The Secret of Living

The secret of the Lord is with those who fear Him, and He will show them His covenant.

— Psalm 25:14


Have you ever been semi-listening in on someone's conversation? Not intentionally, of course, because you would never do that. Maybe you were in a restaurant and your table was right next to someone else's. Maybe you were talking to the person you were with or reading. You weren't really listening, but then you heard the magic word. Someone said, "I am going to tell you a secret right now. No matter what, I don't want you to tell anyone else this secret. . . . "

What did you do? Did you put your hands over your ears? No. If you're like most people, you listened more carefully. We all love to hear secrets. We want to know the inside story. Even if someone is a complete stranger, we are still interested in his or her secret.

God has a secret that He wants to declare to you. The Bible says, "The secret of the Lord is with those who fear Him" (Psalm 25:14). In many ways, this isn't really a secret, because it is plainly declared in Scripture. Unfortunately, because so few people have opened up the Bible to see what it says, they have missed out.

This is the secret of making life more full and meaningful. It is a secret that can help you avoid untold misery and heartache. You might even say it is the secret of living. We find it in Ecclesiastes 12:13, where Solomon says, "Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God and keep His commandments, for this is man's all."

That is what it all comes down to. That is what is going to keep you on track for God's plan for your life.

Will automobile dealers save you money if buying a car with cash or check?

By stranger I mean some one you don't know.
Might it be walking home alone at night? Or perhaps when one stares at you in line at the grocery store?
In answering please also explain why you feel threatened.
Is it because of experience? Is it because of another's experience? Is it because of a story/article you read?

We're both in college, living at home with our parents.
So often, we can't have sex in our homes.
I won't have a car for another month or so.
I've already tried changing rooms of a store...
I've booked a hotel, but I can't afford that as many times a week as I'd like sex....

Any ideas, please? =P

I am 21 years old and i had a debate with three older people older than me and they told me that the original meaning of from is "where you are born". I told them that from can also mean where you grew up the most of your life or raised. They told me that I was still young and really did not understand the word "from". I am a college student and wanted to try to prove to them that I was not too young to know common knowlegde. i dont usually try to prove myself but i had to try on this one knowing it is sort of weird to debate over the word "from".

I'll keep it short:

In the past, my husband and I have alternated Thanksgivings. One year with my family, next year with his, etc. Since this is our first holiday in our new house, we thought we would throw a nice, big Thanksigiving dinner.

The party includes around 20 guests, half being from my side and half from my husband's side.

My husband's side always does a Secret Santa gift giving for Christmas, and names are traditionally drawn at Thanksgiving. It's JUST that side of the family; they aren't very gung-ho about opening it up to my side of the family.

That's fine. I can respect that.

My question: They want to draw names at Thanksgiving, but my family will also be there. Should we ahead and draw the names, leaving out my side, or attempt to draw names in a different location, which may or may not be able to work out?

I live in a racially segregated area in Seattle, and I can drive about 5 minutes from my house and find nothing but Projects that are full of BLACK PEOPLE. This makes me so angry. This racist government has a so called WAR on Drugs that is directed only towards my People who sell CRACK, I've never seen a rehabilitation commercial to help people addicted to crack. However I've seen countless "Meth" commercials trying to help White people who are addicted to it, it's only because they want to help their own people. Why can the Government spend Billions of Dollars on Wars against innocent Arabian people but not to help Black people out of Poverty and from killing each other.



I know that in order for someone to receive help form another, they have to be willing to change themselves. I know that this will never change though until Blacks see that the Government and its enforcers (police) actually care and want to treat them as equals.

I love romance novels. The idea of love, true love, just fascinated me... lol.

I love hardcore romance movies...... with tragic endings and sacrifices to be made, and loud orchestras... everything about loving but having to sacrifice something.. i love it

I know i probably sound weird, but i love painful movies. I love a book or a movie that just touches my heart, whether it be the script, or the character. When i cry during a film, i just love it. I love the thought of a deep, beautiful story. When i watch a movie or read,i want to be transported to another world. I want to cry, laugh, and just go through a world of emotions.

I am a die-hard romantic..lol

So whats your favorite type of movies/books?

I get to cook this year, and I am having trouble finding a SIMPLE recipe for the turkey. Every recipe I find has tons of ingredients that I'm not interested in using, like fruit, champagne, oysters, etc. I am making it for just me and my husband, and we don't like that fancy food network type cooking.
Can anyone recommend a simple way to prep the turkey for unsophisticated palates like mine?
