    Why dose God hurt

    Jacksladder: I'm far from being a theologian, but I see that you are hurting and seeking answers. Your perception of God has been seriously tainted by bad theology (Calvinism). Why dose God bring us into this world of pain? This is one that no one can answer, really. Or perhaps a deeply...

    The Doctor

    That would be the Great Physician. Was this a trick question?

    St. Euphrosynos Taverna and Ouzeri 38

    Oh, wow! I didn't know you were pregnant! Congrats!:clap: I just recently realized you got married. Congrats and many years for that, too.:) I'm preggers with number 2 at the moment. I'm 24 weeks now and I've hit the hungry-most-of-the-time stage. I tend to not hit that until around now...

    Veggie Tales

    This is sooo true. I can see it in myself as well as in others. My mind has been so spoiled by entertainment that I struggle to read anything non-fiction. Not that there's anything wrong with fiction, I'm just saying that anything that doesn't entertain my mind by capturing my imagination...

    Veggie Tales

    I agree as well. I recently bought a Veggie Tales DVD for my toddler age son, just to check it out because I've heard so much good about them. I was very disappointed. It's cheap animation, cheesey songs, and watered down Bible stories. From what I can tell, the things kids (and adults) seem...

    Through the prayers of the Theotokos...

    When my water broke 6 weeks early with my son, I took a small icon of the Pokrov with me to the hospital. I labored with this icon in the pocket of my hospital gown. Once my son was born we put the icon into his incubator. This icon stayed with him for all of his 3 month hospital stay. We...

    For the Ladies: Ten Reasons Skirts Are Better Than Pants

    I've been meaning to wear more skirts for a long time now (not just for church). I don't know why I haven't gotten around to it. Of course, on a daily basis, it doesn't seem terribly practical to wear a skirt for playing on the floor with my toddler. But I guess I don't have much of an excuse...

    ouch!!!

    It sounds like you're doing okay now, but I thought I'd mention that a very common cause of pre-term labor is dehydration. Pregnant women get dehydrated very easily and do not always have the classic symptoms of it (often contraction will be the only sign). Make sure you are drinking a minimum...

    aaaaaah the new look is awful

    I don't like the changes. To me, it seems less user friendly. I've been trying to figure out how to change my user title. I've just wasted 15 minutes trying to figure it out. Can anyone tell me where to find the page where I can do that? I find the giant backgrounds with characters to be...

    Vaccines cultured out of aborted fetal cells

    My DH and I discovered this fact when it was time for our son's first vaccination. We even had confirmation of it from the companies that manufacture the vaccines. Based on the fact that we are 100% pro-life and have no desire to have our son "benefit" from murdered children, we declined to...
