No, sorry, that's not the answer.
I've already given a hint somewhere in this subforum.

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
What's on your mind? Friendship Court edition.

I wish the drama in my family would stop.

Sorry, the Bible is not entertainment.
I've already given a hint somewhere in this subforum, on last Sunday (Australian time).

I wonder if our friend @GodAndChocolateVanilla will be commemorating Rosh Hashana?

The answer is "storytelling within a family" or board games.
In an era of high technology, they are being forgotten, but don't underestimate them.

Storytelling wasn’t a familial event but a frequent form of play in my childhood. Board and card games were long time favorites growing up and as an adult with family, friends and children.

I wish I could find more people that are like me.
I don't think it's wrong to desire that. I'm already around too many people that are different from me.

I finally had a chance to work on my personal curriculum yesterday and I’m finalizing it and making adjustments. It’s a recent trend designed for edifying pursuits that improve our knowledge and person. Unlike previous iterations it isn’t dominated by aesthetics or Herculean tasks (which have their place) and the likelihood of continuance is great. I’ve included a couple of videos if you want to learn more or try it yourself.
I’m using a seasonal approach and a notion template to keep track of things. It isn’t perfect and I’ll probably buy one instead. But for the moment it’ll do. As for the rest, the sky’s the limit. You can focus on anything and grouping them in categories is easiest. I have four at the moment but six is probably best and I’ll add them tomorrow. The activities you have in mind are distributed to the groups with resources in tow and a schedule follows.
The neat thing about this is the reemergence of stimulating discourse that doesn’t involve politics, religion or debates. Not that they’re bad but they’ve become a source of contention in this space and it’s nice to see people focusing on other subjects. I look forward to reading more and challenging myself. The weather is cooling and I enjoy Russian novels in that setting and Dickens in the winter.
I’m reminded of the scene in Pride and Prejudice where Bingley is chided for his lack of discrimination on accomplished women and his sister corrects him. We don’t have a similar standard today but renaissance women are on the rise and accepting the mantle. I expect we’ll see a rekindling of cafe society and the intelligentsia. We’ve been on this trajectory for a while and we’ve found our sweet spot.

I'm thinking about picking up writing again on the false Christianity that's on Gab.
There's just a couple of things I need to add to the article, then it's ready to go.

Just finished an amazing study on Formed with a friend. Hoping to start another one soon.
Great day in Adoration today - sometimes the tears just come in Jesus' presence.

Personal curriculums are quite the rabbit hole and I’ve enjoyed hearing what others are doing. In the midst of putting my list together I remembered I had one elsewhere and another in my notes. The latter was part of a lifestyle shift which I haven’t been able to work on due to canning. But there’s a solution for that as well. Which confirms its time to get things underway.
One of the videos I listened to shared an interesting approach some might appreciate if an alternative is preferred. The 3-2-1 method requires you to do 3 things daily, 2 weekly and 1 per month. It’s ideal for busy periods, greater variety or short attention spans.
I’ve chosen to approach it as lifelong learning and structure helps with consistency. Several tools were suggested and I found multiple notion templates I plan to use for different purposes. Having everything in one document is overwhelming. Although I have things in mind for the year I prefer to address them seasonally during the appropriate period.
I ended up with ten categories that covers everything and filled them in. I can make additions of course but I don’t want to repeat the process every quarter and its probable I’ll do them in yearly batches instead. I’m harmonizing everything and that’s the rhythm I’m after. I consider fall a period of transition. We still experience the harvest from summer but the pace is slowing. That’s why we’re opting for cozy over busyness.
This is a wonderful complement to our biblical calendar. Every quarter brings new discoveries and greater displays of symmetry. We’re getting closer to former ways we’ve read about elsewhere. I don’t want to mimic them exactly. But I think we’ve lost important truths through our modernity that I want to reclaim and this is another step towards it.
