My parents are retiring soon and I was worried if they'd have enough money to live off of because all I hear about is how little social security pays out. When I looked over their paperwork however, they're getting a pretty good amount plus my dad gets a pension. Growing up we were middle class, they never earned that much but now they're gonna get almost $40,000 a year in SS plus pension, plus 401K.

Merry Christmas everyone! I will be busy over the next few days, and so this will probably be the only time I can do it. Hope you have a great time.

(if you don't celebrate Christmas, the Merry/Happy ____________ to you)

I think this is really profound..It's so true..When your not a Christian you are blinded to what the reality is..Without God you have nothing !
"The hope of the godless comes to nothing. Everything they count on will collapse. They are leaning on a spiderweb. They cling to their home for security but it won't last. They try to hold fast, but it will not endure. The godless seem so strong, like a lush plant gowning in the sunshine, it's branches spreading across the garden. Its roots grow down through a pile of rocks to hold it firm. But when it is uprooted it isn't even missed! That is the end of its life, and other sprung up from the earth to replace it." 1 Job 8:13-19 NLT

So give me your thoughts on this !
Thank you and god bless :)

For christmas day, I was thinking of giving my kids maths puzzles instead of gifts, and for my wife I would compose a list of ways that she has angered or saddened me in the last year (although she has hinted at a necklace). Is this a way forward for a family christmas?

God presented him as a sacrifice of atonement, through faith in his blood. (Romans 3:25)

Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. (Ephesians 5:2)

He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world. (I John 2:2)

Plus the ENTIRE book of Hebrews.

How do you fully integrated this perspective into your life as a 21st Century person?

I am a Christian, and of course I am offended when people say that my religion is fake, but how come it doesn't seem that people are as skeptical about other religions?

If there was a time when there was no tools for writing, how then can we be sure that what is in the bible is accurate? Have you ever tried the game where you whisper a secret, pass it down the line, then laugh at the end result, because it usually is no wheres near the original message?

for the past...eh about 3 months i have been completly obsessed with trying to figure out my sexual orientation. right now i am calling myself bi, but honestly im really confused. ive been talking to friends about it nonstop, taking online quizes, watching tons of movies with lesbianisum in it. im so intreeged, i think i might be a lesbian, but idk. i cant stop thinking about it and its drivin me crazy. i jus want to know what i am.

when i was a young teenager [age10-12] i made out with 4 girls before i even had my frist boyfriend[age13-14]. and i was so confused then i had no idea what was going on, so everytime i did it i would go brush my teeth cause i didnt know that something like that was possible. but then as i got older i relized that there is homosexuality, and now i cant stop thinking about it.

ive kissed 4 girls and 2 guys in my entire life. [17 years] and idk wats goin on. im so confused.
