I bought my mom a kit because she's really into ancestry. She has relatives in Sweden that she actually stays in touch with because of a mutual auntie. It's actually very interesting. My great-grandfather's brother has been said to have died on the Titanic. He had his ticket and his name was on...

Mostly, but on here, I keep mostly to the women, where in real life, I tend to talk to (and in front of) men more than I do here.

I was reading the Apostle's creed. It says that Jesus descended to the dead and on the third day he rose again. Question. Jesus rose physically from the dead. We assume he rose on the third day because that's when the stone was rolled away. Why didn't he descend to the dead physically, but he...

Interesting. I had no idea the term was originally Armistice Day. I hope they don't return to that. I prefer remembrance...and that it includes both WW I and II. They showed my Grandpa's and Uncle's pictures at the service in my hometown. :) So proud of them!

Yes, we do remember at our services, though bringing about a new name makes me worried that when those who can remember WW II are gone, the younger ones will only be left with celebration of armistice. I do see on the news and in the schools that there is a concerted effort to get the next...

A political rant... sort of. Today is what Canada has always called "Remembrance Day." We have cadets who stand at big box store entrances, selling felt poppies for donations. I buy a poppy every year and after the day is over, I place it on the sup-side of my passenger visor. There are 12...

What a beautiful picture! Congratulations!

I had to give up running years ago when I broke my leg. It sucks. But... if you like running, try deep-water running. Some people say it's good. I would still miss the wind in my hair, the variety of routes I would take, the fresh air.... I think you need to do all you can to protect your...

It sure is easy to guess about how old everyone might be from this thread. lol. When I was a child, we had a black and white tv with two channels. The Bugs Bunny Road Runner hour was on Saturday mornings so parents could sleep in. There were no cell phones, personal computers, or internet; our...

Krissy, there have been a lot of news articles lately where I live, which warn against cutting out whole food groups. I know a lot of people are happy on the keto, Atkins, paleo type diets, but diets like that put a lot of stress on your body. As well, they are not a long-term solution for most...

I am Mennonite Brethren, and they teach adult baptism, not infant. They do not teach the sinner's prayer, but they do teach repentance and transformation through the Spirit as an ongoing maturation process beginning with a first confession of the need for Jesus as the way of salvation. I suppose...

I think there are a lot of reasons there won't be marriage in heaven. In 1 Cor 7, Paul talks about how a married person's interests are divided, but someone who is not married is concerned about the Lord's affairs. When we are in the Kingdom, and in the presence of the Almighty, and when we are...

Josiah, I could only wish that I could eat out and go to the movies every night! lol. That would cost more than my mortgage, though! I do eat a lot of salads, but our hot season goes from about April through September, and now that I'm getting older, I just can't cope with that kind of heat for...

I didn't even know there was an advice forum here! lol. I really should come out from the women's forum more often. This request is not so much for "Christian" advice - though I am a Christian and I need advice, I'm not so sure it's a matter of Christian advice. If that makes any sense at all...

Ick. You have scotch. I'll have a huge mug of iced bailey's and coffee. :lick:

Stress?:disgonbegood: Stress?:disgonbegood: What's stress? Where?:Nooo: O.o :crazy: I have to be pretty stressed to actually "feel" stress. Normally I know it when something happens in my body to tell me I'm stressed. The last while, I thought my stress was mostly under control, but today I...

In BC, we pay carbon taxes - tax on the air we breathe. I resent that. I also resent that we pay more taxes than any other province in the country, all because we have the prettiest province and government takes advantage of that.

I totally agree, Lamb. There are a lot of children out there who go through traumatic experiences, both natural disaster/event, or maltreatment. People don't want to see those stories though because it exposes social issues that no one wants to see, acknowledge, or deal with. This story is about...

My own opinion is that media has not been interested in others because the assumption is most of others who faced natural disaster are mostly adults, while this is a group of young boys who were separated from their attachment figures for a long time, while they were going through the trauma...
