Real Christian discussion

Here is where the mods of the group can chat, plan and discuss ideas.

Yay!!! Tamara good job(;
Hi(;

Hi! Thanks! ;)

So welcome(;

Sorry, I'm not being very helpful with the group. :( I'm going to be really busy for the next couple weeks, so I wanted to let you know that. After the middle of August I should be free till we leave for vacation which is in September.

Oh that's fine Tamara. I know you got a lot on your plate. No worries. It'll b fine(; We will work together wenevr we can(;

Okay, thanks for your support!! :)

Always Tamara(;

:D

So basically, to add a link you have to go to the online website and above the comment box it will say (some html is fine). If you click on that it will show you what to do in one section to add a link. I can explain in more detail if you can't figure it out.

Hey Tamara(:
I'm sorry I keep forgetting and just keep sending private messages instead of using this thread. Lol
I was wondering if you have any ideas for the group. Life has been so bisy and I've ran out of creative thought. Haha(;
So I was gonna ask the creative guru. Lol

Oh, no problem! Ummm, let me think. I've been super busy so I haven't had much time to put any thought into my groups. Do you want to have challenges, contests, or group reads? Those take time and energy, but I was thinking that might add something to the group. What do you think?

Oh its okay(: I understand. Me also. I added several new topics but I really don't know how to get the members to join in ya know. And yea!! Love it!! I was thinking maybe next month starting a Bible book Buddy read of the month. I made several polls on it. I like the contest idea. What kind? ;D

Yeah, I just saw them! I've had the same problem getting members to contribute. You may want to consider making the group public? I really don't have ideas for anything specific, just generic really. Writing contest maybe? Although people rarely do them so...

Oh I gotcha. Yeah it's hard.... Yeah. Whatever you think. What kind you think?
And yes. I will change that right away(:

Okay. Ummm, I actually think challenges would be better than contests. What do you think?

O I agree(:
What kind of challenges can we do?

And when do you think we should start the Bible Buddy Read?(:

I like the idea of little challenges every month. Or if that's too much every few months. Something like memorizing a chaper of the Bible. We could decide as we go along. :) We can start the Buddy reads anytime you want.

Thanks(;
I agree!! Completely! I may start next week since this week has been so busy. or the next. Whenever you think we can do a challenge I'm up for it(:

Yeah, I may need a little time for my busy schedule to blow over. I have a lot going on the next couple of weeks, so maybe we could wait on the challenge. :)

Ok! I understand(: I think that'd be true with me also. Lol. You can tell me when you want to later on(:

Okay, no problem!

Thanks Tamera(;

Ok. For future references I am sorry for sending you that long private message about the group when I probably shoulda put it here. Haha;P Sorry. Lol

Oh, no it's totally fine. Don't worry about it, you can always do either! :)

Haha thanks(: I always forget we have this thread!! Hahaha;P

I understand, so do I sometimes! ;)

Haha yep(;

Hello!!(:
Of course you have saw I've added many new topics and all and several people is doing great with participation!!(: (namely Aeryka and Ruth Elizabeth.) However I can't seem to get the rest of the group into the discussions. Is there something I'm not doing or missing or should add to make them feel more comfortable. Or is this just normal?
Oh and also I was wondering. It seems i have added two just talk topics... Both have multiple posts in them so should we delete one and if so which one? Hahaha XP

Oh, that's normal for newer groups. Really it's nothing you can change, but you can sometimes influence. I have never succeeded with that, so unfortunately I can't give you any tips. :( You've been doing a great job on the topics though. I am totally blank on ideas. I didn't notice the two talk topics, I'll look and see which one is going somewhere more than the other. :)

Um, did you already delete one? Cause I only found one on the group home page.

Haha. Got it. Thanks(: Yeah its pretty tough. I mean most of these people will even pm just won't work within the group. Lol. But thank you(: That's encouraging!
No I hadn't deleted one. One is called 'Just Talk' and the other is 'Talk'. Lol

Ahhh, got it. I found it. :)
How about you delete the "Just Talk" one, because you just made it and we're the only ones who've commented on it so none of the members will notice. Also the other one has more comments. What do you think?

I agree!!!(: Thanks! Can you delete it for me? The crazy phone won't let me XP

Done! :)

Yay!!! Go Tamera!!! Thanks (:

You're welcome! :)

:D

I just realized that there are two topics labeled Crafts To Try. Do you want me to delete one of them too? I don't think there are any comments on either.

Oh gee. Sorry, I'm bad about that. Haha. Yes that would be great if you would. Thank you (:

Already done! :) And it's totally fine, don't worry about it.

Yay!!! Thanks much(:

Hey Tamera!! Uhhhh I need a favor?? Lol. I'm having trouble figuring out how to close out a poll. I need the buddy reads polls (all four of them) to be closed. If you can you'd be just awesome(:

Oh, of course! I'll get right on it. I'll make a poll for what Matt was talkinv about too. I think I get the basic idea of what he was saying (maybe), let me know if it's okay. :)

Yay!! Thanks (: I'll go take a look!! I'm sure it is though!!!!

Thanks. Basically to end a poll you have to add a start anx finish date so it ends automatically whenever you want it to. I had them all end today except for the newest one. :) Does that make sense?

Yeah, gotcha(: Haha. Thank you!!!!!(:

I'm back!! I'll try to get back into the swing of things in a couple of days. I'm going to be very busy this fall, but hopefully will find time to help you out more with the group. :)

Awwww!! YAY!! *cheers* I'm so glad you're back :D :D
That's a o k!! Thanks much!!!! Y'all have fun? :D
