    bi-polar disorder

    I think that it is important to take your medications while you pray for healing. You don't know if God will use your illness to reach others, but without your medications, you will lose even more functioning. My son is 13 and has early onset bipolar disorder, and while seeking treatment for...

    Do you let your daughters wear jeans?

    I have only sons and I do wear jeans. I know several mothers that only allow thier daughters to wear dresses. They feel convicted to do so and feel they should based on what they feel is modest. Most families that are "dresses only" feel that to wear pants shows too much shape and could be...

    Mental Illness

    I also thank God for medicine. My 13 year old has bipolar disorder and without medication would not even be able to live at home. With it he is totally functional, serves in the church, has been saved, etc. The brain is an organ and can have disorders much like any other organ in the body. Yes...

    Seeking some advice

    You have been given some very good advice! Keep up the good fight! The only thing I would add is that if you call a local pastor, ask if they have an older woman who would mentor you. Perhaps that would give you someone to call on when you need consel and to help hold you accountable. Also...

If you search there for "trinity" you should be able to hear some very good explanations. I find him very easy to...

    How far is too far? *long*

    I personally don't think I would call the police. You will not be helping your daughter. I would seriously limit the amount of time that she spends with these children. What would you report to the police now anyhow? That a person is acusing you? They need evidence and do you want to put you...

    angry with my In-laws

    I see your dilema. I would also protect my children. I know that they need to learn to handle confrontation but I also feel they should be learning it from their parents not left to their own to handle it while visiting. When you handle conflict the children will see your modled behavior and...

    Florida Roll call

    I do listen to WayFM and JoyFM 88.1. I just don't get to listen in the evenings. I listen in the mornings mostly and early afternoon. Basically anytime I am in the car. Too many kiddos to listen in the evening at home! :D

    Baptist/Assembely of God

    I think that you should deffinately obey your mother until you are an adult. Since she doesn't mind your attending, that is not a problem really. I have attended an AoG church in the past and the teachings are "basically" the same. Our church youth group has problems as well and we are working...
