Am I going to help my neighbor today? Am I going to eat today? Am I going to go to church this evening? Am I going to go to work in the morning? Am I going to pray for the lost today? Nope. God has a plan for every thing. What will happen, only He knows......

My family and I vote. Between us we have five in our household who vote in all local, state and national elections. Believe it or not, folks who don't vote are making a huge impact on our political landscape.

So true. Good advice throughout this entire thread. One other book that you might want to read is "Love and Respect," by Dr. Emerson Eggerichs. I found the book very enlightening and inspirational, although it has been difficult for me to really put into practice what I learned from it. I know...

I know I shouldn't be laughing, but -- rofl... Oh sorry, I'm picking myself up again.

I think I like the top one of you studying the camera. The two middle ones have that light right above your head that detracts from the subject. And the bottom one is good too. But I think from a teen's perspective, the top one would be the best. (Like I'm a teen anymore. But I am trying to...

This is an awesome thread. I see, hear and feel the presence of God in it.

My daughters and I have attended Christmas Eve Mass several times and enjoy the those particular services very much. It's like all five senses are satisfied in one service in the rich colors of the robes and costumes of the priest and the children who act out the Christmas story, the fragrances...

Amen to Leanna!

Your pictures are all very good. They are creative and they capture the emotions. The ones of the flowers are very peaceful and glorify God, while the ones of the guitarists and the soccer players are full of life and energy. There's something about the portrait that brings a person to a...

Tell me something G'Nomad. How do you rate the different teachings of Scripture? What merits a high ranking among Scriptural teachings or sends another to the unimportant heap? You have me a tad bit confused.

Now I understand your comment about non-essential teachings in the Scriptures. I'm sorry that I mistook you. I understand what you are saying, too, and I think you brought out a good verse there in 10:23. I was just reading that this morning, to get a backdrop of chapter 11:1-16. Of course, I...

Boy, if that ain't the truth! Well said!

Loving God with all our hearts costs. Some people have given everything because of their deep love for Him, including their very life. Can't I give even a little something, like covering my head with a veil? That is such a small token of my love, in my opinion, even if I'd rather look...

Since when do we decide which issues the Scriptures are dealing with are essential or non-essential?

I've read through this entire post and can only sigh and wish the Apostle Paul would have slept that day he wrote 1 Cor. 11: 1-16. But he didn't, and so we have to decipher what is meant by those verses. Confusing, to say the least, but I believe with God's help we can come to a proper...

Thank you for the carrot. (Slices it over vegetable pizza that isn't pizza at all, but a crust made from crescent roll dough, a filling made from cream cheese, ranch dressing and mayo, and toppings of sliced carrots, chopped fresh onions, brocolli, cauliflower, radishes and cucumber, all topped...

I'm so sorry to see the casinos moved on land. From the governor to the gaming businessmen to some of our elected officials, grandiose claims of revenues generated by the casinos will make for a "better Mississippi." But with all the grand figures they've cited to justify the business, I've yet...

Could it be that your daughter is not wanting to go the direction you have in mind for her? Let her go. Give her a little rope. She may hang herself with it, but at least you will have given her the opportunity to follow her own dreams/mistakes. No one, no matter how old they are, appreciates a...

We have 4 grown children, aged 18 - 28, and all of them have ventured out except the 26 year old. She is a cancer-survivor, has less stamina than most and is unable to work a 40 hour week, plus she is unable to get on any kind of medical insurance because of her medical history. (She was on ours...
