    When to stop

    I'm going to be 40 in October and we haven't conceived. It didn't help that I didn't marry until age 30 and we both agreed we didn't support going into debt for IVF. Nothing is discernably "wrong" with our health, besides both our weights being in the obese category. However, both of us eat...

    Accepting the Bible as Absolute Truth

    I am not a new Christian per se, but one who is looking to have a deeper and more matured understanding of scripture. I also really struggle with unquestioned acceptance of literal interpretation, but I am working on acceptance of the spiritual truths rather than measurable ones. Thank you...

    The Law of Attraction...what is it?

From my understanding, the popular book "The Secret" and it's related film conflates quantum physics and daily affirmations as a way to find peace, joy, and treat your existence as a cosmic cash machine. Basically you can "vibrate" your life...

    How's your 30 something going?

    I experience the same ratios of contentment/lameness/wistful in my thirties. I'm on cusp of turning 32, so I've been evaluating my year to see if any new areas of growth. However, of all the decisions I made I have only a few regrets and they are as follows: 1. I wish would have spoken up...

    Question about suicide?

    As a former Catholic, I feel I have to address this comment to elaborate futher on what is truly taught...historically, the tradition of suicide = dying in gravely sinful state = eternal hell was promoted. However, this is not the case today since the Roman Catholic church acknowledges that...

    Just need some prayers today from those who understand
