woman

1megiam I think so too. I also think there are many reasons as one writer put it we are hardwired differently, also we more readily accept the fact that forviness brings a peacful solution and we want that kind of inner peace. Then we do not have to fight the macho...

1megiam If you love to write then write. A writer is someone who writes. Most want to be published many never are, probably because they do not pursue publishing hard enough but with today's opportunities, here, blogs, twitter. Write away and enjoy what you love....

What is your prayer for today?

chiyochan @chiyosan (30184) • Philippines 2 Sep 10

I have been thinking about this, actually. When we talk to God on a day to day basis... most of us do pray not on a long term basis... like we pray for today's need... today's wishes... So for you... What is your prayer for today?...

4 responses

1megiam In light of the fact a very well maybe out of work soon, income is already dropping a portion of my prayers this day was, "Lord please help me to budget my money wisely this month." Of course I prayed for family, church, and friends for the day.

Just an Ordinary Owl? @owlwings (43910) • Cambridge, England 29 Aug 10

Most of us are embarrassed to sing in public but how many of us sang lullabies to our kids? My mother used to sing to me but it was really the songs my dad sang to me (and he was no singer) which I remember. I passed those on...

1megiam Oh yes. I only sang to them, I was not gifted with a nice singing voice, but my little ones always enjoyed my singing to them. I would sing popular llullabies like Rock a Bye Baby (American tune). But I would also make up songs, with silly rhyming words, and...

Who's the disciplinarian?

ktmatunog @ktmatunog (912) • Philippines 30 Aug 10

When it comes with your kid, who is the disciplinarian? I think my husband is. He's strong and bold in his words. Yet I can also think that I can cut him down when he gets tough! Should the father be the disciplinarian for...

1megiam Discipline should be enforced by both parents. There should be a prior understanding as to what is appropriate before the situation arises, i.e. does lying mean losing TV time or is there a time out chair? Discipline should be age appropriate, if the parents...

1megiam I beleive this is Jesus' solution for our inablity to worry, although like everyone else there are days I find it difficult to cast those cares His way. On those days I try to remind myself of other Scriptures such as Matthew 6:34 "do not be anxious about...

1megiam You have not mentioned a topic so I am assuming that the choice is up to you. It is still a part of the Easter Season on the church calander, so I am suggesting two Scriptures that would seem to be especially appropriate during this time. John 20:24-31 or...
