    Dear cross runner... I'm hangin' in there. I had to work this weekend, plus today (healthcare) so I have not been on-line. May I P.M. you? Thanks for your concern... Loki:wave:

    Help me to believe...

    Thanks so much, cross runner...I will let you know how things go. Work, early tomorrow for me, but I am doing as you suggested, asking God into my heart, and I will keep you informed, my sister...:wave:

    Help me to believe...

    Deborah, As a convert to Catholicism, you will have a much more enthusiastic approach to it than I will. As a nine year old, my sins were similar to your son's...I didn't make my bed, I was angry with my little sister. In retrospect, what really got to me is that these are very human, minor...

    Woman's Obit = Please vote for Kerry

    You folks may think it's inappropriate that the poor woman's husband put that request in her obit...but he knows her best! After my Dad's heart attack, my family and I laughed a little and said how grateful we were that Dad had voted that morning. (for Clinton, who won) Madison is my home...

    Help me to believe...

    Sure... I was eleven years old, and I guess it was the idea of God's existence I began to reject, so the religion I was being raised in automatically went out the window with it, to my relief. My Mother started taking me to mass when I was about four years old, and the Monsignor of our church...

    Help me to believe...

    Thanks, Marti, for your response. So, I should speak to God as though I believe he is there and listening? Even if I don't really know he exists? I apologize for my ignorance here...Is it one of those "act as if" kind of things? Please let me know. Thanks so much, Loki

    Help me to believe...

    Where do I start? I have been questioning God's existence for thirty years. All of my adult life I have been searching for some form of spirituality that feels right...eastern religions, paganism...I have an emptiness inside that I alone seem unable to fill. I was raised Catholic, but rejected...

    Big mistake

    Wow, does that sound familiar... When I was ninteen, I was sitting in a bar, and this guy kept staring at me...Finally he came over and introduced himself. I never gave into him, but he was definitely after me. I sent him a card at his house, and he called me out for a date. He came over...

    Transsexual's Bad?

    I dont think its ok for women to wear men's clothing. Pant's or jeans arent sex-exclusive clothes. But if I see a woman who wears men's business suit or other obviously men's clothes, I believe its wrong because she tries to appear unnaturaly masculine. I like when women and girls wear dresses...

    Thanks everybody, for taking the time to respond to my questions!

    can I become a christian?

    What I mean to say is that I would like to be a Christian, but my brain gets in my way. I struggle with the idea of God being all powerful, but not over-powering Satan and thus destroying the evils and trials we face. Why does God throw people into an eternal lake of fire instead of forgiving...
