I need to disagree with this, though much of what you say is true. There is only one moral imperative: Love is always right. So it's important to figure out what the most loving thing is in the situation. I'm not sure that ratting the betrayer out to the betrayed is very loving to either, but...

I LOVE your answer! SO important that your husband is your best friend. Otherwise, there's no foundation for when life struggles or marriage struggles come along. That's a long time! Do you ever talk about meeting? I have a best friend I met when I was 4. We were best friends until her...

I can see why you think the two quotes are the same because the first quote feels like an emotional beating especially if it's not true. But the two quotes are not alike at all. Being single is not like a beating and being happy is not simply improved morale. Happiness is largely set in stone...

In Canada, smoking marijuana is legal as long as the baby is not exposed to the smoke from it and as long as the parents are "sober" when caring for their baby. You can't force anyone to do anything, so all you can do is figure out how to have very clear boundaries about what you will and will...

Introspection, maturity, life experience. And the notion that when I give, I give out of the goodness of my heart, not because anyone is entitled to what I give. God sent his Son out of the goodness of his heart, not because we are entitled to salvation, but because HE wanted us to come to know...

A parrot would be fun! Does it speak cat, dog or pig?

Anyone can want anything. I want a piece of land where I can build my dream house and have a different car to drive for each day of the week. I want a body that works better than the one I have right now. I want a dog that doesn't bark incessantly at every neighbour dog that walks on by. Does it...

Love your pup, Forgiven1. I only like 'em cute and fluffy. I have a Wilbur.

Back in probably the late 80's, my dad used a cherry tree from the orchard I grew up in, and he made a floor lamp out of it for me. Every few years I get a new lampshade for it to keep it current. I still have gifts my mom has given me, and even a stuffed monkey that's 58 years old (I teethed on...

I have a sister who is older by about 15 months. According to all those birth-order books, our personalities are more reversed because she was always needier than I was, which created a codependent relationship between her and our mom. My sister and I fought like crazy - I was jealous of the...

I was 29 when I had my first and only live birth. My son is turning 29 this year. No grandbabies yet, though.

I let him know. He's going to work soon, so not sure if he will respond until later. And yes, he is well. :)

What if? Do you realize you said "if" 8 times in one paragraph? That is what I'm saying about taking thoughts captive and making them obedient to Christ. You can't live in "what if" because it steals your "now". It steals your peace about your future, which belongs to God, not to you. It is your...

If you are looking for and expecting reward, then you will be sorely disappointed. A faithful woman is not some kind of "reward." I agree with the others that you could benefit from speaking to a professional. But in the meantime, how you think makes a huge difference in your experience in the...

I remember great grandparents on my mom's side only. One side had a big property with beautiful lawn where the family would gather and great grandpa would play the accordion and we would dance around while great grandma would bring out the refreshments and treats. I loved going there! On the...

Tone definitely comes across in language. It was very apparent on the other thread in discussion with Tango. "medical procedure" "abort" "killed the baby" "murderer!" They all mean the same thing, but the last is disrespectful and condemning.

It's the tone.

People live according to what they believe. My auntie is a prime example. She did not believe her fetus was a life until after she became a believer and the Spirit convinced her otherwise. Notice the language? When the choice to abort is for a medical purpose, it's a "medical procedure to...

It just feels like an atmosphere of condemnation if a mother chooses abortion. They don't have to answer to me. They have to answer to God. I value her right to choose as much as I value my own right to choose, even if that is a path of sin. But in conversations such as these we are having, it...

I am not going to answer the whole post. I'm not interested in the abortion debate because I am not really pro-choice, per se. I simply am a realist who knows that women are going to choose abortion whether I agree or not, whether it's legal or not, whether it's safe or not. I certainly never...
