    What disability do you have?

    Polio here. Effects both my legs, my left arm, and one lazy lazy eye.... can't seem to get that bad boy to see what the right eye is seeing. I'm 41 and I gather that is rare for Polio. Caught it at 6 months old while my father was stationed in Vietnam.

    doubting Gods existince after years of belief

    I kinda scanned through all the pages and there were quite some good replies. All I can say is that you most certainly are not alone, not rejected, and not judged by those who have an ounce of biblical empathy. My best friend back in my college days led me to Christ. He had such a zeal for...

    Pop up books

    Hey TamaraLynne, I went to a gallery where the artists used pop up mechanics to make great works of art. When I went to say "Hi" to him I realize I owned one of his "How to" books on pop-ups. It's a great book and basically runs through almost all the mechanics with actual pop ups. I gather...

    Most heart-wrenching anime ever?

    Definitely "Grave of the Fireflies" I thought it was a Miyazaki film from the research I did before watching it, but I think it was just put out by Studio Ghibli. I had no idea I was watching the very slow starvation of two innocent kids. That is one I could never re-watch. It was just too...

    I started using an e-cigarette

    My wife and I both smoked but when we decided to quit she was able to Cold Turkey. Me though… that's another story. I tried cold turkey for a few months, and the cravings never left me. I could not see lasting more months in the cold sweats I was having so I gave in. I tried the gum...

    how many chapters I should read in the bible

    Most bibles have a reading plan that will help you read the bible in 365 days. I had a friend that did that and he had a giddy sense of joy knowing he read the bible front to back for the first time in his life. Check your own bible to see if it has one. For myself personally I know I can't...

    Anyone else missing the 70s

    I was more a child of the 80's and adopted the 90's scene, but my very early childhood was in the 70's. I miss the color schemes. For some reason there is a a certain hughes of color that yells 70's. Maybe it's pastels, maybe it's mixed with fluffy white. Either way when I see it at an antique...

    The memory lane thread :)

    41 here so I qualify!!! Definitely was an Atari 2600 fan, along with that old Pong machine that costed 100s of dollars back then. Old Disney live action like the "Black Hole" "Tron"

    Bible Study

    Listening to the Bible was my answer. I grew up failing everything academic from 5th grade upward. When asked to study the Bible, I had no idea how or where to start. I listened to the "Inspired By" series for the new testament and it just brought to life God's word like I could never...

    Dub or Sub?

    I've had a chance to listen to dubbed while reading the direct translations at the same time. I gotta admit that the difference is astonishing at times... but very forgivable for me. Unless they are only using Google Translate and I hear "Monkey Strong bowels, donkey donkey" dubbed is definitely...

    New and saying Hi :)

    Very new to the forums here, but wanted to drop by and say hello. Not a new Christian but still very new to photography. Neat little side story: I was living life very miserably. Everyday was filled with fear and regret. Very much a believer in Christ but not a believer that God...

    Dub or Sub?

    Definitely Dubbed for me. While I can watch a subtitled anime, I always get the feeling I am missing out on some good animation because I am stuck reading.
