#WIPjoy Days 25-26 & A Shameless Plug

I'm playing catch-up again on my blog. I managed to post my response to yesterday's challenge. But my daughter and I got lost wading through all the scholarship opportunities (for the second time) that don't apply to her. <wry grin> There were a few that might, though. I honestly can't believe it's so hard to find them. And grants are even harder to dig out. But I'm a firm believer that God provides what we need. He has never failed me yet. Continue reading to see my responses to the last two challenge days.

#WIPjoy Day 25 - Which character is most religious? Which is the least?

I'm loving these most/least comparisons. I had to consider "religious" in a broader sense for this challenge. The Poten and the Guardian are both religious leaders but their manner of service is completely different. The first goes through the motions to get what he wants, which is more power. The second goes through the motions because they keep her focused on her task to lead the Children the way the Creator wants her to. She's more spiritually religious.
Zec and the other male younglings in the story are the characters I chose for 'least religious'. They haven't gotten old enough yet to form meticulous habits or even, perhaps, to see the value of such a thing.
I almost added Liha to that category, but she has been raised with Guardian Haya Ne all her life. She practices the form of religion she was taught. She's not as religious as Haya Ne but she's well on her way.

#WIPjoy Day 26 - Which character is most confident? Least confident?
