It also shows how a bunch of small and innocent choices of the main character (Owen) lead to him having to make this really big choice when it comes to the vampire, similar to how you describe it.<br /><br />Reecehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10691425406901685427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-613387965721174471.post-74411162628068774952017-11-28T20:33:46.504-05:002017-11-28T20:33:46.504-05:00I liked this article a lot, especially the connect...I liked this article a lot, especially the connection with sin.<br /><br />Though I am not an evangelical, I do have a more hardened vision of sin than my coreligionist (Episcopalians).<br /><br />The key thing about sin is it almost always starts small.

This led them to think they should keep posting ads, even minutes apart. I think two comments advertising vampirism are sufficient to get the message out. Any vampires who are offended by this censorship should feel free to turn into a bat and fly to my house and kill me.Reecehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10691425406901685427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-613387965721174471.post-36476493621843688822015-05-20T19:45:46.707-04:002015-05-20T19:45:46.707-04:00I love that you left that comment there. :)I love that you left that comment there. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-613387965721174471.post-21684543085560469272014-12-18T16:32:29.945-05:002014-12-18T16:32:29.945-05:00No, seriously, anyone reading these comments:

The Americans wanted to use the shorter title "Let Her In", but the author objected that "her" is inaccurate.
