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.

9) What's the best sort of Friday night party? - Dungeons and Dragons with a full table

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

Prayers for you!

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!)

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.

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.

 

[N3mesis_IceWing_NightWing]

No worries, demons can't stand Holy Water and prayer! (That's what we bless things with).

Yeah, I understand how that works all too well. I had a friend who's house wasn't exactly haunted, but he'd be randomly outside and come back with scratches on his back. It was more outside. In his backyard. It's covered in trees, there are neighbors and small, abandoned sheds and buildings dotted around.
I've also been told by him and his three younger siblings that once I started visiting and walking around with them in the woods and on their property, that the hauntings, noises, and them seeing things went away.
Prob bc my friend was the only one to not get blessed or baptized last. Now he's not told me anything other than his normal life so far.
CRAZY STUFF XD

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

Bahaha, very relatable! I'm gluten free (as of about three years ago), so my older sister would work extra hard, as the designated holiday cook, to make sure that there were yummy GF options for me. She did an amazing job. Pies, casseroles, mac'n cheese, etc. Even gluten free stuffing for the turkey one year! That was amazing, it made it easy to be very grateful. I'm living 1,200 miles away now, and we "party with the Greeks" (we go to a Greek Orthodox church, and they are the closest thing to family we have out here - they act like it, too, they're all amazing), so there isn't as much GF stuff. There are a handful of us with gluten problems in the church now, though, so maybe we can change the tides!

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.

I'm not sure if they're super local to Colorado/this area of the West or not. I never saw them back in Ohio. Perhaps they're so good just because they're so fresh, who knows! They're huge, juicy, and taste perfectly ripe.

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!)

Some house spiders give me the jeebies just because they look scary. My husband says spiders are friends, so he gets to deal with them! He thinks I'm silly when I wail for him to come save me if I find one in the shower.

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...

I feel the "feels more like an ailment than a gift" - I have a chronic illness and fatigue, and it's my cross to bear. It's definitely an ailment, but I'm convinced that God will use it as a gift eventually! Especially given that it's changed my life so dramatically from anything I ever wanted. Forced character development!

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.

I like your points. Sounds like you like it in a very forum RPG kind of style? I used to do those a ton when I was younger.

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

Of course.

If I remember right, they'd say they hear babies/dolls crying. They'd see strange figures with top hats or something. I think my friend told me he felt really hot sometimes and I think he got possessed a few times because he claimed to have had REEEEALLY strange "dreams" or "visions" (this I've been having for a long time as well, so I know how that stuff works).
(Also, I believe "Deja Vu" is somehow a part of spiritual connections. Someone trying to warn you/remind you of something important.)
I think his sister also told me he'd randomly walk outside and into the backyard at night (and like I said earlier he'd come back with scratches)...
They also had their house blessed...They now have this problem under control and I'm happy for them
