    Why do you think, some people are so cruel on the net?

    "Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh..." perhaps on the 'net more even than in person, the real character shines through. After all, it's not like they are going to run in to you in the school hallway or anything. It's not like people that really matter to them are going to know...

    Was Elihu a good comforter?

    So in a nutshell, AngCath, you get around the apparent discrepancy by suggesting it was an addition. And DaveLeau, that his speech improves as it goes along. You might have something there. Rash young men tend to temper their speech AFTER they've put their foot in it. I'm not so interested...

    Was Elihu a good comforter?

    I am talking about the book of Job here. Elihu was the fourth and most spectacular "comforter". Shortly afterwards, God shows up in power and strength and sorts everyone out. After the dust settles, Elihu is nowhere to be found. God never even mentions him. Does that mean that Elihu's...

    What are your Allergies?

    But I am on day eight of a serious case of Hives. Luckily, the drugs have finally stopped the attack, but I'm a dizzy babe today. I wouldn't be able to walk in a straight line.

    Conventionality is not morality - quote

    Can you guess when this was written? (Bolding mine)"Conventionality is not morality. Self-righteousness is not religion. To attack the first is not to assail the last. To pluck the mask from the face of the Pharisee, is not to lift an impious hand to the Crown of Thorns. These things and...

    Hi, I'm a fortysomething grandmama from Canada

    Wow, I just got back to my opening thread. Thankyou JoyouslyHopeful, for your enthusiastic welcome. You sure made me feel like I belonged! I'd considered, like you, starting over on the whole parenting thing. After all, I finally knew what I was doing. But I'm glad I changed my mind. Being a...

    What does a Christian do if?

    LifeinChrist, those are good scriptures, but I fear you quote them out of context. To follow them blindly would be just as blind. For example, (But God did allow in the OT for relatives to avenge the death of one of their own) (Consider the scriptures also in Proverbs on the sluggard and...

    Hi, I'm a fortysomething grandmama from Canada

    I just stumbled on this site today, taking a look around. So far, it seems to be a lot of internet-savvy young people. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Is it because old people haven't figured out the WWW yet? Anyhow, I am old(er), can type, AND use the internet. All at the same...
