You know, I'm not a stranger to long term battles...it's been going on for me for most all of my life and I'll consider sharing a little bit if you think it'd help you feel less alone. I can say that I wouldn't recommend sleeping pills (as I presume that is what you meant by "sleeping tables"...

First time I've ever heard the term...certainly some wisdom in being cautious about the concept but if you let God "unfold" everything for you I don't think that's his will either. There's a middle road that is going to be different for each person. I'll get a bit more in depth tomorrow...

I guess a better question is if they were $10 per 12ct would you want to have your own coop? Consumer information on what types of eggs are healthier is what's getting me personally. Does it really matter enough to spend more than double for lower cholesterol? I found an article that had...

I can see not wanting to serve alcohol...I have other burdens when it comes to hotels which would prevent me from doing that at present. Retreat centers though are another matter. Certainly worth looking into. I've seen at least one retreat center on a beach (not as nice as a resort but it's...

He was on my mind a few times over the past month or so...perhaps it's a prayer need.

I sent you a PM about this. @Stephen777 I understand the situation but to me that approach isn't even a valid last resort. There are options like bride purchase (not per se but the concept exists) and a few other things that if he presumably has the money it is worth pursuing at least mentally.

What do you mean by pentecostal? Are you in the U.S? @Elizabeth1505

Yes I do believe I'm very nearly at the point of "needing" a vacation without any reservations I just don't want to camp in the winter and hotels seem overpriced alone...but I could also go for a good retreat so perhaps I'll look into that seriously. I'll try to respond a bit more to your...

It is a pet peeve of mine to have constant repetition and yet most people don't seem to be exceptionally bothered by it. It may just come down to personal preference. I was remarking today that at least the purpose is praise and worship vs the repetition that's in secular pop music. It's coming...

Eph 5:12 is about all I felt led to offer on this thread so thanks. Posting pictures of stuff like this is like posting sensual content to me. It may not be genuinely "explicit" but it's obviously meant to evoke a reaction. I'm not sure that's the proper approach but I'm on the fence at times...

I can see his point though and I don't disagree about stuff like that but it's the approach that matters. I'm not completely convinced that humanism is evil entirely though. Perhaps we might mean different things but did God specifically say it was "evil" for humans to build the tower of Babel...

Interesting thread. Reminds me of https://christianchat.com/christian-family-forum/remenissing-about-days-of-yore.207236/#post-4912572 I unfortunately can't think of anything except I JUST used a "dustbuster" that I just had to charge for the first time in well over a month and I am not at all...

Oh ok. Good to know we are on the same page as far as continued revelation goes. I fully agree that it will NOT contradict what is written. Can you give a few examples of improper interpretation? Do you mean "I C Jesus" (eisegesis)...or what? Everyone has been exposed to many different...

What do you make of Revelation 10:7 ? Do you think that's in the past? Pastors are still a thing and should be...so is preaching and teaching. I'm wondering who you mean as "elite" though...I'm willing to engage and give some of my thoughts but it's difficult to see through everything...

That's a conversion story. That's only known as a testimony in certain circles. That's ONE event/process in a believer's life. Keeping a steady pace and staying in the church. Steadfastness to the Lord. Trials within your life...missed opportunities...things you decided you could not do because...

Well I don't think he meant it "thaaat" way ..but yeah some clarification would be helpful. I have a clear "moment" where I accepted Jesus as my Lord and savior but it was also one of my earliest memories. It's not really a story that I'd tell to a youth group as some dynamic groundbreaking...

Can't really do what?

Well...I'll admit I'm curious to jump in on this back and forth but I have mixed opinions about both viewpoints. Maybe you both are just seeing things from a different perspective? Using Judas as a linchpin for losing one's salvation seems like a terrible starting place to me and I don't see why...

Somehow I missed seeing this but it's a nice graphic :)

It worked out alright 5 or so hours after posting this when the treatment was updated. Thanks everyone. I'll update if there's anything else. I'm sure they are still pretty stressed out though. Yeah the baby ended up being right at "early full term" I presume because he wasn't considered...
