Hey Everett, check out my article on feet. I write about other stuff too... its just this is an important facet of my life... and I usually only respond to other's articles. You seem to be a great guy to watch... I'm interested in reading your articles. It's a treat to meet you and I hope you didn't get off on the wrong foot with me with one article. : )
Dan -- I don't think you got what I was saying. Is he JUST doing all he is able... implying that he can't do anything but try to make things work right. It's my response to Stevendalus's article. Check that one out. Everett -- I'm confused by your response. You ask me how I define God's best. Well I believe God is Holy, righteous, and pure -- so whatever he does is good. I don't think there is a best because there is no better
"Isn't it better to view God as just doing the best he can?" Stevendalus asks. The parent's role is one that mirror's God's role to us, right? Follow me... I know a reason I have to make sure my daughter obeys when I tell her to do something is for more than just safety reasons; its for security reasons. That is to say, if she knows and understands I'm in co
I wonder if you could feel "dirty" for showing your feet for that... hmmm... I think my spirtual answer to that would be that I'm not supposed to do anything that causes other to stumble even if its lawful for me to do it. Like if I know a married guy has a thing for when a woman bites her lips a certain way, well there's nothing anyone would think about me biting my lip, but it would cause him to stumble or think thoughts he shouldn't, so I s
So to answer your question: Isn't it better to view God as just doing the best he can? The parent's role is one that mirror's God's role to us, right? Follow me... I know a reason I have to make sure my daughter obeys when I tell her to do something is for more than just safety reasons; its for security reasons. That is to say, if she knows and understands I'm in control of her and her life, I'm then in control of her world. If she views me as
I remember wearing them with little frilly socks. People wore high heels with socks back then too... I like avoiding pantyhose, so as dumb as I think it looks, there's gotta be some advantages...
Trinitie! You've got foot-freedom! That's beautiful! Keep being footloose! And you're right, who cares if anyone else likes em!
I'm sorry you had a bad day, Dragon. I wish I could comfort you. I'm truly sorry. It really does suck that you sent the item. Maybe it would help if you thought of it as being smashed by a large meteor instead.
Where did you go on missions to, Janders? I'd like to hear about it.
I like my feet. I've always liked my feet. Yeah they're flat... so flat they suction to the floor when when I stand barefooted... but I think that's kinda cool. I also like the freckle on the top of my left foot. It's just above my first two toes, centered. I've always liked it. It shows nicely at the tops of some of my dress shoes. I have an
Maybe I'll write an article for those of us who LIKE our feet... LONG LIVE THE HOBBIT-FOOTED! And I think all feet are notorious for smell... I'm not surprised by the information...
WiseFawn... Those are some great thoughts of wonder... I don't know why God does what He does. I don't like conjecturing about why He does things in specific circumstances, like with your brother. I'm reading the Chronicles of Narnia to my daughter. In it, a lion chases Shasta. The same lion frightens him while he's in the desert. The lion then resurfaces, only to chase them and even scratches Aravis's back. He later finds the same l
Oh, wow... I don't watch friends, but that sounds very much like what happened.... No, not hairy feet, he was just making fun of me saying they must be big and hairy if I'm short with a brother who looks like a hobbit. I assure you my feet aren't hairy. I like my feet. Thanks for your interest!
Yah, I'm not perfect... and it would be convenient... it certainly wouldn't be fun. (Bye Bye annoying sarcasm...) But Pet Peeves are fun to talk about... Trin, the girls and dates thing.... I'm talking about a girl who wouldn't date the guy all over again... she's just in it and so she's in it cause she doens't want to hurt his feelings and break up with him or she thinks she's helping him. That's irritating. I promised my future mat
Thanks. It was late. I was tired... but the story is true....
"He who belongs to me hears my voice; therefore you do not hear because you do not belong to me." -- John 9:47 When you belong to Him and receive Him, you understand... you hear Him. "My Sheep hear My voice, and I know them and they follow me." John 10:27.
"being himself in possession of the truth" -- That statement begins the fault in your first argument. You misunderstand; He is not "in possession of the truth," He IS the Truth. He, being "in possession of the Truth" sent "The Truth" to earth indeed. (John 14:6). "who himself was profoundly perplexed in his outcry 'Father, why hast Thou forsaken me?' — for which no kindly resurrection can excuse the sadism. Dostoevsky posed: is the suffering
My friend says my brother looks like Sam from Lord of the Rings. He joked that I probably have Hobbit feet too. Come to find out our feet are identical. My friend's feet are just as flat as mine. They both make suction noises on the floor when we're barefoot. They both leave no room for an arch when walking on dry cement with wet feet. His
Thanks Trin! You're swell!
My students had to give their first speech over their pet peeves. This, by far, is one of my favorite assignments to give. I have some, they have some, I'm going to throw them out there. I hate it when I'm eating dinner with someone and they scrape the fork across their teeth. Repetitively. I've asked people to stop it before. It's like fingernails on a chalk
Hello, My name is Shulamite. I'm a talkaholic. I know I have a problem. How do I know? My responses to articles are entirely too long. No doubt you've been "rooting around" on here tonight and found one of my responses. And you thought, "geez." I think my problem is that I've been a debater. Have you ever watched a college debate round? Wow. Can we
Oh wow -- see, isn't it funny that you call the panhandle the best part? Even after you've lived in Houston and D/FW. Houston is NOT nice... I mean I didn' t like living there. Great place to visit though. I live in East Texas. PINEY WOODS Y'ALL... Trinitie... Glad to have ya on board as a Texan... Brad... we need to get you some self-help tapes or something. Have you ever been to San Jacinto? Goliad? The Alamo? That's fix ya right up... </fo
You're right, Trinitie. He did say it was better to remain unmarried because you can focus on God better. However if you must marry do so without guilt. I don't know. I think for some, God plans it out really well. And if we are attune to Him, His voice, and His will, we'll know each step with Him and won't worry about the future; mate or not.
Wow do I feel old! When I was a freshmen in high school -- before I knew of the internet really -- I wrote letters to a boy going to a different school. We wrote for a year before we'd ever met. We ended up going to the same church and developed a very warm friendship lasting throughout high school and we're still friends. We could even then share more in writing than in person. He told me things his best friends didn't know when we were younger. Likew
Jill had a really great article on children's creativity. And I've written on how they absorb just every little thing they're exposed to -- they're so amazing! My daughter is in a weekly program where she memorizes scripture in small amounts. This helps her learn the Word of God in small portions. She hears a preacher on the radio as we drive and she'll pipe
