Follow up to the previous question
I have responded to Marc's question in a PM. If others would like to discuss, please PM me. I'm open to discussion but have no desire to enter into divisive debates that detract from the general feelings of goodwill associated with our winter holiday...
The cross and the nativity
Mixing the two is not contradictory when you truly understand the reason for both. The Bible clearly states that God's plan of salvation for mankind and the restoration of man's relationship with Him was to be through Himself coming to earth in the form of a man and...
I also will pray
You, your husband, both of your families as well as your husband's comrades will be in my prayers. If you have specific issues you would like to be lifted up in prayer, please don't hesitate to let me know. May you feel the Presence of the God of Peace even as you read these...
Taking a different course
I won't debate the pros and cons of the war but I would like to talk about my time in the military. I served in the Navy from 1978-83. No war, some threats of conflict. I would say that I faced death on several occassions by being on a 100' boat 250 miles out in the...
No to EVP!
I think that there are many things we are not (yet) capable of understanding. Now we see through a glass dimly, one day we shall see clearly. I also think that some in this forum have tried awfully hard to convince others to see things their way. That becomes particularly...
No! No! No!
I am in agreement with less government involvement in my personal life. Maybe then they could take care of other issues that they should be handling already. Dealing with the budget deficit, illegal aliens (security concern alone should make it a priority), reduction of dependence...
Farm hand and bag boy
Being raised in central Ohio, work on neighboring farms was my first money job. The first real paycheck was working as a grocery bagger in Zanesville at Big Bear. I remember having to wear a tie. I also remember trying to mop up a spilled gallon of oil in one of the...
Yes! With or without a map!
I can find my way around with relative ease no matter where I happen to be. I really found out about my sense of direction in the Navy. I was on a small boat that traveled a couple hundred miles out & back in the Atlantic. Many times we would be going out when I...
Interesting and thought provoking
It is indeed an interesting topic that has been discussed with dignity and respect for all points of view. I just wanted to throw out a question (or two). If evolution is true and we are all "just animals", where did the concept of a moral conscience come...
Creation is what I believe
Many folks have referenced the Answers in Genesis website. Take an objective look and analyze the facts. Seek truth and you'll find it. Look for ways to support your own ideas, you'll find that too. I know that I personally have experienced changes in my life that...
You do what you have to
When I'm in the middle of what you describe, I go as I am and get what I need. I don't have the time to clean up, change, etc. I go straight to the place to get what I need and straight back. They all know at Lowe's Home Depot or what ever, that many, if not most...
Me Too!
Yep 7 1/2 & long oval too! Glaad to see there's more of us than I thought! With all those dinky hats on ebay, I thought I was an abnormality....Well, uh maybe not because of my hat size but inspite of it!:eusa_doh:
Born in 1960
Yep. 45. Got daughters of 23, 12 and 9. Also a 1 1/2 y.o. GRANDSON! The age messes with my mind some but when I became a GRANDPA it hit like a ton of bricks! (The greying hair was kind-of a giveaway too!) Hey, you may not be as young, or old, as you feel, but you're ask old as...
Why do we read what we do?
Intersting going back and reading these posts on this topic. Good books, bad books, moral, immoral, character traits of the authors and how they affect the book etc. The answers to many of these questions may be found in why do you read and what are you looking for...
Who's the idiot?
No doubt the guy has issues. My concern is that he was able to capture the attention of so many people who didn't have anything more productive to with their time. Not to mention all the $$ spent on promoting it. It's a sad commentary on our society!:(
Mr. Nick
Mine's a lot like Mr. Jason. Nick is my name and a few years ago it seemed everyone started referring to me with the "Mr." attached. I'd like to think it was because they thought I had culture and poise but more likely I resemble some ol' codger!lol
It is true that my body seems...
