I watched the whole pitiful and disgusting circus on TV, too. And although I do think she has some serious problems, "Nut case" and "Crazy" aren't how I saw her.

A person who has been in therapy qualifies as being a nut case, in your eyes?

I got a bit of the usual hateful "Well, then, you aren't a Christian." rhetoric that floats around this forum because I told someone I did not love them. I got to thinking about that, and ran across this: The imprecatory parts of psalms are virtually always found in laments. Psalm 3...

It might depend upon how aware you are while in that cave..... The Parable of the Pit There are discoveries of God’s grace you can only make in situations of weakness. Here‘s a simple parable to make the point: You are told that you will live in a pit for one week, and then you will never...

If you don't find what you are looking for, you already have my address. But, you also know I have prior expectations for conversation.

A person who believes that life is meaningless and rejects all religious and moral principles.

The acrid stench and fluoresce glow from the turquoise lamp were overpowering.

I sure hear THAT! We do tend to go overboard with our self-imposed interpretations. I have, in the same vein, heard several preachers lament that "Christians" ever heard the word DISCERNMENT. They say that everyone and his uncle's dog swears they have discernment, in spades. And they use that...

This is the "wrap-up" of Chapter 5 of what (I hope) Sean is reading at this particular time. I thought it might prove at least entertaining, if not informative to us here. Why is it that people so often find things in Bible narratives that are not really there — read into the Bible their own...
