I hear good things about people who are put in prayer chains. I just feel like I need all the help I can get lately. A preacher said the other day to be specific when you pray. Ask God for what you want, in a way that will benefit your life. Well I'm praying for a full-time job that will pay me a better than my wages now. I'm also praying that I can meet a nice guy who wants what I do out of life. Because I'm 27 I would like to start a family soon, but the dating scene is full of scary things. (I'm feel like I'm ready, I'm not just asking for that because I'm SUPPOSED to) I know what I want. A better job, a decent dating life, and to keep my van running great until I save enough money for something new. And please, all you haters out there that don't believe, save your disrespectful comments for someone else. Just because I believe doesn't give you a right to try to convince me how much YOU don't. Peace out.

What exactly does God have to say about it?
No it is not obvious to me because I have never read it so I wouldn’t know

or something equivalent to that but not mushy sounding. there's a guy who DOES speak English but i think it would be nice to say it in Spanish because he helps me so much with the Spanish speakers at work and he doesn't really have too. he is a really nice guy. how would you say that in Spanish "your a nice guy" or "a good friend to me"

The fourth Global Environment Outlook (GEO-4), published by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), reported that Earth has experienced five mass extinctions in 450 million years, the latest of which occurred 65 million years ago and "A sixth major extinction is under way, this time caused by human behaviour."

With more than six billion humans, Earth's population is now so big that "the amount of resources needed to sustain it exceeds what is available."

Since the number of people exceed the natural resources of the planet, Earth's sustainability relies on decreasing the current population.

Since gay people are able to reproduce, but do so at a significantly lower rate than those who are heterosexual or do not do so at all, aren't they helping to sustain the survival of the human species?

Do they issue you score cards in Sunday school? How is this rated and determined? Do you deduct 10 points for someone celebrating halloween, add 5 for someone who goes to church every Sunday, deduct 20 for being the "wrong" denomination, etc?

How do you judge...errrr.....I mean rate, other christians?

I have used sign language with my 15 month old daughter for nine months. She is responding very well, and is signing back about 5 signs!
Anyway... my question is: How does the hard of hearing community feel about hearing people and children using sign language? Is there any resentment? Sometimes I feel awkward about signing with my daughter in public because I don't want to offend anyone. I'm sorry if this sounds silly, I don't know any other way to ask it!
Thanks guys!

Exodus 20 is where you will find the 10 commandments. Exodus 20: 8-11 says " Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. Six days you shall do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God. On it you shall not do any work, ... For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy."

Matthew 5: 18 "I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished."

Saturday is the seventh day. (Look up Saturday in the dictionary) Why are most of the services on Sunday? After examining the scriptures above, how can it be ok to worship on Sunday instead of Saturday?

That would have made an even more interesting series.

With all the fuss over one character being "outed," after a book reading after the series was ended in answer to a reader's question, no less, what would the reaction had been if Harry himself had been revealed as gay in the last book itself? Would J K Rowling have been tarred and feathered where she stood? Was this a damned if she did, damned if she didn't thing?

Honestly I don't know where to begin. I work at a college and the young girls pee all over the seats and leave it. Why not lift the seat up then? Imagine if I did that at your mother's house! It''s rude.

I can see why Christians would frown upon using the Lord's name as part of a swear, but what do Christians have against using a swear word in a non-blasphemous context? If I slammed my hand in a door, and I said "that %&#!in' hurts", would that be un-Christian of me?
