    "Does God really want us to become vegan?"

    I couldn't agree more. The way most animals are treated for food is sinful and horrific and most people choose to not look at it. I hope things will change.

    Before Spitting, Be Prepared

    Thank you for sharing. Boy, What a story and so much for all the children to overcome. Was your father a believer? I wonder if that's what made him so resilient? It seems so many people from the older generations didn't share their painful histories. I don't know if it's better the way they did...

    Asked to leave church by an Usher

    I haven't had a chance to read what others have posted but I wanted to suggest that in these strange times we live in church security is an issue. I'm thinking it might help if you could put yourself in this person's place and try and understand the responsibility he has for the safety of the...

    My "yoga" testimony

    Excellent post! This is so, so important! All these seemly harmless activities can be such a slippery slope. I know the Holy Spirit has made an impression on me when I've thought to dabbled in things such as horoscopes, yoga, new age stuff. Thankfully I never took any of it very far, but I could...

    I need insight, please

    Hi lytova, Your story spoke to me because without going into a lot of detail I believe I have experienced something similar, not a dream but other things and it was horribly painful and frustrating. I just wanted to share with you what I learned from my experience. My involvement went on for 2...

    Ramblings on People

    I've experienced this type of hurt and disappointment as well. I have felt let down by so many people and you're right, that's when you realize God is the only one who will ever truly be there for us and will not fail us. Ever. I'm happily married but my husband works out of town much of the...

    Anybody else have stubborn elderly parents?

    Oh yes! I feel your pain.My parents are the same age as your mother and we've been dealing with similar issues for the past 10 years or so. I live 1700 miles from my parents and my sister had been living 2 hours away. I can especially relate to the denial of the physical limitations and the...

    Any advice I could give to a friend?

    Isn't it frustrating? You want so bad to have him experience what you finally get! I know exactly how you feel. I agree with the others that this is ultimately his journey and to pray. Praying that he is given eyes to see and ears to hear and for you to be lead. Also, maybe explaining that God...

    The Lord's Prodigal Daughter!

    So many parts of your story lined up with my life story. Things could have turned out so different and I'm so grateful God didn't give up on me. I get choked up when I hear the songs Covered and Jesus Paid It All. Thank you for sharing your testimony. God bless you!

    God changed my life

    What a great testimony! I have struggled with the same feeling of soooooo much time wasted and your testimony brought to mind a verse I heard today. Joel 2:25. I will restore the years that the locust has eaten. It was very comforting to me. God is good!

    Food Budget

    Hi, Just wanted to offer a suggestion. I went vegetarian about 5 years ago and I'm continually amazed at how much less I spend on groceries. My husband still eats meat but has cut back to eating it usually one meal a day. I know this isn't for everyone but I have to say that I feel really great...

    Been avoiding regular church services :(

    I'm sorry this is happening. It sounds really lonely and painful. Maybe try visiting another church or two or three for some fresh perspective. Not that you're church shopping but for some fresh insight. These church bodies are also brothers and sisters in Christ. You could go visit and then...

    You've given some excellent advice. Thank you! We currently us a PO box but it may be worth it to get a new another one just for this so it can't be linked with my name. I really appreciate your reply and warning of not being manipulated. Thank you.

    Prison Pen Pal Ministries

    Oh wow!! That's horrible! It sounds like this person was looking for romance rather than ministering to them. My purpose isn't in meeting the person but would like to write to a woman prisoner who is seeking Christ and may need encouragement. I'd like to be there to say that your time in...
