    How much influence should your parents have in your life

    I think there are a lot of variables. Your age makes a big difference. For me I respected my parents. My father has passed on but the influence of his example has stayed with me. He was honest and a visionary. He taught me some important life lessons. My mother is one of the most hard working...

    Oneness or Trinitarian

    No feeding the kitty with people food. It is best if he stays on his regularly scheduled kitty kibbles, and definitely no chocolate. I am not cleaning that mess! @Lynx no pouting.

    migrants, natives and refugees

    I think that the issue of immigration is much larger than people wanting to live in the U.S.A. Many of the members of this site are from different countries. There are many Americans who were shocked to find out that they can't just move to Canada. When we look at being an immigrant, I don't...

    A Collective About Collections.

    And the people who make you happy. Years ago I was reflecting on my time usage and realized I hadn't seen one of my good friends, face to face, in two years. Unfortunately I felt obliged to see someone who was bitter and unkind, every other week. I made a decision to change that around. I've...

    A Collective About Collections.

    When I was younger I would collect bells. I still have an old one the type they'd have used at a hotel reception, when they'd call for the bellboy. Mine were mostly cheap souvenir pieces but I thought they were beautiful. As we'd moved a lot I didn't end up with much from my childhood but I had...

    Tragic loss

    I am so very sad for you. There are no words for this sort of pain. I ask God to shelter you under his wing. Please forgive people for the things that they may say while trying to comfort you. We mean well but we are floundering. I am so sorry.

    Does everyone drive?

    Several places I've lived did not have access to good public transportation. When I started working after university, it was either 1 hour 40 minutes on public transportation, including a transfer at a sketchy bus stop or a 20-25 minute drive. I started with the bus but after having someone...

    Jesus granted you days of life in order to be useful in His hands

    I hear what you are saying and I understand that our life is not to be a series of meaningless entertainments. This is true. I would also offer a different thought. I believe that we were given the need to find our purpose. Our purpose is to be in relationship with God. Our relationship with him...

    How old is our creation really?

    I believe that God does not reveal everything that is or was but that he does reveal what we need to know in order to have a relationship with Him. As for the age of creation I truly do not know. I know that Cain, when confronted by God for the killing of Cain's brother said,"...I will be a...

    Do you ever wonder where God guides you?

    I think you are a pretty cool person Sarah. It is hard to resist someone else's requests. We feel awkward and it is uncomfortable. It is hard but I've learned to say that I'm not feeling the same way but I'll pray about it. If nothing changes, I go back to them and let them know that I'm not...
