I mean I asked a question here but it was about looks not really anything pertaining to the bible, anyway the people who answer these questions are not theologians and they are definately not angels or messengers, so why ask a religious question on this forum instead of asking the creator himself or looking at the bible for the answers?

I am 26 years old. I just got out of an 11 year reationship. We were going to get married, buy a house and have kids. Things just didn't work out for us in the end. I just feel like I had my life all mapped out and comfortable and now everything is up in the air. Now I have a new bf who is 20 years old. I am falling in love with him and I think he feels the same way too. But at 26 I am ultimatly looking for someone to spend my life with. I don't know if I can expect that from him at 20. I don't want to waste either of our time. I certainly don't want to waste more years on something that will just end again. I want to get married and have kids in a few years. Yet I don't know why but I just feel like he's "the one". He is very mature and responsible. He`s not the typical 20 year old guy. He has already made comments about us living together. Should I have a talk with him explaining how I feel and ask him what he is really looking for from this??? PLEASE HELP!!!

i have some friends that smoke pot in the car all the time and i was wondering if this was stupid of them? i know its illegal and all, but they way they use it is fine. They are both smart girls, and they never get in trouble. so would smoking pot while driving be stupid if they drive carefully?
what would you do if you saw some one smoking?
is that an obvious thing when you drive by a car if they're smoking or not?

and dont waste your time telling me that pot is illegal. and dont tell me that they're sooo stupid for doing it while driving. They wouldnt have to drive around if pot was legal. So please no negative comments. it will just be a waste of ur time.

thanks.

In order to gain proper concentration in Prayer, it is important to keep one’s mind free of all pre-occupations with worldly affairs. Since our minds tend to dwell on the things which we are currently absorbed with, it is important to break the hold of this world upon our minds by conditioning ourselves to think consistently of Allah and the Last Day. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “A true believer is one who has made all of his thoughts subservient to the bigger thought: Allah.”

Another important point to remember is that often because of our indulgence in major sins, we may be deprived of true joy in Prayer as a penalty for these sins. Such sins include displeasing one’s parents, fornication or adultery, indiscriminate mingling and mixing with members of the opposite sex, unethical conduct and behavior in financial dealings, and so on.

Therefore, as a prerequisite step towards improving our concentration in Prayer, we must examine our life and purge it of all the major sins according to the best of our ability. After having done so, we can follow these tips which have been gleaned from the discussions of the salaf as-salih (pious predecessors):

1. Before standing up for Prayer, try to deal with all the minor urgent matters which demand your attention. If you are pressed by hunger, eat first; if you are pressed to attend to the call of nature, relieve yourself; if you are the parent of an infant, feed him or her, or keep him or her busy.

2. Perform your wudu’ (ablution) well, paying due care and attention.

3. Approach the Prayer with zest and passion as if it is the most important task in your life. Actually the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) taught us that we could do nothing in this world that could ever surpass Prayer in merit and excellence.

4. Visualize that in your Prayer you are going to have a special audience with Allah, Lord of the worlds, and that you are enjoying a direct communion with Him—which, in fact, is true.

5. Think of the Prayer you are performing as if it were the last Prayer of your life. In fact, it could very well be the last one, since no one is given a guarantee that he would live to perform another Prayer.

6. Picture the scene of the Last Day when people will be lined up into two groups, one destined for Heaven, and another for Hell, and ask yourself where you would be placed.

7. Focus your mind on what you are reading in your Prayer.

8. If, in spite of your best efforts, your mind is still wandering, seek refuge in Allah and bring your mind back to Prayer.

9. Pray to Allah and beg Him to grant you true the joy of concentrating in your Prayer and protection against the wanderings of your mind.http://www.concentrationinprayer.com/index.html

I have four cars.... no tickets or claims in years.. I have insurance now, but I think I am paying too much. Only one of them is driven on a daily basis..... the others very infrequently.

I think it proved that they are beatable. No they didn't lost but they won by 7 points to an unranked mediocre Michigan State team. Yes they are a little overated but not overated enough for me to call BCS and give em a piece of my mind.
