thanks



I'm really really puzzled....how can someone just hate Jesus? I mean, even if they don't believe, how can you *hate* Him?....There's nothing in His story worth hating, really... and I know my brother has read/heard the Gospels..we grew up in the same house..I just..


I'm going to hush now..sorry to overtake the thread as usual

IJWTS - It is very easy for people to hate Jesus if they would choose to have that opinion. One needs only to look to the scriptures to understand why the world would hate Jesus. Then there's the fact that we're told that the world would hate us for being followers of Christ. I could have long discussions about this, but I'm like you. I don't want to overtake the thread.

Goodness gracious me. How interesting.



Bloated like a whale.
A pygmy whale, but still a whale.
Also ... either the machine is eating my bras or someone in the house has taken them by mistake. I hope not, there are only so many nice supportive bras that are actually comfortable to wear. Boo. BOO.

I don't get it either. I'm sorry he feels that way, but at least you know your savior loves him.

I was one of those who hated Christ. With a violent passion. I would attempt to think new ways to blaspheme. My thought was that if I ever met him I'd try to nail him to something again, but this time do the job right and keep him nailed down. I often feel that if all of salvation is a miracle, my salvation is a miracle among miracles. If you want to talk about it more and peer into the mind of someone like I was, just let me know.

Or perhaps someone is taking them and not by mistake. I just saw a documentary about a underthing-thief who turned out to be a torturous killer. How about you make sure your doors are locked and keep track of how little knick knacks are arranged in the house so you notice when things aren't quite right? Tape up doors and drawers to see if someone is stealthing about.


I have watched this a million times. I never get tired of the perfectly enunciated "We So Excited" I actually caught myself singing it to myself this morning.

Don't say that.
I live on the ground floor, with the back gate that doesn't lock and the front door that is rather flimsy.
Just ... don't say that.

I know they're in one of the eight ladies rooms. There'll be a rescue mission later.

IJWTS that a crazy guy is walking around in my office's parking lot, carrying a wad of cash and looking like he is on drugs. But I feel really bad for him. If I carried pepper spray I would go out there and make sure he is alright but I don't so I won't.

My office manager saw him and locked all our doors. And called the police as he is now sitting behind the dumpster staring at the kids in the daycare playground across from us. So sad.
