    AS CHRISTIANS, ARE WE ALLOWED TO WEAR A CROSS?

    Why wear one? Why not wear one? Are we broadcasting our identity? Or Are we broadcasting a hoped for identity? Fashion statement? Just for reference....a cross is not pleasant. It's a "death by torture" device. Not exactly humanity's finest hour. But you can't easily make an empty grave...

    How Much "Life Proof" Does Someone Need to Qualify as a Teacher? (When Is Someone Experienced Enough to Lead Others?)

    Only a FEW people are noted in scripture with having skills directly attributed by God's direct teaching and providence. The guy who built the Ark of the Covenant and his apprentice. (I'm forgetting their names but I remember their story) The 12 Apostles. Notwithstanding those who wrote...

    Ummmm You are not really teaching....that's the part that nobody really wants to hear but you might find relief in that as you explain basics of sewing. You are there to help foster interest and self learning. Inspiring the students to explore sewing and creating things with cloth, leather...

    Are there verses that leave you feeling confused?

    OK... Great question. You are RIGHT because we should ALWAYS ask a lot of questions when reading scripture. This section in Psalms is poetry...not a narrative, history, prophecy or parable. IOW a slice of a song. So....to really understand this take a look at other narratives in...

    Should artificial intelligence be allowed to evolve

    In what way is AI not a tool that is neither good or bad like a gun? AI has a difficult time interpreting scripture due to its metaphoric, symbolic and literary device nature....just like it's programmers do. It doesn't "know" anything....good or bad. It's indifferent because it's just ones...

    Should artificial intelligence be allowed to evolve

    AI is not scary....it's just a tool. What's scary is the power people give it. Guns are not scary. But a thug with a gun is scary. A gun in the hands of law enforcement arresting the thug is not scary in the least. Same thing. AI is not creative. It takes known things and puts them...

    Independent Women

    But when that fear is overwhelming any desire to "take a chance on her" then they go hunt up the guys and look to play games online....beer, popcorn and Netflix night with the guys....that sort of thing. No talking to single women....ever....about anything at anytime. (Including the weather)...
