dorannmwin @dorannmwin (36392) • United States 3 May 10

This year really has been something with the weather that we've experienced. Where I live we had one of the longest stretches of days without hitting 70 degrees that has ever happened in our state. Then, the opening quarter of...

shortstop Our weather has been the weirdest yet. Way too cold for here. I am not complaining. I enjoy the cooler weather. One wonders, though, what in the world is up with global "warming?!!??!"

"You don't have to go to church to be a Christian"

dnavarro89 @dnavarro89 (15) • United States 1 May 10

I stopped going to church for awhile, and just recently started going back. I meet a lot of people who say " You don't have to go to church to be a Christian." TO me it is a loaded statement, that provokes a lot of thought for me....

shortstop You can go to church all the time and still not be a "Christian." The "church" is supposed to be a place of sanctuary. It's the place to be to meet with others of like faith and be helped and uplifted, and, of course, to worship God. If that is where you are...

shortstop Oh, that's wonderful!! I hope the crayfish is enjoyed for a good long while! It's great for children to learn about taking care of things and one never knows where an interest like that can go. Our children have had all kinds of things as pets. And they cried...

shortstop I believe that if you are serving God that He is willing and able to help you with whatever area of life you need help in. Did Jesus not say that God sees even the little sparrow fall? It is not wrong to ask God for help and guidance. Do not feel bad about...

Why people are not contented of what they already have?

yuansplace @yuansplace (543) • Switzerland 30 Apr 10

I always notice that when a person get something what he wants, then he will ask for more and more and more. Why people aren`t contented on the things that they have? I have a simple life, yet, I enjoy it and I do not ask for...

shortstop Perhaps you had very wise parents who taught you to be content early in life with what you have. I think some people never outgrow that "give me, give me" thing they developed in childhood. Parents want their children to have more than they had, so they buy...

Have You Wondered Why No Matter How Good You Are, Bad Things Still Happen?

Opal26 @Opal26 (17679) • United States 25 Apr 10

I know that this might sound self-centered and a bit on the ridiculous side, but it's a question a need to ask! I try to be the best me that I can be! I know we have no control of our destiny and things happen that we just have...

shortstop Very frustrating, to be sure! There are times I don't want to even go to a store because of rude people. It makes the experience so unpleasant! Thought we learned to take turns in kindergarten, but I suppose some of us have forgotten. I try to just ignore and...

shortstop I soooo agree with you. It is extrememly annoying to be around "look at me, look at me" kind of people. Manners don't seem to matter as much any more. I don't advocate that "children should be seen and not heard," but I do believe they need to be taught the...

shortstop It's okay to do whatever is right for you! There is nothing in "the rule book" that says you must have children. Some people are not cut out to have children. Children take a lot of time, money and energy. Some people have animals. Some people have careers....
