Hi Friends, Yes, I've reached another milestone. It's birthday number 68. Nothing special planned, but cards, gifts and telephone calls from family and friends. Life is good. Blessings.

MikeMe Happy Birthday! Hope it is filled with love and good blessings (as opposed to BAD blessings, right? :)

Maybe people I know say they want to live fast, do crazy things, get it all in and die young before they have a chance to get old. Others say they want to live as long as possible and are not taking any chances by acting...

MikeMe How about live like I believe is right and die whenever it's my time? I really believe none of us gets to choose when we die, even when we commit suicide. That's deeper than I want to get here, though. Yeah, sometimes I get bored and sometimes I do stupid...

I just read that Britney lost custody of the kids as of October 3. They will go to Kevin Federline until further notice. Here is the TMZ.com story:"TMZ has learned Britney Spears has lost physical custody of her kids. L.A....

MikeMe What I think is a real shame is that we even know about it. What happened to reporters gathering real news??? How dare we think we have the right to intrude on this private thing just because they are celebrities. Like you, I feel bad for the kids more than...

I don't really mean to point fingers, I am also guilty by such. I have come to notice that people who start 'serious' toned discussions tend to be defensive and would be angered when a person opposes their ideas. Discussions...

MikeMe You make an excellent point. Even if your are positive you are right, you have to respect other's viewpoints and treat them respectfully. Some people feel really threatened when they are disagreed with and I think its an issue of low self-esteem. They think...

MikeMe Given that you've been together 23 years, it's safe to assume he has this info and knows better. THAT makes it even more important he apologize and NOT say "it's no big deal". It may not be a big deal to him if you call him and idiot, but its a big deal for...

MikeMe I think we've ALL said things we wished we could take back. Anybody who says they haven't should either just sprout their wings and start flapping right on up to heaven, or, as is probably the case, carve off those horns they just grew and throw them in the...

One of the comments make in a recent discussion, was "just because you don't believe in hell, doesn't mean there is no hell." That's a very valid point, and one that can be used in many ways. A blind man may not believe in light,...

MikeMe I see your point, but I think we need to take it a step farther. One of the greatest enemies of our souls today is this concept of "relative truth". Just because it's true to me, doesn't make it true. Many people believe many things, often in the face of much...

MikeMe I've been known to have the same problem as you! Hard for me to day no. Seems too much like being mean. I've learned, maybe a little over the years to say no sometimes. It's still hard but I had to just for my own sanity. I just had to remember the world will...

Okay, now it's time for my Christian friends to help me out a bit here. I've heard this phrase a LOT, used online, used in sermons, used by Christians in their everyday lives, etc. Why exactly would you follow a God that you...

MikeMe Think of a good father or boss. You might love them and respect them, but, if they were good at what they were doing, you had to be just a tiny bit afraid of them, too, especially when you did something they forbade you to, right? I fear my God only in the...

Why do we hold God, if He exists, responsible for suffering? Why do we assume that a just God would keep things like 9/11 from happening? Are we right to expect Him to protect us from evil, to NOT allow suffering? What have we...

MikeMe That's true, what you say. The great thing about God is, He comforts us in our troubles, even though we ignore Him during the good times. How many humans can we say that about?

MikeMe Actually, after the Flood, God simply said he would never destroy the earth by flood again. He continued to intervene when He chose and still does. We want freewill, but when things go badly, we blame God. How narcissistic is that? Thanks for responding.

MikeMe I am a life-long Braves fan, but I think they have no chance at the World Series. That have one of the best lineups in the game, but their pitching is VERY thin. Once you get past Smoltz and Hudson they have nobody who can be relied on to keep them in the...

What did the apostle Paul have against women? His attitude towards females is quite different from that of Jesus, in fact from the other apostles as well. Why do you think this is so?

MikeMe Paul merely reflected the view of the day. Women were considered secondary to men in those times. In fact, women in this country couldn't even vote until over 100 years after the Declaration of Independence! The trouble with the view Paul was tougher on...
