Nope, nothing like that...just useless at making pastry. Always seems to brown too fast, before the contents inside can cook throughly

Oven temperature is too high.

Re: Greetings to all

I'm enjoying the warm reception that I'm getting, Mr. Student - surely God has blessed me to bring me here!

Also, thank you for the name - it seems appropriate for a Christian woman. Let us pray that I do not fall unto temptation like the original Eve did.

Time to try baking a pie again, I guess - the last one failed miserably, heh

You aren't banging the oven door and making the pie drop, are you?

Hehe, I like your name - what does it mean, if anything?

Literally Lycia means woman from Lycia. Lycia was a country in Asia Minor and is mentioned in the New Testament. It partly lies in present day Turkey.

Re: Greetings to all

Well...I've always been pretty useless at baking, heh. It's something I'll have to work on. What I'd most like to be able to bake is a traditional apple pie - nothing beats it, except God.

I am alone in America - I moved here after my grandfather died, thus have no one to marry me off. Another reason for me to look for help on these boards.

And, about my name, I will have to pray on it. I don't think it's something I could decide.

I have a solution for you. Freya means woman or lady. It is the equivalent of Eve. No one here will doubt that Eve is a biblical name. From now on I think I will call you. The Roman counterpart of Freya was called the the Magna Mater, a title eventually given to Mary. But because of that close association with the Mary-worshiping, ring-kissing, altar-boy-raping papists, that name is not beloved here at Landover Baptist Church. So Eve it will be.

So Eve, how do you like your new name? And welcome to the friendliest place this side of anywhere.

Good morning Freya!

I am sure that there are many Landover men who will be happy to sample your pie when you are ready. Nothing like a nice, warm, moist, fresh pie!



I too am quite taken by the heartwarming story of your parents' death. I sometimes feel that if there were more "direct action" incidents like that, more people would come to the Lord.

Yours in Christ,

I assume you're talking to me?

My parents named me after a character in a poem by an old English playwright. It's been so long since I've even thought about this that I forget who the playwright was, though.

But really, I would have preferred something along the lines of "Ruth", "Deborah" or "Priscilla".

Your's in Him,

Lycia

Re: Greetings to all

It saddens me greatly that it took my parent's deaths to save my soul - and it saddens me further that I still miss them. I shall have to pray - it was God's love for me that caused it to happen.

On another note, I do have a question - my first name. Freya, a hommage to the Norse Pagan goddess of harlotry - what advice would you give me about this? Should I try my hardest to identify myself as something else, or live with it, knowing that my soul is saved, no matter my name?

Hey, if I could have chosen my name, do you think I would have picked something weird like "Lycia"?

I too know the shame of having Godmocker parents and being stuck with a strange, non-American name. My name is my name however, and changing it would be not be a good way to honor my mother and father, no matter how useless they are.

Just something to think about there.

EDIT: Of course, I am a woman, so what do I know!

Greetings, Freya! Or, may I say, "What's up, DOC?"

Sorry.

So far as your name goes . . . Are your parents Christian? If so, you should certainly consult with them out of respect. If not, then you should choose a name you feel suits you best. There are many Biblical names for women, like Ruth, or Rachel, or Esther, or Jezebel.

I would take a normal name like Rebbecca. You just can't be too sure.

Re: Greetings to all

Praise God and welcome, Freya. That is an exemplary introduction! Well done.

What is the best pie you bake? When will your grandfather marry you away and to who?
