    American Girl Dolls?

    Hi! I was wondering if any of you collect American Girl dolls and their clothing/accessories/furniture? They're really a great company that I'm proud to support with my collection of 11 dolls and counting. (Other then being affliated with Girls Inc., which is pro-life, they have set a great...

    Cross-stitchers

    Hi everyone! I discovered cross stitching several years ago and now it's a favorite thing to do to unwind and let my mind kind of go still for awhile. As a writer, sometimes I need to shut down the thinking process for a bit and just relax, lol. I'm currently working on a portrait of Christ...

    Christians who leave the faith.

    Okay...this discussion is kind of discouraging to someone who was raised Catholic, wandered for a decade and then came back to Christ. So where do I stand? Do I have a future with the church or was I never a Christian to begin with since I did fall from my beliefs? Am I not forgiven for my...

    Is a denomination that important?

    Well, honestly, I was raised Catholic, but after recently being formally 'saved' I'm finding some of the traditions and beliefs a little restricting compared to other denominations. So next weekend I'm going to try a Episcopalian church and see where it goes. I believe Christ is Christ and as...

    I raise my two daughters in the Catholic Church.

    Keep praying and hoping! I had a rough time with faith after being sexually abused, to a point I was lured into semi-occult practices, but Jesus didn't give up on me and he won't give up on your daughters either! He's right there, and He'll be there still when they realize they were wrong and...

    Approaching teens interested in Metal and occult

    Well, I think it needs to be said that not ALL teens/etc. who are into Metal are not heading towards Satanism. I think that's an unfair generalization. A guy I dated for two years was a good Christian and huge Heavy Metal fan and those two passions never seemed to contradict themselves. The same...

    Supporting the USA Troops - How can I ...???

    Between four cousins who have served a total of seven tours so far in Iraq, I can tell you the wives and children behind our servicemen need our prayers and support as well. If you know anyone whose husband (or wife) is serving, it's a great help to bring over dinner for the family or babysit...

    Losing human respect is necessary for being a fruitful Christian

    I think it's possible to put truth in a way that doesn't hurt people. There's a difference, though, between hurting people and offending people in my opinion. The tact is to speak the Truth within the balance of those two. :)

    Female Angel falling in love with a guy

    Honey, you're young and right now the important thing to do is write, write, write! Don't worry what other people think until you finish the rough draft, then you can start testing it out on others and changing when necessary. At 19 and wanting to be a writer, the best thing to do is find your...

    Broken Women

    Krysstain, First off, I want to say that I've been through sexual abuse and the early scorn of my peers, so I have some of the same scars you do. It is a horrible thing I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy, but we have to choose to be surviors not victims. One of the ways is I am mindful that it...

    Is saying "holy crap" blasphemy?

    We are told in the Bible we shall not take thy Lord's name in vain...so I avoid the 'JC's' and 'GDs'. But when Scripture speaks elsewhere about vulgar language it doesn't give a list, thus, in my thought, meaning they're speaking of what is considered to be profane at the time. So, yes, we...

    Pork

    I've debated the vegetarian thing many a time, seeing as how I feel very strong about the humane treatment of animals, but I just can't. God made me an omnivoure and an omnivoure I shall be! Personally, I like pork. And if you add barbque sauce to it....bliss! Not to mention bacon, which is one...

    New film given PG rating for being too Christian

    I'd really like to figure out why people find Christianity so frightening. Since my rebirth I haven't felt more at peace or safer in my life! God forbid children learn some morals instead of going around doing "what feels right"!

    Pepperidge Farm Cookies

    Now I'm drooling! Going into my PMS week, but I've been careful about having junk food laying around the house. So the only thing for the sweet cravings here is bread and butter pickles. Oh, the humanity!!!

    The Dutch having issues, for real!

    Wow. Just...wow. I honestly used to feel a little bigotted, considering that I have known some great gay people, about the whole gay marriage ban thing. But after reading this, now I see that it becoming a slippery slope isn't just a overactive theory. The slope is already slippery, and we...
