When?
(Preview)
How soon is too soon to say, "I love you?" 1 week? 3 weeks? 3 months? 2 years? 2 hours?
When can you say it, and MEAN that you want to spend your life with this person? When do you committ? I just don't know if this is the right person--but, how do I tell? There are many, many things I want to get done in my lif...

For example, I was at work the other day and I was outside and the sun was HOT  . I had not prayed that day and I was waiting for lunch time. Then some clouds came by and covered the sun and I thought to myself, thank you God. And then I r...

Gnawing at me
(Preview)
So, here I am again, not having a clue what God is, or where He?? is, or what He?? is doing with the world.
I keep having thoughts that are so far beyond the realm of possibility because my Christian upbringing is making me immediately counteract my thoughts with self-loathing, or comments like, "T...

666
(Preview)
Why does 666 scare us so much? If you read the passage in revelation, it just says that's the "number of the beast" and if you're discerning you can understand that it's the name of a person.
But nowadays we treat 666 with ridiculous superstition. What power does that number actually wield- if any?...

Does Phelps have a right to be WRONG?
(Preview)
I just voted in a poll (and came out to the whole dang COUNTRY, by the way!) at www.advocate.com about this issue.
A part of me wants to say "NO!" to this guy. I want to slap him and say that he doesn't even have a right to BREATHE, much less protest a funeral of a fallen soldier and say that awful hate...

I'm just sharing some interesting information, that's all. I'm not saying it's true or false; I leave that to you to decide. I just enjoy reading, researching and debating every aspect of the bible and things outside the bible. Even though I believe the bible is a source or truth,...

Latent Bisexuality
(Preview)
If this is controversial, move it in there. I'm not too sure where this one falls.
Anyway, what's wrong with me? lol. It's taken me 22.9 years to start being attracted to women??
The more I'm thinking about it--the more I want to date, and become romantically involved.

How old is the earth?
(Preview)
The following timeline by Theodore Pederson appeared in The Christian News, March 26, 2001, page 18.
How old is the earth? If we go back 500 years, we come to the time of Martin Luther (born in 1483), and Columbus, who “sailed the ocean blue in 1492.”
If we go back 1000 years, we come to the time of...

I believe I lost it. I believe I yelled. It was in an empty room, so no animals were harmed in the making of that yell, but still. I felt frustrated. And you know what's really good when you're feeling frustrated? Rememberi...

Organized Religion
(Preview)
The reason why I don't go to church, is because I don't believe in organized religion...in any way, shape or form. In fact, I'm strongly against it. I believe it is a way Satan is using Christianity to break up the Body of Christ.
"Why," you ask? Episcopalians are going to Heaven if they do this...an...

Okay as a parent, this has bothered me for some time and I was just watching an episode of COPS (which I am not in the habit of) and the episode was subtitled "Bad Girls".

I just can't help but think that the gay community has such a long way to go. It is hard for me to believe that good,...
