Anna thought about it. “Maybe you could do something similar to Ben. Like remembering all the moons of Saturn or something.”

“Saturn does have the most moons,” Gerald considered.

“So, is that it?” Quinn asked.

“Or I can add Jupiter too,” Gerald said. “Yes.”


At the same time, Daria was talking to Brittany.

“A marmoset?” Daria asked, rhetorically after Brittany had answered her about the fad. “I suppose they are cute, in a way.”

“That is one reason,” Brittany responded as she opened her Math textbook.

“But what are you considering regarding O’Neill’s assignment?”

“As I said, the science thing.”

“Sure,” Daria said. “But in what branch of science?”

“Botany, maybe? Try to tell the difference between different kinds of plants.”

“That would be a good start.”


The Enigma paused her patrol on the roof of the Historia half an hour after school had let out. Lawndale was quiet, but she knew that the tensions were still beneath the service, and she had prevented a mugging on Dega Street.

‘The muggers still think they wont get caught,’ she thought as she looked at that street. But she knew that she and the other heroes were making a difference. She turned and looked at Oscorp tower, which loomed ominously to the southeast. ‘Osborn may know who I am, but he hasn’t really done anything with that.’

Then there was the fact that she hadn’t really confronted SpiderGirl yet. ‘It will happen soon, I’m sure of it,’ she thought. She then changed to the ordinary Sandi and headed down to the café.


Stacy Rowe was having a normal afternoon working at the Historia. It was relaxing compared to the school day. The animal fad had her slightly more anxious than usual. She shook her head as she saw Sandi come up to the counter. “Your usual, Sandi?”

“Yes.”

“It will be ready shortly,” Stacy said before pausing. She then added. “Thanks.”

“Thanks for what?” Sandi asked in surprise.

“For not asking the question nearly everyone else has been asking.”

“I’m tired of it too.”


Sandi sat next to a window and looked out across the street at Zammit’s Boutique. ‘How long is it since I have been there?’ she wondered. She saw that they still didn’t have the SpiderGirl knockoff clothes that had arrived the previous week. ‘I don’t think they have been selling.’

Daria considered Harry’s remark. ‘Not that harmless,’ she considered. She could see how some of her peers might have favorites that would cause them to be teased about it. “It’s at best, a distraction,” she said.

“A distraction from what has been going on since Groundhog Day?” Jane asked.

“Yes,” Daria responded. “A very Lawndale thing to do. Something earth shattering happens. They try to get on as if nothing happened.”

“Not everyone is like you, Daria,” Sandi said.

“That’s certainly true. But the town’s changed, and most of the students are trying to ignore it,” Daria said.

“Not entirely true,” Jane said. “Remember what happened after the fake interview?”

Daria recalled that nearly all of the students had called around when the fake interview had aired, and they had managed get a copy of the interview within a few hours. “Good point.”

“And then there’s Mr. O’Neill’s latest brainstorm,” Jane added.

“Ugh!” Sandi said. “He’s foisted it on the junior class too. I have no idea what to succeed or fail at.”

“We could talk about that later,” Daria said.

“Sure,” Sandi said.


‘Is Daria just trying to make sure we’re focused?’ Harry wondered. He thought about what had happened since he had arrived in Lawndale.


Daria saw Tori exit the server area. ‘I should ask her about it now.’ She got up.

“Daria?” Jane asked.

“Tori’s here.”

Peter considered webslinging back to Glen Oaks Lane, but decided against it. Spider-Man appearing in Lawndale would draw too much attention. ‘But I can still get there quickly. Maybe Claire is still here.’


Claire was surprised when Peter came up to her. “Peter?”

“I need a lift,” he said.

“Why? Lawndale has a good bus service.”

“I need to get to Glen Oaks Lane quickly.”

“Is that where you’re staying?” Claire asked.

“Yes.”

“I’ll take you.”


Brittany pulled up into the Morgendorffers’ driveway. “See, five minutes. I guess they’re out the back,” she said as she turned off the engine, while also twirling a pigtail.

“Yes,” Quinn answered.

“In the yard?” Stacy asked.

“Yes, we don’t need to go through the house,” Daria said a she got out.


Kaelyn emerged from the TARDIS as Quinn lead the group around the side of the house past the kitchen door. “Kim and Ron have gone home overnight,” she said.

“But has the Doctor found more?” Daria asked.

“Yes, but it’s best that he explains it.”

“We still need to wait for Peter,” Quinn said.

Hebrews 12:1 - 3
Christian Growth is not optional

Everything in our world takes time.

Salvation is just the start.
Justification takes an instant - because of what Jesus has already done.
Sanctification takes a lifetime.

Christian growth
Spiritual maturity
Spiritual growth
Spiritual formation
Becoming more Christ-like
Growing in Faith

What it is is more important than what it is called

Christian growth is the process of becoming more like Christ, deepening in faith, bearing the fruit of the Spirit, God's word, prayer and the work of the Holy Spirit.

Romans 8:29
2 Peter 3:8
Ephesians 4:22 - 24
Colossians 1:9, 10

Great Cloud of Witnesses
The cloud is associated with God's presence
E.g. God guiding the Israelites through the wilderness after the Exodus.

Run with perseverence the race that is worked out for us.

Make Jesus Christ your model.
