    Yeah, I'm also a little confused by that :confused: Although I'm actually still confused by a lot of things on this thread...I'm struggling to keep up with all the trains of thought :P

    Mark Driscoll

    I agree BUT I must add that what a person thinks of how theologically sound his teachings are depends on their theology. I have thought some of his teachings were really excellent, but I'm not a Calvinist, so there is a lot that he has preached that I just don't agree with. I don't expect Mark...

    Ladies, once you became mothers have you found that...

    :D This is very true for me. Before I got married and had kids I used to tease my mom about how she would cry at the drop of a hat. She used to relate some touching story and would be choking back the tears. I used to roll my eyes. I was always the happy-go-lucky child who lighten up emotional...

    anyone have any insight?

    Didn't have much to add except to say that I'm still praying for you, sorry you're having such a hard time with these people. I'm praying not only for wisdom for you to know how to handle things, but also that God would really work on the hearts of these people that they would understand how...

    anyone have any insight?

    I gotta say I'm a little :eek: at this response. I feel quite heartsore that this is the picture that you have of our Father. Discipline does not equal punishment and I do not believe for one second that people have miscarriages, lose loved ones etc. because God is punishing them. I don't...

    BabyWise

    I didn't have a very good experience with Babywise. I ended up a stressed out mess because my baby didn't follow the routine! We were both much happier when we stopped. One thing I wanted to point out was that if you're breastfeeding, breast milk contains a hormone called cholecystokinin (CCK)...

    Do parents ever dare question?

    I've definitely found this to be true in my circles. Nobody really talks about the hard stuff. They may talk about little issues that come up like babies teething or sleepless nights, but nobody ever talks about the emotional toll having kids takes on you. It was such a huge shock for me. I knew...

    Tiger Mom..rawr!

    I gotta say I was pretty shocked reading the article. I don't think she went a LITTLE overboard, I think she went TOTALLY overboard. I completely agree that most teenagers these days are disrespectful, and parents just let their kids walk all over them. I'm not for permissive parenting. I...

    2 month old - wakes early from daytime naps

    Your baby is still very small. Most babies sleep cycles are 30 - 45min each. It is normal for babies to wake after that time, although many babies can go right back to sleep again. The key is to teach them to put themselves back to sleep, which is easier said than done. What I found helped with...

    Pregnant with twins, just sayin' hi!

    :wave: Congrats on your pregnancy. I think it's normal to be nervous. It's exciting and scary at the same time to think what a responsibility we have as parents. We need lots of wisdom. I will be praying for you and your boyfriend.

    Why is it "different when they're yours?"

    I completely agree. I think if you are so certain that you don't want kids then you should go ahead with the vasectomy. I don't really like kids but I absolutely adore my own, but not all people are like that. I know a couple: wife wanted kids, husband absolutely didn't. She thought that if he...

    Christmas and Sants Clause.

    Interesting links. I watched the first few and I agree with a lot of what he has to say. I was just talking about it with a friend of mine who is a teacher at a school where half of the children are Muslim, and even those children celebrate Christmas. There is certainly nothing Christian about...

    Christmas and Sants Clause.

    We do the same thing. We exchange presents, talk about the birth of Jesus and how Christmas the story of Saint Nick and DD knows not to "spill the beans" to her friends. We do the same thing with the "tooth fairy" and the "easter bunny" - she knows they are both not real and it's really mom and...

    What is the most haunting song you have ever heard?

    You won't Relent by Misty Edwards. The first time I heard this song I got chills up my spine and felt such an amazing, heavy presence of God. YouTube - You Won't Relent- Misty Edwards

    The Man Cave concept ~ Men especially, please comment...

    The idea never bothered me, but I never really understood it until I did the "Laugh your way to a better marriage course". Oh my! That first session was absolutely hilarious and perfectly describes why a man needs his own little man-cave to escape to. That is his "nothing" box. Watch the DVDs if...
