...because of deployment issues, lack of funds or leave to go "home", etc. Typical stuff...
Why can't you? And would you consider going to a "strangers" home (a fellow military family) if invited?

Ok someone told me that he came from an adopted family. His adopted parents encouraged him to DATE his adopted sisters.

Isn't that just wrong even though they aren't blood related?

And on the episode of Lost first episode. The brother and sister actually made out with eachother after we found out that they aren't related by blood. Come on isn't all this just wrong>???

I am 51, and since I was 19, I smell roses within 2 or 3 weeks before someone I "know" dies. It first happended when my best male friend was murdered. (I'm female). The second time I can remember was when my father died from a stroke at the age of 41. The third time was when my 29 year old brother in law died of a not known congenital heart defect. And then again when a business associate and his wife were killed in a plane crash. They were neither close to me, nor important to me in anyway I can recall.
It seems to me, or I accept it, as a warning. A warning to brace myself, knowing death of someone I know/love is in the near future. And, it doesn't matter where the scent hits me in correlation to who it might be.

Any info, links, etc., to help me figure this one out, is welcomed. I am a Christian.

Does anyone living in that time feel that if we had not lost such great people, our nation would have been a better and stronger nation and united in our love for one another, no matter what the race? I want sincere answers. Please no hate responses, just honesty.

I will tell you, I personally believe that your life is not complete without the Lord. I am not going to sit here and preach to you about heaven or hell. Instead I am going to ask some questions, for you. Do you feel complete? I didn't until I was saved. Do you feel vulnerable and alone? God loves you and wants you to be happy. Do you ever feel scared? God is always with you. God is so great, he created the world. So why don't you show your appretiation and live your life for him? The Lord works in mysterious ways. He has helped me in many ways I couldn't even begin to explain. Jesus died for me (and you) so it's time for me (and you) to do something for him. Be an inspiration to others. Show them that God is good, and so are Christians, not like so many non-Christians are.

I am trying to reach Christians and non-Christians with this question. Feel free to give your feed back.

Ok I bought a cereal dispenser, a wonder sandwich box thingy and a very fancy coffee cup with cocoa in it.

I was gonna give my brother's girlfriend the cereal dispenser but the coffee cup looks nicer.

I could give my friend the cereal dispenser and my brother's girlfriend the cereal dispenser.

Or will it make my friend feel bad if I gave her the cereal dispenser and my other friend a nice Starbucks collection?

Help? What would you do?

Ok. I know it is going to be wonderful but could some one please elaborate with more detail.
In fact, has this ever been explained at all by the authorities and those in direct contact with god?
No vague, hairy fairy, pie in the sky speculation please.
This is a serious question.

My mom has a friend and the woman is in her late 40s with a young son in his mid twenties like myself and a young teenage daughter. We have been over their house for get togethers and to hang out and stuff in my younger years. Anyhow, our friend, named Rosie, is Spanish mixed with Indian blood. She has the dark hair, skinand indian features. Her husband is from England and has white skin and blue eyes. Her son was born sometime in 1985(I am four years older and) and the other child 3 years later. We are close friends and so we do know the children are hers biologically. The thing is that the children do not look Indian or mestizo. I mean they are WASP looking like their father. As far as science we know the mestizo gene would be prominent. I am aware that the recesive gene can appear.I guess it is good they look like dad but what if the dad was Indian and the mom was white it migh raise a few eyebrows. How common is it for recessive genes to replace dominant genes?

"I would ban religion completely, even though there are some wonderful things about it. Religion has always tried to turn hatred toward gay people. It turns people into hateful lemmings and it is not really compassionate."
-Elton John

Elton John said this just recently. What do u all think of his logic? He says we should ban religion because it promotes homophobia. Opinions anyone??
