Did it empower you? Or not? Did the experience surprise you or affect you in ways you did not expect?

Afrenglish is a word I just invented that means African American English. When African Americans speak amongst ourselves we in a very unique way express ourselves from an Afrocentric perspective. For instance, the use of the word *****. I have never heard any African American refer to any other African American as a ******. That word is from the English lexicon and has a negative connotations towards African American where as ***** is used as a term of endearment and/or fraternity. When African Americans speak amongst ourselves I have noticed that we speak in hieroglyphics. We do not need to expatiate but rather because of our close kinship we usually know what the other is saying without a full report, we just know. another example is when sistas call each other "girl". they are not calling each other children but rather friends. Ebonics makes it seem that our language is foreign and unacceptable when Afrenglish is another example of African creativity and evolution. what do you think?

First of all, I'm not gay.
OK, this is for all you gay people-You don't have to be gay. If you think that you don't choose what you like or can't change it please e-mail me and we will talk. for these who are proud of being gay-I hate the sin, NOT the sinner.(it is a sin to be gay)
God bless all.

I ask this because those who believe in Christianity say that their Bible was God inspired and so it is true.But since I never met the authors I don't have anything but their word that this is true.

They could and would say that because in Matthew this and Mark that it says blah blah blah about yackity shmackity and so that makes it true.And they would and could say that the Bible has many events that have been historically been proved to have occurred.

I am not saying the authors didn't exist.I am saying that what they write about may OR may not have existed.Before you answer this question maybe you should grasp that.

we were born as human and have got manythings..life, air, sun, mountains, sky, happiness, sadness, success, failures, hope and dreams.....so with all those graces...we shouldn't misused them with sins (which most of them give funs for human; gambling, free sex etc)

with the statements above, do you agree that our life should have given for the submission to the creator (God), if you believe in God, only one God.??

Not talking about college degrees or better 40 1K plans, I mean, what are you, as a human...seperate from the ties of the world, hungry for in your soul? What are you doing to attain it? Are you stuck in a rut doing the same old things, or are you actively seeking it?

For me, it is simply peace. I have changed my whole life around. Instead of being quick to judge others, I mentally put myself in their shoes. This one simple action has given me immense peace, and taught me to understand people. I pray a lot, and I meditate. I have actually healed myself this way from various things, through God's grace.

If you have a miscarriage or not able to conceive is that God telling you "you are not ready for this". Some people seem to think so.
