Typically, I spend Black Friday chilling out at home, cleaning and tidying things up from the day before. I have never gone shopping at 2 am. It nice to have a nice relaxing weekend when everything is done and I have nothing...

stephwrites yes, it's a stress reliever but not enough to get trampled over! that would just negate any highes I got from the shopping experience!

My partner and I have just each read a Carol O'Connell book in which a priest, not only having taken the confession of a serial killer but having an ongoing, if unwilling, correspondence with him, refuses to break the seal of the...

I have had thoughts of suicide before and it was not a good thing. I would have a really bad day and just think about how much happier I would be in heaven. I sometime would think about my life and how bad it was. I relize my life...

stephwrites darth, you may not believe in God but some of us do and we are not stupid just because we do not agree with you. You can live with your thoughts and I can live with mine and we can still get along! Just like some people are prejudice against someone with...

Are you rather a reserved person in day to day life? Do you have a few topics that truly excite you? Do you get back to being calm very quickly?

stephwrites I didn't answer the other questions... I don't get mad often either. Most things roll off my back. I don't do anything to stand up for myself unless it is really important or a lie. I've found out that people are hurtful and there's not much I can do to...

Hi friends, I remember one of my schoolteacher always use to tell us to plan our time. He gave all of us a 5-year program to work with. I was in 8th or 9th grade that time and I still maintain that 5-year program with me....

stephwrites You are right tutul! Raising kids did take some planning, except that it's not done too far in advance, it is usually day to day!! thanks for the ego boost.

I am married with three sons. I am the eldest of five siblings and my wife is the youngest of five siblings (there is a discussion waiting to happen on just that fact alone- for a future date). So I'd say I'm part of quite a big...

stephwrites That's hilarious Mark! considering I am only five feet tall and am always telling my kids that it doesn't matter what size they are. It only matters what they do with it that is important. They certainly don't have the genes to be basketball players!!

Science has been proving a lot of things when it comes to tangible things. But what about the existence of a God? Why are the intelligent scientist and even the regular men who are good at what they do, doesn't seem to recognize a...

stephwrites Being uneducated about those changes you are talking about, I can't argue a case against it. But I will continue to believe in God because of what He has done in my life and the freedom I feel when He has forgiven my sins.

I have heard that you get some US shows there but they play several weeks after we see them. Do you like to watch these shows? Are they similar to what Aussie/New Zealand shows? What do you like to watch and how are your shows...

stephwrites thanks for answering elenyae. I was beginning to think no one would. I wonder why they do that. I'm sure australians can come up with their own shows. and do you watch as much tv as we do? they say that the average american watches six to eight hours a day.

stephwrites What makes the bible holy is that all of the books in the bible are written about the same God, who has the same attributes and love and forgiveness for us. Theologians claim that it is 'God breathed' and God authored it through humans. As a writer myself, I...

stephwrites Lash, those changes you are talking about were human. The people who followed that religion changed the rules. But I was talking about God's rules and laws in the Bibles. Rules God applies to our lives if we follow Him. Humans will always be imperfect and not...

stephwrites Lash, I'm not sure what you mean about 'rules changing every hundred years to reflect the current political needs of the organization.' The laws of God in the bible changed once, after Jesus CHrist was born. that's because He fulfilled the Old Testament laws...

stephwrites I wholeheartedly agree lady! there are very few good reasons to reject your child, or any person for that matter for making a mistake. There's lots of stuff in life that isn't good but you deal with it and move on. thanks for your input.

stephwrites We are not supposed to judge. but I personally would look down on the parents more for disowning their child in their time of need than I would at the child for their mistake. thanks for your input.

stephwrites hatley, you have certainly put a new perspective on the situation. We see news about accidents and homicides every day on the tv and take our lives and family for granted when it could all be gone in a heartbeat. I could not say that I know how you feel. but...
