Creed

Trying desperately hard (without success) to avoid getting a visual of this.

It'll be even worse than a fall . . . Proverbs 16:18 . . . Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall.

Is this a Biblical statement? "God helps those who help themselves." This verse came to mind as I read the above . . . Ps. 121:2 "My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of Heaven and earth." I know apart from Him, I can do nothing.

So . . . LOL How weird am I ? Don't be afraid to say. I'm not easily offended On a scale from 1-10, I'll rate you a 7.

Agree with you, Nathele . . . what popped in my mind was the Tower of Babel.

Jacqueline, you're spot on that it's a "spell" book. Your brother is in enough trouble w/out getting into the occult as well. I found the following info in Wikipedia. The Sixth and Seventh Books of Moses is an 18th or 19th century magical text allegedly written by Moses, and passed down as hidden (or lost) books of the Five Books of Moses or Pentateuch. A grimoire, a text of magical incantations and seals, it purports to instruct the reader in the spells used to create the miracles portrayed in the Christian Bible. The work was printed with annexes or reputed Talmudic magic names, words and incantation, many taken from Christian biblical passages. It shows diagrams of "Seals": magical drawings accompanied by incantations intended to perform tasks from controlling weather or people, to contacting the dead or Christian religious figures. Copies have been traced to 18th century German pamphlets, but an 1849 printing, aided by the appearance of the popular press in the 19th century, spread copies through Germany and Northern Europe, to German immigrants in the United States, to the African American South and Caribbean, and Anglophone West Africa. It influenced European Occult Spiritualism, as well as popular religious movements in the American South (Hoodoo), the Caribbean (Rastafarian), and West Africa.

My vote: turn it off

Fireproof

Maybe because they were the transportation of choice, and there were plenty of them around.

I'm curious as to what this means. She likes spending LOTS of money, maybe?

What you lose on the hurdy-gurdy you pick up on the roundabout This shall be my new motto in life.

I agree. It sounds New Agey. A local church here hosted a seminar concerning autism that sounded too good to be true. I checked out the website of the invited guest "ministry" and found that it was steeped in New Age. In fact, their references who spoke glowingly of them were all New Age gurus.

Short in stature, tall in height, they are precious in his sight, Jesus loves the people of the world.

Samaritan's Purse (headed by Franklin Graham, Billy Graham's son) is a good choice. They've made a rapid response to the devastation in Haiti.

Praying, Miss Elly.

I'd say the bottom line is this . . . only spend what you can afford to spend. The wedding ceremony is approximately 30 minutes . . . no use going in debt for years for that half hour, even if it is special.

I was probably about 5 or 6 when I saw my mother sneaking unwrapped presents into the bedroom. Then those same presents showed up under the tree with Santa's name on them. Hmmm. I remember feeling disappointed. With my own son, he can spot Santa in a lineup, but we've never emphasized him as being the gift giver. All his presents come from us, family, friends on the gift tag. I never wanted my son to wonder if, like Santa, Jesus was a myth as well.

My vote: Don't date a non-believer. Be a witnessing friend instead.

I guess this captures what I'm looking for too. As for the hair...well Blessings...South Awww, don't worry about the hair, South. Hair is actually very overrated. Anyway, just remember . . . "hair" today, gone tomorrow.

Zoe, In my younger years, my standards were pretty low . . . my only requirement was that he say "I do." But now that I've got more sense, he must be a man of integrity that keeps his promises. He needs to be the spiritual head of the household. He should put God first . . . before me, our child and himself. It's icing on the cake if he laughs at my jokes, adores me, and has curly hair. And in God's mercy, although I followed my "I do" standards in choosing a spouse, my groom grew into all of the things I mentioned above. On a side note, Zoe. . . . if you're looking for a guy with a zany sense of humor and slightly warped, wyguy seems to fit the bill.

How about asking him via facebook what he thought of the youth rally . . . .

OK . . I amend my answer to "red eye" AND ugly zits. Wrinkles too Ok? I cannot BELIEVE I didn't think of that . . . amendment to the amendment . . . red eye, zits, wrinkles, ohhhhh, and also droopy turkey neck.

OK . . I amend my answer to "red eye" AND ugly zits.

Yeppers! It's best just to stick to getting the "red eye" out.

Prince Charles drinks tea and grows organic cucumbers. I think the opposition is going to be a bit stiffer than that Yes, BUT does he use milk and sugar, or does he just drink it straight up. THAT will be the indicator!
