    What are you eating???

    The idea of using marijuana in any form repulses me. I would take the pills I just heard about if necessary, though.

    What makes a Christian a fundamentalist?

    I used to call myself a Fundamentalist until I saw that terrorists were being called by that name.

    A LOT of health problems

    I have two daughters in their 40s who live too far way and can't afford the long trip--even if they cared enough to come. A doctor was here with the nurse yesterday and talked about sending me to a facility for proper care that I can't get at home. I think the fact that I fell while they were...

    A LOT of health problems

    I have in home care with a nurse coming to see me once or twice a week. She checks my vitals, helps me bathe, and even offered to do my home cleaning for me. It's called Hospice, and it costs me nothing.

    What do Baptists believe about speaking in tongues?

    How about we go on to the next verse and beyond. I'm using the King James--the only veresion I like. "But he the prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort. He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself, but he that prophesieth edifieth the church. Verse...

    What do Baptists believe about speaking in tongues?

    I don't believe that tongues is at all necessary. The 'tongues that the disciples spoke at Pentecost were the known languages of that time--NOT unknown tongues. The people then heard the gospel in their own languages--not in gibberish.

    So I was watching this young preacher online and...

    No revival. People are now calling evil good and calling good evil.

    Music in baptist churches

    I'm from Battle Creek, MI, and I'm used to very inspirational preaching and teaching and very lively music. I made the mistake (a mistake I regret, except that it's a lot warmer) of moving south where the preaching is boring, and the song services are dead.

    What's the weather like where you are? (10)

    The weather has inproved to the 70's F and sunny. Of course, that could change for the worse since it's still winter.

    A LOT of health problems

    I'm assuming I must have put these somewhere, but I don't know where. My health is rapidly going downhill. In 2006, I was diagnosed with diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol. Last March I was diagnosed with bone cancer, then chronic kidney disease and anemia. I'm on a lot of...

    What are you eating???

    Due to cancer and cancer meds, I have very little appetite any more or desire to eat and I've lost over 30 pounds. I'm thinking about making a sweet potato casserole with ham, but my sweet potatoes are getting old and spoiling. I keep having to toss out the bad ones and will probably have to buy...

    What was the first newsworthy issue that you remember?

    I'm still looking for something worth reading. Most of what I see online is about homosexuality, same-gender marriages, and celebrities coming out of the closet.
