My blog posts on here seem to be getting some attention. That is surprising.

Controversial opinion of the day: marriage is, by definition, a union between male and female. That's what it has been since time immemorial. I don't know of any society that, until recently, ever contested that. Just as good is intrinsically the opposite of bad, marriage is intrinsically a male-female union. It's just part of the deal. Thus a marriage between two men, or two women, or a woman to herself, or a man and an anime cut-out, are not marriages at all, even if they're given the name "marriage."

Recently I've been really emotional when I get on the internet i.e. yahoo answers and I see people who claim to be atheists or agnostic or believing in many gods make people feel like Jesus Christ/God is all in their imagination. It makes me sad that people can be so lost willingly. And what makes me even more sad for them is that they claim to not care about Christians yet they're always out to prove them wrong. I guess that's true of any period of time, what people let their finite intelligence tell them about a God who is infinite.

That's a really good question... and I would say, no.
I think it rightly divided when we know we are the creation, and not the creator.
So to me I respond the creator in place of trying to get the creator to respond to me. I think this is the difference between relationship and religiosity

I see it this way the enemies of God do anything to keep one away from not ever seeing the truth as in being 100% forgiven by God back at the cross of God. Because once one sees this then they see the new life by the resurrected Christ and are done with anymore guilt trips from anyone else, because God has by a gift given new life in God's Spirit by the resurrected Christ.
How can one ever see this unless they finalize that God has forgiven them of all sins, past. And how soon is any sin past? So how soon are we forgiven? See? So now what does one do with this? Take advantage and not appreciate? Or get so busy in thanking and praising that there is no time for thinking about sin?
[h=3]Galatians 6:8[/h]King James Version (KJV)

[SUP]8 [/SUP]For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting

See that it matters not if one wants to quit bad behavior or not, Just think on it and what does one do after thinking on not doing it.
And if one accomplishes, then watch out for pride and boastfulness to creep in and think one self to righteous, when God only is the one that is righteous
Just food for thought

Had a dream that I was shot yesterday. I was being robbed outside my car by a gang, and was more than willing on giving money and possessions. They took then and shot me anyways. I survived though. And began to realize that no one around me cared that I was shot. No concern. Even the police said that they would be back so i can fill out a report, but never came to my house. It was quite upsetting.

Day 19

I wake up with a reflex to get up, but I really have no reason to get out of bed. Lugging my body to the coffee maker is the greatest challenge to my mornings/noon/afternoons. It's normally after the first cup when life is a little more bearable.

What strange things you have in your mind! You have a young body that works. You can learn about how it was made, by what power, and all about how that power operates. Then get in sync with it, get in the stream of living.

There is new information in the world, information so old it was lost and now its new and is changing the way the leaders in theology know God through the deep sea scrolls. We have known Christ for thousands of years, it is good, but it is a better understanding of how God the Father prepared us for Christ. One man explaining it is on the net under torahclass.

If you have no use for your life and body, great! There are lots of others who can use you because their life is more full than their body can cope with. They are other people God created, and need you. If you don't want yourself anyway, you have nothing to lose by giving use of you to someone who needs and would appreciate it.

OH SO many things that need fixing in my car. Had it checked out today. Left side wheel bearing needs replacement, my rear motor mount is torn, need a new stabilizer link, my a/c and p/s belts are cracked. Blah. I wish someone would just ram into my car, and my insurance can fix it, or write it off (preferably while I am not inside it) lol. Perhaps a mysterious wrecking ball would fall out of no where and crush it, or a tree could fall on it.

You know what's awkward? Sleeping with a sunburn on your back and shoulders. And my scalp is a little burnt too... found that out in the shower earlier. How am I going to protect my scalp from the sun while swimming?


I really want to see Despicable Me 2. I love those minions.

You don't have enough mentality to hold a debate.

I'll give you a debate. How did God create equal balance? Man calls it atomic structure.

Look dude, you need to take it down a notch or 10. You're very pushy and argumentative in every post I've read of yours.


Chill. Out.

This is my first time posting on this thread. I never knew this is pretty much "anything goes" XD so, here goes!

I am currently on the 3rd leg of my 72-hour hospital duty. Surprisingly enough, i'm not cranky yet XD feel light and happy even! :D Papa GOD be praised for the joy and inspiration!!!

I just finished an interesting case. A 10-yr old boy was brought to the ER with a huge wooden splinter lodged in his right leg after jumping into a lake. After bombing the wound site with local anesthetic, and making the laceration a little wider by cutting it up a good 3-4mm more, i was able to extract a bamboo splinter, around 2.5cm x 0.5cm (almost as long and half as wide as my pinky finger). I'm glad i was able to pull it off and not have to refer to a surgeon. GOD be praised and glorified!!! :D

So I got asked out by this man that I know. The thing is he is old enough to be my dad. It makes things so awkward. I mean I kinda know this man. I have to see him almost every day. And the thing is it is not the first time when someone who is way older thn me shows some kind of interest in me. I will start to think that I attract older men. I don't want to question other ppl motives-but I think (most of the time) older men asks out younger women out of wrong motives. Why they just can't find someone their age? And -> what makes them think that I would be interested in going out with someone who is waaaay older thn me??
