    The whole issue with having only 5 minutes to edit our posts is ridiculous

    . I have done that when I have a very long post to make. But, respectfully, why not fix the problem instead of asking users to live with a work around? .

    Complaints: I hate it when ...

    I hate it when I am working on my car and something that should only take a few seconds takes hours, days, or even months. (I recently had to remove a bolt from my transmission. It took me two months to not remove it. It finally came out when some strong young buck put more torque on it than I...

    Complaints: I hate it when ...

    I hate it when I am working underneath my car and the nasty gul durn flies keep painfully biting my legs.

    The whole issue with having only 5 minutes to edit our posts is ridiculous

    I second the need for more time. I concede that at sometime in the past someone abused the ability to edit their posts, but that doesn't mean that most people will. Just today I made a post and hit "post" when I really wanted to "review". It is an easy mistake to make. At least 15 minutes is...

    I want the spirit's quickening

    . If you have been saved through the death burial and resurrection of Christ Jesus, God's one and only Son, your spirit is already "quickened". The next step is to draw closer to Him day by day through prayer, Bible study, godly fellowship, and perhaps even occasional fasting. The Spirit is...

    Half my life.......... wasted?

    I feel I have wasted the better part of my life too. I "could" have done so much but have so little to show for it. Looking back I am confident that the reason I have accomplished so little is because I invested so little into my relationship with Jesus. Had I, thirty years ago, for instance...

    Jesus like image on the clinic wall in minahasa for 30 minute

    It wasn't a picture of Jesus, it was a picture of Ogg who lived 50 thousand years ago. It also looked like Epinailius who was a farmer in Greece in 300 BC. It also looked like John Smathers who was a tinker in England in the early 1400's. The picture also had a striking resemblance to Rene'...

    Is it a sin to live your whole life alone? (socially isolated)

    I also want to add that for the last 2000 years the man who was born blind has been worshiping God because God counted Him worthy to be born blind. By becoming who God wants you to be, you will have all eternity to worship God for giving you such challenging circumstances and helping you grow...

    Is it a sin to live your whole life alone? (socially isolated)

    . I don't think it is a sin to be like you are, but it might be a sin to stay like you are. Each of us is known by God before we are born. He decides what challenges we are to face in this life. God has given you a great deal of challenges because He knows you are worthy to handle them. He...

    A conversation about nothing in particular

    . Perhaps you might try focusing on Jesus all day today by filling your heart with "Psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs", and then asking Him each moment how He would have you spend that moment in His grace and for His glory. My best example of what grace means in the way we relate to others is...

    A conversation about nothing in particular

    . That sounds like an interesting way for people to get their prayers answered. Write them on a piece of paper, put the paper in a plastic bag, attach the bag to a helium filled balloon and let it go outside. Do you think God would catch it? .

    A conversation about nothing in particular

    . I understand letting the dog sleep in bed with you, but are those birds HOUSE TRAINED? I doubt it. I wonder what his blanket looks like in the morning. On second thought, maybe I don't want to know. .

    A conversation about nothing in particular

    . He is our "daddy" who loves us more than we can imagine and just wants us to love Him back through the death, burial, and resurrection of His Son, Jesus. After His resurrection, Jesus called us "brothers". We are to look upon God the way Jesus did, as our loving heavenly Father. .
