So many friends in Belgium and I would love to be able to speak their language.I can make a little bit of sense of it when reading it.At school (many years ago), i was really good at French and German, but when you dont use it, you lose it....So, is it better to go to nightclasses or learn from home?Any advice?

I have never figured this one out. I know the bible is made up of gospels they have found. But who decides what gospels go in and what gospels don't.

The pattern seems to be that all of our technology was originally developed with some military application in mind. Technology never seems to evolve for peaceful purposes alone.

I finished the book yesterday.
It is the most amzing book I have ever ever read, it really made me realise that everything we do has a consequence upon other people, everything!!
Quite deep really.
But it made me wonder who I would meet in heaven.

Who do you think your 5 people are?

Is it a bonding thing because of similar orientation? Or is it a trust thing that has nothing to do with orientation? Do straights tend to befriend straights? Do bi's tend to befriend other bi's? Do gays/lesbians tend to befriend other gays/lesbians?

I had dream last night that felt important:- I was driving along the coast road bettween Bridport and weymouth it is a road i use alot in the real world and i know well. My wife is in the car and we are going to colect the children, we are late and my wife is telling me we are going the wrong way. the road starts to rise in a steep hill and the ground falls away either side of the road, there is only 1-2 inces either side of the car and a shear drop both sides. We reach the top of the hill and start to decend when my hair falls over my eyes, i brush the hair away but i am blind!
I woke up at this point and felt so strongly that it was important that i got up and wrote it down. I split up with my wife recently and the children live with me. i know this dream is about the colaps of my marage but i dont know what it maens. Do you?

The Testimony of Faith, Ritual Prayer, Obligatory (religious) almsgiving, fasting and The Pilgrimage to Mecca. HOWEVER,
i 've read in some sources that the 'original" pillars were different!!!
one of them mentioned "jihad against the infidels"

is there any truth to that? please provide references.

thanks

For example, If someone were to kick you really hard in the testicles wouldn't it be nice if, insteady of agonizing pain, you felt as if they were being lovingly caressed by the warm, moist palms of your beautiful 5th grade teacher whom you secretly had a crush on?

In England (and USA I believe) owning your own house is seen as being really important. I hear that this is not the case in France, and that lots of people rent instead of buying - why is this?

And who owns all the properties that people rent, if most people rent?

Is this a continental Europe trend or just French?

I was shopping yesterday at the grocery store, and as I was waiting in line to ring up, a large woman pushed ahead of me put her stuff before mine. I asked her what she was doing, and she said that since she was large, she needed to get home faster than I had to, because she had to eat more often, whereas I wouldn't get starving waiting in the line at the store. I thought this was absurd, but all of the fat people in line glared at me and I had no choice but to comply. Why do fat people think they deserve so much respect?

"what shall it profit a person if they gain the whole world and lose their own soul."

Isaiah predicted our Messiah would be born a miracle sign to a virgin and be God with us-chapter 7vs14, 9vs6 states

"Unto us a child is born, a son is given, and he shall be the prince of peace, the almighty God, and the wonderfull counselor."

who is your counselor most importat who is your almighty God, who gives you inner peace???

as a Jewish person i believed Isaiah so i could believe in Jesus as my Messiah

"Jesus saith, I love you and stand at your heart's door and knock, if you let me in to deliver from sin, I will come in and be your friend and you mine." Revelation 3vs19&20 &1vs1

--so i prayed- would u pray this too if you dont already have Jesus to have the truth " Jesus thanks for your love, please come into my heart and forgive me, help me do better, and be my friend. amen"
