I like how the article addresses both the doubters and believers in their lives. I especially liked thinking of doubt as the gap between our current faith and faith that is not yet perfected. I don’t judge or blame them, but sometimes I don’t understand how a person can go from a seeming extreme...

I agree with Princesse. I don’t plan everything out and generally go with the flow. I may over-think things beforehand, but in the end decisions are sometimes made in the moment and it’s like Shel Silverstein’s poem. All the “coulda woulda shouldas” are scared away by one little “did.” Some...

I can see the merit of both opinions and respect them. For myself, I think I’d have to say it depends. Before I get to kissing, let’s talk about friendship. With some you just instantly click and can talk to them for hours about anything and laugh about nothing. With others it’s harder to keep...

I am good with either possibility. I would enjoy the companionship of a compatible husband, but I don’t need one to be happy. I’m content with the life I have and look forward to the rest. I want to keep learning, growing, and serving Him and perhaps for me that may be through a single life. One...

I don’t know if this is considered “bad,” but I used to love Gold Diggers: The Secret of Bear Mountain. It might be relatively unknown and only has 6 stars on imdb, but it definitely got re-watched quite a few times. It stars Christina Ricci who played Wendy in Casper and Wednesday in the Adams...

I used to love Matilda. Some of my favorites now include: A Walk to Remember The Princess Bride Ferris Beuller’s Day Off Better Off Dead Footloose (1984 version only) I Am Sam Old Yeller The Wedding Singer For a young child though, try animated: Lion King (1994 version) The Little Mermaid...

Yes. I always used to change the channel when Little House on the Prairie was on. The Andy Griffith show didn’t interest me when I was younger either. I also used to change the channel for Who’s the Boss, but I “discovered” that one recently and I’m looking forward to watching. Goosebumps was my...

Some shows do bring on nostalgia. I do collect some shows so I can re-watch whenever and watch some with my dad or brother. Don’t really watch the new shows anymore (a few eps of maybe 2 series most recently, one of which ended already, that I can think of and that was last year so nothing...

I know it’s not what people intend, but I do believe it is taking the Lord’s name in vain. People don’t do that with other people’s names (usually). You don’t hear, “Oh my Tommy!” and then apologize to Tommy when he comes over after hearing his name. If God put it in the Bible, it’s definitely...

Only you know your friend and whether it would be taken in a joking way or she’d get offended. I’d try the more open but direct approach and maybe ask something like, “Hey, I noticed that _ and I was wondering why _?” Something to help her share if there’s an issue. My mom gets nervous when...

I agree with Mel85 that honesty and communication are key and laughingheart’s answer was spot-on! People do like to avoid confrontation, conflict, anything potentially uncomfortable… I prefer honesty as well, but others prefer to avoid things. When I started middle school I had just moved...

Yeah, some of the movies are also misleading if you don't read your Bible. I heard about the Noah movie being pretty unbiblical, so I wasn't interested. Others may be alright, but in general I'd rather read the parts in the Bible first so I can notice if there's any discrepancies. Some may be...

Yes, many are just for profit and some promote things contrary to Scripture (even within so-called "Christian" books). So like the Bible says, test them and keep what's good. I love to read, but I'm more selective now.

Butterflyyy, I’ve seen a few clips with Nick Vujicic and he definitely has an inspirational story! I love that his joy comes from knowing Christ and that even though he suffered a lot growing up, God had a future full of hope in store for him. I want to read his books Life Without Limits and Be...

Thanks oldethennew! :)

Thanks shittim and IFOLLOWHIM! :) Yeah, I'm sure there's folks like that most anywhere. It can be a little draining sometimes, but I try not to take things personally. Blessings to you too!

Two that I’ve finished are: - If I Plug My Ears, God Can't Tell Me What to Do by Jessie Clemence - No Compromise: The Life Story of Keith Green by Melody Green and David Hazard Two that I have yet to finish but are good: - The Cross & the Switchblade by David Wilkerson - God Space: Where...

PS Not everyone is called to marriage, as Paul even said, but many people have shared their struggles and “love stories” and we can rejoice with them. Here’s a link to a video where a young lady shares some of the letters she wrote to her future husband with her now husband. She was...

“In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world” (John 16:33). We must take up our cross and follow, rejoice in our suffering, and remember “for the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of...
