Does that mean she has low self esteem?

Or only goes for married men?

what I mean by decades older is old enough to be her dad or grand dad or older.

Do we have to accept what used to be so morally wrong in our American culture? Do we have to be politically correct about things we once thought were dead wrong? Almost nothing shocks us anymore; are we becoming numb to "Acceptance and Tolerance"? Accepting, tolerating and making excuses for almost ANY behavior?
And no, I am not an old granny, I have a 9, 8 and 3 year old, but I'm just sick of the immorality in this world today and very afraid for my children!
Will it get worse or better?
What do you think? And what can we do?

Trinity? Virgin birth? Miracles?

The trinity is not mentioned in the bible, and Jesus certainly never said anything about it at all. Matthew 28:19 was written 100 years after Jesus died by a man that couldn't have possibly been one of his disciples.

Virgin birth you say? Why don't you worship Adam and Eve then? They were made out of dirt and bone.

Miracles were performed by saints too. How come you don't become a St. Thereasanian?

Have you been feeling kind of down? We all do from time to time, but I've got good news. Philippians 1:6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perfom it until the day of Jesus Christ:

So how is it going for you?

We're doing a themed gift giving with my husband's family the "rules" are:
1) Must be items beginning with an initial in their name(s).
2) Must be $20-$25 no more.
3) No live animals or "dirty themed items. Silly is ok though.
We're kind of stumped at this point, we've gotten them a few various items to fill a gift basket for each but still coming up short of the min $20 range. We've gotten: Gloves, Grey Poupon Mustard, Gourmet Soups, Seedless Blackberry Jam, Gold Fish Crackers. Any other ideas to fill out the baskets? Need more of the "R", "J", & "C". Thanks for any ideas. Please keep this clean though I've got my kids helping me with this thanks!

I work at a bathing suit store where we sell both male and female swim suits but our clintelle is 99% female.

The other day at work a young man wanted to try some trunks on, so as I was getting a change room ready for him, my shift supervisor said he had to wait because he is a guy and to let a girl go in first.

I said, "WHAT!? That's sexist! Just because he's a boy he has to wait?

Keep in mind there was like a 5-10 minutes waitlist for a change room because it was crazy busy.

I let him in anyways and got in trouble. Was I right?

if repenting is asking for god's forgiveness, then isn't that just like "praying" what's your definition of repentance and do you do this every time you sin?
