Something that made you LAUGH today

Thomas — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 22:14:47 GMT

I felt this should be a separate thread from the smile thread. That way people can know they can come here for a good laugh. That and I didn't really want to post the following in the Smile thread. Maggie's youth pastor and his wife accusing Maggie of being interested in me. Some people appear to be trying to make a match for the "matchmaker."

Yoga?

queenbee — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 01:15:51 GMT

Just a quick question... what do people think of yoga as a way of relaxation/exercise? Is it possible to do it without the spiritual connections that a lot teach it with? Any further thoughts?

T minus 0

queenbee — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 07:31:03 GMT

So, tomorrow is the Big Day. The due date. A 3% chance he'll actually come tomorrow, lol. And I have a couple of prayer requests... Yesterday, I had an appointment with the midwife, and booked in to be induced on the 18th Nov if he hasn't come by then. Long story short, it entails going in at about 3pm on the 17th to start it all, which means I'd be in hospital until I go home after having the baby. NOT ideal at all. I'm kinda freaked out about it all and am imagining the worst case scenario ...

A question about Leviticuts and laws.

Bubblies — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 07:32:44 GMT

Leviticus 18:22 "You must not have sexual relations with a man as you would a woman. That is a hateful sin." Ok, that's clear enough. Leviticus 19:19 "Obey my laws. You must not mate two different kinds of cattle or sow you field with two different kinds of seed. You must not wear clothing made from two different kinds of material mixed together." I guess I'm confused as to why we choose to follow some of the OT laws, and not others. Why is homosexuality ...

Kinda shaken...

Heidi — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 21:43:18 GMT

We got home from my parents last night, took the baby up to bed (he was asleep) then he started crying inconsolably so we were trying to calm him down. Will had just unloaded the car but I was still going to get something - he didn't know that though so locked the back door and turned off the lights and came upstairs. He was holding Archie, I was brushing my teeth. Then I went down to get my iPod... and the car DOOR is OPEN. I hear footsteps running off down the drive, called Will down... they ...

Does anybody do the shoeboxes? My youthgroup is having a lock-in sleepover this weekend. We're all bringing supplies and then we'll make up the shoeboxes during the sleepover. It's super fun. I went to the store today and bought toothpaste and toothbrush, a comb, pony-tail holders, and some gum and tic-tacs. I was going to get a couple of small toys but I was at the store (Safeway) and they had less than a quarter of one side of an aisle with toys!!! I guess it's not close enough to Christmas ...

The next year...

I keep making plans for the next year or so, and then having them change. There are some exciting possible opportunities before me...and some doors I'd hoped would open that haven't. One thing that just came up today was a professor asking me to work with him for the rest of the school year as, essentially, a research assistant, to help him research and write an article...which we would potentially get grant money for and publish jointly at the end of the school year. It'd be super-exciting ...

November Devotionals

Sparkling4Him — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 12:47:18 GMT

"Rejoice in the LORD always. I will say it again: rejoice!" - Philippians 4:4 I knew this verse from a song I sung in Children's Church growing up, and it's never left me. The obvious question to ask from this verse is "when do we rejoice?" The answer is just as obvious - "always". Even when we are unemployed, in the midst of a move, struggling with relationship issues, facing exams, or are just finding it tough, we are to rejoice. If life is going swimmingly, ...

End of year exams

Sparkling4Him — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 23:08:42 GMT

My exams are next week... 3 are worth 60% of my grade, one is worth 50%... and the thing is, I'm not ready for them! I'm having so much trouble trying to study for them, I've had a majorly short attention span all week, and have felt ridiculously tired since Tuesday (even tho I'm getting more sleep than normal!) Could you please pray that I am able to successfully study, and make the most of my time? Pray for motivation to study, and for good recall when I get into the exams. Thanks!

Baptism (a few kinds)

Lily Among Thorns — Tue, 02 Dec 2008 18:27:44 GMT

This has piqued my interest, so... And I have a few questions. If you want to start with one and move down, or focus on one in particular...whatever. 1. Is baptism neccessary to get to heaven? 2. Is baptism neccessary as a part of the Christian walk? (As in, you don't have to, but it's really important to?) 3. Is infant baptism wrong? I don't believe it is baptism is neccessary to get to heaven. Baptism in water doesn't cleanse the soul, Jesus' sacrifice does. I'm not exactly ...

But the music is so loud, she cannot hear his answer. So the second guy leans over and says to her, "The first guy said he is married. But really, he is single." ...

Prosperity Gospel

Bubblies — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 04:12:18 GMT

About a month ago I woke up at a silly hour of the morning and couldn't get back to sleep so I turned on the tv and Jesse Duplantis was on blabbering on about something I really have no interest in (I'm not too fond of televangelists). Anyway, he brought my attention to the Prosperity gospel.

And don't start a sentence with a conjunction. 4. It is wrong to ever split an infinitive. 5. Avoid clichés like the plague. (They're old hat.) 6. Also, always avoid annoying alliteration. 7. Be more or less specific. 8. Parenthetical remarks (however relevant) are (usually) unnecessary. 9. Also ...

Psalm 136 basically gives the history of Israel (until the point it was written), and after every line, the Psalmist recognises God's love. So let's add our own praise to the end of the Psalm: Quote: 1 Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good. His love endures forever. 2 Give thanks to the God of gods. His love endures forever. 3 Give thanks to the Lord of lords: His love endures forever. 4 to him who alone does great wonders, His ...

Go away you married and dating people. jk you can post here if you want. So I'm single and will be for at least another year and three quarters (until I leave for college. There aren't any guys in the town I live in for me). I guess I rock at being single. How do you rock at being single????
