We have been dating for three years, we have lived together for two, and have never had these issues. Lately, he's been inviting the guys over on Friday (before I walk in the door after a 50-hour work-week) for poker or a party, (which is fine, I like entertaining), but it turns into a weekend-long sleepover.

Saturday morning usually consists of me waking up and walking over sleeping men in my living room who wake up and watch MLS and College football all day... which turns into drinking and watching trilogy movies and end up sleeping in my living room on Saturday night too.

Sunday morning usually consists of me waking up and walking over sleeping men in my living room who wake up and watch NFL football and argue about fantasy football all day.

When they finally leave, it's 10pm on Sunday night... and time for me to go to bed b/c I have to wake up at 4am to go to work. I'm exhausted, I've talked to him about it, but nothing seems to work, how would you deal with this??

We tend to take Jesus death for granted, we need to be reminded of the price that Jesus paid for each of our sins.
No man would sacrifice himself in that way, especially knowing the outcome, the size of them large nails, like-spikes being pounded through hands and feet into the cross, being crucified. The gift of salvation was not cheap.

God, who is rich in mercy, out of the great love with which he loved us even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ. Ephesians 2:4-5

Think about Jesus every time you speak an unkind word, behave selfishly, or lie. You have the peace of knowing that your sins are forgiving through Jesus' death. That goes for me too. We all tend to take it for granted...... can you do what Jesus done, can you pay for others sins, especially being crucified.....no I don't think we can, especially knowing before hand the pain and suffering.

Is it now against policy to put up prayer requests as part of a question?

Would you pray if I told you I just received a call from my brother that his wife, who just had heart bypass surgery a couple of months ago, had a hear attack this morning?

Her recovery has been going perfectly so this is quite a surprise.

Do you think that asking for prayer for a need is a violation of policy?

Is this question a request for prayer and not a question?

I believe in "ladies first" and doors opened. And I believe the man is the "head of household" - if there is a man involved. I do think women should potray their strenghths and independence. But I think women should be feminine and men should be masculine. I just want to know who disagrees with me - I feel "old-school".

e when they are more represented than Asians, Native-Americans, or Middle Easterners? Have you noticed the black population and Hispanic populations is rapidly and steadily consistently increasing in the U.S. and many other places so you guys are not actually a minority anymore? The U.S. census predicts in 50 years from now, the minority will be whites and the majority hispanic. And yet you guys (not all but many) always complain about not being represented enough in the media and that's why you want to continue your magazines and channels, etc. Personally I think it's unfair that you guys get your own magazines and channels and yet you are still represented in the mainstream, why is it you get to have your cake and eat it too? I think if any ethnic groups should receive their own channels, t.v. shows, magazines, etc then it should be the Native-Americans, Asians, and Middle Easterners bc they are not well represented or included in mainstream pop culture and media, but why dont they

I asked this before but I thought it was worth repeating.

Just a thought, please hear me out before you answer.

okay say men did make God Jesus etc. up, why not make up something more desirable to the flesh?
Why make up some supreme being that requires you to do opposite of your fleshly desires?
like: forgive those who hurt you, etc.
wouldn't man have made up a "god" who would allow them to indulge in all their fleshly desires, promote self , and the most amazing one ....why would they create hell?

why not everyone lives forever in "happyland" because everything is okay and no sin etc.?

and please don't use the "old" fear tactic or control, it's much easier to get people to follow "feel good" religion.
and remember they "made it up" to follow for there selfs and died for it. who would die for a lie?
just athought.

For example, if someone else gets really pissed off at me because THEY misunderstood what I've said, why should *I* be expected to apologize?

what happens to the people who are baptized and believe in jesus and repented but they atritbute the work of God to satan
Jesus does not lie about these sort of things

so it is eother one or the other and Jesus made a promise that whoever believes and is baptized is saved

so what about someone who is baptized and beleives but they attribute the work of God to satan and then go back to beleiving and repnting

jesus is NOT a liar
i just dont get it

so the bible says that the person who is being babtized into christ must declare that they believe he is their savior. So how can babies make that choice...its not up to the parents, but if they do babtize them as babies, then the babie has not "accepted" christ into their life. some churches say that the parents sins are passed down through birth, i will believe you when you find me a bible verse that says that that is OK.

Mark 12:29-31 (King James Version)
29And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:

30And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.

31And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.

-The "road hog" in front of you on Main Street is a farmer's combine.
-The local phone book has only one yellow page.
-Third Street is on the edge of town.
-You leave your jacket on the back of the chair in the cafe, and when you go back the next day, it's still there, on the same chair.
-You don't signal turns because everyone knows where you're going anyway.
-No social events can be scheduled when the school gym floor is being varnished.
-You call a wrong number and are supplied with the correct one.
-Everyone knows all the news before it's published; residents read the hometown paper just to see whether the publisher got it right.
