That's what I was thinking when I read the title of the thread... I liked it that I could cook, eat, shop for new clothes, fill the car with gas, go to the dentist, etc... all without having to be the one to balance the chequebook at the end of the month. Other things I miss: skipping rope...

Hmm. I don't generally make goals that I'm not already motivated to reach. Reaching the goal is usually motivation (and reward) enough. So...I suppose my motivation is keeping my eyes on the prize. :)

I graduated with a BSW a few years ago, and am happily working. My husband is finishing his master's in Professional Counselling through Liberty U. He has since relocated to Canada, though, so he will be recognized as a counselling psychologist. Neither of us have ever had viruses during an...

I agree, MoreCoffee. I think one of the reasons non-believers hate us is that we try to force God's standards on those who reject God and his standards. I believe that for those who are not practicing Christians, let them marry. As for those who are, it is not up to us to pass judgement since we...

Yes, I suppose the stove and fridge are kitchen things I can't do without, although the microwave - well, we did without them growing up, so I could get by without one if I had to. My husband would be lost if he did not have some sort of coffee maker. And I'm becoming more and more fond of my...

No one has responded to this and it's been a couple of weeks.... I do not have much experience with online classes, but I can tell you about it... I am an audio learner, so if I hear a lecture and can interact with the people in my class, then I do really well. I did not read one textbook...

My friends are generally well-educated, intelligent, and have integrity. More than that, though, is that they are "real" down to earth, non-judgemental, have a godly sense of humility and genuine faith. I have two "professional" friends who are not believers, and I have one general friend who is...

Thanks everyone! If you do this in the winter, throw in some dollar store gloves, a scarf, tuque, and heavy socks. And even better than doing this on your own, arrange for a church blitz a couple of times a year, or ask for donations from them such as a case of TP or paper towels, etc. Our...

My husband amazes me... we were at a Tim's when in comes a homeless man with his bag - what was "trash" to most people were likely some of his only possessions. The clerk told him he had to leave and could not come in with his "trash" bag. IDay went and bought him a coffee and we told the clerk...

Evidently, this is the driest year on record here, and experts estimate that it only gets this hot and dry about every 750 years. We are not allowed to wash cars, and our salmon are unable to spawn due to low water levels.

I have vintage items that I can't do without: Wayne paring knives, Wiltshire self-sharpening knives, and the old Corning Ware casserole dishes.

I have a bucket list. I started it about 30 years ago with 100 items. Every few years I will evaluate, cross off the things I've done and add more to keep it at 100. I had an accident that forced me to remove some, knowing that I will never be able to do them (skydiving, etc...I have a...

I smoked for 20 years - till someone I have great respect for told me that it hurt him to see what I was doing to myself. I was heartbroken because he told me he loved me with such truth and conviction that I decided then and there that I would quit for him on his next birthday as my gift to...

Hi, MoreCoffee. You've already got a couple of friends here... :)

We're at the Lower Mainland, BC, in the Fraser Valley. We are suffering through an El Nino, and it's brutal right now. It cooled off for a few days and now it's supposed to get brutally hot again. It only rained the one morning for a little bit. Our water is so low that no one is allowed to...

I have a physical limitation, so used that as an excuse for a lot of years. I used to run. Now my colleague (she has health issues of her own) and I have decided to walk every day before work. We meet up at a park where we have a duck/goose pond and walk around it. So far we walk once around it...

This summer it's been so hot that it hurts to do anything. Husband and I are trying to figure out what to do. I messed up on my holiday request, so we can't do what we originally intended, and we will only have a day or two... like an early weekend. So we're looking into some interesting day...

I just attempted to do an advanced search for a member name, and got all kinds of html codes and tech stuff I don't understand. Just thought you should know.

Bride of Christ Body of Christ Both because the two become one and the Bride is betrothed to the Christ? Or does "Body" refer to the corporate body of believers which is actually the Bride? So confusing....

I want my tombstone to say "At home with her Lord" and I want to be remembered as someone who was genuine - a genuine Christian, who genuinely loved...
