I see your measly $12,000 treehouse with half a basketball court and raise you this $7m treehouse with a 120-seat restaurant and gun turrets... #treehouse

Give me a treehouse like this and we can negotiate the terms of your surrender. #treehouse

I was taught this on Sunday school, and I'm neither catholic or protestant or whichever sub-dogma you're from, no offence intended, but greek orthodox. I thought it was a common lesson in all doctrines. Did you ever wonder if varying doctrines have different variations of the bible?
Also I find this a alittle too specific to be random coincinence, and I smell bull on your behalf. Where did you study "Religious Architecture"? Which year? #treehouse

So: you call bull on my architecture degree? Master's degrees are not like undergrad in that you don't exactly "major" like an undergraduate degree. My thesis project defines my work at the school (SCI-Arc, 2005, since you asked), and it was a year long project on religious architectural space, the culmination of which was a proposal for a sacred site in Spain, and during which I researched religious spaces including Biblical (non-extant) ones, and places that currently exist (from many religions, so for instance, St. Peter's in Rome, the Kabaah, the Wailing Wall). So yeah, no bull.
Additionally, I looked around the web for a bit and didn't find any reference to the story being different in the Greek Orthodox tradition, so I think your sunday school teachers may have been putting their own spin on it. If you can post a source showing that it is in fact different, I would be interested in seeing it.
(also, to note, I do not come from a Christian sub-dogma. I consider myself a non-denominational mono-theist. something like a deist, I suppose.)

Better to make like Lot and take things with a grain of salt more often. #treehouse

Later, once it's finally completed the town assessor will be around to re-evaluate your property. After all, they have to get their cut too. The resulting tax increase will most likely bankrupt you. Then comes the inevitable seizure of your property and eviction by the state. Your home goes into foreclosure, gets purchased by a developer who has the entire lot bulldozed to make room for one and two bedroom condos. #treehouse

Thing is I think it's reached the point of no longer being a house in a tree and become just a tree in a boring old house. Just takes a lot of the magic out of it. #treehouse

Thoughts for another time, he told himself for the thousandth time. The girls are amassing their cootie-laden army. We must prepare. And with that remembrance, he garnered just enough strength to soldier on for another day, doing what had to be done.
"Timmy!" he called in his most commanding voice. "Get the water balloons." #treehouse
