    Any one from Minnesota here?

    I'm originally from Southeaster Minnesota (near Rochester). I grew up on a smalll dairy farm near a small town of less than 1,000. I currently live in Oklahoma. While it is nice here (the winters aren't as cold, but we get ice instead of snow), at times I do miss Minnesota. Most of my family...

    God & Allah?

    They do not believe in the same God, because they do not believe in the TRIUNE God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. How can they believe in the same God, if they do not believe that Jesus is the Savior.

    A Muslim Friend

    A close friend of mine from high school, who grew up Roman Catholic, converted to Islam this past spring. I am struggling with this and how to react to her. I've spent a lot of time praying for her. I just recently started talking to her about some of her decisions. While I have answered...

    Good Christian books?

    It really does depend on what type of books you looking for. I personally read a lot of Christian Romance and Christian chick-lit books. I can provide more specific titles and authors if anyone's interested. Just let me know.

    Lutherans Living Lighter

    Thank you to those who have extended a welcome to me! It really means a lot. Someone mentioned the importance of spiritual well-being as well. I do also think this is important. I attend church regularly (every week) and try to attend Bible study too. I know that I need to work on my own...

    Am I depressed?

    I would suggest that you speak to a professional about your symptoms. I myself have depression and am currently taking medication and seeing a Christian Counselor. Before I was diagnoised, I often wondered if I had depression because I didn't have all the symptoms, such as suicidal thoughts...

    Sometimes I'll glance at engagement rings. If I'm with a friend I'll tell her to remember, so she can tell my future fiance someday.

    Baby Names

    I already have a girl's name that I want to use and I'm not even close to having children. The name is a combination of my grandmother's names. I have shared it with some people, but I think that some think it's strange that I've already got one picked out.

    Lonely Christians

    While I do have a desire to someday get married, a lot of my current feelings of loneliness come simply from the desire of wanting friends, people to spend time with. Also, I'm okay in being alone, as long as I know that I won't be this way for my entire life here on earth. I struggle with...

    Gift of singleness?

    I've also wondered a lot if I'm going to end up single my entire life. However, I have a very strong desire to be in a relationship, to get married, and to have children. I cannot help but feel that if it's such a strong desire, that God would hopefully fulfill it. I'm trying hard to be...

    Ever think you would want an unforgetable wedding day....?

    That is so funny. I'd seen part of the story on the Today Show yesterday, but I hadn't watched all of the video yet. It was really good.

    How can i be born again

    I'd just like to say that there are a lot of great comments in regard to this question! Lots of strong Lutheran answers! Because I currently live in what I would consider the "Bible Belt" it is hard to find strong answers like this.

    Lutherans Living Lighter

    I have plenty to lose, both physically and emotionally. Lately I've been trying to work out more in hopes of losing some weight. I know that I need to work on portion control and eating better foods too. It's hard though as a single person on a limited budget. Sometimes easy to prepare foods...

    Just for Fun: Things you never knew about me...

    1. I'm originally from Minnesota. Now I live down south (and I don't mean Iowa). At times I miss Minnesota, especially during the summers. 2. The car I have is older than I am. 3. I teach 5th grade in a Lutheran School. At times it's a struggle, but let me tell you that I have learned...

    How to take communion LCMS-style?

    When I was taking confirmation (which was over 10 years ago), I seem to remember the pastor saying something about placing your hands on top of each other, so that it appears as an altar. I do this, with either hand on top, and then use the bottom hand to put it in my mouth. Ultimately, I...
