    Happy Maundy Thursday, everyone! What does everyone's church do for the Triduum? My church has a Communion service tonight that has a footwashing service early in the service. At the end of the service, the congregation says Psalm 22 while the altar is stripped. We receive no benediction, and...

    Not a Parent, But Need Advice

    Hi, everyone! I'm not a parent, or even married, for that matter, but I have something that's really bothering me about my future parenting choices. I am a pretty devout Christian - I go to church every time there's a service unless I'm ill, and maybe not even that could keep me away. I sing...

    I'm a pastor's granddaughter, grandniece, and great - granddaughter (and, in a few years, will be a pastor's kid).

    Confirmation Verse

    How many of you received a verse upon confirmation? I did not; I found a verse on my own later that I took as my confirmation verse: But whoever does what is true comes to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that his works have been carried out in God.” (John 3:21) For those of you...

    Anyone with Meniere's?

    I've had Meniere's officially for about a year, though I know the symptoms have been there for at least 2. I take a diuretic, and it helps. I also have severe motion sickness, as in I can't swing on a swing for very long anymore, and I have to take medication if I'm in a car for more than an...

    Words of Comfort

    I've been depressed since I was 12 years old. I can't remember a time when I was truly happy for more than a day. And yet, I know and remember the words God spoke to me when I was at my lowest point: "You are my child, my beloved child. I love you so very much." I may not be happy, but I know...

    For All My Loved Ones Gone Before

    Every year I lose more and more loved ones. My grandpa died nearly 9 years ago; a close friend died my sophomore year in high school, and my grandma died days before (and was buried the day before) my 19th birthday. Even years after the events, I cry and miss them dearly. They are with God, but...

    21st Birthday Celebrations

    I'm in the USA, and at 21, a person is allowed to drink. I would never drink to excess, but is it wrong to celebrate being legally able to imbibe? :o
