A former student of mine has included me on a group mailing list asking for prayers and financial support for her missionary group that's going to Russia to work with youth in a sports camp/Bible study group. No doubt the sports activities will be fun for the Russians, but there's no mention of building houses, feeding the hungry, or otherwise helping the poor. The primary purpose of the mission is to "open the hearts of the people" & to connect with God in a new and intimate setting".

While I have no problem with people sharing their religious views with willing listeners or with followers of a particular religion renewing their belief in God, I'd rather help out a charity that makes a more concrete contribution to people's lives. I only earn $15,000 a year as an adjunct professor at a university & can't afford to sponsor anyone taking an overseas trip for their own spiritual enrichment.

Should I make a token contribution anyway? If not, how should I respond?

I've seen a movie where two people communicate through letters placed in a secret compartment of an antique work desk. Does anyone remember the title or who starred in that movie? I can't stop wondering. Thanks

A very bright, previously unknown comet will appear & coincide with the time of great geological troubles. The USA willbe subject to serious natural diasters, particularly earthquakes & flooding & flatten the USA from end to end, cusing enormous conflict, despair, & misery. Our country will be bankruted attempting to deal with its disasters. Three other nations will aid its citizens to survive. The USA will be torn with civil strife & riotin as people migrate to areas that have water & can support crop growing. All this social upheaval & weakening of political structures will help the Antichrist come to power. THE DATES? Between 2006 and 2012. Is this scary or what!

I have an 11-month old German shepherd-bloodhound mix female puppy, and recently she's started to just stare at me and whine incessantly. For hours. Like she wants something, although she's been outside, been played with, ate, drank, gotten rawhide, etc. etc. I don't know what she wants! If she's not whining, she's just standing in front of me staring at me, and when I go to pet her, she backs up...it's really annoying! My other dog has never done anything like this, so I'm a little confused...any help?

He was being a jerk last night.. but we had great sex and all was well.. He woke up in a bad bad mood this morning. There was a cup of water and it fell on his head.

I left my cell off all day. He just called and left a message on my house phone.

Its not that I dont love him... I just dont want to talk to him right now.
