"'Colonel,' [Jackson] said, 'do you know why I habitually abstain from intoxicating liquors?'
Bottles shook his head. The general then answered his own question: 'Why, sir, because I like the taste of them. When I discovered this to be the case, I made up my mind at once to do without them altogether. '"
I love Jackson's moral compass.

Making progress 🥳🤣

Somehow I don't think I'll be able to finish this before the end of the year....😅

🥺😱😭

This is so repetitive. 😖 I've read the same story, almost word for word, four times now.

We are through the Waterloo chapters! Now we just have the sewers...

This book is never going to eeeeend 😱

What?! 😱

I'm lost....🤔

I forgot how much I love this book...🥹 Hektor....😍😭🥹

Tolstoy perfectly captures the struggle we all face. To live as the world and be accepted or to be true to our faith and conscience and be rejected, mocked and outcast.

I'm laughing my head off. Jacobs is helping his nanny find a boyfriend using online dating, and pretending to be her. It's halarious because I did something similar last year. I made a profile on some free Christian dating sites and documented the odd messages that I got. It makes me sad that the messages on secular vs Christian sites are virtually indistinguishable. Where are all the good men? Not on online sites...

I'm a victim, you're a victim, we're all victims! Hurrah! 🥳

"A son is a separate piece cut off. He's like the falcon that flies home and flies away at his pleasure; while you and I are like a pair of mushrooms in the hollow of a tree, we sit side by side, and don't move from our place. Only I am left to you unchanged forever, as you to me."

This is why I love Russian authors!! 😍😭

"Oh, you mustn't pray for that either," said Alyosha, horrified. "Why do you want freedom? In freedom your last grain of faith will be choked with weeds. You should rejoice that you're in prison. Here you have time to think about your soul."

All these pastors and teachers that I used to trust. Whyyyyyyyyyyy?! 😭

😭😭❤️ That is literally the saddest, most touching scene I've read. 😢 😍

Haha!! I love how they make fun of mega churches. I wrote a novel that started just like this. 🤣

"Our lives are bound together not by men but God. This bond can only be broken by a crime, and that kind of crime begins its punishment. "

😭💔

😱😱😱 How disturbing. 😱

I love this book already. 🥳 Finally, someone else who thinks therapy (for most situations, obviously not ones with REAL trauma) is actually harmful rather than helpful.

I'm really not sure where this story is going...🤔

😮😱 Fighting off sharks daily just to survive....this is crazier than fiction.

Half way through the book and the despicable old man is still alive. I thought this was a murder mystery of sorts...🤔

"I believe the devil would not let people swear so much if Christian people always prayed every time they heard an oath. He would then see it did not pay."

"Today's Nazis are Hamas. Today's enablers of Nazism are the students and others who support Hamas. History will judge them the way history has judged the Nazi collaborators."

"Freedom of speech is not freedom from being held accountable for one's speech."

In stories, the bad parties always become clear sooner rather than later. But life isnt like that. The Bible says that the devil often comes as an angel of light. I wish things were simple like in the stories where you can look at a person and know their heart, good or bad. 😭

😂😂😂 her massage experience! 😂 I've only ever had one massage (at aged nine) and was so humiliated that I vowed I'd never go again...😂😂

Not liking the direction this story is going. Riley is like 10 years older than she is, isn't he? 🤮
