Thank you for bringing this article to my attention. It is good to know that even in situations such as these, there are good people.

Reply to The Purpose Driven Life, Chapter Eight in Religion JoeUser Forums

You mean that my life doesn't revolve around me? The way it is worded sounds bad. I have a different view. I believe that God is love and that the trinity is a community of love and God has invited us to share in that community.

Reply to So, I'm Going to Hell in Religion JoeUser Forums

Good decent people have a hard time conceiving of a system in which you are not judged solely by your behavior but by what you put your trust in. Jesus does forgive murderers, but if they live a long life afterwards, he expects that they clean up their act. Otherwise they have not really trusted in Jesus but have just tried to find an easy out. God's measuring stick is himself. Since none of us measure up to him, then we are condemned. Thus he gave

I notice that you are careful not to reveal what little tests women give you that you can always pass. Looking back at my youth, I put myself through a lot of misery by not just waiting for the man I married. All the other guys were just full of themselves. I guess you have to kiss a lot of frogs to recognize a prince. A friend of mine was in his thirties before he met the woman of his dreams. His test was to go on three dates. After the

It's easy to be jealous of a writer like you. You write well and also have a source of knowledge that is quite interesting. The appalacians are quite a region. However, there are pockets like that all over the country. You just have to be in the position to find them. Thanks for writing.

There is one job, that is better, that is being grandmother. You get to see them when you want and they sleep at home and don't disturb your sleep. Just kidding. My twins were so precious. It was hard but they were so much fun and I played with them and wasn't a slave to my house.

This is a very interesting discussion by people who seem to know their history. Unfortunately, the solution to the Israeli problem seems far away. The settlements made it harder to divide.

Reply to Blind faith, sharp- eyed wisdom. in Religion JoeUser Forums

I don't think that genuine faith in God is blind. In order for something to be faith, there is uncertainty involved, but there needs to be enough evidence that you can trust that it will be true. You just can't see the whole picture. I don't believe that "God" expects us to believe him or in him without giving us some evidence through experience, reason, or a vision, etc. What that evidence is depends on who you are, and what sort of evidence makes

Reply to Marital Communication in Home & Family JoeUser Forums

Communication is something that women are interested in. I think that a lot of people hate the telephone and others love it. I like to talk to female friends on the telephone but there aren't many men who can talk comfortably on the phone. That being said, my daughters' hate to speak on the phone. Although I miss non verbal clues, tone of voice and other cues come through, so I find that I can learn a lot about a stranger through the telephone. <b

The only way this will stop terrorism is if the Palestinians have an area which is all together. If there is any crossing of borders of if the Palestinians are enclosed in reservations without outlets, then it will just increase the terrorism.

My husband and I have been reading the Bible aloud to each other. It really is fun to read this way. I used to be an avid reader. Now I am an avid writer. After years of reading--I have decided to write instead. Someday I will have a balance between the two. I want to read all of the novels of George Elliot, she really is quite good.

Reply to Beyond 1984 - The Age of Disinformation in Philosophy JoeUser Forums

The only way to be free is to now make kneejerk decisions and not to follow a party line. Most of us follow the whole plan. It isn't necessary. All you have to do is to make decisions on each idea and not to follow the party line. I've never done that my whole life and I don't now. I was a hippie who didn't take drugs and worked. I am a liberal who believes in Christianity. I don't fit any particular mold. You have a choice to do the same thing

I'm sorry that you lost a friend. Since he died as a member of Marines, he probably believed that he was defending his country. I hope that our country is worthy of his devotion.

Reply to It's all so sad... in Misc JoeUser Forums

Although there are wars that seem so reasonable that they are just inevitable, most of the others could have been avoided. But nevertheless, you and your husband are caught up into it. I hope his term of duty comes quickly and he returns safely. I know that it must be hell for both of you.
