A little background story first. My entire family attended the same church for three years. It's the church my brother met his wife in. My son was in the youth group. My brother-in-law and my sister were the youth group coordinators. My grandmother went, parents, etc. Well, some stuff went down...

This has come up recently when discussing the refugee children from Central America and many people erroneously calling them "Mexican". An off-shoot of this discussion is Hispanic vs. Latino - which is the appropriate term? Not all people are from Latin-America. If you call someone a Mexican and...

Atlanta News: Baby dies in hot car, dad accused of murder | www.ajc.com This happened in the county where I reside. This story has sparked a lot of dialog amongst my FB friends about what his punishment should be. They are hoping to charge him with murder. Some of my friends believe this is...

Found out on Monday that the makeup line known for its natural ingredients, cute packaging, and commitment to cruelty-free cosmetics has sold out to massive Japanese beauty conglomerate Kose. Tarte CEO, Maureen Kelly, sold most of her shares for $135 million, but contends she will still be head...

I thought it would be fun to post sightings of new products for Spring of 2014. Wet 'n Wild has released two new limited edition 8-pan ColorIcon palettes. I saw these on the Nouveau Cheap blog. Apparently Walgreen's stocked them first. I can't wait to get my hands on "Walking the Red...

you have a funny letter. Okay, so I ordered a beautiful, hand painted, Yair Emanuel dreidel from a website. It arrived today, it's stunning, but...it has an odd letter on it. I know depending on whether you live inside or outside Israel, it's supposed to have a gimel, a nun, a hei, and a shin or...

Judaizing, by my pastor, no less. Well, I say he accused me of it. He posted a lengthy, all-caps rant on his FB page about Judaizers and how the Galatians error is flying around. I've been trying to be discreet, but I make no secret that I study the Torah and am learning Hebrew. I've also liked...

I hope this will be an acceptable question to ask. I'm curious if there is a core position among MJs about a woman's place. In other words, women in positions of congregation leadership. A woman's position in her marriage. A woman's position in society. I'm wondering if MJs subscribe to the same...

This is totally a plea for help here ^_^ My poor husband is convinced I'm going to be swallowed up by legalism. I'm having trouble articulating, and using the Scriptures to back up my statements, why believers of Yeshua today are still expected to keep the law. We both come from Baptist...

Does anyone else remember the Ben Cooper Halloween costumes you used to get at places like Woolworth's? They always came in a box and were typically nothing more than a cheesy vinyl smock with a plastic mask that would usually cut your face up by the end of the night? Like you would go to lick...

So sad :(

This is an interesting topic that has been in our local headlines lately. Since the Georgia congress could not successfully reach a decision on Sunday alcohol sales, Governor Deal decided it should be up to the individual cities to put it up for a vote. Despite the clamoring of the Georgia...

I was sitting here looking at the thread list and noticed that nearly all of the top threads are not about ethics and morality at all, really. I suppose they would technically be more apologetics-based. I guess everyone grew weary of threads dealing with abortion, homosexuality and nudity in...

I am the eldest of three children. I have a younger sister and a younger brother. Our brother is the youngest and, obviously, the only boy. He is nearly eleven years younger than I am. Being the only boy and the baby, he was far more spoiled than my sister and I were. Compounding that was the...

I thought it would be fun to have a thread where we post pictures of our spouse, either alone or in a group or a couples shot. Pics of my DH, Jim: Jim, when he was in Infantry training in the Marine Corps. I think it was infantry school. He's smoking, so I know it wasn't boot camp...

Hey, everyone. Full disclosure, I consider myself a "Christian seeker". I've wavered back and forth many times in my adult years. I wasn't raised in a Christian home, but accepted Christ and was baptized by immersion in a Southern Baptist Church at the age of 13. I left the SBC fully at the age...

My husband will be the first to admit he isn't "Mr. Romantic". He likes his video games after work and he falls asleep when I'm trying to talk his ear off late at night. But he's also the man who keeps every card, every love letter, every lunchbox note safely locked away in the fire safe. He's...

Just need to vent a moment. Has anyone else had the year from you-know-where in terms of illness? We got through the height of H1N1 unscathed, thank heavens. No one even got so much as a sniffle. Then, around October of '09 the sickness hit. It started with my sister having a cold and my son...
