that's very interesting. did you see what the other guy said about Rev2:17 white stone and new name?

thanks for the feedback. its a pretty broad concept, I'd say that too but needs some thought (unity others in grace, compassion, with God) my day: no better or worse than others. sounds like it means a lot to you oh...its Stephen, not Steven, like in the Bible. :)

Of all the Christians I meet, the most common one word that they use to describe Jesus' message is "grace". I've asked a couple of Baha'i friends to do the same but they couldn't put it into a word. So, I will ask it here.....what one word would describe the message of Baha'u'llah that we...

Say does anyone know about the Bab handing out white stones or such to people? Thanks

Why thank you. I hope you didn't feel I was being judgemental but listing observations. Do you understand where I am coming from? Yes we all have choices. Do you think the choices available are representative of the larger population? As a teacher I had to be aware of how I taught and my...

"Yesterday, I had someone puke on my arm while they were recovering from surgery. Last week I wiped someone's bum due to incontinence. In both situations, I guarded their dignity and made them feel better. This is the change I want to be." Some people might want folks that question and...
