Please grant me the blessings of your prayers. I have advanced fibromyalgia and arthritis throughout my spine, plus I've been through a 3-level fusion in my neck. I feel selfish asking for relief for my pain when there are so many others more deserving, others in far worse situations than I am...

Please pray for my daughter. She is currently an outpatient in a mental hospital. She was emotionally and mentally bullied in school. The school dismissed the problem, saying there was nothing they could do. I believe what it came down to they didn't even want to bother. They made a total...

He was one of the most prolific authors of all time. He is considered one of the most influential and controversial authors of his day, and many of his ideas are still considered revolutionary. He set a standard for scientific and engineering plausibility, and helped to raise the genre's...

For those who enjoy fantasy novels, this series is one of the best I have ever read. It's original, without the typical sword-and-sorcery take on the world. But it is a series for those who are serious about their reading, there is no doubt about that. It is a fourteen book series, I believe the...

My own assault was almost 30 years ago. It destroyed my faith and my self-esteem, and affects me to this day. I learned over the years that sharing my story helps me to cope and can help others learn that we can survive, we can thrive, we can overcome our experiences. I am now a married woman...

I think the title is a bit self-explanatory. I am SquareC and I used to post a lot, but that was a few years back and I'm sure there are plenty of folks that have been around a while, but have never even heard of me! :wave: I am the resident Wiccan, at least one of them. I don't have any idea...

Does anyone have any new books in the SciFi genre they could recommend?

My husband is spending the night in jail due to traffic tickets and any prayers that any would care to send on his behalf would be much appreciated. Thank you!

My mom had surgery in January, a complete knee replacement. Then last month they had to take out the artificial kneecap, she hadn't had one in so long that the tendons could no longer support one. Now, after we thought she was finally healed, she has developed an infection in the incision. I...

She is a wonderful lady, a devout Catholic, and a tremendously awesome mother and grandmother. She is in the hospital and in Intensive Care. We are very concerned, she might not pull through. Please, any and all prayers will be most appreciated! Thank you. :crossrc:

Has anyone else read any of her books? I find her to be an excellent author. Her books (not required to read as a series except a couple of them, but preferable) are: SciFi: In the Familias Regnant: Hunting Party Sporting Chance Winning Colors Once a Hero Rules of Engagement Change of...

Servant of the One posted this in a thread in the Non-Christian Religion forum and I wanted to bring it to the proper venue: I can't seem to explain well enough the difference between evolution and abiogenesis. The thread this is from is here. It's especially the last sentence that I don't...

Are there any other Fibro sufferers here? I'd like to talk about symptoms, medicines and non-medicinal ways to ease symptoms.

I am of the opinion that no author, past or present, can equal Heinlein. Some have come close, but not quite there... So what are the opinions here? What Heinlein books have you read that give you that opinion? Which ones do you especially recommend (if any)... I've read too long of a...

I think there is so much overlap, not only in certain books, but also in the people who read them, that we might as well consider this the Science Fiction & Fantasy Forum! What are the opinions on that? I read both, mostly depending on what mood I'm in. The majority of the fans I know also read...

Here (in Houston, Texas) it's cool but not cold and very wet and rainy. So where are you and what's the weather like there right now? :)

I'm afraid I don't know what this holiday celebrates, but there are a large number of Indian Hindus in my company and they are throwing a large celebration in honor of Diwali. Would some of you mind explaining what this holiday is about, what it celebrates? Thank you! :wave:

I am Pagan and one of the primary tenets of my religion is the sacredness of Nature. I am thus a staunch environmentalist. Most of us are. We consider it our solemn duty to defend Mother Earth from those who would defile her. We consider it our sacred duty to stand against the rape of the planet...

As a Wiccan, my primary belief is in the primacy of Nature in all Her glory. I believe in Evolution as guided by the Goddess, with the help of Her Lord. I do not consider it to be a random collusion of events, but rather the sign of Her hand in Her most primal form, Her method of Creation. I do...
