Aloha, my dear, it's good to be here. I am sorry about your brother......I know that over 95% of those diagnosed with pancreatic cancer do not survive the first year. My dad presently has brain cancer, and is in the hospital, where he's been since shortly before Hurricane Katrina. So I am...

Presser, I have experienced many Christian denominations over my five decades, have come from a largely conservative family and have a very conserative spouse. I am finding that, with each passing year, I am less certain of things I would have bet my life on years back. The older I get, the...

Peekaboo.......I'm back.:o A lot of real life has gone under the bridge since I was last here. For one thing, my hubby had pancreatic cancer, had his pancreas removed on Nov. 17, 2004. He is presently cancer-free, a miracle for which we are all thankfully amazed. Between schoolwork and...

In Hebrews 4, there is a verse that says that Jesus was tempted in every way that we are. I have come to doubt that, for the simple reason of my gender. It occurred to me years ago, when I was still bearing children, that Jesus had never experienced temptations exclusive to wives or mothers...

I read a book this summer called In Tthe Shadow of the Net, about people who have problems with addictive sexual behaviors online. It was a very eye-opening book, a very convicting book in some ways, and it has me still mulling over some issues and wondering where the lines should be drawn. I...

Welcome, dear, I anticipate getting to know you through your posts.:cool:

Elizabeth, there are definite emotional walls....we have been happily wed for decades, but there are areas in which there is lack of trust. I don't want him to see everything I do while I'm online. He and I disagree about what is appropriate. He has a very narrow view of what is acceptable and...

Since discovering the world of internet forums a year and a half ago, I am finding my private world consisting more and more of my interactions within forum "communities." I consider my "forum friends" my real friends, feel that there are no persons in my "real life" (other than family) that are...

Hey everyone....I haven't been around these past few months, except for a peek....but I need to get back in and spend some time here. I apologize for jumping in so enthusiasticaslly and then suddenly vanishing. I'll be waiting to get my "penance"! I play and mod at several other forums, but I...

Hi Dave! For me, the concept of "assurance of salvation" means that once I gave my life over to Christ as my master, model, and savior, my salvation is a done deal, and cannot be takemn from me. Salvation for Mennonites means much more than a :fire insurance policy." It encompasses shalom...

Re:Introducing myself Glad to make your acquaintance, Theory. See ya on the boards.

Greetings, Arch, adore your avatar. You are right, music is by its nature a spiritual thing, touching parts of us we don't always allow to be touched. For myself, there are some pieces of music which, when I hear them, produce a positive, life-affirming feeling in me, or perhaps get me to think...

"Mainstream" Anabaptist theology - if there can be said to be such a thing - is solidly trinitarian. But it intrigues me that you caught a hint otherwise, because Menno Simons actually was very fuzzy on the nature of Jesus. Mennonites definitely do place extreme emphasis on the primacy of being...

Thanks Brian. Just some quickie facts..... The Anabaptists were a major part of what has been called the "Radical Reformation." Some folks thought the Protestant reformers weren't going far enough to purify the Roman Catholic Church. One of the battle grounds in Zurich during the early 1500's...

Brian suggested I start a thread about Mennonites, and I am glad to do so. I will post something about their history, practice, and beliefs a bit later today when I get more time, but I wanted to get the topic up and running. Does anyone have any specific questions about Anabaptists...

There is a French community named Taize that has some extraordinarily worshipful choral music out. I like the Irish group Iona, and the solo albums of Maire Brennan. Celtic music in general....Davy Spillane's pipes, Katie McMahon's voice. Michael Card....Rich Mullins.....Third Day Believe it or...

Dang, Brian, why do I let you rattle my brain like this? I have no idea what it is I have yet to achieve. I've been married 32 years, have a hubby who adores me and thinks I'm still the sexiest woman he knows, have four gifted fun children, and am materially pretty comfortable when compared to...

Your fairy is called Moth Demonfilter She is a wicked and mischievous child She lives close to crystal caverns and stalagtite grottos She is only seen on midsummer's eve I was pleasantly surprised by the naughty nature of my fairy.......perhaps I am finally outliving my old label of...
