From the time my son was born it was "look out world here I come". I swear he looked at me in the delivery room and said "tighten your seatbelt mom its gonna be a bumpy ride".

He rolled over the day he came home from the hosptial, stood up and started running when he was barely 8 months old, climbed cupboard and launched himself into space from there, hung over the side of his crib until he fell out and then scooted off exploring in the middle of the night -- I had to put a harnass on him everytime we went everywhere.

He also managed to fall into every single puddle, creek, lake, stream, fountain, swimming pool, body of water he came across. I was forever fishing him out of places - he could slip out my hand in a mini second - and splash --

He was also the smiliest, brightest little baby - he could talk in full sentences when he was 14 months old.

My daughter was the complete opposite. Very easy to care for, and well behaved. Walked on her 1st birthday, not ran.

Shouldn't this be HIS decision that HE makes in one of the books? Who does this woman think she is closing the door behind him? Better question, will this revelation have any impact on your interest in reading these books now?

SisterZe had a "question" that stated that snakes were somehow satanic. My question is, if snakes are satanic, why did God save them from the flood? Why not wipe then off the face of the earth right then and be done with it? That seems like the logical thing to do. What say you all?

It's very confusing. We have people on these forums that claim to be Christian, who claim to love and obey God. Yet they cheer the War in Iraq, started by George Bush, and approve attacking Iran. Now, I can understand why they might feel that any Iranian conflict might be defensive, since Iranians are working on nuclear capability, even though they claim it is for peaceful purposes. But, the Iraq War was definitely not started in self-defense. Even though Saddam Hussein may have been reprehensible, there was no urgent danger to our country. On top of that, there are groups of Christians in Iraq, inspiring soldiers to embrace Christianity and "go out and fight for the Lord."

Whatever happened to "Thou Shalt Not Kill"? Has someone rewritten the Bible? Or are today's Christians twisting God's words?

everyone on the internet says the whole emo thing is much more than the hair, clothes, and everything else. lots of people say emo is a lifestyle.

well, for a long time i've been called emo, i i decided to do a web search on it. they say emos cut themselves, and wear tight clothes, and are all depressed all the time.
but besides wearing tight clothes, i'm not emo at all.

then i found out there's a whole lifestyle behind it, and i simply don't like being called emo, espically since i don't think i follow the lifestyle behind it. then i'm considered a poser for something i don't want to be, or even be a poser for!
so i was wondering...
what is this lifestyle, and where did it come from?

For me, there are many things in the bible I don't believe or follow, but I'm not an atheist because I do still believe in god. What is the catergorization of people who don't believe in the bible but they do believe there is a god?

It's logically impossible.

We are told that God knows the precise time of every human's death, so therefore he must know the future.

But if God knows the future then human free will is impossible, for under that assumption it would NEVER be possible for any human to act in ANY manner other than the manner already foreknown to God.

If a human COULD act differently than God already knew the human would act, then God would not be perfectly omniscient.

So which is it, Christians? Do humans have free will, or is your God omniscient?

Being catholic.. I see this at every mass. And sometimes people choose not to shake fellow members hand. Do you have a problem with shaking hands, or does it make you feel unconfortable at all? Come on all you Catholic people out they're!

(It's the opening to a short story I've been writing.)

“So, what brings someone like you to a place like this?” it was an honest question—it wasn’t exactly normal for someone to be standing all by himself at the Halloween carnival wearing a pair of Dolce & Gabbana sunglasses.

He didn’t give an immediate response but gave this wicked smile as if telling him that he didn’t have time to talk to children. Kaffe wasn’t a child, though, he had turned fifteen eight months ago, plus, the other man didn’t seem to be any older than eighteen.

After a sip of his Styrofoam covered soda, the mysterious man answered, “I’m a demon here to prey on unsuspecting children as custom on Halloween night. Didn’t you know?” Kaffe grinned and decided to play along, “So, Mr. Demon, having any luck?”

“Plenty, I’m like honey to a hive of bees. I just seem to naturally attract them.”

I mean think about the nature of a snake. They are cold, calculating, no feelings, no emotions, heck they will even try to eat their owners without a moment of regret. They don't "taste" their food or enjoy it they swallow it whole. I know the bible is the inspired word of God but for those who don't.........do you realize the people who wrote the bible had no real knowledge about snakes as they had done no "scientific testing" at that time. Isn't it amazing that for a few hundred years science seemed to prove God's reality to people, until they deliberately tried to start "denying the truth" and having willfull ignorance?

Searching for snakes may not be for everyone. Most snakes are secretive and finding them is a difficult task. Here are some tips about snake habits, so your next encounter will be more than just a chance meeting.

Laurence M. Klauber, the Museum's first herpetologist, was the first to report on the successes of road driving for snakes. Now referred to as "night-driving" or "road-cruising," snake enthusiasts will spend hours driving up and down paved roads at night in search of snakes

Snakes are most active in warm weather (75-90°F) and tend to avoid both cold and extremely hot temperatures. Search for snakes when the temperature is right. In the spring, snakes will be more active in the daytime. In the summer, when days are sweltering, snakes will be active at night.

Snakes on the move often stop and pause on surfaces that are warm in order to thermoregulate. Warm surfaces include paved streets, dirt roads, and hiking trails. Keep an eye out for snakes stretched perpendicular to the direction of travel. While good sources of heat, roads and trails are dangerous places with lots of predators. Exposed snakes often take the shortest path to get to cover on the other side.

They will bask on rocks or sun themselves before dark. When hiking in wilderness areas, southwestern facing slopes have a greater abundance of snakes. These slopes receive the last rays of the day. Rock climbers on southwestern facing slopes beware!

Snakes will wait for their prey. Look for snakes in areas with rodent activity. These include woodpiles and rocky terrain. Rodents like to run along the margins of barriers such as large boulders. Snakes will coil and wait along rodent trails.

They are secretive, so look under logs and rocks. Make sure you return the log or rock to its original position.

The most abundant snake species are Gartersnakes. Many Gartersnakes can be found in a single outing. Look in streams, ponds, and lakes. Gartersnakes may be seen along the margins, swimming underwater, or basking on rocks and floating vegetation.
