We may have had the same childhood. I remember studying the cover of my parents copy of “Turmoil in the Toybox” where demonized versions of every popular cartoon character were pictured crawling out of a trunk like the cover of an R.L Stine book.
Ha. Referencing Goosebumps...without question I would never have read a Goosebumps book as a kid--even though I studied their covers deeeeeply (and surreptitiously) as I passed the bookshelves at the local Pharmore.
I really appreciate your non-answer answer--it feels apt and insightful--and very much like you, too, in a good way.
PS: I giggled out loud at the description “spicy.”
PPS: I was sad to miss this past meetup! It sounds like there was a dearth of male involvement, and I so want more men to be involved in such thoughtful conversations!
Very well said! This concept is so vast, it can be applied to most things in life that we question or wonder about. There is no one size fits all and I love that you made a point of directing us to look within and to look to god for guidance.
