One of my chickens laid her first egg. :)

I destroyed every last picture of me in my awkward teen years. I was one of those really dorky kids with the raging acne, bad hair, big coke bottle glasses...*shudder*. Although not wanting your picture taken isn't limited to the teen years. My 72 yo mother in law won't let us take her...

My dream for my marriage/family - already living it. My career dream - to win the lottery so I don't have to go to that place ever again. Not likely to happen but I can dream!! :p

Me too! The very first time I set foot in our new church last year it just felt like home. The messages in the sermons, the attitudes and actions of the congregation, it all just drew me in and made me feel like I was home. I look forward to Sunday mornings now.

My job.

Nope, my cruising days all took place in Minnesota!

Aww Angeldove that's so sweet! Ours was a "shotgun" engagement. We had been planning to get married and had picked out rings already, but DH wanted to wait for a special time to actually propose. As it was, my dad passed unexpectedly from a heart attack and my mom's health had deteriorated...

We didn't do anything for our 10 year. I think maybe we went out for dinner at Applebees. Romantic, I know! Lol. If you want to have your dad walk you down the aisle, DO IT!! I wish I could have had that, but my parents were both gone before I got married. Seize this opportunity while you can. :)

Back in the late 80s the thing for teenagers to do in our town was cruise Main street in our cars, and gather in various parking lots to talk & hang out (gas was cheap then!). I first met DH in the parking lot of an auto parts store. I didn't believe him when he told me his name, because he does...

Our pastor brought up this topic not too long ago, and I really love what he had to say. As the church is the body of Christ, and Christ is the head of the church, you can't have one without the other. A head needs a body and vice versa.

HI all, if you would, please include my dear friend Vanessa in your prayers. She has been struggling so much lately - the loss of her son this summer, he was in his early 20's and suddenly passed away from a heart condition. She is also struggling through the aftermath of a painful divorce...

Lifting you up in prayer now. (((hugs)))

I stumbled across the book not too long ago: The Bible, Genesis & Geology I originally got it because at the time it was free, and I had never heard much about the "Gap Theory" before so was kind of curious. But coincidentally enough I am just to a point in the book where the author is...

Hi Forge, I don't think you've ever scanalized me, but I just wanted to say that it took a lot of courage to post this. You are not weak, quite the contrary! There is no shame in getting medical help for a medical condition. You are doing what you must to be healthy. I hope you are able to...

If I get annoyed or angry at him, I do the same as Seeingeyes - get away, by myself, so that I can think about the issue and come to a place of calmness. I don't want to inadvertently say something I'll regret in the heat of anger, so it's best if I have time to cool off. Then, if after...
