First Baptist- small town, midwest :)

My 13 year old cousin has Chiari but it wasn't diagnosed until he saw a doctor regarding scoliosis. Right now he is wearing a brace for that and although he has no other symptoms, he's having his surgery next summer.

Sharp, believe it or not, I like you. You do make one think. Point of fact: last week at our church we had a young couple attend and tell a group of us afterwards they've been searching for a new church. They've been to 11 churches in the past weeks and after the first 3, they stopped...

Hi Elanor :) The youth group at church inspired me greatly this week. They led the services and served lunch afterwards. Then after that they worked at a Food Bank and held a 30 hour lock-in (without food) to raise money for famines. I had to be locked in with them, and I couldn't make...

Personally I have been wary of organized religion for years because of the church I was raised in. Not everyone has an easy time finding a good church or good people to fellowship with. Thankfully I have now but for years my Bible studies and prayer partners came from the Billy Graham site...

Imagine my surprise that you and I are reading the same one.

Personally I find chemical depression an abyss and special hell all its own. I don't know about labels. I do know your small acts of kindness are huge to those who receive them and I know nothing more Christian than that.

Because it's not only become abundantly clear in life, but also during my short stay here, that I simply have nowhere else to go.

Hi :wave: I like trials, too. And Nancy Grace :) I see a difference between the two men, though. Peterson seems mainly just kind of cold or something. Hacking seems extremely mentally ill. I'm not saying if he's guilty he shouldn't be held accountable. I just don't see a lot of...

HUGE LOTR fan here! I've usually got one of the 3 movies in my DVD player at all times. I sat here for awhile debating characters amongst myself, and I guess Aragorn is my favorite, but that's probably because I love Viggo :) Sam is a great hero, and Eowyn's "I am no man" is a great...

It does make sense. A whole lot of sense. I've always subscribed to the theory they obsess because they hate that very thing about themselves. This gives me something new to ponder... :scratch: :D

Welcome to the club :) I can only say the turning point came for me when I realized my love for Christ is fierce, my belief in His Lordship is solid, and it really doesn't matter if someone else would like to question my faith. That's their problem, not mine. It does hurt, though, very...

I should've said that I don't think the dancers are showing off in any way. It seems to very much be done as a witness and form of worship. Thanks for your responses :) I've just always been curious about the issue.

My church is American Baptist and we have a ballet troupe, or dance team, and they perform during special services. They don't wear revealing costumes or anything. I'm on the fence about it myself. I don't love it or hate it. I've asked my pastor about it and while he doesn't love it either...

"The First Elizabeth" by Carolly Erickson is one of my favorite books.

Your brothers might have deeper respect for you than you know. Or even they know. Or they might be at that age where they'd never show it anyways. ;) One thing I've noticed with my younger non-Christian family members is they might make fun of me sometimes, but they are sure watching me...

tattedsaint, I am 12 years clean and sober and realize what struggles you are facing with these addictions. But please know that it can be done and there is hope. If you ever need someone to talk to feel free to pm or email me. peace, firefly
