    A time for everything - seasons

    My pastor started a new series today called "seasons" where he quoted a passage that I will add in this post. He was talking about everyone is a season, whether it is a tiime of sickness, productivity, rest, trial, growth or whatever. Proverbs 3:1-8 'There is an appointed time for everything...

    God's displeasure with Cain?

    you said yourself that the sin is not named, so we can only speculate about what Cain's sin was and don't know for sure.

    Post 911 interest in God?

    I don't recall seeing any revival after 911, if there was it was very temporary. I do remember an increase in church attendance back during the first Gulf War when George H.W. Bush was President.

    Drunk driver

    I'm not sure of the outcome as far as his license went. As a hospital chaplain you only have contact with the family for a short period of time.

    Drunk driver

    What I have learned in the last 11 years since then is that there is no point talking to the man who was drunk. He is not in a place where he could hear it and your simply wasting your time. From my readings there is something called "raising the bottom" that a person can do. Because a lot of...

    With the families I serve that feeling happens often. So many directions you could go.

    Drunk driver

    When I was a chaplain in a large hospital in Raleigh back in 2006 a guy came in one night to the trauma room having had an accident and hit a tree with his car while drunk driving. His whole family showed up in the emergency room waiting area and i sat with them for a while. I remember the...

    Chemical imbalance vs Behavioral

    I get the idea of treating addiction as a sickness, but not treating it as what some people might do when they are high as a crime seems like excusing it. Just because a person is addicted doesn't mean they also aren't responsible for their actions.

    Cutest thing your pet has done?

    I know I won't take it well when Molly dies one day. I hope that isn't for many years to come. She follows me around the house most days and is usually sitting right next to me. She wants to be near me, but if I pick her up she hates it. It has to be her idea.

    Buying a new vehicle and researching issues

    My daughter recently took her Nissan Ultima in and found out there was four recall notices on it for stuff to get fixed. They fixed them all for free.

    We don't go anywhere interesting usually. I wouldn't mind it if it is a day or two but after three or four I am ready to come home.

    Cutest thing your pet has done?

    We use to have a cat that could tell when my blood sugar was dropping low at night and would come jump up on me and wake me up and get in my face until I got up. I don't know how she could tell.

    What do you do when you can't decide?

    If it is something like going out to eat then if both of us don't want to go then we dont go. We have a coupon book now so if we do go we need to pick one that has a coupon. Fortunately, it is a big coupon book

    Holidays and Married Couples

    Christmas to New years is usually stressful because the house is full of relatives who don't know when to leave. My grandfather use to say that relatives and fish start to smell after three days LOL

    Your Heritage

    I have a half brother and a half sister. Different fathers. I was curious about health history when I searched for my birth parents. My birth father died in 1983 so I never got a chance to talk to him.

    the meaning of Baptism

    I'm sorry that makes absolutely no sense to me. How an infant would be brought to faith by His Word through baptism. The thread links don't provide proof. They provide evidence of other conversations. the Bible is the only document I am going to go to for proof and I don't see anywhere that...

    the meaning of Baptism

    So what I am left with is what baptism meant to those who are being baptized and why it was done. When people were baptized by John it includes other activities around it such as repentance and turning to God. For example, when the soliders came to him he told them to be content with their...
