Please just take a second to pray for me. My wife told me this morning she wants a divorce. She is 7 1/2 months pregnant and we have been under alot of stress. We have been together 17 years (33years old) and have been through a lot. Like an idiot, instead of being honest about a situation...

Honestly I think you need to take a step back and think on statements like this. I walked my little girl into church by hand Sunday. She was wearing a dress that probably costs 300+ in the store, but my mom made it from leftover material and other than several hours of sewing, probably cost less...

I am also dressing up my 4 year old extra nice tomorrow. But before you make a snap judgment, it is because her grandmother takes great pride in hand sewing her outfits. Josh

So your judging others based on what you see them doing? Am I missing something?

When I read these verses, I think back to my own life. When I was in my 20's and unsaved, I had a 400K+ house, a car that cost over 40K, boat, motorcycle, etc. I didn't have to worry about bills. In one year alone, I used an Amex and charged/paid in full over 50k worth of crap. I slowly worried...

My feelings towards pedophiles is more of a feeling of disappointed love if that makes sense. I love them as people, but I feel sadness for where they are at in their lives. Everyone has free will and chooses, but I try and remember I am not in their shoes, nor do I know how they got so screwed...

/Clap! Josh

Agreed. For 31 years of my 33 years in life, I was an unbeliever. I went to a "Christian School" and the judgment, exclusion, and unwelcoming attitude I felt towards unbelievers (and myself) darn near caused me to never want to find God. I never once felt love in their teachings. Thankfully...

I like baseball (Phillies) and college football (Auburn!). I will watch other sports on occasion.

3-4 years ago I had what I think was a mild panic attack. Probably nothing like you deal with, but I was laying in bed with wife and could not sleep and was looking up/out the window at the moon. I can't remember the exact feeling, except I started thinking about death and got extremely nervous...

Phillip makes me physically cringe. I feel so bad for him because I know some wires have to be crossed up there, and at the same time I get annoyed. Really interested to hear the real scoop on this guy at the finale show. Josh

I have the latest Kindle 3G version. I also have an iPad. Personally I love the Kindle the best. I can see it in the bright sun, battery is great, and it's easy to keep with me at the fire station or on the fire truck. In a pinch if we get stuck on the truck for hours and I don't have my Kindle...

I started dating my wife (first girlfriend) at 15. We waiting until our wedding night 6 years to the day later. It was not easy. Honestly, I think one of the reasons we are so strong through the hard times is because we felt truly committed to each other. Kudos to you. Be ready. It is a tough...

I dunno. I personally can not attribute any of the dysfunctional things I have seen at different churches to any more of a specific reason than what I call "loss of perspective". For me, it's about showing God's love to others. I would not dare label how that is supposed to happen or what His...

I have struggled with what you are feeling before. Totally normal. For me, I finally thought about the feeling I felt when I was truly connected to God and could feel His presence. That feeling was what squashed any doubt and my relationship grew from there. Stick with it. :)

Wheel of Fortune. Not my choice ideally, but it's the Captains choice. Go Phillies!

This debate raises red flags in my mind. Although I am fairly new to my spirituality (saved about two years) I feel strongly about a few things. The right way for me to live is to love everyone equally, myself being the last who I worry about. I have so much to work on with my own spiritual...

Depends on the circumstances IMO. Maybe it's because of my experience as a Marine, or my time in law enforcement and now as a fire fighter. If my captain tells me to do something I do it. Regardless of what I might personally think, I do what I am told because he is the captain. Now I am not...

Personally, a large reason why I followed the path to being saved is from the influence of my mother-in-law who is a Methodist pastor. One of the reasons I have been able to follow my calling as a fire fighter (making less money than when I worked my first job out of high school in 1996!!) is...

Hopefully this ends up being nothing. That being said let me be honest. In the past when I was dabbling in things I shouldn't I was very defensive and secretive. I acted exactly how he seems to be acting. Everytime my wife had that gut feeling, she was spot on. IMO, explain to him that you...
