    Is This a Red Flag??

    I'm curious of your opinions on this: in one of my relationships the guy I was getting to know told me he had all the pics of his former girlfriends in his phone gallery still. When I mentioned this to my sister she said "That's a red flag!" I wasn't sure what to think. I didn't really like...

    Would You Go on a Blind Date?

    How many of you singles would be willing to meet someone on a blind date? I've never done it but I have a couple friends that tried it and it sounds really cool actually. I know it's not everyone's style though!

    Etymology!

    Who loves etymology like I do? I'm fascinated by words and their meanings and origins. The English language is such an eclectic mix of borrowed words from other language it makes such an interesting study! Etymology is different from definitions in that it's the study of the roots and history of...

    Kitchen Staples You Don't Wanna be Without!

    Other than the ordinary flour, sugar, milk, eggs, salt type of staples, what is one that would really bug you to run out of? Like a certain spice or seasoning or condiment? What inspired this thread is the annoying fact that we're out of black pepper currently. It's one of my very favorite...

    Curry!

    Share your favorite curry recipes/methods! I like to stir fry veggies like broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, onions, peppers, maybe zucchini and cabbage. Fresh garlic is good too. Then when they're cooked, add coconut milk, broth, curry sauce, and coconut oil. For spices use salt, pepper, curry...

    Nonresistance

    What are your thoughts on Matthew 5:38-45: 38 Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: 39 But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. 40 And if any man will sue thee at the...

    Courtship...Broken Courtship

    At the suggestion of a couple members, I decided to share my experience in this area. It's no instruction manual because, (as you can see from the title) it didn't end in marriage, but in tears and heartbreak. I hope someone can learn from the mistakes I made and save themselves some pain! I'm...

    The Evil in Hollywood

    If y'all have the time, I'd highly encourage you to watch or listen to these videos. They're each around an hour long, but interesting, informative, and VERY troubling. They are produced by Seventh-Day-Adventists, so be cautious with the doctrines that are taught/alluded to. But the information...

    Discerning the will of God

    Does anyone have advice on how to discern the will of God? How much should we go by feelings? Should a lack of peace about doing something be enough to stop us from doing it, even if there's nothing clear in the Bible against it? I have struggled with knowing if I should, for example, take a...

    Garden Gratitude

    Warming rays of springtime sun Light upon the arms of one Gripping in her hands, a hoe, Making straight the garden row. Falling from her hand, a seed; Green that's waiting to be freed. Dreams of what shall come at last In her scenes of fancy pass. Ere departing from the plot, Head she...

    Books, Movies, Music; where to draw the line

    "Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God." 1 Cor. 10:31 With this verse in mind, where should we draw the line when it comes to what we read, watch, and listen to? For years my family was very conservative, and from the age of about 9 until I was...
