Also, "A Memory of Jerry" always makes me a bit uncomfortable, being a pacifist... They make it out as if it's a sin to not go to war. >_> So, what are your opinions on "Sergeant York?" He was a pacifist, too, if you remember. He tried to remove himself from the actual warfare b...

I checked the wiki page, and this little gem stuck out to me: Early in her life, Renee had her dog pass away. She had faith, but lost it after he died. Thus, she devoted her thinking to proof, rather than faith. Her faith is largely based in math Okay............ :anxious: :anxious: :anxious: Will t...

1951 - It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas || Do you like Perry's version more or Bing's? I love Bing's. Bing's. Bing Crosby is amazing. Along that line, if you want to hear a good song of his, he and the Andrews Sisters did a song in 1947 called "Pistol Packin' Mama." It's great....

Her neck is about as long as Candace Flynn's from Phineas and Ferb . :lol: :lol: :lol: And her head, should it be shorn, appears that it would have the shape of certain medieval crests. The song in the Alvin and the Chipmunks film The Chipmunk Adventure that Alvin, Simon, and Theodore sing while bei...

I just realized how fortunate we are as Odyssey fans... Most "Christian" entertainment of all forms isn't quite up to snuff to most "secular" entertainment. Movies, songs, books... Amen. My family and I walked into a Family Christian Store yesterday, and just yikes. There is a f...

WHY in the WORLD would someone send cotton candy in the MAIL??? #onlyJason :roll: I know that I've been gone for a long while, but I must cut in and defend Jason. My father has for 20+ years bought oranges every Christmas for himself and had them shipped fresh from California. He loves citrus. So e...

Jack Allen: Just like in the 1992-1996 era where Jack and Jason split the aspects of Whit's personality, I have found myself on many occasions to step into the role of the calm, mature elder in an attempt to satiate my friends on something, who can be quite impetuous and reckless. Edwin Blackgaard: ...

I'm back!!! Though my prayer requests are by no means as large as some of your's, I do have several major things in my life that have occurred in the last several months, and I would be graciously indebted to you all if you would pray for them when they come to your mind. 1). Mrs. Anna, as I call he...

Connie, I'm going to agree with you on that. We have several homeschooling families in our church, but only two of them have children old enough to take "jobs." One of them, who works part time at a local fast food restaurant, tends goats with her mother, and helps her make homemade cheese...

That's a little too difficult, Kaida, for they would have to hire specially-trained employees to tamper with the tubes. If however, they laced a certain amount of toothpaste tubes with poison while they were in the factory, they would save all the trouble. Then, to distinguish those tubes from the n...

Edwin Blackgaard would have Shakespeare dispense his toothpaste for him (as well as probably brush his teeth.) :) Walter Shakespeare probably squeezes it in a mousey little way, taking both thumbs and forefingers and working it from the end until there's just enough exposed at the top to brush onto ...

I want this. :yes: So, may I ask how long it is (in pages), and whether you plan on undertaking the transposing of any of the other versions of the theme? One of the most well-known songs of the Doo-Wop era, its sound reflecting perfectly the general concept of the genre. Originally sung by The Mono...

"I'm sorry I'm so *yawn* tired, Connie. Bernard and I stayed up till two in the morning last night watching the New Year's Eve Twilight Zone Marathon at my house." ---John Avery Whittaker Never knew that my heart could go "zing!" that-a-way, Ting-a-ling that-a-way, Make me sing t...

Another family you guys forgot is Eugene, Katrina, and Buck. We haven't necessarily forgotten about them, as they are not permanent yet. Does the AIO team plan on developing them into a long-term family unit? Most likely. Does this idea have large amounts of potential? Absolutely. But Buck came to ...

The Jones Family needs to be focused on, with at least two episodes an album starring them, and secondary or cameo appearances in at least one more. There has always been one main family on Odyssey (Heavens, the Barclays held that title for years.), but to not display the home lives of anyone else, ...

Snubs, I have a question about the two boxed sets. I have never purchased them (or asked for them for Christmas) as I assumed they were just a compilation of the sagas. My thinking was that since I already had all the episodes of Blackgaard and Novacom on my regular albums, then there is no need to ...

Sorry, folks. No pictures. But let me say, I got Album 59: Taking the Plunge and the out-of-print Complete Guide to Adventures in Odyssey . That book is amazing. Trust me, I'm on Page 12, and you all will be hearing much about it in the coming months. :yes: Considered by most to be the song most res...

So, I was out Christmas shopping today, and, as is my custom, I sauntered into a Family Christian Bookstore. I immediately made a beeline for the children's merchandise, where Adventures in Odyssey is located. There was a new boxed set displayed, entitled Countdown to Christmas: Advent Collection . ...

Congratulations on all you have accomplished in the Adventures in Odyssey fan community, Jacob! \:D/ The Scoop is what initially got me involved in the AIO fan community. That was in 2010/2011, and I have now been a member here for over three-and-a-half years. I cannot wait for the special announcem...

In answer to your question, Eleventh, our church does closed communion, only allowing church members to partake of the Lord's Supper. Our church takes the Lord's Supper several times a year, though there is no organized dates for it. Pastor does Communion randomly, as in the past when those services...
