    [OPEN]A struggle in my faith

    Well, I've always thought that myself before now, but I have had people actually be surprised when I tell them I am a Christian because I don't use that sort of language. I try to let my life be it's own witness.

    [OPEN]A struggle in my faith

    I have been hanging out on a few Christian boards lately. I love them. My faith has grown a lot. However, there is something that I am having problems with. It sounds a little petty, but please hear me out. I worry that, as far in my walk as I am, I still am nowhere NEAR others. So many people...

    Asking for more prayers

    Well, the prayer definitely helped. :) It went so well! My teacher told me that it was the best presentation he had ever seen in that class! As for the healing, I think I'm about as past it as I can be... there's still certain days (like this one) where I get down, but I don't have the triggers...

    Asking for prayers

    In one hour, I am giving a speech in one of my classes about Sexual Assault. I didn't know what day it would be on when I signed up to do it. Ironically, today is the birthday of my ex. It's not a good day for me. I'm really nervous about the speech. Please pray for me to have the strength to...

    can a non-christian please God?

    Here's a great poem that someone posted in another thread of mine a long time ago: "Abou Ben Adhem" Abou Ben Adhem (may his tribe increase!) Awoke one night from a deep dream of peace, And saw, within the moonlight in his room, Making it rich, and like a lily in bloom, An Angel writing in a...

    Anxiety Culture -- 10 Million Americans take AntiDepressants

    Any psychologist worth their degree will tell you that it is a combination of changed environmental factors and raised awareness. They also recently figured out that anti-depressants can treat migraines. Lots of people are on them for migraines, not depression. Me included. In short, there...

    [OPEN] Could I get some thoughts and prayers?

    Well, I had my appointment with the geneticist yesterday. Basically, he said that there is definitely something genetic going on, but he doesn't know exactly what it is. So, he wants to go forward with the testing. To start with, we are doing a blood test, a skeletal survey (taking x-rays of...

    What happened to stewardship of God's creation?

    A group of evangelicals met to sign a statement of concern over global warming. Notabley absent from this meeting was Focus on the Family's Dr. James Dobson. So, why wasn't he there? “Any issue that seems to put plants and animals above humans is one that we cannot support.” What?!? These...

    [OPEN] Could I get some thoughts and prayers?

    Well, I just got back from my appointment for my migraines. We are trying a tri-cyclic antidepressant this time, because I am having terrible and strange reactions to the SSRI's. If this does not work, she's going to try me on a medicine most commonly used for those with bi-polar. She thinks I...

    Any familiar faces still around?

    [OPEN] Could I get some thoughts and prayers?

    Thanks, everyone. I have my appointment to get my migraine meds changed this morning... I'll let you know how it goes. The appointment with the geneticist is tomorrow. Well, I don't drink or smoke (I'm asthmatic and allergic to cigarette smoke, so no cigs for me.). As for the junk food, you're...
