I did a couple of years ago. I saw them at the WinterJam that came to a nearby town. I purchased their 'honor' bracelet from them, which at the time was made of thick rope. I also purchased their CD and had them sign it, which is when I found out that Luke's favorite portion of Scripture is...

Do you ever wonder why we are called 'Christians' and 'servants' and 'followers' and no longer 'disciples'? This became clear to me one day a year or so ago and I just thought about it today. The term 'disciple' means follower of person or idea: somebody who believes in and follows the...

I don't know if this has been shared yet, but I just learned about this legislation today, and though it hasn't reached my state yet, it seems legit and valuable and good...but I haven't really looked deeply into it. What are your thoughts? Caesar, Coercion, and the Christian Conscience: A...

Sometimes, when you see that someone liked your post in a thread that, when you posted the one they liked, the thread was happy and innocent and only a few posts long and you know the madness that has befallen the thread that is now 500 posts long, and you want to shout, "Go back! You should not...

So, we are called as followers of Christ and true believers in the Bible as the infallible word of God, holy and alive and sharper than any two-edged sword, to love the Lord our God with all our heart, soul, mind and strength and to love our neighbor as ourselves. So that brings to mind the...

Sometimes, on those dark days, when life just slaps you and slaps you and you think, "What is going on?!?!", those are the days when self-pity opens up wide and says, "Come on in, sweetie, and tell me all about it." I had a moment like that yesterday. When I look at my life as it is right now...

I locked myself and my three dogs out of the house before work. I did have my car key, thankfully, so, because my dogs are little escape artists, I had to load them up in the car and drive to the bus lot to meet my mom so I could use her phone to call work and her key to get into the house...

When I was at Disneyland in January, I took a selfie with a goat. Here is that selfie:

In this process of adopting, facing disappoints is difficult. It seems like most of the time, you’re in limbo, waiting, waiting, waiting, and then denied or told that they want to wait, even though you’re a possible match. Waiting, waiting, waiting. It is hard to imagine how the children feel...

There is a thread that is currently irking my very soul due to the pride and judgement cast about by someone and though I should avoid it like the plague, I am not, because this person feels that anyone with an opinion opposite theirs is not saved. Great thing to have here. Blah. So, pride...

1. People who disagree with you because they didn't like something you said in one thread, so every time you comment in another, they spew their word vomit all over the place. 2. People who think writing in bold or colors or Different sizes or ALL CAPS makes their post more relevant. 3. People...

...but I never came in here when I was, so I thought, eh, might as well. My name is Olaf and I like warm hugs. :) But, seriously, my real name is Julie. I have lived most of my life being aware of God, if that makes sense. There was a time in junior high when I surrendered my life to Him...

Ha ha! I am SO guilty of derailing your thread! I'm sorry. :)

Do you ever look at a thread and think, "Why are we even debating this?" This happens to me when I see other Christians trying to make Christ look bad and all I can think is, "Why are we even debating this? There is no way that Jesus is the things you're saying He is. His very nature is justice...

...I am feeling amazingly cynical and sarcastic today and, I daresay, that most of my responses to forum threads today will reflect that. :) And, may I add, stop romanticizing sin. Sin is ugly, foul and dark. It is rebellion against a holy God, who seeks only our best, and we decide that sin is...

Lesson Learned: there are some on here that are right. That's all there is to it. If your view is at all different from theirs, beware, for they will pounce on you, pull your statements out of context, call you the devil, say you're not saved, call you stupid, and say that your posts are...

What's that you're holding onto? Shut your eyes and see it, see it clearly and then, with great care, let it go. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=moSFlvxnbgk

13 Now who is there to harm you if you are zealous for what is good? 14 But even if you should suffer for righteousness' sake, you will be blessed. Have no fear of them, nor be troubled, 15 but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who...

I created this today. :) I want to start doing this with verses that speak to me. Let me know if there's a verse you'd like me to turn into a photo for you, and I'll do my best to make one you'll like. :) What do you think of this design and verse? UPDATE: Here's one I made this morning from...
