    Free will: may be wrong forum for this post.

    I am really really struggling with the idea of free will versus God's sovereignty lately. I know and understand, intellectually speaking, that God wanted us to have the freedom to love Him, he didn't want obedient little robots, but at the same time, with the way the world is going, how can God...

    Health concerns.

    Please pray for my health. I let the treatment for my diabetes (type 2) go a while back and now my blood sugar is back up again. Also, my blood pressure is on the high side, and my good cholesterol is lower than the doc likes. He says the only real way to fix that is to exercise. Please pray...

    Confused and needing prayer.

    I apologize if this post is long and rambles at all. Currently I am unemployed. I was attending college for a degree in journalism but when my financial situation seemed to take a turn for the worse, I decided to put school on hold and look for a job. Nothing panned out. Now I don't feel the...

    Am I the only Nebraskan here?

    Is there anyone from the great corn husker state here, or am I the sole husker here?

    Song that uplifts you?

    Today, I have a real joy and peace, and all morning the song "walk with me" by Caedmon's call has been in my head. What song uplifts you when you're down, or what song comes readily to mind when you're feeling the peace and joy of the Lord?

    Need intercession for protection as I do radio ministry!

    I have started to edit, produce, and even do voice work for our church. I take the sunday messages they've stored up and make them into a daily radio broadcast that started airing in parts of Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska and Missouri this week. Satan is definitely attacking me with bouts of...

    Returning member!

    Long time no see...pardon the pun. LOL! For those of you who forgot who I am, or didn't know to begin with, I am one among a handful of totally blind members here on CF. I came back to the site after four years away. Life had changed pretty rapidly right after my last sign in back on...

    the sad state of College ministry.

    I know I shouldn't post a link like this, but the articles found at the link below have given me a burden on my heart I simply cannot shake. Whiy is college ministry in the ECUSA in such sad, sorry shape? Any thoughts? http://www.episcopalchurch.org/21855_48507_ENG_HTM.htm?menu=menu48495

    Diabetes and other health issues.

    Please pray. I went to a doctor yesterday, and they are concerned, especially since it is in my family, that I may have diabetes. It isn't the insulin dependent kind, at least not with my mom, but it its diabetes nonetheless. I have to go in and get blood work done and have it sent to the...

    Advice Needed: feeling hungry.

    Hi Everyone, I'm doing my weekly fast on tuesday mornings, and this morning in particular, I'm wrestling with hunger. It's tempting to give in to it, but I promised God and myself that this was going to be an weekly fast, and I don't want to break it until about noon, as usual. What do you do...

    :prayer: Wonderful opportunity!

    :pray: Hi everyone, The episcopal cathedral I am attending here in Wyoming has a drum set they've been storing for five years, approximately. I looked at it today, and it really isn't in horrible shape, in fact it's in pretty decent shape, all things considered. It does, however, need some...

    Biblical humor.

    Did you know that Adam and Eve had the perfect marriage? Yeah, he didn't have to listen to her talk about all the men she could have married, and she didn't have to hear him talk about the way his mother cooked dinner. :) Did you know that Noah was the world's first great financier? :D...

    Help with web site.

    Hi everyone, Now, God Willing, I am going to become the webmaster for the college ministry run by our local church. Right now, as it stands, the site is...honestly...dead. It is not very dynamic at all. Can anyone suggest resources for Anglican/Episcopal college youth that I could add to...

    Need discernment.

    Hi everyone. :) I need prayers for discernment. As I have been spending the night on these boards, I've slowly come to the realization that I have a heart for a lot of the people on here, but especially those in their late teens to mid-to-late 20's. I'm beginning to wonder if I need to...
