interesting. This might just be a fight between the ACLU and the Alliance Defense Fund. And we're here on the sidelines getting sucked up in the process . What used to be normalspeak when it comes to God and religion now becomes carefulspeak. It's also odd. Glad I'm not a History teacher.

Ohh.. it's just the cat....(..?the cat rang the doorbell??).....ohh and some more Christmas presents.. "Please give to...From.... Sorry , can't make it to your party."..Oh, ok. Will you close the door? It's freezing out there.
“T’were some nights before Christmas Bloggers ‘round JU Superficially speaking, Some in jest, some insane, save a few.” Or so could’ve this adapted bastardized version of Clement Clarke Moore’s famous poem purportedly written for his two daughter
Good article! It was just waiting to be said.
sorry 'bout posting my comments twice but I didn't know how to get this first cancelled.
1. Is this one of vanessa's jokes?? Is this for reall?? if it is for real.. 2. my love 3. with my love and kids 4. my love and kids 5. pray together, I suppose you forgot : If there was a time capsule for you to leave 3 things into for (future)space generations to discover on who you were what would these be?

-last picture of you - "Wow". darn. I'm always late.
Be hearing from you T.whine ! (Do I drop the Wahine now?) Have safe and restful flight!
I don't really know if this would work for your boys, but what I did was to get mine sort of conditioned to a ritual (It could be anything..night prayers..bedtime stories..dreamtime whatever you can invent) before bedtime. The ritual has to be something they have to actively participate in and you could even make it fun. With the first few tries, it'll be a pain, and you'll probably find yourself waking up in the early am, having had to sleep along wit
jeez, I'm late again, you guys. It's Scott. Y' know, like scott-er- brain. In the real world, I respond to Jun (w/out the "e"). Hi Y'all. Named after a Flower..hence in bloom lemmesee... magnolia..? dogwood?..bird of paradise?..chrysanthemum (that's 13, but I might've misspelled it)..you're c
That is a real understatement! You're right. Part of my personality, I guess. I'm too polite.
I think the first question a patient has to hear answered ( by trusted, reliable sources, of course) is: Is the surgery urgently needed ? Even if it were a breast implant, liposuction, nose lift or any other cosmetic surgery, the patient him/herself ,in concert with the surgeon, would know its necessity. If the answer to that question is Yes, then get it over with. Plan carefully. Choose carefully. Ask around, but get it over with. Life is filled with
Along the street where my parents live, small shop owners line up on one side facing the row of parking meters and aligned cars leaving you with just enough sidewalk space to walk your way through so that you tend to get to know them as well as you exchange greetings on your way for a visit. The faces haven’t changed much. Mr.So still has his mini-grocery. Jay Stimpfl
I can just anticipate the local grocery store conversation: "You'll have to pay in pounds, now, ma'm" "I know that, you smart-ass. That's why I'm dieting" Great Post!!
I still remember the magic it gave when I was five - waking up and going straight to my assigned Christmas stocking to see what I got. I don't ever remember thinking how "bad" my parents were for lying about Santa and just took to the brotherly chore of being "Santa' to my own younger cousins and sisters when the time was ripe for me. There was this one time I even had to work out a story to my 5 -yr old daughter who got severly sick just before Christ
So, all in all I just have to sum this blog up as distinguishing between having a personal belief system - being faithful to its teachings for the personal guide or conduct of our lives - and that of institutionalized religions ( to include anti-theism and agnosticism) wishing to redirect societal laws for their own agenda. They're not the same thing. The consequence of doing the latter -as shown by the practicing theocracies of today - is ultim
delayed as I usually am, so glad to know you're ok and ready to blog back. Carry on, T.whine.
you may be right, I mean correct there. Pity.
" Religion For God ,Home for all" - correct me as to my interpretation, would this be similar to "Give to Ceasar what belongs to Ceasar; To God what belongs to God"?
Scattersez: JEWISH STATE ? ISLAMIC STATE ? NOW THE US – THE CHRISTIAN STATE ? ( TOYING WITH THEOCRACIES ) Touchy topic this.. We usually thought of beliefs as something personal, in fact we kept this topic out of polite conversation and in some ways I’m glad there’s this blogsite thought-p
sometimes comments and name-calling in this blogsphere can really be over-enthusiastic, provocative, if not downright mean. I don't really know the statistics on this, but I would say, in the main, just about the same number of underhanded name-calling exist on both sides of the political camp. It really isn't a "liberal" or "left-winger" monopoly. I guess the only thing to do is to continue showing the bases for one's beliefs to deal with be
If I were Santa, I'd make sure you see a new TV set in your living room when you wake up the next morning. But I'm betting Santa'll still come around for you. Rest easy, supermom. Today, the TV set, tomorrow , the world (with your blogs, of course) Happy Holidays!
oh i knew exactly who was responsible for this title. right on. I said to myself, either the firewalls are becoming too easy for spammers..or it's mignuna. catchy title for a provocative article. Kudos!
sorry for the delayed reply, kingb. Now that you mentioned it, she had this compilation of letters she wrote and the replies she received from her late husband during the period they were separated due to her training. She went to them often and finally bookbound them and made them part of her library. If there were things couples could learn to maintain their relationships, I guess they'd find it there.
-no diary, but definitely a lot of publications,standing as testimony to her life. maybe that's enough.
