I wear mine as I remember to put it on. I used to wear one 24/7/365, my confirmation cross my Mom and Dad gave me, but the chain broke one day at work and I slid it into my purse. The next day, as I was going to the jewelers to get some rings sized, someone broke into my car and stole my...

Hooray! What wonderful news! So very happy for you all!

Filo, my dear dear friend, I know how hard it is for you to talk about/post about your walk in the shadows. Thank you so much for sharing with us, especially those of us who are desperate for a touchstone in the Church. So often we're told to just "trust God" and "Jesus will heal you if you...

PW, I'm sorry that hijinks became escalated so that you had to report misdoings. It sucks when friends and work spank on each other. That being said, my rule for everything I put on the internet is: If you don't want it coming back to you in 20 years, don't put it on the 'net, for the...

Thanks, Rev! I thought that was when it happened, but I wanted to err on the side of not being sure rather than pure (heh I typed "purr" there..) speculation. I think it does make an interesting supposition regarding WHY children became. Certainly to propagate the Earth, but could it have...

Did I say that? Nope. Do I believe that? I don't know...it's an interesting thought. Did children come about because of the fall? Well, we know that one Child came about because of the fall...Christ Jesus. As through one man all have sinned, also through one Man, all are saved. (Kae's...

Duh. Reread what I wrote. I fully showed that it's speculation on my part. Never said they were. In fact, I posited that they might have been lovers along with partners and helpers to one another. We only know that Adam "knew His wife, Eve, and she bore a son" (giggle alert...My autocorrect...

I disagree. From a purely scientific point, if the primary function of sex is to produce progeny, women would be constantly "in season" and able to have children at anytime. Like animals.

I beg to differ. Several people here, yourself included, have said or inferred that married people have to have kids. Perhaps not in so many words, but certainly by saying that deciding not to have them is a "selfish desire" and a "sinful act" or by saying that the main or one of the main...

Simple curiosity...Bach90, are you Pre Sem??

Bento is a Japanese way of making lunch. Here's a link for some pictures. you. will. die. at. the. cute. bento - Google Search I wasn't talking about giving a child up at birth but after having had that child for 6 months or a year or more. Being a birthmother is one of the most awesome...

I don't read it as disagreeing with my "logic" but with what is something I believe is God working in my life. Continuing to say that I'm sinning in this way...when I have absolutely no equipment to actually conceive or carry a child...is emotionally hurting me. I don't doubt that your...

Okay, this one is totally tongue in cheek... Bach you wrote that "Inability to fulfill the law is no excuse to not try and fulfill it. Of course, I'm one of those insane heretical Lutherans that believes in the third use of the law..." I'm unable to fulfill this law but I can guarantee you...

I've never believed I was "parenting" other people's kids nor did I infer that. Yes, it is way easier to give them back when I'm done with them and when you become a Grandparent, you’ll learn that as well. (My Mom told me that so I guess she knows what she's talking about) Frankly, I...

Nope. Remember, I was *15* when I realized I didn't want children. I have never been a person that cared all that much about babies and the younger crowd. Meaning, everyone fights to hold the baby, I gladly let them do it. I've never had a "Mommy hormone" where I felt the longing for kids or...

You know, I was thinking about this this morning and it occurs to me, Adam and Eve, as we're told in the Book of Genesis, didn't have children in the Garden. They were, literally in Eve's case, made for each other. They were made to be each other's help meet. Now it can be debated that "one...

I never said God WANTED me to be childfree. I said that He knew His plans for me. I'm 43, I have cancer, diabetes, fibromyalgia, severe clinical depression, severe panic disorder,and a number of other things I don't care to introduce to the world. If I had given in to society's demand that I...

Gee, I wonder just who that could be. Hmmm...:sorry: You know, DaSem told me that once a few years back and I'll reply with what I said to him. I do trust in the Lord. I trust Him to give me the wisdom to know myself and I trust Him to know the plans He has for me. I am not childless. I...

Hooray! God bless both of you on your married journey and may you be as happy as my Husbunny and I! (I hope you like Ohio! If you're near Cincy, maybe we could say hi sometime...)

Happy last day of Med School, Mel! I will be praying for you and all the strife between the families to be resolved and if not resolved then set aside so you and GCC can have the beautiful day you deserve. If THAT can't happen, elope to your Pastor's office and just have the non strife makers...
