Wow, thanks.
I really do hate maggots….probably not much different.
I’m sure it would be worth it for the girls, though!

They are less gross than maggots.

Is "moist" the operative word?

6) Favorite Fruit (if you have one)? - Peaches

Have you had Palisade peaches? AMAZING. We get them up from Colorado during late summer farmer's markets.

7) What pets do you have (besides chickens)? - 3 cats, 2 jumping spiders, and assorted caterpillars/chrysalises/cocoons depending on time of year.

My family has a whole jumping spider farm (read: probably a very small "infestation" by official definition). We'd have several in the house year round. I'm scared of spiders, except those cute little black jumping ones, so I was happy to have them around. Their mandibles are so pretty.

Different folks have different gifts! Seeing/feeling those things aren't beneficial for everyone's spiritual walk, and may even be detrimental to some. I honestly find it so cool to learn about different people's gifts. I think aside from the paranormal stuff, mine is the gift of childlike faith because God knew I'd have a second-guessing, doubting mind making me question everything.

Ah, I kinda miss D&D! We didn't ever do it much.

8) Have You Ever Seen Anything Paranormal Related? If you believe you have, what all happened? What did you see? Etc. -

When I was younger I used to see "things." I will not describe them because I have come to learn from God's Word that the things that manifested were actually satanic in origin. The Bible says that when people die they have no consciousness. They cannot return to this earth. They cannot speak to the living nor communicate with them in any way. It says that Satan can manifest in ways to deceive the living and make them believe his very first lie, when he told Eve, "You will not die," Gen. 3:4. But God had said, "You will die." Satan is a liar. Satan can appear as anything he wants, even "an angel of light," 2 Corinth. 11:14. The Bible says, "the dead don't know anything." Eccl. 9:5. Once I knew the truth, I never saw anything like that again. Because the Bible also says "the truth will make you free" and "Your Word is truth." John 8:32, John 17:17.

9) What's the best sort of Friday night party? -

Our Sabbath begins at sundown on Friday and extends to sunset Saturday. We spend that time celebrating our relationship with God. So we read, study, pray, listen to relaxing sacred music and enjoy family time on Friday night.

10) (Bonus Question): How is life going for you (Optional)? -

Life is sweet and wonderful, we are truly blessed, thanks for asking.

Haha, absolutely! Because dry turkey is the saddest thing to happen on Thanksgiving. I'll still give thanks, but it will be much harder

Have you had Palisade peaches? AMAZING. We get them up from Colorado during late summer farmer's markets.

Never heard of them but now I'll be ln the lookout. They sound really fancy by the name I'm stuck in TN so I'm unsure if we can grow many here.

My family has a whole jumping spider farm (read: probably a very small "infestation" by official definition). We'd have several in the house year round. I'm scared of spiders, except those cute little black jumping ones, so I was happy to have them around. Their mandibles are so pretty.

That is so lucky! Definitely the best kind of spider to have around (although I'm a little partial to the house spiders. They are so predictable that I'm never scared!)

I think aside from the paranormal stuff, mine is the gift of childlike faith because God knew I'd have a second-guessing, doubting mind making me question everything.

Oh boy do I get the questioning-bit. You know, I have no idea what my gifts are exactly. I get the distinct impression I'm actually meant to be "blind", not just to the paranormal, but to just about everything spiritual going on with me, period. This feels more like an ailment than a gift but maybe sometimes they can be the same thing. If I carry that cross long enough maybe it will yield some fruit...

Ah, I kinda miss D&D! We didn't ever do it much.

I think I like it the most because it is so much like a joint-writing project. It is also super fun to get into character stuff when maybe the chance never came--I was interested in drama but not the drama scene, I guess, so I missed out. Now I get to use my creativity and act/write in a less judgy and non-competitive space You should get an online group going if in-person isn't possible. Sometimes we just do it in kind of a group chat so nobody has to respond at a specific time!

Prayers for you!

I truly appreciate it. Thanks for all the kind words.
