    Digital Scrapbooking

    Last year my husband bought me this program for doing digital scrapbook layouts. I love this thing! I wrote myself a little web gallery and started transforming my digital photos into a scrapbook. I've done all the way from Nov. 2001 to Aug. 2005 so far. The only problem is that I'm getting...

    When your spouse naps

    When your spouse naps during the day, how long will you wait before waking them up, whether to make sure they can sleep that night or because you are tired of watching the kids, or whatever reason (other than they asked you to wake them)? Do you think waking them for above reasons is...

    Oh, shoot -- middle names??

    I just realized that we haven't even thought about middle names for this baby. We've mostly decided on the first names. A girl will be either Aislin ("Ash-lynn") or Aisling ("Ash-ling") and a boy will be Kieran. All of our kids have Gaelic first names, and "normal" middle names: Aryanna...

    Aislin or Aisling?

    These are two versions of an Irish girl's name, hubby likes one and I like the other. (And no, I won't tell you which! :) ) From the Irish Baby Names site: Aisling is the more original form, and is pronounced "Ash-ling." Aislin is a variation, and we would pronounce it "Ash-lynn."...

    What now?

    Have you ever known someone who suddenly realized that her path was not right, and that she was completely incapable of living without God, and plunged herself completely into finding God's way, giving up everything about her former self because all of it was now so obviously crap in the light...

    I'm wanting to make a dynamic sig image that takes into account which forum a person is posting to when displaying a quote. This post is a test to work out parsing the referrer. http://test.usr-bin-mom.com/test.php

    Where is God?

    I have suffered from depression for years. As a little kid I remember my mom always asking me, "Why are you crying this time?" and I couldn't answer her. My journals (which I've kept since I was 8, are full of just sadness for no reason, no cause. When I was in junior high I was on...

    Baby about to be killed

    Have you heard about this? A judge is allowing Texas Children's Hospital to remove an infant from life support against his mother's wishes. http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/ssistory.mpl/front/3084617 Please pray for this baby and his mother...

    Seeking Photos for Pro-Life Layout

    I hope this is the right forum for this. I am thinking of doing a pro-life layout for my personal website. To this end I am looking for photos of children whose parents chose life. To give an example, the first time I became pregnant I was 20, unmarried, a college drop-out with no steady job...

    Need some friends in Houston

    I'm trying to find some people that I can both talk to online and hang out with IRL. I'm 22, happily married with 4 kids whom we homeschool, and live in North Houston (inside the Loop).

    Mary always a virgin?

    I asked this in the Catholic forum, but I would like to get a Protestant view on it, as well, if that's ok. I just read in another thread that Catholics believe that Mary was always a virgin. I vaguely remember something like that from Sunday School. (My mother's family is Catholic, so on...

    Mary always a virgin?

    I just read in another thread that Catholics believe that Mary was always a virgin. I vaguely remember something like that from Sunday School. (My mother's family is Catholic, so on the ffew occasions we actually went to church, it was a Catholic church.) I have a question about this...

    Why hold an unorthodox belief?

    This is not meant to be argumentative; it's an honest question. Those of you who hold a belief that is not widely regarded by the Christian world as Biblically accurate, what makes you think that you (for lack of better phrasing) know better? Why do so few others see things your way?

    My little boy and the remote control dump-truck

    Older Son got a remote control dump-truck for Christmas (he had an early celebration with his other mom's family). Well, since he and Oldest Daughter are visiting their cousins for a sleepover, Middle Son (who is almost 2) has been playing with the toy. He likes that the truck makes motor...

    It can happen!

    I thought I'd offer my story as some encouragement for those in unequally-yoked relationships. When I met my husband he was a Christian, born-again, but living a life apart from God. He'd been through a long rebellious phase, and was angry about the break-up of his first marriage. His first...

    How the Lord used my sins to save me

    I'm sorry, this is sort of long. If you want to skip to the part where I get saved, it is clearly marked. I grew up in a "Catholic" family. I use the quotes because my mother told me we were Catholic, but pretty much left it at that. I'd be willing to bet that I've been to more weddings &...

    9% Born Again Christians Hold Biblical Worldview

    The following is copied from an entry I posted on my site in reference to this study: family.org/cforum/fnif/news/a0029096.cfm I was shocked to read a recent article entitled Church doesn't think like Jesus: Survey shows only 9% of Christians have Biblical worldview. 9 percent? Now, I...
