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.

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

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 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

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!

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.
