    Throwing myself into prayer ... The ferguson/ Michael brown indictment

    I am from this area and have participated in some of the peaceful protesting. It appears as though the indictment decision is coming down very soon. My heart is heavy and my soul is weary. Regardless of opinion, a man is dead. A community is more divided. Extreme racism is no longer dormant...

    Just prayers for my family

    My marriage has been struggling for a few years. Lately, it's been really tense and awful and it was like my husband couldn't even speak to me. A few weeks ago he announced that he was miserable and thinking of leaving. I had a lot of reasons to suspect an affair but after 16 years of marriage...

    Everyone else's sins

    Everyone else's sins

    I heard some sins referred to as uber sins.....and yeah, here I think it's homosexuality more than premarital sex. The only people I know that have an issue with premarital sex are on this board. In real life, I know no one that takes a stance opposed to it...and I know a fair share of...

We are still in the house together but I'm 99% sure he's started an affair and now he says that he's...

    Body piercing

    Because they are slightly offensive. You are painting a lot of people with a very large condescending brush. I'm not really wanting to argue....I love you sister....I'm just defending others that I love as well from what, imo, is a misrepresentation of their character and intentions.
