Story times!

Lore narrated by Aaron Mahnke is awesome. With a book series, an Amazon video series and this podcast Aaron has a voice that adds an extra creep factor to the scary stories based in true life he tells. At times, I get goosebumps listening to the history and folklore surrounding places and things of the past. A must hear episode is episode 15: Unboxed. The story of Robert the Doll, who inspired the Chucky series and his original owner of the same name, is one of the creepiest. This story of inspired me to drag three other unknowing adults through a museum in Key West. Be sure no pictures exist of this venture.

OxenFree

I want to start this by saying that I love OxenFree, I experienced it the first time over a year ago and again recently and that’s what it was an experience. The characters are well written and the story flows seemlesly and my only qualms with the game come with the replay, after the second time you play it through nothing but your choices are different and the game starts to drag but this is very minor and has no impact on the enjoyment unless you are hunting for all the endings and/or achievements

The Brightest Night by Bri Stone

Four Stars

I love stories that get to the point and don’t mindlessly drag on. The author made this story an enjoyable easy read. Thom and Perrie are likable characters. They weren’t perfect at the start. They had baggage that they wanted left behind. I enjoyed Perrie's personality she didn’t get starry eyed over a guy. She didn’t give up herself for him either. She lived her life for herself and didn’t put up with any mess. The easy flow from page to page was what had me hooked. Some stories have useless I moments and unnecessary dialogs. Here everything had a purpose and place. Would definitely read more from this author.

Cody Cook (8 KP) rated Holy Scripture: Revelation, Inspiration & Interpretation in Books

Jun 29, 2018

An approach to Scripture that emphasizes inspiration while also arguing for a more nuanced view of it. Would probably be safe to call Bloesch an infalliblist as opposed to an inerrantist. While the book seems to drag at times, there are some excellent observations and points made in regard to reading Scripture for the points it is actually trying to make as opposed to reading it with a wooden literalism that can tend to obscure the text and create dogmas out of incidental material. I didn't find myself agreeing with everything the author said, but in any case I did find the book to be interesting and agreed with a good deal of his points.
