Today I read my messages as usual. I saw an email from Norton. This email said that I have to pay $765 for my renewal charge. This was scary because I don't use any antivirus. And $765 is a huge amount of money. I don't earn this...

sulynsi @dya80dya One of the common scams is for 'Norton' - scammers use 'Microsoft Windows' as well to trick people into thinking they are legitimate. A hallmark of scams is that the scammers tend to try to bully you, scare you, hurry you up, ask you to share your...

I have a long time friend, she used to live close by me but now she is several hours away. I've known her for years. She had a bad first marriage, finally divorced him, and found a brand new husband in nothing flat. She seemed...

sulynsi @MarieCoyle '''To have a friend, you have to be one.''' This makes me think of a person I've known for years, someone who I tried to support through her depression. During COVID, we moved away and when I reached out to keep in touch, I was rebuffed, as if I...

Name one or two of your biggest fears and just one thing you love to fantasize about. Unless of course you are a completely fearless person and you do not fantasize ever. Two things that l would really hate is 1 - being trapped...

sulynsi 'Living in a peaceful world where we all get along'.... That's not a fantasy to me, that's my hope - based on a promise from the One who cannot lie. 'No more will there be heard in her the sound of weeping or a cry of distress..' 'They will not build for...

Jesus told us to do that. Do we? Someone asked Him, "Who is my neighbor?" and Jesus told him the parable of the good Samaritan. I've been thinking a lot about this. I try to be a good neighbor ...and friend, parent, wife,...

sulynsi @1creekgirl I am always so amazed at how Jesus taught - his technique was brilliant - but it recalls to mind the following passage: 'And the Jews were astonished, saying: “How does this man have such a knowledge of the Scriptures when he has not studied at...

I went to church today and the preacher was like; For God to bless you you must work for the blessing. He continued saying Jacob and his mother prepared a nice meal for Isaac to bless Jacob. Though the blessing was for Esau but...

sulynsi @Maxveg Those that teach in the congregation are described as ‘shepherds’ of the flock - not rapacious wolves, fleecing the sheep for personal gain. The Bible actually provides the qualifications of one’s that would take on the role of an elder or overseer...

sulynsi @Maxveg When it comes to the Bible, it is important that we continue to learn. Jesus said: 'This means everlasting life, their coming to know you, the only true God, and the one whom you sent, Jesus Christ.' Paul wrote about why the Bible was produced:...

In my opinion, human beings require desire in their life. Should we give up if we can't get them? Personally, I believe it is acceptable to give up if we believe they are unachievable. Nevertheless, since it is free to do so, it...

sulynsi The funny thing about our best traits, is that they can also be our worst! What makes something that is good and a gift, turn into something ugly? It is certainly not wrong to desire, let's say, a home. But if that desire crosses the line into wanting...

sulynsi @Shavkat It is helpful to have a guide that all people can use to determine what is 'right' and what is 'wrong'. Our Creator provided a guide book so that we can have real freedom - freedom to pursue the proper desires and joy we all want in life, but...

sulynsi @vandana7 The vision of human creation living harmoniously is the vision of the Creator. It was his original purpose, and has never changed. His purpose is expressed in his word, and as it says in Psalms 119:160, 'The very essence of your word is truth, And...

sulynsi @MommyOfEli2013 I guess it's different where you live. In Canada, the child tax benefit, the GST rebate and the working income tax benefit, aren't available until someone files. Even if a person has no income, they need to file a return.
