Questions Answered

  There is a new podcast; where Paul McCusker and Dave Arnold answer our questions. These are some of the questions are answered.  
When will Album 53 air?
 
What is the name of album 54? That album sounds like it will be excellent, by the theme.

Also you can now download the album, "Discovering Odyssey" for free!
 
And that is all I have time for. Be sure to pay attention on February 1, because there is supposedly a big announcement.

Heavenly Treasure

  Another Odyssey scene was released yesterday on the Odyssey scoopcast. Very exiting! It sounds really good. And there will be more exiting news coming out on the scoopcast soon. And just to let you know, I have no idea why font and size are different in some paragraphs.  
 
I was listening to the episode, "Treasures of the Heart," where Donna asks her family the question, if your house was on fire but you knew the family was safe, And you could rescue only one thing before the house burned down, what would you rescue? I started thinking about this question for myself. I looked around my room to see what was irreplaceable. I was having trouble deciding between a few things, pictures, my model rocket, my teddy bear and some sentimental rocks. But I decided on these two.

1. The first thing that I thought I would grab is my teddy bear, this is a weird one but I have had this, well... ugly teddy bear since I was two. My mom says that when I first got him he was actually cute but now you can see for yourself, he isn't. I take him wherever I go. He has been literally everywhere I have been. 

  That orange spot on his leg is a nightlight burn.  His name is Cotton Rally, I have no explanation for it. Even if I found a teddy bear that looked exactly like he did when I first got him he couldn't be what he is today, which is ripped, flat, and burned.

 

2. The second thing that I would grab is my little rock things. (I don't know exactly what to call them) But it is something that my dad has been making for me for ten years now. He gathers rocks or sand from a place that we traveled to that year and a picture of me there and put the picture in the little clear box and then put the rocks on top of that. The one on the left is from 2001 at Crater Lake, and the one on the left is from Bald Rock around 2005. I now have ten of them in all.

 I would love to hear you answer this question in the comments! Just remember that your real treasure is in heaven.

¹⁹ “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. ²⁰ But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. ²¹ For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."  Matthew 6:19-21

An Album 53 Scene!

  The newest Official AIO podcast came out yesterday. It includes an interview with the sound designer, Todd Busteed, they also announce the nominees for the Avery awards, but the highlight of the podcast was hearing the scene from album 53. This is the best podcast that we have heard in quite a while. I always love hearing about the upcoming album.

  We now know that we will hear from an old character, and some think it will be Jason while others are hoping for Richard Maxwell. And Katrina will be a big part in this 12 part story; I am really looking forward to that. But anyway definitely listen to this podcast.

My Odyssey Story

  I started collecting Adventures in Odyssey albums eight years ago, when I was six. The first album that I got was, "Secrets, Surprises and Sensational Stories," which is now it is called, "Heroes."  

  The Christmas right before I turned ten I completed my collection. That was all I got for Christmas that year. And since then I have gotten all of the albums right after they came out.
   To the right, is a picture of my beautiful collection. As you can see I have 18 albums on tape which is very inconvenient because I will someday need to buy them in CD. On the left of the big tower I put the nonofficial albums such as the, "Truth Chronicles," "The lost episodes," and "Passages: Dariens Rise." And on the right are the three albums that are in a weird form like albums, 44, 45, and 46. Which came it two parts.

  The tower was very shaky so I put the two pillows from my bed on the ground in case it fell.

  After I took them down I realized that I forgot to put in my, "Official Guide," and Odyssey shirt that I got when my family went to Whits End in Colorado Springs. So that is a picture of my almost full collection. I also have, "Answer That" the trivia game and I forgot to put that in the second one too.I never have gotten any of the books except one passages book and I forgot to put that in too! (I am remembering this as I go) And I don't have any of the movies either.

   Even though I haven't posted about it I have seen the new album 53 cover and I love it. I hope that the episodes will be as good as the cover!
