Congrats on first!
Country girl: hey. remember me? I have been on the blog before and thought I would see how they changed it. how you doing? I have already started school, but it is going great so far. I have to start a book report soon tho so not looking forward to that since I’m not the best at writing.
Sorry if this is a random comment and you don’t remember me.
I agree😊
First!
That was me,
First!
First?
Just listened to it! Was really good, too bad it’s only one every Tuesday though, but cliffhangers keep you wanting more. Can’t wait for part 2!
whoops just realized that I hit enter too fast, so I might’ve put a duplicate on my comment. This response from “Lu” is really Livia❤. Sorry for the confusion!
Just listened to it! Was really good, too bad only one comes out every week, cliffhangers just keep me wanting more. Can’t wait for part 2!
(First by any chance?)
I was second!!!
i have no name
lol
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
These cliffhangers are very tough haha. I count down the days til the next episode releases. Part 1 is good and all. Don’t get me wrong I loved it but I felt it was a little less odyssey (if u know what I mean) I felt that it didn’t show god as much and I love when it shows god through the episodes. I loved the episode but that’s just my opinion.
Yeah, it did seem a bit weird, but that might be because I think they recorded it off sight. I think.
P:S Sorry for not commenting anything about the podcast itself.
*Sigh…* I was too late… not first comment… 🙁 Oh, well, there’s always next podcast! 😉
I voted in the Avery Awards! Can’t wait for the results!
I did too!
So did I!!
me too
Ha! I actually got first!
Nice job lol
I hope we get to meet Pamela’s child or at least about them in the new episode. It will be cool if it touches on the struggles of teen moms. I can’t wait to find out!
That is such a good idea!
That is such a good idea!
I voted too! Cant believe Katie Leigh was on for best actress.
I HAVE A NEW COUSIN!!!!!!!!!!!!

We’re excited to have you join us! 😀
I think Paul McCusker would do a great AIO spin-off for older audience members. Like a teen Odyssey sort of thing with the older characters and dealing with more difficult issues like Pamela Has a Problem did. He’s always been the one to handle more controversial episodes and he does it so well!
Agreed
Yes! The newer episodes are just too young for me now. I hope that AIO makes some new episodes aimed at older audiences or, like you said, create a whole new show that is geared towards 12-18 instead of 8-12.

New Green Ember page:
June 3, 2020: Redefining Bridget with actress Keely Marshall
I don’t know how to do links so just find the page XD.
This podcast was great and I remember when I as maybe 8 or 9 I had got the lost episodes album for my birthday ( because it said lost episodes and I was thinking yeah other kids have never heard these😂 lol) but I remember hearing Pamela has a problem ( I listened to it by myself) and I already knew about abortion because my Dad went to the March
For life before but I remember running to him with the cd saying this episode talks about abortion!! And he said well let we listen to it but u don’t know if he ever did but I remember after that I threw it away because I guess I thought I would get in trouble because I listened to it but I wish I didn’t😩😂 lol
COOLCUZ: Congrats on your new baby cousin!
I submitted my votes for Avery Awards!

This is random but I wonder what happened to Agnes after Tom died…
Is there anyone else who counts the days before the next podcast and marks it on their calendar? Or am i just a HUGE AiO geek? XD! Also yes, I did slightly change my screen name.
I haven’t done this in forever, but you, Mr. McCusker are a true inspiration to me in my writing. Even though you will never be able to read it, I have written a story and it is dedicated to you because you inspired part of it through your Father Gilbert works. Thank you! God bless!
WOWOWOWWOW cant wait for the end of the Ridel revelations!
Hey everyone!
Whats up?
CoolCuz: That was very sweet. You should send it in to Adventures in Odyssey!
Cartoons: That is a good question! I wonder too!
Random question: So, for those of you who have the club right now, are you still able to listen to the Morie Ridel Revelations? I want to hear and am thinking about getting the club.
Yes you can!
Yes, they will remain available.
Katie Leigh, if you are reading this, I Love You!!!!!
so do I…..
Hey Guys, I was wondering if anyone could tell me more about Wingfeather, thanks.
Go to the Green Ember page!
Is Paul McCusker writing for AIO again?

Bethel: Thank you for telling me!
Oh! I have heard Pamela had a problem!
I really liked that episode!
Naomi!!! Hey remember me? Its Gracie!
Why can’t you comment on the new podcast!
Idk. I can’t either.

The Green Ember is a fantastic book series by S D Smith. There’s a whole bunch of us on here that love it, so we’re chatting about it on one of the other podcasts.😄
It’s a book series, and that thread is for it.

Thank you!
I will pray for you and your family!
The Green Ember is part of a series by S.D Smith. The Green Ember page is just a place where the fans get together to talk about the books.
God bless you!! ☺

i feel so blessed!
Moriah:
Hey! I’m here!😄
Hi! How has your week been so far?
Great! I’m enjoying my last week of vacay.😄How’s your week been?
Are you excited for school? I am 😛 We start Monday tho my fav subjects don’t start till later.
We started school two weeks ago, and I really like it! My fav subject is math. I am home -schooled, by the way. What are your fav subjects?
Awesome! I’m homeschooled too actually. Have you always been homeschooled? I have.
Wow, that’s great! Math is one of least fav subjects. It’d be great if I liked it more!
My fav subjects are literature and writing! I do two AWESOME courses, and I can’t wait for them to start!😆
Yeah, I have, too! My least fav subject would have to be grammer. It’s really confusing to me. I like math now, but I probably will change my mind when it gets harder.
Yeah, grammar wasn’t my fav either… It’s pretty dry stuff
Mermaid12!!!!!!!!!!!!! OH MY! How are you? Do you remember me? I was apart of your girl’s small group. I was suppose to post a Bible study for you when I lost my membership. If you don’t remember me, I understand. I know there were a lot of girls on the club 🙂 Well, hope you have a great day and, I’ll see you around. God bless!
korearules27: Hello! I don’t think we have met. You can call me Naomi or, Na10 (But, you could probably tell from my screen name 🙂 ). Who is your favorite adventures in Odyssey character?
Mermaid12: OH MY!!!!! Do you remember me from the club? I was apart of your Bible study for girls. I did a study for you once and, I was suppose to do one but, I lost my membership. How have you been?
NaomiorNa10: Ofc I remember you!! And I think you posted on the club, but I’m seeing this comment now! I have been great. Started school and all.
Hey ya’ll! I am SO EXCITED for the Rydell Revelations!
Moriah:
You still here? 🙂
lol nvm
(what does nvm mean/stand for?)☺
It stands for never mind😁
Oh… thanks!😝
Yes!☺ I replied to your last comment, in case you didn’t see it yet!
Yes, I am! I posted you a reply to your last comment, in case you haven’t seen it yet!! How are you doing with school?
Oops…double comments! 😝
Yup, I saw and responded!😄
School is going great! I haven’t started up fully yet, and as my family has a new baby, we prob won’t get super serious for another week or two. Hbu?
A new baby? Aww!!☺ I am the second of eight kids.
That’s awesome! We have a large family as well, tho I can’t say how large. 🙂
Hi!
Moriah:
Idk if I’ve asked this before, but what are your main hobbies?
I love to crochet, run, do crafts, and spoil my pet rabbit. What about you?
I love to write (but you already knew that lol), sew, crochet, hang out with friends and family, and (occasionally/when I have a book/when I make the time to) read. What do you like to crochet?
You crochet?! All right!! 😉
I don’t have a particular favorite, I’m kind of just trying different things out to FIND something I like, but right now I am making an ornament for each member of our family, which is fun and easy. What about you? How long have you been crocheting?
Oh that’s cool! I’m not a very experienced crocheter; my mom taught me the chain stitch and I taught myself the slip stitch. Until a week or two ago, I didn’t even know there was such a thing as a double/single/triple/etc stitch, but I’ve been crocheting for several years. Right now I’m working on a slip stitch blanket😄
Sounds cool! I’m not very experienced either. I learned from a handicrafts video we have at home, and it only teaches the chain stitch, single crochet, could crochet, and a few beginner projects. Let me know how the blanket turns out! ☺
That’s cool! I learned from a book someone gave me: it has a bunch of projects in it. I’ll prob do one or two, but mostly just do my own thing😜 And will do!
Do you like to read?
I do! I just finished a series by two Christian authors about the end times. It was really good! Do you like to read? Do you have anything in particular you want to crochet once you finish your blanket?
How hard is sewing?
Yes, I do enjoy a good story! Tho now I tend to spend my time trying to write one rather than reading one lol😜 I have a large to-read list tho; I’d better get cracking if I want to finish them all anytime soon!
After I finish this blanket, I think I’ll try mittens! I have instructions for them, so I figure I’ll give them a try! Hbu?
I think sewing is SUPER easy! Like it’s my opinion anyone who wants to could learn. (I’m very crafty, so that does play a factor in my opinions) So long as you have a working sewing machine (that doesn’t eat the fabric), decent fabric (cotton is easiest to work with), and a beginners pattern, you’ll do great! Are you going to give sewing a whirl?
I love sewing, though I don’t do it very much. Sorry if I’m butting into the conversation.
It’s okay!
That’s great! What do you like to sew?
Bethel:
Sorry this reply is super late. Life has been kinda crazy lately. I might try sewing, we have a sewing machine actually three, two from my grandma and one is my moms) and lots of fabric. What would you say is the easiest thing to sew?
Next week I will be on vacation, so I won’t be able to reply, but I will try to as soon as I get back!☺
Oh that’s awesome! Maybe try a drawstring bag to start with, then a skirt with an elastic waist. Skirts like that are really easy beginner projects😄
Okay! Hope you have lots of fun!
I mostly embroider things.
I tried embroidery a few years ago, but I didn’t stick with it for very long!
Oh fun! I haven’t really done any of that. What do you like embroidering best?
Great podcast!
Did my comments not go through? 🤔
Nvm😜
I don’t know what I like embroidering best, it’s been a long time since I have, but my aunt is a weaver (of hangings) and we did a hanging together but I had to put in some little things that we couldn’t do with her yarn and needle, so I got to embroider it.
Oh cool! I did a sampler type embroidery project one time, but besides a few other tiny things, I haven’t done much embroidery😁
You still here, gals?😉
Yes, sorry! Last week was stressful, because my younger brother, older sister and I led worship at our church this past Sunday. How are you doing?
No problem! I’m doing well! Keeping busy with school and I got to see friends for a bit today, so that was nice. Hbu?
Oh that’s super cool! Did you play an instrument? I play the electric piano for my church (usually on either an organ combo setting or a strings/bass mix)
Yeah.
Yeah, I’m still on here.
Yay!😄 How have you been?
Great!
That’s awesome!
My sister plays the piano, my brother drums, and I sing. We are filling in for our usual worship leaders, who are on vacation.
That’s super cool!
How’s school going?
Good! Trying to get better at grammar. Hbu?
Well! I could do without grammar, though. ☺☺
Oh yuck… yeah, I did NOT like grammar. Thankfully I’m done with it now!😅
But… alg and harder latin and science sometimes makes me want to throw my books out of the window… lol
That’s exactly how I feel about grammer! ☺
lol Glad someone can relate with me!
When we had to do virtual meetings, me and my younger sister sang with our dad. And once when I was younger I sang with my dad. Everyone in our family except the two youngest boys play instruments.
Oh awesome! Is your dad a pastor or worship leader then? Mine is a pastor😄 Which instrument do you play?
How’s school going?
My dad is a pastor, too!!
Seriously?! That’s so cool!!!😆
My Dad is a Pastor and my mom a worship leader
Bethel,
How is your brother doing? 💙
He’s doing super well! Getting bigger everyday!❤️
My dad is an elder and a junior pastor and a worship leader!
Oh cool!
You guys excited for the holidays?
Are you by any chance HorseLuver from the club?
Yes I am!
To answer my own question I just looked posts from another podcast and realized you are HorseLuver. On the club I’m Chickadeegirl. Nice to meet you off the club.😁

Hi

CaptainJess:
Yes, I’d totally do that for you! Who and which page?
I’m doing great! Insanely busy with school and bday prep (I’m writing something for my one sister and the deadline is swiftly approaching…😬), but good. How are you?
Everybody on the club days hi and they miss you.
Horseluver and chickadee girl:
How are you both doing?
I’ve missed you guys on the club
It’s such a blessing to be on here now! And I hope I’ll be able to get to know you both better!
I’m going to church in about an hour
It’s ☔️stormy here in Australia
We set up our Christmas tree yesterday when do you both do yours? Running out of space
Bye
Does that stand for Captain Jess Sparrow?
We just put up our tree and we’ll decorate it tonight
Guys I’m changing my username to…
I love the sword emojis🗡 (that is my only sword emoji)
Never mind I found another sword emoji⚔😁
To what? Please I want to know.
She’s changing it to Captain J.S.⚔
We do our Christmas tree right after Thanksgiving. Me and my sister decorate the tree so we can put on any ornament. Including the ones of my mom as a kid. I love those ornaments! My mom doesn’t though.
Does that stand for Captain Jess Sparrow?
Does anyone like pirates of the Caribbean?
If so which is your favorite?
I like curse of the black pearl
My username either stands for…
Captian jack sparrow
Or…
Captian Jessica my last name starts with S
So it’s my initials and jack sparrow at the same time!!!😂🤣😂
I’m pretty potc (pirates of the Caribbean) crazy 😜
I haven’t seen pirates of the Caribbean
That makes sense
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
Captain Jess:
I’m doing great! I had a wonderful Thanksgiving yesterday; great food, fun games, and a bunch of amazing people!
That’s so cool you live in Australia! I’m in the US.😁
My family doesn’t do a Christmas tree, but we set up our Nativities a week or two ago. We put up lights outside, but have to get some new ones for inside.
Out of space
Why don’t you do a Christmas tree? You don’t have to answer that if you don’t want to.
My cousin got the club. I wish you could meet her. You guys would of been friends.
Hey, Bethel!
sorry that I left you hanging here for so long!
Happy thanksgiving! We set up our tree yesterday, and deep cleaned the house Friday.
My mom is having another baby, and I hope to crochet it a blanket once we find out whether it’s a boy or a girl. f
How are you?
Are you excited for Christmas?
butterfly: mum and dad are discussing me joining the club tonight
😬😬😬
also potc is a great series of movies
they can get a little violent somtimes but its realy realy funny
especialy jack sparrow
You mean you might get the club again! I hope you do We’ve missed you so much!
butterfly: there is only a slim chance but…
they still havnt talked about it so i have no clue 😢
Yay for slim chances (the’re better than nothing). I hope hope hope hope you can get the club!
Moriah:
It’s fine! I understand; life gets crazy😉
Oh fun! We just finished decluttering as well!
CONGRATULATIONS ON THE NEW SIBLING!!!!!!😆 I’m so happy for you all!
I’m good! Juggling a bunch of projects, but good! How are you?
Yes, I am excited! I LOVE Christmas. Hbu?
I love Christmas time, too!
All of the lights and the beauty of the season make me feel warm and happy inside, if you know what I mean!!☺
I just finished making a crochet matching hat and scarf.
How is your slip stitch blanket going?
That’s exactly how I feel!
Wow, that’s awesome! What color?
I actually haven’t worked on it in a while. My life has become a whirlwind of activity what with holiday/bday prep and jobs, but I hope to get back to it eventually. It’s still quite small… Maybe I’ll be able to finish it before I turn 18! 😂
The colors are a mix of pink, grey, and a creamy white.
Yeah,I understand–life can get pretty crazy at times!
Our youth group just went caroling tonight. It was a lot of fun!
Can you believe Christmas is in a few days?!
Oh how cute!
Agreed!😉
How fun!!!
I know! Christmas really came quickly!!! And now I can’t believe it’s over… and that it’s nearly *gasp* 2021😱 How were the holidays for you?
Sorry I didn’t respond sooner. I saw your comment, but didn’t/wasn’t able to respond.
Captain J.S.
I hope you get the club again!!!
thanks bethel
i hope so too
How’s everyone doing? It’s a cloudy and cold day here in the U.S.
its a burning hot day here is australia!!!😂😂😂
Sounds wonderful. (Not really)
agreed……
LOL!!!
Have your parents talked about the club yet? I really want you to get it!
I’m good! It’s rainy but kinda warm (58 degrees Fahrenheit) for December where I live… I was hoping for a good, thick snow.😕😉
It’s snowing right now!
Yes!!! Same here. LOVE IT!!!!
Hey butterfly
Unfortunately they haven’t …
Yet
But I keep asking
We have been sooooooooo busy lately
But as soon as they make their desicion you will be the first to know!!!
Ok thanks
It snowed around a week ago.
SNOW IS AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄🌨🌨🌨🌨🌨🌨🌨🌨🌨🌨🌨🌨
Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!!!❤❤❤🎁🎁🎁🎄🎄🎄🎅🎅🎅
I agree! We got, like, six inches on Christmas Eve; now, we have prob around eight.😆We had a white Christmas!!!
Have your parents talked about the club yet?
We got snow on Christmas
We got about 1/2 inch at most on Christmas. We called it a white Christmas because that’s the most we’ve ever gotten on Christmas. At least in a long time.
I want to have a more creative username
I’m thinking about changing my username to either Cardinal or Labrador or Psalms 9:1 or I can keep it the same. What do you guys think?
I think whatever you choose with be awesome!😄 If you feel like you would rather have a new one, go for it!
Is anyone here?
Captain JS?
I think Psalms 9:1 is good.
Sorry I disappeared. I’m still here! Oh and JS is back on the club! At least she was… I haven’t seen her lately☹️
Yes I saw her there
