ehlsie27 @ehlsie27 (49) • Philippines 4 Apr 12

I am a Roman Catholic. I pray but not like the others who pray the rosary, novenas etc. There was a time when I was very low, I asked for His guidance, then my prayers were answered. However, there are also times like there was no...

Hart57 I do believe in the power of prayer. The Bible is God speaking to us, and prayer is our opportunity to speak back to Almighty God. I believe that the Lord takes great delight in us coming to Him with our prayers and supplications. In fact the Word of God tells...

lordwarwizard @lordwarwizard (35747) • Singapore 28 May 08

I think we have quite a lot of coffee lovers around. I, for one, love coffee. When I was still in school, I drank coffee both because I loved it and because I hoped it can help me keep awake (it did... for the first 5 min of...

Hart57 I normally prefer tea, but, interestingly enough, have been drinking coffee lately. Coffee must have a lot more caffeine than tea, because boy does it ever get me wired. In fact, that's the reason I've been favoring it lately -- I've needed the extra boost....

Do you see a penny and pick it up?

whywiki @whywiki (6066) • Canada 28 Feb 08

I used to pick up every penny I saw as it is good luck to pick it up. At least that is what my mom used to tell me. These days I rarely bend over to pick up a penny, I guess I am just too lazy. I'll stoop for a nickel. I know a...

Onions or potatoes, what is a must have in your grocery list ?

serenidity @serenidity (641) • India 18 Dec 07
