    Looking for suggestions

    That looks like a good one. I see why it has a Portally feel about it - it is designed by a former Valve employee who was one of the lead designers of Portal. And wait - John de Lancie is in it? Man, that guy turns up everywhere.

    Who is your favorite pony?

    So I thought. Then one day I watched the show. I still can't decide on a favorite pony. I usually lean towards Twilight or Fluttershy, but now and then I am in kind of a Pinkie Pie mood. The problem is that the ponies are just too complex of characters to simply pick a favorite. Hmmm, I just...

    My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

    I love that song. That was such a good episode, too. I still haven't decided on a favorite pony. I thought Twilight was for a while, and then Pinkie Pie. But then I became fascinated by Fluttershy. Now it kind of bounces between those three.

    Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol

    My family and I have a tradition every year to watch as many versions of A Christmas Carol as we can find. My favorites are the ones starring George C. Scott, Patrick Stewert, Reginald Owen, and the musical with Albert Finney. I wasn't too impressed with Magoo, although it has it's moments.

    My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

    Yay! There's bronies on this forum! It's interesting what you say about the love of God and the episodes of MLP. I am now and then reminded of scripture when I watch, especially when I see the ponies who are so willing to sacrifice anything for their friends. They even show love and...

    5/23/12

    Just a few thoughts. This is the first time I have posted in this blog. I have never been much of a blog person, I guess. Anyway, things have certainly changed in the past few months. Last fall I might as well have been dead, as far as my emotional state was concerned, although I was probably...

    More tests for my grandfather

    Thank you all. Still no results yet, but tomorrow is going to be nerve wracking. We'll all jump whenever the phone rings. But it is a great help to know that God is in control - although you can't help being worried about something that might be painful even if you know only good can come from...

    More tests for my grandfather

    He is going in today for a CT scan of his head. He has been having some strange symptoms lately, and the doctor wants to do a scan. I'm not sure why, although it is possible that he fears the thyroid cancer that he had spread to the brain. Prayers are appreciated.

    At last! I can serve God by being an internet junkie!

    This is one of a few similar sites I have found. They donate money to a charity of your choice (in my case Gideons International) every time you do a web search. This one is found at www.goodsearch.com.

    Is it wrong to watch TV shows on Youtube?

    I have read that from a legal standpoint, Youtube has a disclaimer that frees the viewers from any liability for watching videos that are posted in violation of copyrights. So technically, if I were to watch a TV show for free on Youtube, it would not be stealing in the eyes of the law. But in...

    Christians against marriage

    I do think that people should trust God about marriage. I don't think that God prefers people to be single (in fact, He said it is not good for man to be alone) but I don't think He wants people to get married just for the sake of getting married. Paul said that he wished everyone were single...

    having a really hard time coming to grips with the fact....

    21 is way to young to get married, in my opinion. Unless the right person comes along, of course. But such things aren't up to us, I don't think. I think if God wants us to get married, He will direct us to the right person. I'm 25 years old and have never dated. This used to really distress...

    Adam's Venture (Episode 1)

    I must say, this game looks like fun. Unfortunately, as with most things I try to download to my Windows 7 laptop, it doesn't run properly. I can't seem to find a support forum for the game, and I wonder if anyone here knows some routine tricks I can try to get this to work. Here's my problem...

    Has anyone here helped the homeless,beggars...etc?

    People have occasionally gotten after me for giving money to people who ask me for it. The trouble is, I realize, that many people who ask for money really don't need it and/or ought to work for it. But I also realize that however rare it may or may not be, some people really do. As the saying...

    Ovarian Cyst

    Hello, My cousin is going to have surgery this thursday to remove an ovarian cyst. She has a condition that can lead to the development of such cysts, but it is worrisome to us because she has a history of cancer. Also, she wants very badly to have a child at some point but has not been able...

    Believing with my whole heart?

    But I don't have faith that Jesus died for me, because I may not be elect. See how that works? The human mind has a great capacity to doubt, especially if you are someone like me who has an anxiety disorder. And as for the heart - well, as it says in the book of Jeremiah, "who can know it"?

    Believing with my whole heart?

    I read the link on this website about becoming a Christian, and it said that I accept the gift of salvation by "believing with my whole heart that Jesus Christ died for me". That's all very well and good, but I have a couple of problems with this: (1) According to limited atonement theology...

    Thyroid tumor

    Things have been looking a bit better. His mind has cleared for the most part. It may have been a medication issue, or lingering effects of anasthetic. It isn't clear what the problem was, but it seems to be over. However, the doctor now thinks there may be more cancer. My grandfather had a...

    Thyroid tumor

    Another update. My grandfather had a setback today. He has become a lot more confused and incoherent, and at some point in the afternoon his oxygen exchange dropped from the 90's (where it is supposed to be) to 40. Anything less than the mid 80's is considered to be too low. At the same time...
