    New Lutheran in Progress

    My daughter was born 5/8 at 12:16am weighing 7lbs 10oz. Baptism will be June 2 in theory. Hubby's mom is making her a white gown and I am glad she is on board with it :) https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4180463/Miracle.jpg More pics when I get home.

    Next week begins Day 1

    I'm off the pill right now (this is my reminder week). I just finished getting blood work to make sure my cholesterol levels were ok because they were high (and they are now normal) so we are all set. I'm going to be super hopeful even though I have PCOS.

    NaNo 2010?

    I was wondering how many out there are going to be participating in NaNoWriMo this year. I did it last year (and won) though it zapped a month away from my life it seemed. I'm all set for this year :)

    Growing in Heaven

    Okay..my mother-in-law told me this and I've never heard of it nor was I able to find out anything online. She said Ellen White said in heaven, humans will continue to grow until they reach the height that they were meant to be (like Adam and Eve - 12 ft - about that height she said) and that...

    First Communion

    There is a topic sprouting in the HOW design forum about giving money for a kid after their first communion. Instinctively I feel this is a RCC behavior. To me, being able to partake in communion should be "gift" enough. Is giving monetary gifts something that is traditionally done for...

    Being "happy" during communion

    Thinking about this...coming out of a thread in General Theology. Personally I don't get "happy" during communion. It's after. During communion I am in a state of humility and reverence and thankfulness (in a somber way), but wanting to cry is very common for me. Normal?

    Anniversary Ideas

    Ok so today is our two-year anniversary and DH and I have no idea what to do (besides the obvious). I don't really want to go out to eat because of my diet requirements (diabetic + low calorie) and we did think about a movie but we both just don't feel like that today (since it is a weekday and...

    The Lutheran Study Bible - WOW

    I got mine in the mail today. Very surprised considering I thought it wasn't going to be released until Reformation Day. That baby is thick (and full of goodness). It's everything they said it would be and more :) I look forward to reading through it. Anyone else get theirs?

    Pregnacy with PCOS

    For those women out there...how hard was it to conceive with PCOS? How long did it take? Did you use fertility medication? The reason I'm asking is because I want to have kids in the next couple of years (2 kids max - I'll be just happy with one). I was diagnosed at 20 and I've been on...

    Tired of all this ...

    I don't know if the word will be sensored so I just left it blank (they don't tell you what is in the profanity filter). I am so sick and tired of all these people who think homosexuality is ok and not a sin. It's plain and clear in Romans. I was in the women's discussion thread and they were...

    Crossing the Line

    First off, I don't think the church is meant to be a theatre in anyway. It's not a place for entertainment. There was a skit this Sunday about women who didn't get out in the world but lived in the church (literally). They started talking about the kitchen for food and the bathrooms and sleeping...

    We're hitched!

    Fantasy Novel - Lady From Day

    I've been writing this for 10 years and finally got the idea to turn it into an audio drama. Everyone who has listened to it, likes it. It is a 4 part series (38 total chapters split into segments called "Books"). Lady from Day is a story about an adventurer Lia and her group of companions and...

    Job Interview

    My fiance is going to have a job interview in a half an hour. He really needs this job for the benefits, atmosphere, his health, and pay. Right now his pay fluctuates, they don't pay him enough (sometimes $5 for 8 hours of work since it's flat rate) and he's been having health problems relating...

    Has anyone had their wedding without any bridesmaids/groomsmen?

    My fiance and I are planning on having a very small ceremony at our church and the issue is that the people who I wanted in my wedding party have been complaining about time off/cost involved in getting a dress. My best friend who I wanted to be the maid of honor was going to cook the food...

    Multi Prayer Requests - Related

    To start at the beginning: My mom went with my grandparents to South Dakota to visit my aunt. After a week, they found out that my aunt's father in law fell down stairs at his house and died. My uncle was en route to a medical conference to speak so he had to divert and go there (Pennsylvania)...

    Please pray for support

    My fiance's grandma died today (and it being my birthday didn't help). Anyway I know she is going to spend her eternity in heaven but his whole family is taking it really hard. I know she is happy and that my fiance will be with her again...I think of the eternal picture when someone dies and I...

    Question for SDA

    What disagreements could an SDA person have with a Lutheran/someone that was born into SDA but decided to go to a Lutheran church? Also...I don't understand the reasoning behind the whole unbelievers just stop existing thing. Based on what I've read, SDA believes that unbelievers just die and...

    My poor Devon

    So yesterday when we were at church my fiance told me that his mom doesn't approve of him going to a Lutheran church. Apparently she thinks it's Catholic (she's SDA) though he tried to explain. He himself is very non-confrontational (he doesn't like to get in fights) but both of his sides...
