    Do you believe marriage will solve everything?

    Having been married, I can honestly say it's a mixed blessing. It comes with negatives, sure - frustrations, hurt feelings, disagreements and sometimes heated arguments. There is something that it solves - if you marry the right person. If you've never felt unconditionally loved, never felt...

    Ever laugh at a "prepper"?

    Sure it counts if it includes things you need for basic survival such as water, food, a fuel source and some sort of weapon to keep you and your loved ones safe from desperate looters/robbers and others who would take advantage of the chaos. You thought I was high when I wrote that, didn't...

    Exercise!

    Is that all in one session or just for the day? My shoulders and back are sore today - but legs, not so much. I did sort of a wimpy squat workout. On the schedule for today: Nada for exercise except a brisk walk later on.

    Compliment the Person Above You

    I've heard (I could be mistaken??) Squeaker's writes and her music is worth a listen. Not that I've heard it. Link me, baby. :cool:

    Intimacy, sex & christian dating

    Even with knowledge of Scripture, it doesn't ensure that whatever advice or council one receives is going to be the best. Simply advising someone to take the council of a pastor, because he's a pastor just seems way too trusting to me. He or She may or may not give good advice, the advice...

    What are you doing right now? (4)

    Getting frustrated. I cannot update my Windows. "Windows Update" is missing from the Services folder. I'm searching the net and am not sure which solution to try, or trust. Grr.

    You think so? What do you think it says? How do you know I am not putting myself in the position of the OP (or her SO) for the sake of asking a question that would be a hypothetical from my own personal POV? As for "Godly council" - unless you've attended one church all your life - one...

    You shouldn't assume anything about anyone on a message board. About what I know, what my experiences are, or anything else. ;)

    What is your favourite car ?

    Hmm. Cool. I like it. But not quite spacious enough. What if I want to buy a large ice chest? Might mean I'd have to rent a trailer just to get it home. Doesn't interest me. If I was to track ride, I'd be more interested in a dirt bike on a hilly dirt track. Done that before - it's fun.

    A Biblical perspective on physical intimcacy

    Romans 3 NIV1984 - God’s Faithfulness - What advantage, - Bible Gateway Read verses 9-18. Scroll down that page and go to footnotes. Check sources. And I agree with your statement, btw - and just because he's Paul, doesn't mean he gets a pass.

    Intimacy, sex & christian dating

    Hi Jess :wave: No, I don't give trust or assume higher or "Godly" advice from any person simply because they hold the role of pastor at a church, priest, deacon, or anything else. As far as what the bible has to say about it - the chances are great that 1) I'm already aware...

    What is your favourite car ?

    I'm not interested in having a status symbol, or being able to rack up speeding tickets quick, so my favorite car: Is low maintenance Easy and cheap to replace parts Gets fair to good mileage Is reliable Isn't pink Big enough to allow me to drive comfortably Beyond that, I...

    Do you find yourself to be more feminine or masculine?

    From a cultural basis? Oh gee, do I really need to answer? I hate cultural expectations that determine how men and women are supposed to act. I eat vegetables. To some of my friends - they scoff and consider this either "rabbit food" or "female's food". Like a man is defined by eating a...

    Well, in a sense I agree and in a sense I don't agree, but only about the implication of the "slippery slope" (someone tell me they see the pun in that given the context of this discussion! haha!) I agree that it can be a big big mistake. There's no doubt. Sex creates a deep bond between...

    Intimacy, sex & christian dating

    This is a curious statement. May I ask a question and have you not take offense? Have you ever been in a more-than-friends relationship with a female where you and her were completely and totally chaste? If so, for how long? Broadly speaking - it isn't uncommon at all for people to begin...

    Torah, Food & Bugs: Which Kosher Insects Would You Be Comfortable Eating?

    OP Title: None, at first. It's not in my cultural upbringing, so I'd have to get through that barrier. I'd start with locusts or grasshoppers, properly cooked - and decapitated, as it doesn't sound appealing to eat the heads. Maybe with a little mustard and/or salsa. :yum: That could...
