Thank you for your encouraging post and insight, Lively. :) It really does help to just shine a light on certain troubles instead of trying to keep them tucked and hidden away. I feel lighter already. :)

That's one of the reasons I used to justify not giving any money. I know what you mean about the people on the side of the freeway with the signs, but I made a promise to God that if I was ever in that situation again, I would keep my mind from any assumptions and just give what I can. I'd...

I had an experience a few years back, now a memory, that I won't ever forget but I will share here. One morning I needed quarters for the laundry machine in my building and all I had was bills, so I headed up the street to a change machine. As I was putting the first dollar in the machine, I saw...

After the creation of the New Heavens/Earth, there won't be any evil in all of creation. Absolute good will exist forever with no trace of evil and we won't even remember anything about the evil earth. Isaiah 65:17 See, I will create new heavens and a new earth. The former things will not be...

I like what Hollyrock said and will add to not worry about what other people think of you. I don't have many close friends either and I use to think less of myself because of it. I've always had a skewed view of myself though. It wasn't until I started pursuing my relationship with God that I...

I'm not married, so I will keep my opinions to myself on this and just pray for reconciliation between you two. God Bless, Aspen :)

I enjoyed it too. It's one of those stories that you start and can't stop reading. Thanks for posting. :)

In agreement with the posts above.

Great post. :)

I was thinking about going that route. The one I have was given to me by my grandpa (a pastor) several years ago and is a little weathered. It has some sentimental value but I wouldn't mind using it for reference. I will probably end up buying another one, just to have. I may just do a...

As long as the presence of God is there with us, I don't think it would matter what were doing. I think we'll be so filled with overwhelming joy and peace that everything will be a cause for celebration. :lol: Personally, I'd like to walk up to a lion without fear of it mauling me, lol. But...

But I don't want to die :( j/k :P. I had to learn how to actually forgive, and not attempt to compartmentalize. For years I carried the burden of unforgiveness for one family member (lets call this person "joe schmo") which was fueled by another family member (G.I Jane). Being really close...

Will have to add a notebook to the list to summarize some of these lengthy books. Thanks, Lively :)

Sounds much better than what I was gonna do (scribble over the verses :wacko:, lol). Less is more..got it. Thanks Veteran and Gypsy :)

For whatever reason, I wasn't thinking about that when I bought the highlighter. I just tested it on a page though and it doesn't bleed through enough to really notice, which is probably due to the light yellow color. Colored pencils will probably work nicely, will have to pick some up. Thanks...

I just bought some highlighters (yellow) to help me locate scriptures that I want to remember. Because it can't be undone, before I do any marking I wanted to poll you guys that have done it or reasons why you won't do it. I guess it would depend on how many scriptures you've marked. I've seen...

Yes, this. :)

Matthew 4:4 4 Jesus answered, “It is written: [Deuteronomy 8:2-3] ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’[a]” I think this scripture from His temptation (and reference to Deuteronomy) sums up what Jesus meant. While Food alone is temporarily a...

Why he doesn't make crosswords? Because we'd have to be Einstein to figure them out. Why he isn't a movie director? We would replay the movie until we went blind. Why he isn't a referee? We'd never be able to question his calls when the score is neck and neck.
