Welcome AuthenticA. I got here just a short while ago, so we're both new. I thought the same thing. Thankfully this thread is still short. There are some good posters, and some hilarious answers too, in the 4 pages. I hope you enjoy and are benefitted by them.

That reminded me of my witty mother. When one of us kids would compliment her, she'd say, Awh, honey, that's worth a quarter. (Sometimes we even got the quarter, usually not.) Dad - he was a different sort. When we'd ask for a nickle (back when that would get us a candy bar), he's say, No...

That's a great question but it would be a topic for another post. The OP was asking about the study of end time prophesy.

Studying the End Times is fascinating for sure. It's not a waste of time, and every word that proceeds from the Eternal God provides life to us. Gathering the thoughts of fellow believers about what they study is useful, because sometimes it gives an enlightening perspective, and sometimes it...

Adding to this thought, the type of relationship that leads to marriage, and marriage itself, should be an area where no topic is restricted, but I would expect some disclosures to wait for the deeper friendship. Knowing oneself is essential to being able to know someone else. Controlling my...

I haven't read all the replies, coming much later into this conversation. I recognized that song as a parody of "Food, Glorious Food" from the play "Oliver." Did anyone post this yet?

I found myself curious about the apocryphal literature and wondered if anyone else has read or is reading it, and whether anyone would want to post comments. My interest was peaked a few months ago after picking up a really old book at a local booksale purportedly written by Josephus about "the...

When I started this thread, I was thinking of my own life, true; but I'm also thinking about the younger people, wondering if they might be facing the same questions. People have added some good thoughts in these first 2 pages. I had supposed, like in most other things, that while each...

I could put my camping stove on the table and we could probably whip up a nice pot of yams and butternut squash enough for all of us. Let's leave the dead yam and banana in the compost pile (been there, done that, and it smelled a long time), but let's put the banana bread out for all of us...

Good post, seoulsearch. Lots to think about. Not a deep answer here, but two things come to mind: 1. It was when I realized that what God tells us and what examples we see in Scriptures (old and new) really help life make sense. And since we can live by every word of God, I guess that...

@seoulsearch - I hope you are feeling much better now. It is concerning watching people having health problems who don't have someone to help them. I'll toss my hat in the bucket that wants an easy exit when I'm no earthly good, but until then, I'm going to continue to do the good things that...

Somehow, my dear Edward, the concepts of the kingdom that marriage is a type and shadow of in heaven juxtapositioned with a man whizzing with the door open remind me of a line from Sesame Street where the puppets sang about "one of these things is not like the other." Other than that, you made...

I enjoyed your reply, Seoulsearch. I just upped the average age by 10 years, lol!

I had to look this one up. My first thought was Amerian Sign Language, but that didn't fit the context. Thanks for teaching me a new acronym.

Thanks for bringing up the question of hobbies. In my younger years I enjoyed sewing. I made my wedding dress and the matron-of-honor's dress, made my mother's wedding dress when she remarried, made both she and I coats. Back then we all had relatively simple tastes and I had a lot more time...

Maybe someone else answered, but Grandma wanted the light for its benefits, but she didn't want to share her vulnerabilty. Once it gets dark, people can see in without her being able to see them outside and protect herself. So it was for good reason. Thanks for supporting her.

What does dating mean? What does it accomplish? What ways could dating be improved to be more effective? I'm an old lady re-entering a field of singleness and (lol) man-hunting (using that term after recent posts that I found hilarious). I had to face the fact that I'm clueless about dating...

This thread has been hilarious to read. When I decided I didn't prefer to live alone the few remaining years, I had the funny moment when I realized this OLD LADY was on a MAN HUNT. But, after laughing about it, and deciding to face the intimidation, I decided to live in reality, to be...

Well, the kids and I appreciated a beard, because hubby/dad was stubby and we didn't like getting scratched. Once the kids brought home a kitten someone needed to find a home for. Hubby said he didn't want one, but when the kitten snuggled into his beard, he was sold and it became his favorite...
