Vancollins Faith requires belief and action. Faith without works is dead. But works without belief is ritualism. We must believe and then act on those beliefs. Prayer only works when you believe.

Vancollins This is such a powerful message. Although the incident as described is false according to Snopes.com, parents overreact with their children everyday. And too often a child is seriously injured or dies at the hand of a loved one. The message is worth repeating...

Vancollins I think at some point the US has to stop invading everyone at the drop of a hat. I believe that this could turn into another Iraq if we approach it the same way. Let the UN do it's job.

Vancollins I think their is so much interest in discussing politics on mylot because it are almost guaranteed to get a response. It allows you to relieve your frustrations and get paid, although very little, to do it. Many people are having these conversations anyway.
