This. Sometimes we, as Christians, divide ourselves by standing by what we're against rather than standing by what we are for. Certain doctrines, cultures and traditions my be different with an Episcopal church than a Baptist church, but both churches there to edify God. They may do it a little...

Wow. Thank you so much for that insight, Glass*Soul. To be honest, I never really thought about how much alone time he needs. He does need a good deal of time to veg out and do his own thing, now that I'm thinking about it. I guess I just sort of figured he's a loner like his daddy. I need alone...

Everyone... I think this thread has completely devolved from the point. The OP has already said he appreciated the responses. He made the right (IMHO) choice and cited your collective advise as being central to that choice. Collectively, you've all helped save a marriage. You did good work. I'm...

Sorry to raise a dead post. I read this and it made me wish i could reach through the net and give you a hug. My wife has some invisible disabilities. I love her the way she is. There's hope for everyone.

There are s lot of privacy settings on Facebook, such as only allowing friends to send you messages. If they're are people distressing you, maybe you Should enable that function.

I feel sympathy for you. I do. But honestly after reading the OP, the first thought that came to mind is this guy's wife must be exhausted. You need to find a better work-life balance. I'm willing to bet you working 10 to 12 hours a day while she is home alone with a toddler is the root cause...

No, don't be sorry you mentioned it - again, I'm not wanting to sound unappreciative. I actually do appreciate any advise.

I don't mean to seem rude or unappreciative, but I'm not going to believe that gluten is the cause of autism any more than I am going to believe that vaccinations are to blame. If you found a way to live a healthier life, I'm happy for that. I'm also happy that your friends and family are...

Thank you for the thoughts and prayers. To be honest I'm a little jealous, Paidiske. We've suspected him to have an ASD since he was about 3 and it's taken this long just to get to this step. It's hard to believe we've been fighting this fight for roughly 5 years just to get to the point where...

My 8-year-old son went into his ASD screening today and he - finally - got the diagnoses my wife and I have suspected for years. He's has a ASD. He's high-functioning, but definitely has it. It's sad to me to know that he's going to have to deal with this his whole life, but I'm happy to finally...

And other times when Jesus specifically said not to judge people.

I'll leave what this forum is - and is not - intended for to the moderators. And I'll leave what is appropriate to call the "lord's cleansing" to my own judgement. As for modernist nonsense - you're the one that posted the meme. What I said is not nonsensical. Nor is it indifference or...

Oh, right. Jesus threw a temper tantrum that one time. That's cute. Jesus is the grooviest, though.

Wow. Kind of surprised there is so much adieu about a bunch of churches following The Greatest Commandment. I mean, aren't they supposed to allow everyone in that wants a relationship with Jesus? Why do you care if they're homosexual or have had an abortion - or are considering one - or going to...

I don't know, man. I think you're going a bit overboard. I mean, you can try pushing that kind of logic on to all sorts of things. Is my car manufactured by a Christian company? Is my landlord a Christian? Is the company I'm working for Christian (full disclosure: 2 out of 3 of those questions...

Far from it, my friend. It's actually more normal than you might suspect. Honest advise - talk to her about it. I know it's a tough conversation, but if you're going to spend the rest of your life with her and have kids with her - you're going to have to get used to having those kinds of...

Thanks for the warm welcome, everyone!

Hi there, I suppose I ought to introduce myself here. Name's Jack and I'm an independent health & life agent working in Sacramento, CA. I'm also a Certified Healthshare Advisor, so I also work with Christian Healthshare Ministries like Medi-Share, Altrua and Aliera. I've been a Christian for...

You should really talk to someone that can help you set a budget and keep you accountable for it. I bet if you ask your pastor, there's probably resources he/she can point you to. That being said, having a sin doesn't exclude you from being a Christian - that's not how it works.

Of you're pretty healthy, consider enrolling in a HDHP and open an HSA. It's a great way to lower your insurance premiums, lower your taxable income and start putting money away for retirement or medical needs in the future.
