So, I haven't been in here in ages, and it certainly looks different. Quite the overhaul. Well, my reason for coming back is to ask for some prayer. For those who don't remember me, sorry, I'm not going to go into any details right now, but my life has been extremely difficult the past 4...

Poker, even the gambling part, (like most things in life) is only sinful when it becomes a hinderance to your ability to walk with God and live a Christian life. I play Poker most Friday nights with a group of guys from work. Buy in is $10, and that will get you a good 2-3 hours of play if you...

I play golf and draw.

When the debate comes up, simply ask the evolutionists to provide an explanation for where the mass came from that became the big bang. Mass cannot come from nothing, so if there was a bang and everything was just "there", where did the initial mass come from? They'll dance around with that...

Ceccia, I know all too well what you are going through. I'm 30 years old, and have only been in my current job for 4 years. I am still not convinced that this is what I am destined to do. I'm good at it, I help people, and it's a noble profession, but I don't think it is my "calling"...

HopeSM, OK, I'll come from a different point of view. I was the one who cheated on my first wife. Our marriage had been rocky for a long time, and this other woman supplied things for me (emotional at first) that I wasn't getting from my wife. It's not right, but it's what happened. My ex...

Slim, From someone who is going through pretty much the same thing you are, let me just say don't give up. My dad is a minister. I've been in the church my whole life. I left the church for a few years, citing many reasons. My life wasn't any better then. I did what I wanted, and let me...

Kerry kept saying "I'll fight for you!" He sounded like a defense lawyer on a daytime TV commercial. "I'll fight for you, at a discounted fee of only 28%, and I don't get paid unless you win...except for my retainer and such..."

Wow, I miss 36 pages of banter. Bummer. That was painful to watch, not once did I feel that either candidate did anything but spout rhetoric. Neither one stayed on topic, and both took too many moments of actual meaningful speech away to attack each other. There's got to be a better way to do...

I use the National Parks system to put food on my table. I have the awful luck of working for the NPS. I'm at Lake Powell/Glen Canyon National Rec Area. It's tough, but someone has to be strong and do it. I primarily work in Law Enforcement, EMS, Search and Rescue. I am also on our deep...

I love Mountain Dew, and if I could have a constant IV drip to forgo the inconvenience of having to drink it...I would.

I'm born and bred Zonie. Love living here, and have lived in and been to enough other places to know why. You can keep your 10 inches of rain in a day, your 25 feet of snow in the winter, your 100% humidity, your flat, uninteresting land structure, and your hurricane, earthquakes...

So, this past summer has been the second worst of my life. 2002 will forever be the worst; lost my daughter, almost lost my wife, sat by her bed for 2 months as she (we) tried to deal with her becoming a Quadriplegic. This past June, she had surgery on her bladder that was supposed to make...

I lost my oldest daughter, Caira, in 2002 in a car accident. She was 2 1/2. My wife, our younger daughter and I all survived. I held her in the middle of the road as she died. My wife was almost killed, and is paralyzed as a result. I had so much to do to take care of my wife that I don't...

Thank you all, very much. I can feel God beginning to work...

Hi all, It's been a while since I've been around here, mostly because of a lack of time, but also a bit of a bad attitude. I've been dealing with an attitude problem lately, and it's really getting to me. For those who don't know, in June of 2002, my wife was paralyzed and my oldest...

We have a young Sonoran Wolf Spider, a Giant Desert Hairy Scorpion (about 4 1/2 inches right now, should get to about 7 or so), and a small high desert brown lizard. Yeah, odd pets, but easily maintained, and our daughter is enthralled by them. My wife is a teacher, and she keeps them in her...

If I may thrown in my two cents worth (you'll be billed at a later date), I would suggest doing abs every day. Abs are high intensity muscles, and can be worked every day without over-stressing them. Ab workouts, if done correctly, are extremely intense and burn a lot of calories. I like to...

hiz child: An important thing to consider is this: rarely does someone who loses a lot of weight immediately keep said weight off in the long run. Physiology requires most people to slowly lose weight in order for the body to adapt to less and less weight, and your metabolism to adjust...

Hmmm...I work for the National Park Service, and our budgets were cut across the board, to a point of making it difficult to do our basic job. We're told to expect more cuts this coming October. I wonder where our increase went...
