For myself, I give 10%. I find that when I don't I feel guilty, and I have trouble finding enough money to pay my bills. God blesses me when I give the 10%. Occasionally I feel that I should give more, and when that happens I do. “Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give...

"The Harbinger" and "The Complete Jewish Bible".

I was asked once when I was in High School why Baptists didn't allow dancing. I was completely mystified by the question, I'd never heard anything about it and I was raised a Baptist. Now that I'm older, I've heard of a few Baptists who think it's a sin, but they are all of the older...

Double post, sorry. Is that a sign? lol

Your joints tell you it's going to rain before the weather man does.

You have not wasted anyone's time, and you have the right to feel bitter and unloved after the treatment your mother gave you. She was blaming you for her own unhappiness, and making you feel guilty for it. Malarkey! Her issues were not your fault. Find a professional to learn how to deal with...

I like the youth group idea, but you should talk to your son and find out why he doesn't want to go. Is he just bored? Is someone in church harassing him? You can't assume all the other members of the church are acting exactly the way a Christian should-everyone backslides now and then. Did...

It would depend on the child's age, if we're talking about the plastic things or an actual cooking toy, and, honestly, what color it was. I would not buy a son something pink-others would make fun of him for it and he'd end up hating it, and perhaps get a skewed view of 'how things should be'...

Autumn mornings.

When my kids ask for something expensive, I make it clear to them that, depending on the cost, they will either get *only* that gift, or that one as the 'big' one and then maybe one or two other things. If they are OK with that then fine. If they ask for something out of my price range, I'm...

It sounds to me like he's testing you, testing his boundries. He wants to see how far he can push you, how much he can get out of you, and in turn how much you love him. Also, teenagers generally have no clue how much it takes to keep a house up and running, purchasing food, clothes, etc. The...

It would depend on the maturity of the child, is she OK with being alone, does she know what to do, etc. Also on the neighbors, are they OK with this? I first started leaving mine alone for short periods at age 12.

My 10 year old also sometimes makes his own lunch (time permitting!). He enjoys doing it, although he inevitably wants to make PB & J. He also likes to help make dinner. I can't imagine why a teacher would actually call you about it, except for the reasons posted above.
