KFC Kickin For Christ

Tova, I was 24 with a three year old, a two year old and a newborn. All boys. As you know my newborn did not sleep thru the night until.......THREE!! I was exhausted. Need I say more? I am so getting you right now. Brings back memories big time. I remember my husband had 6 weeks left to finish his 4 year degree that took him 10 years to get. I was begging him to quit. I thought I was going nuts. We lived in a mobile home with

love you KFC. You're one of my fave's also Tova. We Christian sisters have to stay together for support. Of all the JU writers thus far....besides HC you are very much like me in belief in God. I'm planning now on posting more and staying away from.......um let's say.......bashing blogs.

A God of Hate or Love? in Religion JoeUser Forums

Hopefully Andy reads this because it's inspired by him by his question to me on another thread. A frequent accusation against the bible is that God is a God of wrath in the OT and of love in the NT. The OT contains many stories of God's judgment and wrath. Bible accusers claim this demonstrates a primitive, warlike God in contradiction to a l

No, you're one of the good guys...get it...guys? I don't think you've growled at me yet. David is a really good son. Of course that means next to nothing...really coming from his Mom. But if you ask anybody around here....they'd tell ya the same!!

It's been about two full months of blogging for me. I never really wanted to, felt I really didn't have the time. But then one day after months of trying to talk me into it, my youngest son also a JU blogger set me up (so to speak). "There" he said, "you're all set to go now...blog away." I have to say it's been interesting. For the most part

I'm sure many of the Bible's central messages make better sense when interpreted through Spiritual eyes, rather than through worldly eyes. Bingo. That's it right there Andy. That's what Jesus kept trying to do. He was constantly trying to take their eyes off the physical and onto the spiritual. The

Your Scientist son lost credibility there. Lucy was not false. He is referring to Piltdown Man. No...he's talking about Lucy. You want facts? Here ya go. Lucy’ isn’t the ‘Missing Link’! ‘Lucy’ is the popular name given to the famous fossil skeleton found in 1974 in Ethiopia by American anthropologist Donald Johanso

Andy, Got answers for your scriptures...but maybe I should ask Jill first. This is the no no thread for scriptures. She might get angry with me. I think you asked me on the wrong site. I'm trying to be "good" here. I'm up to my neck here in hot water as it is. I need an ark about now.

You've seen pictures of Japanese people, haven't you? Maybe you've seen some in person. I've never seen pictures of heaven or hell; have you? Ok think about this. I've seen pictures of Japenese people. I've seen pictures of Japan. I've seen pictures of Heaven and Hell. So what? I should believe it

I think its "sad" when people can't debate topics without getting catty. Thanks Tova. I'm not an English Teacher. I think when one loses an argument they feel they must attack the person. You've seen pictures of

Science *has* disproved parts of the bible. Can you give me specifics. I know of none. And I'm not trying to be smart. I just have never heard of any. Don't you think this would be "big" news? <T

Andy Boy I wouldn't want to follow that type of God either. But this is not the God I follow. Yes ugly things did happen and God did call for the deaths of the rebellious. He said rebellion was as the sin of witchcraft. But he's taking things way out of context here. I will get back to you on each point as soon as I can. God is all thru scripture the God of second chances. When you read in context God is constantly warning and giving the

I'm getting baraged with a ton of questions and forgive me if I can't answer everyone but I'm trying. I work in the CPA business and as you know it's tax season...it gets crazy and I can't be studying right now. Back to Jill and the chromosome thing. You may discount my son because of the "Christian view" but he was selected by Tulane out of 8000 applicants and they are not a Christian University. He is studying Neuro Science for his Ph.D

Have you ever talked with an elderly person who could recall minute details from early in his or her life? Dates, what the weather was like on a certain day and so on? Some of the authors of the New Testament were among those who witnessed the life, death and ressurection of Jesus Christ. I don't believe any of the details contai

here's a little something for ya... Psalm 23 (For the Work Place) The Lord is my real boss, and I shall not want. He gives me peace, when chaos is all around me. He gently reminds me to pray and do all things without murmuring and complaining. He reminds me that he is my source and not my job. He restores my sanity everyday and guides my decisions that I might honor him in all that I do. Even though I face absur

Reply to Cat's are Weird! in Pets & Nature JoeUser Forums

I love my cat...mingo. We've had her since 1990. The most loveable affectionate kitty out there. She has a once broken leg when she was a baby and when she sits on a fence or chair it hangs down. It's really a sight to see. In Sept we thought she was a goner...spent quite a bit at the vets. Lost a ton of weight and wasn't moving around much. Fifteen hundred dollars later still wasn't sure but it had to do with her liver and not eating.

Yes, Marcie The bible is about God's relationship with his bride...the church. How man is to love his wife as Christ loved the church. Committed, faithful and lovingly. God is always faithful even when we are not. "And he said to me, Write blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb." Rev 19:9 When he comes back it's to take his bride (the church) to the wedding supper.

This statement along with your writing style REALLY turns me off but you are entitled to your opinion. Well Jill I'm seeing that we do agree from time to time. I have no idea what that was all about. Looks cultish to me. I also started out Catholic so I think I'm starting to see where you
