May I say that reading through this thread has been most gratifying and hope inspiring? I really appreciate the effort to work past differing opinions and irritation to reach a point of connection. I may be inspired to practice patience today myself... :)

We are all sinners in need of forgiveness. We are all broken, in need of healing.

...words spoken by someone who does not have children. When theory meets reality, life (and faith) isn't so neat and pithy.

Rus, I looked it up, hopefully this link works: http://video.yahoo.com/network/100284668?v=2319224&l=3774730

It didn't seem to have a link except for the yahoo homepage...so I was hoping the title would be helpful. AE-I assume it's in reverse?! So for a beard lover...kind of sad :)

Have any of you seen the featured video on yahoo.com today "man grows beard in 90 seconds" or some such title. It's great! The actual title is "Joshua putting on his face"-very cute.

My first child was 2 weeks overdue. I was sooo tired of waiting! I even went back to work on my official due date because I had been sitting at home, bored, for a couple weeks. Has the Dr. "reamed the membranes"? It didn't do much for me. You've probably heard the stories about long walks or...

I was able to connect with the only Orthodox Christian family in my town because of an "Orthodoxy: Proclaiming the truth since AD33" bumper sticker. At church I had heard this family existed but when I saw the van with the bumper sticker at the grade school, I left a note on the window and got...

So if Adam loved God, unfettered relationship, etc., what happened? Why was there a Fall? How was it even possible?

UPDATE: Thank you all for praying. My brother got "caught" on the internet by his wife. They are hashing things out and at this time he has agreed to stop contact with this other person, to go to counseling, and stop drinking in order to deal with his depression. There's a lot for him to...

Kolya is in Africa. He's probably asleep. Oops...I just realized you are talking to Jacob. Never mind.

Heh, that's funny. I've wondered the same about "Dress Barn". ??? What are we, cows?

Thanks Rus. Kolya, it's good to see you!

a. He knows, and he doesn't care. He doesn't want to live with any more "regrets". (don't try to figure out the logic here) b. obviously the maturity is lacking yet.

I think my brother loves his wife too. He is just looking to feel better about himself right now. Today I told him that whatever decision he makes, he's going to have to make a change. If he stays, what will need to change is himself. If he leaves-he's taking the same baggage with him and...

Thank you for your prayers. Please keep praying if you would. I wrote the following in the divorce forum and decided to post it here too. Y'all have your work cut out for you :) : (begin rant) I've done what I can to listen and counsel him, honestly tell him what I'm seeing (he has been...

Can I vent in here? I have a similiar story with a twist...it's my brother who is doing the leaving. He told me last week of his intention of leaving his wife. She has done nothing wrong, they've had a good marriage, he says she's a "great gal" but he's just not in love anymore. He has met a...

beautiful isn't it? I saw that last night and thought of posting it...so glad you did.

Thank you everyone. He plans to "get through Christmas" before doing anything...so this is my target time period to pray his heart is changed. This morning he's apologized for dumping on me...but he's stuck with me now :) I sent him the stories of St Stephen and Archangel Michael and told...
