Dear Joshua,
You can have it postmarked by March 31. But you might want to get it there sooner just in case…

1st?!?!?!?!
Allen on March 24th, 2010 - 7:00pm
I love AIO! Connie is inspiring in so many ways. Please put detailed biographies of the new characters on the website. These new characters seem interesting, especially Matthew and Emily. They are unlike any of the other child characters, except for Marvelous Marvin in No Way In and No Way Out. I wonder if they will meet up with Harlow Doyle? That would certainly be fun!
daniel on March 25th, 2010 - 7:27am
i love adventures in odyssey

fumiko on March 25th, 2010 - 6:01pm
Hmm, Idea Splat huh, That’s a really creative way to brainstorm, I’ll remember that. And I loved what all the callers said that was hilarious! I can hardly wait to see the finalists in the Act Like Odyssey Contest! Hope I’ve heard enough episodes that I know where they are from.
Freddy Jay on March 25th, 2010 - 7:31pm
I really like all the entries that were sent in. Especially the unconventional entries. Very funny.
goldhunterx on March 26th, 2010 - 7:45am
what is this thing all about? who’s christopher maselli? i guess i’ll have to listen to it later when school is over. i’m homeschooled, though.
Jake on March 26th, 2010 - 12:52pm
I don’t know if you will be able to answer this, but I was wondering, how did Eugene remember that he was a Christian in “A Most Extraordinary Conclusion”? He started praying with Whit after he got out of the Imagination Station, but, he wouldn’t of known how to, because he became a Christian WHILE he was in Odyssey, not before or after.
Thanks! Jake
REbecca on March 27th, 2010 - 3:32pm
Connie inspired me with her love for people.
LEANNE on March 28th, 2010 - 2:21pm
Good Question Jake! I guess we’ll never know the answer though.
rebeckah on March 28th, 2010 - 2:32pm
To Jake:
Being a Christian is not something one knows in his mind, but in his heart. I think the answer is that Eugene only lost his mind memory. He may have forgotten the exact circumstances around his becoming a Christian, but he still knew that God was living inside of him. That’s my thought on your question.
Allen on March 29th, 2010 - 8:40am
Jake
I imagine that the fact that Eugene was a Christian was one of the things that Whit and Dr. Foster told him. Then again, maybe it was Tom, Connie or Bernard. It seems like Tom or Whit though. Hope that helps!
someone on March 29th, 2010 - 12:51pm
good question. could it be that because he knew jesus from odyssey till he lost his memory and whit only said that the memory of odyssey was lost not the week before so he would remember a month or so ago he was a Christian then. but my question is if he had memory of his youth and the couple months why is it that he could not remember odyssey?
abby on March 29th, 2010 - 4:27pm
i heard myself! i did the song connie kendill inspires me!
i can’t believe it!i was sooooooo close!
abby on March 29th, 2010 - 4:32pm
eugene prayed with tom,bernerd,jack,and connie. whit was in the middle east. and i don’t know how to answer that ouestion exept that connie,tom,whit,and his other friends could remind him. i forget but whit or someone else (maybe eugene) said they would pray for him.does that help jake?
REBEKAH on March 29th, 2010 - 5:51pm
hey guys when they say they will put the top 10 videos so people can vote,would ‘nt everyone just vote for themselves ?
REBEKAH on March 29th, 2010 - 5:53pm

Lydia on March 29th, 2010 - 7:25pm
I love Odyssey! Very funny audio clips!
MICHELLE on March 30th, 2010 - 7:41am
im writing this while im listening it.
MICHELLE on March 30th, 2010 - 7:54am
Good question Jake,
when Eugene became a christian, it was one of the first ones.
When he lost his memory it was later.
I think he would remember that because whit said that he could remember a month ago and Eugene was a christian longer then that.
glad i could help
-Michelle
abby on March 30th, 2010 - 8:27am
someone, thats a good question. i don’t have the correct answer, but maybe the odyssey writers do. and God knows too. but here is my answer.
when he was out of odyssey he knew he was a christian, so when his memory was erased of odyssey he still could remember he was a christian,because he was out of odyssey and knew he was a christian. does that help? it is hard to explain.
Chels! on March 30th, 2010 - 7:24pm
Ok Odyssey, love the new theme!!! I wasn’t sure about it at first, but it is amazing!! I always get the urge to dance whenever I hear it – it has a catchy beat!
Chels! on March 30th, 2010 - 7:27pm
Jake
I’ve thought the same thing myself. But I think that his memories were kind of surface, while being a Christian went deeper. He probably felt his connection with God, just as he also felt his former connection with the Odyssey gang.
Well that’s my theory.
Olivia :) on March 31st, 2010 - 10:10am
It’s good, but kinda corny with the music in the background.
Jacob on March 31st, 2010 - 11:26am
How Connie inspires me?

Xobeo on March 31st, 2010 - 2:04pm

jazmyne on April 1st, 2010 - 4:19pm

yah i love connie too!!
jason whitak on April 4th, 2010 - 7:11pm
she even saved novacom,wait that was mitch
Abbie on April 5th, 2010 - 11:34am
Jake: I think maybe as he prayed, memories began coming back. He suddenly remembered that he had prayed with Jack Allen before. Then he remembered everyone else coming in. Kind of like that saying- prayer always works.
(I hope this helps.)
Connie fan on April 5th, 2010 - 4:59pm
I like the brain splat idea. I am going to try that with my homework!
rachael on April 6th, 2010 - 1:43am
That is soooo funny when the kids say what Connie taught them. I LOVE CONNIE!!!!!!!!!

Odysseyfan#1 on April 7th, 2010 - 5:19pm
Rebekah, I entered!
Jojo on April 7th, 2010 - 6:04pm
Great podcast. luv connie. kinda impulsive, grumpy, tardy, etc. at times but hey!…thats what we all are?
I wonder…will AIO have more contests???????
nature lover on April 8th, 2010 - 3:51pm
Jake, that’s a really good qusetion. I’ve thought about that myself actually. Eugene became a Christian in “The time has come ” which as you said was before he lost his memory. I concluded that one of the other characters could have told him; he could have just known it though. Being a Chistian gives an assured feeling.
MiaPia on April 10th, 2010 - 12:51pm
Who thinks this is like a AIO facebook page????
MiaPia on April 10th, 2010 - 12:52pm

I didn’t make it on this episode, but I’m on another! I got to record some of the background sound effects for the rapids scene of Only By His Grace! It was during my birthday party at Focus on the Family! It was a great gift from my mom, and the folks at Odyssey. Thanks Odyssey!
