But they don't really get all snuggly. Mostly they just poop and scamper around the house. It is best to know about pets before you take them in. Not nearly as charming to own as
Using your example of how the bigger, older kids (say 9 yr. olds)pushed and grabbed eggs from the little ones. Don’t you think that deep inside themselves in their heart of hearts these older kids knew they were doing wrong? I think they do. Let’s take your example further. We’ll take the 9 year olds and place them in the same contest with older teenagers pushing and shoving them in the same manner. They would suddenly realize (the N-Law) the golden rule comes int
The church I'm attending has a very strict policy about this. It is required by the liablity insurance company. A person has to attend for six months before working with any kids, after that there's a backgroud and driving record check. There are always to be two unrelated adults present with any children (including the nursery). In addition, when new people attend they are checked against the sex offender list. One man had been convicted of stat
Oh Mason, my heart dropped when I saw the title. I immediately thought of you without even knowing you had written it. I was worried about you and your back. I'm glad that you're ok. Good ol' Deeeetroit. I went to WSU there for six years. Used ta drive 75 and the lodge (10) ever weekday. Ugh. I got pretty good at it though it didn't seem like such a big deal. Of course I was a stupid kid and didn't know how bad it really was. I would cut through some of the worst areas to get
From the getgo, we are born with the sense of right from wrong, good from evil written on our hearts. We act upon this inner sense through our formed conscience which is tied to our intellect and free will. This is called the Natural or Moral Law and it is hardwired in us with no escape. I have to disagree with you on this one lula. I think that right and wrong are learned. We come into this world as selfish little creatures. Helpless, but selfish - o
I think my biggest concern would be whether he is continuing the behavior. This is definitely the reason to do something, but prosecuting him doesn't necessarly mean it will never happen again. I'm being realistic when I say I don't think he'll get much if any jail time. I've seen too much of this in
Here's the situation: (note: I really want to say this is a friend, but it's not it's me :( ) I have a family member who abused me for a long time while I was growing up. He was a juvenile (<18) for some of the time and an adult for some of the time too. Anyway, I've thought for the past 10 years or so that he couldn't be prosecuted because of the statute
We sampled a few churches when we first got to Richmond, and recieved no welcome whatsoever at any of them. In fact, we were ignored, I think that this is an all too common experiece. I too had the same thing. I've been looking around for the right church. I went to a methodist church recently and pretty much experienced this. At the beginning of the service people got up and greeted each other, any while several people stopped to shake my hand, no o
Sorry to hear you're having trouble KFC. I'm glad to hear that you've got connections. I had my bottoms out at 18, and then the tops out at 31 or 32. I'm not even going to tell you about my experiences until after you've had your work completed.... I'll be praying for you
Sodaiho, From reply #35 Moreover, QOD, the Hebrew you quote regarding God's name is a verb. Moreover, it is deliberately not written in the Torah. We are not to make a graven image, so mysterious and undefinable is this God. The complete phrase is "I Am That I Am, I Will Be What I Will Be." Process. Here for instance, it was lulapilgrim in reply #30, who quoted this scripture. Also from #35: You said
Sodaiho, It would be much appreciated if you would review posts and then to address the correct person. You are attributing many things to me that I have not said. This is making the conversation unnecessarily convoluted. Thank You.
Man's creation came later .... much much later. Ummm, my Bible says: Gen 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created him; male and female created he them. Further down Gen 1:31 And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the SIXTH day. and into the second chapter: Gen 2: 1-2 Thus the heavens and
or when he brings a girlfriend home Yeah Orian, do you remember back when you had to go to the emergency clinic for blue-balls. HaHaHaHa!!!! Can you image the look on the girlfriends face?
I'm glad he survived it. It sounds like a terrible experience. I'm not sure that if I was his mother I could have survived it. You must be very strong. In reading all the responses I've come up with a theory. You know how kids use hot wheel tracks to race cars aroud and make them do crazy things, or those bead play toys? Maybe he was imitating the same thing in his ear. The bead would start at the top of his ear and naturally follow the contour down. Unfortunatley his little race
Rituals, like workouts in training, help us develop discipline and focus. We learn that we can do something, we learn that doing and being can become the very same thing. When I light a stick of incense and bow, I am practicing humility and generosity. Now, I might not feel that way at the time, but with practice, just stepping up to the alter establishes a space wherein this practice can and does occur. I see ritual in a different way that you do. I th
I think the QOD has to do with our behavior, however, not our belief. Believe one thing, do another, is hypocracy. How do we keep the Shabbot holy? I'm sorry that I confused you. This is indeed about both faith and behavior. This faith I'm referring to is the Christain faith. And the bahavior follows from that faith. We are agreed about hypocracy. QOD, Thank you for your reply, though I am a bit distressed
conversation would turn to a 'rule-based' topic such as this I created this article out of my Bible study in order that I might receive feedback from others. I do not see this as a "'rule-based' topic," but rather a discussion of a conviction that has been put upon my heart by the Holy Spirit. I knew Christians who thought it wrong to lift a finger or turn a thought to anything that might be remotely described as 'wor
When I was little I put things up my nose too. What I didn't realize was that when they disappeared they didn't become part of my brain. I mean, did I really think all that bubble gum was going to help my intelligence or something? I hope it goes well.
I forgot one more point. I am the product of a failed IUD. There just isn't a fool-proof method of birth control. Ask my mom - she also got pregnant using a contraceptive foam. Just know what you might be getting yourself into.
OckhamsRazor, Please delete your post. If JU wasn't so wonky lately I would do it myself, but I can't. Your response is not in the spirit of this discuss. I'm specifically asking the question of believers. Obviously you are not one. Please do not post here or on any of my other articles, past or future. Thank you.
When you look like crap, do you really want people affirming that all day? Saying nothing at all would be better, unless specifically asked. But people usually know when they look like crap. I know I do. I'd rather someone tell me that I looked drained, sick or sad etc. which confirms to me that they know me. And know when I'm at my best and when I'm not. As for other - I don't really care what they think or say. I try my best to not take anything
Summing up: You live life the way you want to but don't try to impose restrictions on others who do not view the Sabbath in the same way. Restrictions on others certainly is not my intent. I'm inwardly focused on my life and what I hold to be truth and how I hold up that truth. Walking the talk. My concern for others would be in the ways that my actions would cause them to stumble. As in my desire for consumption on Sundays would prevent the
I have to say I was a bit nervous clicking on this one. But I figured something by you would be above board. Love it, love it, love it. Great stuff. Sugar, and spice, and everything nice! (though I think it could use some more baby shots at the end - I love baby shots).
One of the Ten Commandments is: Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor they daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: For in six
Testing to see if the upload of a pic worked. I've tried for months with no luck. Hope you don't mind Mason. You can delete this if it doesn't work - or even if it does.
