Does anyone else see the irony in this? He's quite serious about being referred to as an African American, and says he feels out his paperwork by checking this box for ethnicity...

Do you think god cares what religion you are or do you think he will take all that believe in a higher power to heaven?

I work at a large office and many of my co-workers who attend Bapatist churches listen to chruch music extrmely loud and often quote scrupture and read thier bibles at work. They love to discuss on Mondays sermons from Sunday and on Thursdays Bible study. Yet, these same people treat customers like garbage and often can be found gossiping, sleeping with married men, fornicating, telling lies, digging ditches etc. I am tired of hearing Kirk Franklin, Hezaki Walker and other played extrmemly loud only to have that same person treat me and others like the dirt on the ground.

I would love to hear from people who listen to loud church music and attend Baptist churches!

bother answering? If the specific answerer is a "Christian" what does this convey to the rest of us about Christian values?

I would have liked to been on that bus the day Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat. One rarely gets to witness such strength of character.

Elaborate if you will, please. Thank you.

We moved to a rural area and there has been a few mice in here.. We were told it is part of living out here. Our apt. is very clean and new. WE ARE MORTIFIED AT THE THOUGHT OF THIS. Do you know anything about this?? Also they are usually in shock from the cat, they just sit there when we put them out, is that safe or should we put them in the woods?

One Whisper of the Beloved (in this poem, Beloved reffers to God)

Lovers share a sacred decree –
to seek the Beloved.
They roll head over heels,
rushing toward the Beautiful One
like a torrent of water

In truth, everyone is a shadow of the Beloved –
Our seeking is His seeking,
Our words are His words.

At times we flow toward the Beloved
like a dancing stream.
At times we are still water
held in His pitcher.
At times we boil in a pot
turning to vapor –
that is the job of the Beloved.

He breathes into my ear
until my soul
takes on His fragrance.
He is the soul of my soul –
How can I escape?
But why would any soul in this world
want to escape from the Beloved?

He will melt your pride
making you thin as a strand of hair,
Yet do not trade, even for both worlds,
One strand of His hair.

We search for Him here and there
while looking right at Him.
Sitting by His side we ask,
"O Beloved, where is the Beloved?"

Enough with such questions! –
Let silence take you to the core of life.

All your talk is worthless
When compared to one whisper
of the Beloved.

Loving the world is time consuming. Yes it includes females. It also includes selfless acts. It does not always include the one you are with. Honest opinions please.

I went on a blind date on friday, and we had been there about 10 or 15 minutes when his phone rang, and he answered it. I thought it was really rude to answer your phone on a blind date, or any date for that matter. I mean, I was taking my time out to meet with him, and it's bad enough I had never met him. Then near the end of the meal he called his cousin for no reason! Needless to say I'm not planning on going out with this guy again, but am I being stuck up to think it's rude to answer your phone on a date, or was he in the wrong for answering it?

A lot of people probably do it when they are alone but will pretend they dont fart or something like that.

I am just curious. No offense here.

Honestly, some of mine don't deserve my time. I keep a distance from them, and plan to never speak to them again. Their lifestyle and past choices make me sick.

Are you in a situation as mine, and try to stay away from negative people, even if they are your relatives?
Or do you feel that you have to "love" them anyway and help them all the time?
