In this bonus episode, MSNBC's Ari Melber sits down with Novelist Jonathan Franzen at the 2024 Rancho Mirage Writers Festival.

Things had gone on in this way for several weeks—if Gibbie had not been such a small creature, I hardly see how they could for so long—when one morning the men came in to breakfast all out of temper together, complaining loudly of the person unknown who would persist in interfering with their work. They were the louder that their suspicions fluttered about Fergus, who was... #story #kidsstory AcreSoft Story Classic acresoft.com acresoft.contactin.bio • Philippians 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things [are] honest, whatsoever things [are] just, whatsoever things [are] pure, whatsoever things [are] lovely, whatsoever things [are] of good report; if [there be] any virtue, and if [there be] any praise, think on these things.

It was now time he should resume his journey up Daurside, and he set out to follow the burn that he might regain the river. It led him into a fine meadow, where a number of cattle were feeding. The meadow was not fenced—little more than marked off, indeed, upon one side, from a field of growing corn, by a low wall of earth, covered with moss and grass and flowers. The cattle were therefore herded by a... #story #kidsstory AcreSoft Story Classic acresoft.com acresoft.contactin.bio • Bible Verse: Romans 12:11 Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;

By this time Gibbie had got well up towards the roots of the hills of Gormgarnet, and the river had dwindled greatly. He was no longer afraid of it, but would lie for hours listening to its murmurs over its pebbly bed, and sometimes even sleep in the hollows of its banks, or below the willows that overhung it. Every here and there, a brown rivulet from some peat-bog on a hill—brown and clear, like smoke-... #story #kidsstory Kids Story Fiction Family Bedtime Stories for Children and Adults to Sleep • AcreSoft Story Classic acresoft.com acresoft.contactin.bio • Psalms 145:10 All thy works shall praise thee, O Lord; and thy saints shall bless thee.

“This, too, will pass,” is a Persian word. Gibbie's agony passed, for God is not the God of the dead but of the living.

Such were the events of every night, and such had they been since Gibbie first assumed this office of guardian—a time so long in proportion to his life that it seemed to him as one of the laws of existence that fathers got drunk and Gibbies took care of them. But Saturday night was always one of special bliss; for then the joy to come spread its arms beneath and around the... #story #kidsstory AcreSoft Story Classic acresoft.com acresoft.contactin.bio • Proverbs 23:31-32 Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his colour in the cup, [when] it moveth itself aright.

The uncles, themselves grieving over the departure of their dear young niece, were most kind to the bereaved brother and sisters; doing all they could to comfort them, attending to the arrangements and expenses connected with the funeral and the putting on of mourning by Ethel and Blanche.

From the library Ethel went up to the schoolroom, where Nannette and the younger cousins were engaged with their tasks for the morrow. “Oh, I'm so glad you've come at last, Ethel, dear,” said Nannette. “It always seems lonesome without you, and besides I want your help with this lesson; it's so hard, and you always know how to explain things and make them easy.” Ethel's eyes filled.

As the war went on and Ethel heard frequent allusions among the older people to its great expense and the rapid rise in the price of all the necessaries of life, she felt an increasing desire to be able to support herself, and her brother and sisters. Except to them she said nothing to any one of her relatives of that ardent wish, though constantly revolving plans in her mind and asking help of God to carry out some one of them. She was so young, however, that for... #story #kidsstory AcreSoft Story Classic acresoft.com acresoft.contactin.bio • Romans 8:33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect?

It was some days before Ethel's prayers seemed to be answered or the kind plans of Mrs. Keith and her mother could be carried out, for the children were forbidden to go over there. They were permitted to be out for only a short time each day for exercise, and were under strict orders to keep to the side of the parsonage grounds farthest from Mr. Keith's, though no reason was assigned.

Ethel had been greatly interested in Mrs. Weston's story of Washington and the Revolution. She was eager to hear more, and found both ladies of the Keith family kindly ready to gratify her whenever she was allowed to carry her needlework over there instead of doing it in the room in the parsonage appropriated to the use of herself, brother, and sisters. She was given very little time for recreation, so could not read much for herself on that or any other subject; perceiving... #story #kidsstory AcreSoft Story Classic acresoft.com acresoft.contactin.bio • Galatians 6:10 As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all [men], especially unto them who are of the household of faith.

Considering her extreme youthfulness, it was a hard and toilsome life that had now begun for Ethel.

Mrs. Weston had hardly finished what she was saying to Ethel when Mrs. Coote's harsh voice was heard summoning her young charges to their dinner. They hastened to obey, quite as much for fear that any delay would anger the woman and bring dire consequences upon themselves, as from a desire to satisfy their appetites.

It was a lovely day early in October, and the children enjoyed gazing out upon the landscape, so new to them, the gorgeous coloring of the forest trees particularly attracting their attention.

Things went pretty smoothly with the little orphans while their friend Mrs. McDougal stayed.

Doesn’t it seem that there’s a natural tendency to point out other people’s flaws? And isn’t the world of social media-driven interaction often just a platform for toxicity, hyper criticism, and judgment? These platforms can seem to grease the skids when it comes to vitriol, hate, and leveling hurtful criticism toward those who don’t look the right way, sound the right way, think the right way—right defined by often narrow definitions that are self-serving. But this is indicative of our own heart’s flaw, isn’t it? Making ourselves the jury and the judge can lock up our heart and soul by focusing our energies into a mindset that is draining and leads to personal disintegration. In this episode we look to some guiding principles that can help us develop far more life-giving patterns that will not only enhance our own lives, but perhaps even change the world in authentic ways. Bible verses referenced: The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit. (Book of Proverbs 18:21) The words of the reckless pierce like swords, but the tongue of the wise brings healing. (Book of Proverbs 12:18) The soothing tongue is a tree of life, but a perverse tongue crushes the spirit. (Book of Proverbs 15:4) With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse human beings, who have been made in God’s likeness. Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers and sisters, this should not be. (Book of James 3:9-10) “Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.” (Gospel of Matthew 5:7) “Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn…Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when you yourself fail to see the plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.” (Gospel of Luke 6:37, 41-42) So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you… (Gospel of Matthew 7:12) “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” (Gospel of Matthew 6:19-21) Attributions: “God Badge” from the album “Fiction Family Reunion” by Fiction Family. https://soundcloud.com/fiction-family “Dreamer” by Alaskan Tapes. https://soundcloud.com/alaskantapes https://alaskantapes.bandcamp.com --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/john-armstrong4/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/john-armstrong4/support
