing the topic, I seem to remember yo...

That book title was so interesting that I had to look it up, Jonathan. It looks like a tough but worthwhile read. I'd be curious to hear if you would recommend it, Jonathan. I'd recommend it if you have a reason for reading it. Some of the older ToO members will remember that I had a preoccupation ...

That's very similar to how I found it, through the AIOHQ, but in those days it was the TH and not the ToO.

I would say the continued polarisation of people's political views is cause for concern, as well as how our behaviour on social media platforms is contributing towards that polarisation. Absolutely spot on. I've been thinking about this a lot lately. As someone who manages a store on Lake St in Min...

Silent Night. I always thought it was a more intimate look into his life.

I don't know that young people today think about it as seriously as they should. I know they don't. And they don't start thinking about it until its far too late and after some bad money habits have already been established. Spiders Stay away from Australia mate. But for the record Huntsman spiders...

Finished London Bridges. No more James Patterson for me. Now reading Angels and Demons by Dan Brown

Finished Dark Road, now it's London Bridges by James Patterson. I don't think I'd recommend the book. Or the author.

Finished Bonhoeffer, now reading a little known book called I Trust When Dark My Road by Todd Peperkorn on the Lutheran view of depression. I'm currently reading "Is God a Moral Monster? Making Sense of the Old Testament God" by Paul Copan. Report back on this one. I've heard of it but don...

I didn't know HMC was a book, I thought it was an anime. Fun music though, I performed it a year or two ago.

Bonhoeffer by Eric Metaxas. It's a haul, but very good. I've owned that tome for a few years and haven't read it yet. It is a big book! I do want to read it, but keep thinking I don't have time to read such a long book. I should just start and read a bit every day. Highly, highly recommended. I hav...

I feel a lot more united with the community as strange as it sounds. I've noticed people, at least in my area, have been a lot more friendly and happy in general. It's funny how stuff like this brings people together even while physically keeping them apart. I think that may vary by location. I liv...

No preschool, public school, and state college. If I were to have kids I already have a few private schools on my radar, if not homeschooling.

Bonhoeffer by Eric Metaxas. It's a haul, but very good.

In addition, it provided some of us with more time.
