    Breast Cancer Awareness Gone Wrong (Warning: Rant)

    This is a few months old so you may have already seen it, but I just became aware of it so I wanted to get opinions. A woman put a hidden camera in her hot pink "sexy" bra, and then walked around with her jacket unzipped and her bra exposed to see who would sneak a peek. The promo said that...

    The Spoken Word

    Our sermon today (which was excellent) touched a bit on the power of the spoken word in the Hebrew mind. Patriarchal blessings, once spoken, could not be undone. Creation was taught to have been spoken into existence. Jesus was described as The Word. Words meant something important and...

    Seasonal People

    This quote really has me thinking today. Some people come in your life for a lifetime, some come for a season. You got to know which is which. You gone always mess up when you mix them seasonal people up with lifetime expectations. -Madea And a bit later, "That person was...

    Prenups

    Warning: This is not a serious thread. :p Scenario: You are getting married and you are a weirdo. (We all know you are weird, don't bother denying it.) What sort of outrageous and trivial things would you put in your prenup? Example: Gypsy has already admitted that she'd like a bell pepper...

    Scripture and Prayer

    In my experience, people usually seem to lean more toward one or the other. They either find it easier and more natural to pray, and perhaps a struggle to devote time to scripture, or vice versa. I tend to be much better in my prayer life than in meditating on the word. I don't know if this...

    How we communicate

    I have a ministry partner whose personality is very straight-forward, which I love about her most of the time, but it tends to offend people a lot and cause hurt feelings. Once, she hurt someone's feelings enough that the injured party went to the pastor to complain about it. (The injured...

    Weird stuff I think about

    Sometimes I wonder about weird stuff. Today I wondered about life before the Fall of Man, and the immortality mankind was to have had, and how that would look on a practical level. Of course, there would have been no sickness, no aging process, no violent crime, etc. But what about...

    Best Intentions

    What are some things people have done for you, or said to you when you were hurting, that were intended to help but failed miserably? Why did the gesture fail? What could have been done to make it more edifying? Did you let the person know that what they said/did hurt more than helped...

    Grace's Robotic Man

    As I journey through this single life and get to know the opposite gender on various deeper levels, I always seem to focus on those qualities that they have which I really enjoy and appreciate. One man I know may be funny and quick-witted, while another guy friend may be kind and caring...

    How old are you really?

    Age is such a relative thing. You have physical age, but experiences, circumstances, personality and so many other things factor into our "age". Having kids makes you automatically older. Being financially supported by your parents makes you automatically younger. Owning a home with all...
