    Growing Slash Pine

    There are several Slash Pine trees in my neighborhood, though none in my yard. Recently my daughter collected open and unopened pine cones to decorate for Christmas, and over night one of the cones opened a bit and let out several seeds. Now she wants to plant the seeds to grow her own pine...

    Toy problem

    I do not feel that my kids have a whole lot of toys, but we do not have a big house so when they do not keep their toys picked up their room or the house looks like a mess. Them not keeping their toys picked up seems too be the most difficult problem I have with them at the moment. I ask them to...

    Christian Book Banning

    Know always surprises me? That Christians will freak out and get all upset over Harry Potter, but not one word of damnations is breathed about The Magic Tree House series. This is why I think many Christians are hypocrites. They will scream and rant over how evil Harry Potter is, but turn...

    Just a small request

    While I have other bigger, more difficult issues in my life to deal with, a small problem is that I am starting to develop sensitivity in my teeth, sometimes just a simple glass of juice or blow of ice cream will be enough to send stabbing pains from my teeth all the way up to my head—which in...

    Are you going to have to tell your kids about Steve Irwin?

    I just found out the news a few minutes ago, and I’m dreading the morning, because I am going to have to tell my kids about his death. My daughter has had a bit of a celebrity crush on him for years. Even though we don’t have cable, she has seen most of his shows—we’ve bought them on DVD, and...

    Movies in School

    A thread in the News and Current even got me to thinking, ( found here: http://www.christianforums.com/t3277403-couple-says-school-violated-kids-innocence-parents-rights-with-r-rated-film.html ) I was kind of surprised at the people who felt that movies don’t belong in the classroom...

    Girl Scout and Girl Guide Club

    I’m currently the co-leader of a Brownie troop. This has been my first experience with Girl Scouting. I really enjoy it. And I was wondering if there are any G.S. moms. Leaders, current scouts or others who are out there and want to discus the G.S.

    Was I wrong?

    There was this old tomcat in our neighbor hood. He showed up a few years ago, no collar no tag, but very friendly. A couple of neighbors and I asked around and even put an add in the lost and found advertising we found a cat—but noone came forth and claimed him. He was a very sweet cat...

    Where does the time go?

    I just got off the phone with my kid brother—he’s a freshman in H.S. now and is already talking about college! He was asking me all sorts of questions about how much it cost and what are the requirements and jr. college vs. state universities…. It seems like just yesterday I was dropping him off...

    Is emotional and sexual neglect abuse?

    My husband and I have been together for about 12 years. For the last 7 years he has had very little to do with us as a family. He spends most of his time either at work on playing computer games on line. I do not believe he is having an affair. He only wants to be left alone with his games. He...

    School Fundraiser Rant

    My children’s school kicked off their first week with the fall catalog sales. UGH! I hate these things—most of the stuff is over priced and tacky and I hate the whole sales pitch they give my kids in school—you know the whole “If you sell X amount of items you’ll get this cool prize.” But to...

    reoccurring dream

    I have this reoccurring dream—in the dream I’m back in high school; but I’m my age in real life and still have worries and frustrations that I have in real life—I’ll be a 33 years old sitting in a high school English class worrying about mortgage rates or if the car needs new tires. I’ll look...

    Hotel Dream

    I had a bit of a strange dream last night and want to write it out while it’s still fresh in my mind, and if anyone of you out there in virtual reality land wants to take a go at it, feel free. In my dream I was driving back from visiting some family in another state. It was a long trip and I...

    How to find a new church?

    At the moment I starting to feel uncomfortable with the teachings at church I currently belong too. It feels like the sermons are becoming more and more political along with other things that are going on that I just don’t feel comfortable with. Anyways I’ve never been to a church that I have...

    Are “indecent” dreams considered sinning?

    I often have intensely sexual dreams—usually they do not include my husband. I think the reason for this is that in the past few years my husband has not been interested in sex—and I feel that these dreams are sort of an outlet for sexual frustration. But a few weeks ago my pastor...

    Question regarding divorce

    Hello, long time lurker, first time poster. I’ve often in the past seen very good, non biased advice given here so I’d thought I’d give it a try. I’m not really sure where to start; my husband and I have been married for nearly 13 years—but for the last 7 or 8 years it really hasn’t been much of...
