rebecca1957 We shouldn't be all about ourselves, but think of others as well. It would be best to accept a reduction in pay to save several jobs rather than a slight increase for yourself.

Howdy all! I've been away from MyLot for several months. Now that the gardening season is over with, what does everyone think of our new President Elect? I've been reading some articles on whether or not he was born in Hawaii or...

I've been reading a lot lately on the accuracy of the bible and found this to be interesting: Osiris, Dionyysus, Attis, Mithras, and many others, Jesus was a god shaped like a man. Paganism was rampant during the first century....

rebecca1957 If anyone is like me, this is what I have found out. We grew up believing that we must confess Jesus to have eternal life. In the Old Testament God says He is God and He changes not (book of Micah). Also, he who seeks Me (God) if they seek me with their whole...

rebecca1957 The men are stronger than the women this year. The problem with Carly, I think, was the tatoos on her arm. As I'm not a tatoo person, I found it difficult to watch her each week because she kept wearing sleeveless clothing. She actually had a very strong...

In Deutronomy it states 'do not add to or take away from any of my words'. That's God speaking during the giving of the ten commandments together with all the other laws given to Moses. That tells me that maybe the whole New...

rebecca1957 I've been doing a lot of research into this ever since the Davinci Code came out. I read the Holy Blood, Holy Grail, then I researched Council of Nicea and the Emperor Constantine during the 3rd century. Look at the website Christianity Revealed, which as a...

rebecca1957 I thought for sure that Brooke would be voted off and my husband thought it should be Jason. Brooke has to be the one to be kicked off next week. That will leave one girl and 3 boys. I think the final will be between the 2 Davids.

rebecca1957 My husband told her over a year ago that if she was ever interested in selling to let him know. It's been a dream of his to have a restaurant. We've become pretty good friends with her and sell her our farm eggs. We have extended our garden by 200% and will...

rebecca1957 However, it was first stated in the Old Testament. The New Testament were all letters decided on by the Council of Nicea. A lot of those bishops were corrupt. A lot of scrolls were tossed, destroyed. The earliest manuscripts were not even from the 1st century,...

This year is a hard election year. All the candidates seem to excel in their own areas of expertise. I'm leaning towards John McCain. I appreciate that he fought in the Vietnam war and was a Prisoner of War.

rebecca1957 No offense taken. My mother will be voting democratic this year and she's always been a republican. I have a great deal of respect for men who have served in the different wars. Being a POW gives a person additional insight and a different perspective I think....

There are so many books in the library these days, and some of them are quite explicit. Would you allow your children to read questionable material beyond their age?

rebecca1957 Maybe there isn't any set rules for all libraries. Perhaps each library has it's own set of rules. I might ask the local library here to see what kind of rules they have in place.

Do you follow others to avoid being ridiculed or can you stand firm on your own ideas? Do you do things to please the crowd even if you know it's wrong? I've always been able to stand my own ground and not cave to peer pressure.

Is television dangerous or helpful? How much time do you spend in front of the TV? Is it addicting? Do you get a lot of ideas from watching it? I'm to the point where I really could do without the TV. Any thoughts?

rebecca1957 Those favorite shows can be addicting. Especially since the night time viewing tends to have continuous story lines now, just like the soaps in the afternoon.

rebecca1957 Your few scattered thoughts were quite detailed, thanks for sharing! I'm not liking a lot of the shows on TV. We have a Tivo unit and record the shows we would like to see. That way we skip through all the commercials. My favorite shows are recorded and my...

rebecca1957 Here's my thought, when I'm driving along a country road at a slow speed with hardly a car in sight I do not wear my seatbelt. When I'm in heavier traffic or on the freeway, it's a given, I'll be wearing the seatbelt. By making it a law that one must wear a...
