His and my experience has been that Mormons love to sit and chat about your beliefs, and they put on a face of listening, but ultimately they have a very condescending view of anything outside their church's dogma. They just keep it to themselves better than most people. But keeping their feelings of co
I mentioned earlier a friend of mine who was Mormon; he was similiarly open to discussions. I've found that most Mormons are that way...I've spent hours in my living room talking with the missionaries who come knocking on my door. <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%" align=center bgColor=#FFF394 cl
It's very refreshing to see someone who can appreciate the positive aspects of her religion without being blindly indoctrinated to one church or priest, and can see and discuss the opinions of others without just dismissing them because she doesn't agree. Thanks Lord Shitzu...I do my best! <img src="..
It is NOT universal because it excludes those of us that worship no deity! Good point....but I did say MIGHT....
Hmmm.... true love is loving them at thier worst...nice one,though a difficult proposition for ordinary mortals like me ! Difficult, but not impossible, believe me!

Now, to pray you look like a freak and everyone thinks your a loser that doesn't deserve to have friends. Why? I pray all the time, where ever I am, and no one even knows about it. You're not supposed to make a big display of it, it's just supposed to be between you and God....just sit at your desk, cl
Congratulations to your family...and welcome to the world, Quinn!
Reading --my best stress reliever...whether it be my Bible or the current book I'm reading. Taking a bubble bath ---I just kick back and relax for half an hour or so, and the stress just seems to melt away. Playing Tetris --seems to get out my violent feelings when I'm stressed. Writing ---putting my feelings down on paper is one of my favorite ways of dealing with them. Listening to music
1/ what would you wish to be remembered for ? As being a good friend, a loving wife and mother....someone who could always be counted on to be there for people, in every way possible. 2/ what would you want your last words to be ? "I love you", said to family members. 3/ what would you like your 'inscription' to read ? Beloved wife and mother 4/ what would you hope
Great idea, Mig! I'm definitely going to start visiting new bloggers more often....just this morning I couldn't resist visiting "husband in hell", having been a wife in hell in a "past life".....offered some advice that I hope will be helpful......
If the child just says "I don't have to use the bathroom", that's thinking for themselves, to which the parent may say "Ok." That example seems harmless enough to me. Not if, like my parents, you weren't allowed to leave the house until you went...if you said you didn't have to, then you would be told t
Love and logic parenting is a philosophy based on law and order. We allow our kids to mess up, and we don't drive home the lesson of their misdeeds with our words. We are slow to lecture; we never actually tell our kids what they have just learned. We believe telling them what to think is counterproductive. We can give them guidance but they must think for themselv
After reading another bloggers article on discipline vs. drugging children, and being accused of being "a lazy, frightened, incompetent, unfit 'mother' " because I don't believe in spanking, and prefer to use a combination of Positive Discipline and natural and logical consequences---and because I have a child with ADHD--I decided to write an article on the ways that
I'm a optimist, who's trying to become a realist because I'm tired of being disappointed.
He sounds like a fairly typical 4 yr old to me. I think you might be comparing him to his older brother, and expecting them to react in the same ways....but they are totally different children, with totally different personalities. Just imagine that the older one had been born with the personality of the younger one, and the younger with the personality of the older....you'd be wondering now why the youngest was so laid back, when the older had been su
P.S.-Do you guys have confidence in me too?....Just wondering, no one ever mentions me anymore...... ....j/k Absolutely!

What is it about summer that evokes such feelings of romance? Maybe it's the longer days, beach walks or warmer weather. Remind your partner, and yourself, of the magic of summer with a romantic summer interlude! For your invitation you'll need: A 5" by 5" piece of a palm tree branch One sheet of paper Glue Scissors <B
Stating the fact that divorce and adultery is harmful to the family too doesn't do anything to negate the argument that heterosexual couples are harmful to the family Nope, it sure doesn't....it actually SUPPORTS it, since that was our point all along! <img src="../images/smiles/smile.gif" border=0 ALI
I'd like to know how 2 people of the same sex getting hitched makes my marriage any less valid or sacred. As long as they're not sleeping in my bed, I don't see how it has anything to do with me. Okay, you're scaring me.... ...this is the s
One line of evidence is that rates of drug abuse, alcoholism, smoking, depression, disease, domestic violence, and suicide are all much higher in the gay community Which could be a result of being reviled and ostracized by "society." What a concept!! <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%" align=cente
I've heard some of these attitudes expressed at various times in my life. While I know that they are not shared by mainstream Christians, it troubles me that they are the attitudes that get people's attention, and the ones that some people are likely to remember when people hear the word "Christian." It really and truly can make life difficult for those of us who are just trying to live the best Christian life we know how, and to provide an example th
