    Anyone thinking about Halloween already?

    CelticGrace, I dyed my hair red (but it's not the right shade and it's too short) and I've got skinny jeans and a plaid shirt. Plus I'm covering myself in tally marks (from seeing The Silence). Nobody's going to get it anyhow here so I wasn't too concerned with looking EXACTLY like her.

    Old Testament Applicability

    For me, Oz, eating bacon is a sin. When I prayed about the kosher rules, I felt like G-d was telling me it still applied. My opinion is that when G-d created those animals, He had other purposes for them. It's like paper. I can eat it but it's not food. To me, bacon (or any other unclean animal)...

    I know God will rescue me from this but please pray for me anyway!!!

    Well that's not fun! I'm sorry you've got this infestation. Father, be with cazzapa as she deals with this. Let the bugs leave her home so that she may be free of this irritation and of the nusiance and pain of bites. Until they do abate, L-rd, remind her she is not alone despite going...

    PLEASE pray for me

    Father, Please be with Jo right now. Remind her that she is important and that even if she doesn't see it there are people who she impacts daily. Let her feel your arms around her and let her feel your love. Help her spirits to rise in this dark time. Father in Your word it says that sometimes...

    Your favorite Books

    I love most of Nicholas Sparks' books. The Notebook and Message in a Bottle are my favorites. I have a Kindle so I've been reading like mad on it. Pulled is fantastic as is Memory's Child. And I read the Hunger Games which just sucked me in.

    When did You start Dating?

    I had my first serious boyfriend at 18 but my first "boyfriend" at 14. That lasted about 3 weeks. Now I'm really glad I was older but I definitely felt less-than at 14, 15, 16 when my friends had all been kissed and I hadn't. I'm single again now and not dating until G-d shows me it's His will...

    What colors do you like to wear a lot?

    I wear lots and lots of red and black. Either together or in combination. When I wear white, the three year old girl I take care of tells me I look "weird". (Probably because I don't wear it much around the kids!)

    Anyone thinking about Halloween already?

    I'm an au pair so I've been plotting Halloween for months already. I've got all my plans down, the costumes are made, I just need to add a face to the baby's shirt for her ghost costume and make the decorations/crafts. :) I'm being Amy Pond (from Doctor Who) for the party!

    Autumn - favourite things

    Autumn is my favorite season. I love curling up with a hot cup of spiced cider or tea and a good book or taking a brisk walk to admire the beauty of leaves. This is a poem I wrote in 2004 about the season: Leaves Autumn leaves are falling Falling in all their glory Brown, red, and gold...

    Old Testament Applicability

    I am by no means a scholar. The only Greek word I know is probably agape. I cannot tell you clearly that because this word means this instead of it's usual translation as that we are supposed to do XYZ. I can tell you that we cannot simply disregard the OT without considering it. Sacrifices...

    Any Knitters?

    I'm actually using five needles. It's my first project on dpns (I've always used two circulars before but I moved to Germany without my knitting supplies and found these for one euro). I think the blanket is going to be a basket weave pattern. Enough to be interesting but not enough that I have...

    "Christian Counseling" vs. Secular Psychology

    I cannot answer in general but in my experience, I've had I think six counselors. Half of those were in schools (1 each in middle school, high school, and college) and half were private. The only one that I know of that was Christian was at my Christian college. She helped me to learn coping...

    Question for all

    My depression is caused by a chemical imbalance due to genetics. I also have anxiety issues for the same reasons. I am currently on medication and have been for most of the last six years. Obviously I believe in using medications though I hope to reduce my dependence on it in the future. Though...

    who here has/wants children

    I had a miscarriage in my relationship with my ex-fiance so yes I have one child. Though I don't know for a fact if the baby was a boy or girl (I barely knew I was pregnant), I believe it was a girl. My daughter is waiting for me in heaven. (This is the first time that I've said that to anyone...

    What have you read recently?

    I'm working right now on memorizing Colossians 3:23-24. I realized that my attitude towards my work most days was "Okay let's just get through this and then I'm off." Considering I'm doing something I claim to love, what an awful attitude! And it's not like in my free time I'm doing much of...

    Trinity question?

    Radagast, if I understood correctly when I first heard that, that construction would not have been used in an every day setting. It wasn't as if Jesus saying "I am the way and the truth and the life" was spoken as if I were to say "I am Victoria" or "I am 22". Is that correct or was I misinformed?
