    Streams of Consciousness & Thoughts~~~

    . I've never been where you are. (God has graced me with good health.) But I would like to share some thoughts, if you don't mind. I hope they are not platitudes. 1) You need more faith. - That sounds like a platitude doesn't it. ;-) But wait, there's more. - I believe faith is defined in...

    Is the Attraction Wrong or What we do with it?

    I am "attracted" to certain types of ham radios, certain types of cars, and certain types of women. are you saying that I am sinning when I feel this attraction? There have even been a number of women I was attracted even though that attraction was not physical. Was that sin, too?

    A conversation about nothing in particular

    . He does that at salvation when you accept that He loves you so much that He sent His one and only human born Son to die in your place, and then three days later God raised Him (Jesus) from the dead. If you accepted that He loves you that much you are"baptized" (dunked) into His love. .
