I feel as though there is a constant distraction out there, even if you're a non believer, you have to admit, all the distractions we face in society that try to deter us from our own path in life, and make us focus on the distractions. For example, you set out on what you believe is God's plan, and for the non believers, let's say you set out on your own plan on life of some sorts, then things go wrong, you meet the wrong people, get sick, get into a car accident, get sucked into temptations which try to ruin your life and make your path you previously considered next to impossible to complete?

If that's the case, and I myself am a believer even in these modern and quite difficult/godless times, and firmly believe that people without god (the majority) go to and fro, without spiritual guidance or knowledge, so basically its just their own willpower, and if they mow someone down, that is if they're cut-throatish, they dont care. It affects us believers though.

So what do we do?

Emma Gough, 22 and of Jehovah faith died when she refused a blood transfusion. She had JUST given birth to twins and is also survived by her husband.

I just cant understand this. The blood transfusion could of saved her life. This is a life she is now going to miss with her new children and her husband. I know the Jehovahs argument is, well she wouldnt go to heaven if she broke this rule - but isnt it worth the risk? Surely you should live your life first and foremost and whatever happens after happens. There are NO promises to even say that there is heaven/paradise. It can't be proven.

I find one who puts there religion before their Childrens life, their loved ones life and more importantly, their own life - extremely selfish and down right stupid.

Discuss.

I dreamt the other nite that I was sitting in my living room by myself the tv was off and the the doors to our fireplace(woodstove) opened up and blood was running down the doors and inside. I took off running to my room which looked nothing like my real room anyways. I jumped in bed and hid under the covers and something a (ghost?) is clawing the covers off of me and then is trying to pull me out of the bed.Im screaming and no one can help me. Then I wake up in a sweat and my heart racing and cant sleep . This dream is really bothering me . What could this mean .?

...Accusing the Colts of cheating!! Isn't this the funniest thing you've ever heard!? What nerve they have! How can you continue to support this classless organization? They have the mindset of an 8 year old and think by accusing someone else of cheating it will make them look better for what they did! Come on Pats, this is why everyone hates you!

I feel like I can't get a handle on life b/c of the values and behaviors I learned... as an adult now its hard to grasp certain concepts and I find myself constantly leaning back on what my family taught me to be acceptable. How can I condition myself to be more empathetic, patient, and well?

I am only asking because I read an article in a South Carolina paper, ( I am on vacation in Myrtle Beach S. C. & having a great time) He stated that since this chase is a play-off type format, why should other 31 drivers race in the remaining races. It would be more $$$ for the sponsors of the 12 cars. He stated what other sports let teams play that didn't qualify for the play-offs to begin with. There is a computer in main registration office I use once a day to check out Yahoo answers. I am curious to everyone's opinion but I myself would like to see all 43 cars in the race because watching just a 12 car race wouldn't be as exciting. Good day to all

Share of what you have learned regarding this matter of your spirit. We know that when we have been saved we were regenerated in our spirit and that this spirit is One with the Lord. We also know that the Spirit Himself witnesses with our spirit that we are children of God. So in our spirit, there is the Holy Spirit, teaching our spirit, strenghtening our spirit, and as such teaching us how to live FROM our spirit day by day as we open to the Lord.
Please share on this verse and how it relates to you as a believer. Of your oneness with the Lord in spirit.

1 Cor 6:17
' But he who is joined to the Lord is One spirit"
There is a term, Mingled spirit" that a dear brother shared on and i found it very apt to describe the relationship between the Holy Spirit and our spirit. This joining is crucial. Our spirit is one place where the footprints of satan cannot be found. This part of our being as believers is sanctifed unto God for His purpose.

Please share more
in Christ

I worked for my Ex-Wife's father for 9 years. When my ex-divorced me for another man, I was ordered to pay child support to my ex-wife based on what I was making working for my Ex-father in law. Two weeks after the divorce was final, he fired me. Now, the best job I've been able to find is paying me exactly half of what I was making, but I'm still having to pay the original child support amount. I'm trying to get a modification, but I'm Three months behind right now. I'm out of things to sell, I can't work any more jobs, I don't know what else to do? What are my options? I live in Georgia.
