    Please pray for me.

    Please just take a second to pray for me. My wife told me this morning she wants a divorce. She is 7 1/2 months pregnant and we have been under alot of stress. We have been together 17 years (33years old) and have been through a lot. Like an idiot, instead of being honest about a situation...

    Does church on Easter make your blood boil?

    Honestly I think you need to take a step back and think on statements like this. I walked my little girl into church by hand Sunday. She was wearing a dress that probably costs 300+ in the store, but my mom made it from leftover material and other than several hours of sewing, probably cost less...

    Does church on Easter make your blood boil?

    I am also dressing up my 4 year old extra nice tomorrow. But before you make a snap judgment, it is because her grandmother takes great pride in hand sewing her outfits. Josh

    Does church on Easter make your blood boil?

    So your judging others based on what you see them doing? Am I missing something?

    hard for rich man to enter into the kingdom of God

    When I read these verses, I think back to my own life. When I was in my 20's and unsaved, I had a 400K+ house, a car that cost over 40K, boat, motorcycle, etc. I didn't have to worry about bills. In one year alone, I used an Amex and charged/paid in full over 50k worth of crap. I slowly worried...

    Christians and attitude

    My feelings towards pedophiles is more of a feeling of disappointed love if that makes sense. I love them as people, but I feel sadness for where they are at in their lives. Everyone has free will and chooses, but I try and remember I am not in their shoes, nor do I know how they got so screwed...

    Christians and attitude

    Agreed. For 31 years of my 33 years in life, I was an unbeliever. I went to a "Christian School" and the judgment, exclusion, and unwelcoming attitude I felt towards unbelievers (and myself) darn near caused me to never want to find God. I never once felt love in their teachings. Thankfully...

    No One Talks About Sports in Here

    I like baseball (Phillies) and college football (Auburn!). I will watch other sports on occasion.

    Place, where can people with anxiety can live

    3-4 years ago I had what I think was a mild panic attack. Probably nothing like you deal with, but I was laying in bed with wife and could not sleep and was looking up/out the window at the moon. I can't remember the exact feeling, except I started thinking about death and got extremely nervous...

    Survivor: Redemption Island

    Phillip makes me physically cringe. I feel so bad for him because I know some wires have to be crossed up there, and at the same time I get annoyed. Really interested to hear the real scoop on this guy at the finale show. Josh

    Any Ereaders users in here?

    I have the latest Kindle 3G version. I also have an iPad. Personally I love the Kindle the best. I can see it in the bright sun, battery is great, and it's easy to keep with me at the fire station or on the fire truck. In a pinch if we get stuck on the truck for hours and I don't have my Kindle...

    Is it weird for a man to save his virginity for marriage?

    I started dating my wife (first girlfriend) at 15. We waiting until our wedding night 6 years to the day later. It was not easy. Honestly, I think one of the reasons we are so strong through the hard times is because we felt truly committed to each other. Kudos to you. Be ready. It is a tough...

    Women ruling, a bad thing?

    I dunno. I personally can not attribute any of the dysfunctional things I have seen at different churches to any more of a specific reason than what I call "loss of perspective". For me, it's about showing God's love to others. I would not dare label how that is supposed to happen or what His...

    Unsure about my salvation

    I have struggled with what you are feeling before. Totally normal. For me, I finally thought about the feeling I felt when I was truly connected to God and could feel His presence. That feeling was what squashed any doubt and my relationship grew from there. Stick with it. :)
