    Purgatory?

    There is no biblical evidence for the concept of Purgatory. I suspect that it was created to increase the giving on the unlearned peasant in the early church who didn't have Bibles of their own and were dependent on a Catholic priest to tell them what the Bible says. Don't embrace unscriptural...

    Is your life dull?

    I might shoot myself if I had to listen to reggae all day. I remember when I went to the Cayman Island when I graduated college they had a band on the beach that played late into the night. I thought they would never shut up

    Videos and Emoticons, Oh MY!

    It depends on how long the video is and if it is a topic that I am personally interested in.

    Serenity Prayer

    Yes, I understood very well what you were trying to show. I think if you will notice in my initial post I commented about some of the things that it means to me. As someone who counsels others, I know that this prayer is repeated in part at most AA meetings. There is mention in that program...

    Serenity Prayer

    So besides being critical of the word choice what do you think of what actually was said?

    The forbidden fruit

    It absolutely makes no difference at all what type of fruit it was. It matters that God said this is off limits and they were disobedient.

    Serenity Prayer

    The Serenity Prayer says God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference. Living one day at a time; enjoying one moment at a time; accepting hardships as the pathway to peace; taking, as He did, this...

    Do You Believe in Ghosts (Seriously)?

    Do you remember in scripture where when Saul was king he went to a medium and had her raise up Samuel for him? There is no dispute in scripture that she actually did so. It says that Samuel told Saul he would be dead within the next day and with him where he was and that actually happened. It...

    Bullying

    I don't know. I see some adults that like to pick on others. Adults are just more subtle about it. Maybe it about maturity rather than age or gender

    So... What are YOU doing? - Part 4

    Me and my son have a meeting today with a clinician to talk about our diabetes. WE meet with this person about every 2 or 3 months to discuss how to manage our diabetes. He has type 1 and I have type 2. Mine has been doing good lately.

    Friendship with the World James 4:4-6

    I'm not saying that everyone thinks that way. But, I have seen it in some cases. I think it is a part of our sin nature to be impatient, to want to do things our own way and not to trust God with the results. Also sadly I think some people just see the church as a business rather than as a...

    Bullying

    I haven't noticed ignoring the bully working. It just seems to make them bolder. Now, there is a whole new level of bullying which didn't even exist when I was kid named cyberbullying. Kids have been known to commit suicide because of it

    Bullying

    I think that is the danger of bullying. I have seen kids who were much smaller than the person picking on them decide the only way to deal with it is to bring a knife or weapon to school and threaten them. Then of course the kid who brought the weapon gets suspended and possible legal issues...

    Taming the Tongue James 3:3-6

    I have found I have to limit the amount of time I socialize in the office. I don't want people to think I'm rude, but it is amazing how much people get into other people's business. Fortunately, since my job is community based, I'm not there that much. Maybe an hour or two an day at the most.

    Bullying

    One of the kids I am thinking of did actually have a meeting in the principals office and I don't know that this stopped it. Maybe for a period of time it will. All bullying also does not go on at school, but also after school That was usually when fights would break out when i was a kid...
