Thank you B.! Yes, I have seen this movie years ago and loved it. Great choice and, I hope you are enjoying your retirement!

" No doubt about it, lots of gay sex involves lust and not love." <---True and, the very same can be said about hetero sex ;) "It's not loving for a gay man to marry a woman unless she knows beforehand, it's just not; and love is how I measure things and interpret things." <--- No it is not...

God sure does always seem to have our own best interests for this life, as well as the life to come. If only we would listen to Him and follow His ways...we are a heart headed people. His thou shalt's and thou shalt not's are solely for our own good! ❤

I have a gay brother. He married a sweet woman. They had 2 boys...his wife found pictures of the gay variety and put 2 and 2 together. He fessed, they divorced. He and her are still friendly to one another. One of his sons is also gay...he's 25 and just came "out" to his dad. The other one...

Or...marrying the opposite sex to please God and the masses, only to cause much hurt and destruction to that sham marriage. The heterosexual partner will never be fulfilled in the way a "normal" marriage would. The homosexual spouse would be living a lie by trying to force themselves into an...

True Epi, We cannot claim another's experience in Christ. Just as we cannot claim what was directed to the Jews only. I think sometimes Christians see in The Word, something God did for a particular person and seem to think that they themselves can "claim" it too. My own thoughts are that we...

Anything I have ever read about M.L. portrays him as a very angry self righteous man. Rotten fruits. Just takes a little leaven...

Ha! Kind of like politics. Say (print) something enough times and the masses eat it all up and think they "have it down" and...stop there. Like a bunch of clones, really...empty sayings, empty faith...

Yes, I have read and do believe the doctrine of purgatory made the CC quite rich...I can only imagine their coffers beneath that massive "city" The Vatican. Not to mention indulgences! Pay to play there, huh? There will be Hell to pay for those things, makes me wonder how many poor people...

Thanks OZ, Yes, Stan suggested that and I did find it yesterday, and since it was not at all long, I was able to finish it quickly. I might not agree with all things C.S., but he is still full of wisdom and insight unlike any other author I have read, and he is still my favorite author :)...

All true, we need to be tested that way. And, I can think of no place darker than when He is silent, which can last for days, hours even years for some of His people. So easy to praise Him with such joy when things are going well (ha, fair weathered sons and daughters? lol) but the true tests...

Finished the book. Eye opening...some of the things C.S. wrote. I do realize he wrote from his grief, and quite poignantly at that! It must have pained him when doubting God's character but, oh how human C.S.'s writing here shows him to be. I have always wondered what exactly he believed...

I believe that. Since without faith, it is impossible to please Him :)

I too saw Shadow Lands, Anthony Hopkins played C.S.! He sure did operate on quite a different level. I've read Mere Christianity and The Screw Tape Letters several times over. I found "Surprised by Joy" a bit dry and do not recall much of it. I just read his How to Pray...he has such...

BTW-I'm about half way through chapter 3 of "Grief Observed...I so love C.S.'s honesty and openness. I did not even know he was married, short 3 years though it was. His questions are bold and honest, love his writing.

I see that even we Christians blame God for allowing Satan to get to us at times. He has given us all the armor we need to defeat Satan yet, it can sometimes seem useless in the storm and, that is when we need it most. Cannot lose sight of the fact that God is good, always and His ways are so...

I know how important it is to listen for His voice...it can be very difficult with a mind that is always like, 100 miles per hour, lol. It is what I practice all the time though, or should I say, attempt to conquer daily! I know He is there and I know He hears us...it is such a growth...

Just found a free PDF :D

I shall see what I can find, thanks :) I have it in my Amazon cart but, haven't ordered it yet...

Awesome reply Stan, thank you for the input! There is not one thing you said here that I do not agree with. Now "From A Grief Observed" is one I have not read by C.S. He had such insight. I will order it NOW, lol. In Him always, nancy
