@Goodbook: She is a Christian, I can't say where's she's at with her walk with God right now, though. You have a good point, but she hasn't always been this way. She used to be a very loving and friendly person. Sure, she has always had a bit of a self-centered-ness about her, but I always...

I'm sorry if this just seems like a complaint thread, but my best friend and I have been having a difference in opinion about something for a while now, and her latest accusations have really upset me. Since we were teenage girls she was the social extrovert that always had something going on...

From a High Tower by Mercedes Lackey from her Elemental Masters series It's a adaptation of the Rapunzel story as told in the pre-WWI Germany era. Because "fantasy". :D

I can see the practicality of e-books, but I just can't get into them. Of course, I can't afford to get a Kindle or anything like that, most of the e-books I've read have been sitting, hunched over my desk top looking at what I call a "Wall-o-Words". I've read some good independent novels this...

Personally, I'm into fantasy and science fiction. So if Harry Potter is too "witch-crafty" for you, you might not be interested in my opinions. However, when I was in middle school I was reading Piers Anthony's X(a/n)th series, it's pretty simple characters and story lines and it's mostly...

Okay, this popped into my head out of nowhere.... You get a line and I'll get a pole, honey! You get a line and I'll get a pole, babe! You get a line and I'll get a pole, and we'll go down to the crawdad pool, Honey, baby, mine! I learned this in 5th grade and it still occasionally pops...

@KitKatMatt Sorry, I wasn't trying to accuse you, I just wanted to get the attention of everybody who was part of the conversation. I let Theo's first comment go, but since somebody else took offense, I wanted my view on the subject to be known so that it could be dropped. :)

Ha, I tend to think of myself as a deep thinker, then I run into posts like this. I didn't even know either of those things had names, lol. I suppose I shouldn't say I'm a "deep thinker", but saying I'm a "minimalist thinker" just doesn't sound very flattering, does it? I think to get a good...

I'm an insomniac and unemployed so my schedule is all over the place. That means "breakfast" is the period after which I slept the longest that day (which can and has been 3 hours). The puts breakfast anywhere from 5PM to 2AM to 8 AM. It can consist of anything from last night's leftover ribs...

@redblue @TheoNewstoss @KitKatMatt and anybody else who brought up bringing guns into the equation. No. No. No. And No. I do not agree with guns. Yes, even if I was being robbed, beaten, and raped I would not want a gun. That's the exact opposite of "Christ-like"! If anybody thinks that Jesus...

So I ran across this this morning and now the song won't get out of my head. Good luck getting rid of this ear-bug.

I think speaking in tongues can help some people express emotions that they can't describe or speak of in prayer. Anxiety, the feeling of fear and worry for no apparent reason, is a good emotion to bring to God in tongues. I'm constantly feeling guilty or anxious for no reason other than "it's...

I wouldn't call Bob mentally unstable. There's a difference between having a disability that leaves you socially inept and having a mental health issue that might make you unpredictable and potentially violent. Since my mother is a member of and an advocate for NAMI(National Alliance on Mental...

1. Hypocrisy within the church. I have always had a hard time reconciling the messages of Grace, God's willingness to overlook our sins because of his overwhelming love for us, and the attitude of the people within the church that say "You better live up to our definition of what a Christian is...

@twinserk: I agree with you, the problem is I already disappeared. Due to several reasons like church politics, pressure from working as the church secretary as well as Bob hovering over me all the time caused me to have a mental break-down. I was hard at work late one Saturday night and one of...
