    How do you feel about the change taking place in concern with marijuana laws?

    Pot creates apathy and selfishness. I don't care how healthy it is. I know a lot of people who won't drink alone but they'll stay perpetually stoned all day, morning to night. Legalize it like alcohol and you dope the masses faster than television can. The prince of the power of the air would...

    Abortion and Eschatology

    The shedding of innocent blood is an abomination to God, always. While I believe there will be millions of babies in Heaven I also believe there will be many women lost because they can't face the guilt of what they've done. Repentance becomes harder when the sin is more difficult to face. It's...

    So tired, my one year old won't sleep alone

    Thanks again to all who replied. She sleeps better now in her own crib. I think it was cramping tummy that had her so upset. Now she has a stuffy nose and since she sucks her fingers (almost time to post about that) she wakes up frustrated that she can't breathe out of her nose. Other than that...

    Why can't we just speak the same language? (minor rant)

    Conclusion: My advice is to praise him for helping you whenever he does, show him respect by sitting with him while he does a task he enjoys, and communicate how you need him to help you in a way that appeals to his strengths...

    So tired, my one year old won't sleep alone

    Don't get me wrong, my husband is more than willing to help. He's really attentive to my needs, too. What I meant by giving up everything was that I didn't want to give my husband's portion of me to my daughter too. After reading from the happy cosleepers, I'm still a little hesitant because...

    So tired, my one year old won't sleep alone

    jgonz... thank you for your compassionate insight. Sometimes I feel like I'm in a universe of my own where everything is about my baby's needs and I'm some kind of non-entity. But I know that she is so important and that she has no one but me most of the day. I'm suppose to provide the safe...

    So tired, my one year old won't sleep alone

    So I made a horrible mistake in nursing her to sleep from birth, rocking her to sleep, and then finally getting so tired she ended up cosleeping with us. Now I want her to sleep in her crib and she insists on being held. When she can't be held she wakes up every two hours and won't go back to...

    a question for the SAHM's

    Some days I am a whirlwind of stuff getting done. Other days it's all I can do to lift clothes off the floor. I have a one year old who sits asleep in my backpack because she refuses to take naps on her own. I've created a monster.

    Do Christians condemning gays realize what they are asking the other to give up?

    You bring up an interesting point. Does repentance "earn" us a closer walk with God? I think it does, actually. To turn from sin is very hard, but it is one of the only things God requires of us. And you're right, our reward is a closer walk with a Holy God. Through Jesus Christ we are able to...

    Do Christians condemning gays realize what they are asking the other to give up?

    Attraction is related to temptation. Don't you think the idea of turning stones into bread after fasting for forty days was attractive to Jesus? But He withstood the attraction/temptation. If I'm attracted to a person of the same sex that doesn't mean I should sleep with them, live with them...

    Do we obey God?

    If we find we aren't obeying God's commands nor do we have a desire to, we should examine our hearts to see if we truly are saved. But as soon as we believe in Jesus and give ourselves to Him, He NEVER lets us go.

    Do we obey God?

    When we are transformed through His Spirit we WILL obey Him in more things as the spiritual seasons go on.It's not about shoulds and oughts. It's about believing Him and believing Jesus. Faith without deeds is dead because faith requires action in order to be complete. Yet we are saved by God's...

    Good online audio resources?

    I went on a hunt for MP3s recently because I got an iPod for Christmas. If you have something like Windows Media PLayer you listen to them straight from your computer after you download them. librivox.org/the-practice-of-the-presence-of-god-by-brother-lawrence/ This has MP3s of public domain...
