Sure it is. For those who understand why God created sex...what sex was meant to be...

The question seems to be asked in the most ironic of situations. In a sexually-charged society where the media basically sells this idea that if you're not having sex...you must be a nerd or someone inferior to the promiscuous...

The idea crossed my mind, although I'm sure it's been used many times...

You can't watch the cooking channel for several hours a day and then wonder why you're hungry.
Likewise, you can't put trash into your mind and wonder why you're lusting.

So for a world to be in this state and to slam abstinence?
Abstinence is not the problem. It's the way we've slowly been manipulated to view sex as a source of one's own pleasure/power.

Do we all lust? We can.
And we could not.

People claim that Christianity is brainwashing. Really...I see it the other way around. The kinds of things we settle for in our lives that the world sells us seems to be the more hazardous of the "ideas"...in my opinion.
Of course, there are those who have taken Christianity and dwarfed it beyond recognition...but I'm not comparing religion (which is human-made) with secularism.
I'm comparing God's way and human's way called secularism. Really...we're just going down the drain if you really think sex is all there is to live for.
It's not about lust and get all you can. Do it, and see what kind of destruction you leave behind you. ]]> * kittie * http://www.christianforums.com/blogs/u4850-e10157/ http://www.christianforums.com/blogs/u98028-e10156/ Sat, 07 Nov 2009 19:15:13 GMT UGH!! got... to... get.... through... with... this.... paper...

I was told to read the book of job and someone said it related to me in my time of need. So I read it and in some ways it does relate to me. The story of Job was about him loosing alot of the stuff he had but even though he lost all the stuff he loved he still put his trust in the Lord. So I know I got to look at myself and relate that to my situation. Maybe the Lord is making me go through alot of the stuff I am going through so I learn to trust him more and know that everything will turn out ok and in the end I will be blessed and learn to appreciate the things I have alot more then I already do.

My husband never knew that I escaped the possible life of drugs, street peddling and prostitution because of my scholarships.

My husband was always aware that it was the scholarships that allowed me to get my education from elementary school to my college years at the University of the Philippines in Diliman, Quezon City.

I would always express to my husband the gratitude I felt to those that helped me as I shared my dreams of how I would someday help other children.

“I never knew!” He said out loud, with a look of shock on his face.
“What?” I said. Fearing the answer would somehow change our world.
And my husband’s answer did change our world forever…

He said, “Living in America, I always took for granted that education was free and available to every child. Then I learned that in the Philippines,poor families that can barely put food on the table are left with the choice of eating or giving their children an education.”

He continued by saying, “What a painful and horrible decision that is for a parent! Knowing that by choosing life they will condemn their children to a dark bleak future of poverty.”

My Husband held my hand, looked into my eyes and said,

“We will make your dreams of helping children come true”
“We will give children Scholarships and a chance at a new life”
“4 in the name of Jesus all things are possible”

And that is how Scholars4Jesus was born -
To give new life, to a dying generation of children.

All this stress just built up inside and now I have to go back home on saturday and things with my best friend are not the best right now. In the end I have to learn to trust in the Lord that he will help me through this tough time, he has gotten me this far I believe that he will help me see throug this rough patch in my life. If there is one thing I have learned being on my own and having the stress I have in my life is that I cant let it get me down and cant walk away from my faith because when no one else is there the Lord will always be there for me. ]]> Mandy19 http://www.christianforums.com/blogs/u252581-e10148/ http://www.christianforums.com/blogs/u247635-e10147/ Fri, 06 Nov 2009 03:10:10 GMT Are you in a need to start making lots of gold in Aion?

There are basically 2 ways to make lots of gold in Aion.
• Grind for materials.
• Start doing quests to make gold in Aion.
Start Making Gold In Aion By Grinding For Materials
A really great way to make lots of gold is to grind for materials, items or essences. However, keep in mind that this is a very boring and a very time consuming way of earning gold.
Also, you will need to be lucky with the drops. If you don't get good drops, then you can end up spending hours of grinding without obtaining expensive materials, items or essences.
Also, another downside on this is that if you go to the wrong places, you won't get the drops you need so it's always a need to go to the right places.
Start Making Gold In Aion By Doing Quests
This is also a great way to start making aion gold. When you do quests, you will get a reward for turning it in right? This can be only gold or gold plus an item. Once you sell those items to the vendors, you will get a nice amount of gold.
An other great thing to do is to combine this option with grinding. To do this successfully, it's highly recommended to only accept kill quests. This way, you will be doing your quests by killing creatures which can also drop some nice items.

Reminds me of a lot of the old stuff I used to listen to: sound & lyrics. And of course the gal dancing. My fave style of which I tried to reduplicate. Yes, I still wear shoes like that (can't stand gym shoes except for tennis):
YouTube - Suffer by Echoing Green Live @ Autobahn Fall Edition 06

YouTube - RED - DEATH OF ME


YouTube - Thousand Foot Krutch - Favorite Disease (Music Video) NEW


( I was in this spot, different problem but I remember looking at some religious people and thinking- I don't fit in with them. Then I realized most then were hypocrites and were doing the same things I was- no different than me other than they wanted to be stuck up about it, but yet still going to church.)
YouTube - Casting Crowns - Does Anybody Hear Her

(there is just so much in this. One point being once I was on the side of the killers, like them, they were they ones I houng out with. Then I became transformed to the side of the Rachael Scotts, whom I never thought I could be like. These people are my friends now. I didn't understand, I had it backwards in my thinking. I thought they were trying to be "perfect" so they could be somebody & justify their snobbery, that they thought they were better than others. I didn't realize most who are like that and don't do & do certain things (being religious) that it comes after- not to show off but because they have reasons to believe something is right or wrong)
YouTube - cassie flyleaf Video

Thankful for having a "Hero" in my life, who didn't treat me like trash. A little kindness goes a long way.
YouTube - Bullying and Depression: Two major factors that result in school shootings (Columbine Video)

So I remember...
YouTube - Rebecca St James - "You Are Loved" - christian electronic music

I hope I follow this pattern...(great biography BTW)
YouTube - Impact on Youth - Rachel's Challenge

Some years are gone by now (like in the Casting Crowns song,) and who knows what was wasted. Yet God can make up the years and make the best out of whats left. There is still some time left, and still many others in the same boat... ]]> ExtremeDays http://www.christianforums.com/blogs/u112757-e10143/ http://www.christianforums.com/blogs/u247435-e10142/ Thu, 05 Nov 2009 02:56:17 GMT Are you a sorcerer in Aion?

Are you a sorcerer in Aion? And would you like aion gold to start aion power leveling the fastest way if it is possible to aion kinah? If yes, then it is necessary to get aion gold what place you should enter and what quest to accept or refuse aion time card. But how do you know what place and what quest is good aion time card or bad? So today this Aion Sorcerer Guide is ready here to show you the way of aion power leveling fast. It includes:
First, Choosing The Best buy aion gold Places to Power Level A Sorcerer in Aion.
[FONT='Times New Roman','serif']In order to get your sorcerer leveled cheap aion gold in the fastest way, it is necessary to find out the best places. In fact most of the wow power leveling places are good, but some of them are quite terrible. Want to know why? There are 3 buy aion gold reasons. There are some quests, many creatures, and runs cheap wow gold from south to north, literally ages. If you're in a place, and you find wow power leveling the same character that I just said, then it is certainly not going. You can not rapidly and easily in this area. Then you have to move to another area.
Second, Accepting Good aion gold Quests to Power Level A Sorcerer in Aion. If you've found a great place to level, now it is time for us to collect the better aion kina quests. To get a clear understanding aion kinah of the quest[/font]，[FONT='Times New Roman','serif']whether it is good or bad, you can use the aion kinaInternet to check aion accounts, or do it by yourselves.
To find the aion cd key quests that are good or bad in person, you must take time to enjoy a aion cd key quest. If a quest costs about 10 to 15 minutes, then it is should be declined aion accounts. However, when a cheap aion gold quest takes about 5 minutes, then you should definitely go to finish wow gold.
It is also a good thing to accept that many good quests buy aion gold and finish them all at the same time. Then, you must provide when all quests are done.
But how can you pick up all the good quests and places without wasting too much time to research aion kina? You can use an aion leveling guide.
To obtain all of the aion gold information about where to go, who to talk to, what quests to choose, what aion item to get and what to kill without spending hours to research, all of the result can be found in the aion power leveling guide. So I strongly recommend to use the guide. An aion power leveling guide which has already pick up some cheap aion gold details that you need to start power leveling a sorcerer and will be delivered by a step by step leveling path is what you want now.
