Figure of eighty

Its knowing what's wrong and doing it over and over and over again and not caring to do what's right.

This sums it up. Yes we fail and fall bur we shouls always strive to be what God set us out to be. Basically no willful sinning.

Well that's one bill you don't have to worry about.

Thanks. This was said perfectly to where it sinks in. Thanks.

I agree. Jesus defintely pointed out the truth and was probably came off harsh. I find some people use Jesus' harsh side as an exscuse to be mean and judgemental towards others. Jesus did it perfectly as he balanced his judgement with mercy and kindness. Where as some people just want an exscuse to throw stones.

I realize my actions and mistakes are the result of how I esteem myself. I just want to get to a place where Im ok with myself. I feel alright..I juat wish I was confident like most people. I keep thinking the more I do or acheive the bettwr Ill fewl about myself but now Im not to sure. After I graduated. I expected to feel amazing but I didn't I just felt the same... I just feel ill just be chasing acheivements in order to feel better about myself. Anywho, what are some practical ways to improve self esteem or instill self love?

Uhg . i really hate that happened to you. I hate when owners dont pay attention to their dogs and let them harass and bite anyone thats out. That's beyond negligent.

No not a pistol for a dog. A pistol for bigger threats...like in the event of a mugger or a suspicious persons

No. Im pregnant. 9 months. Im thinking about whats most important which is my baby.

Wow thats crazy :/ This world isnt perfect so i defintely want to carry something and protect myself and baby.

I can keep the small dogs under control. Its just they cane to us in bad shape. They arent socialized among a few other things. And yeah were planning on moving soon. As i left for an appointment today I saw another big dog roaming without a leash on. Idk whats wrong with the owners. Its not safe to have your dogs roam like that.

Are tazers legal?

Big dogs are great. Its just after dealing with these small dogs. I feel im not a dog person. I feel they take more work than babies. Maybe when my son gets older ill get a doberman or bullterrier.

Where Im at Ive seen quite a few dogs roam unleashed and it baffles me how irresponsible owners can be. My brother told me a story/ pointer about how when he'd walk to work he'd encouter dogs coming up to him and barking that its best to not run. He'd just stare them down let them sniff and they'd eventually leave him alone. The whole ordeal yesterday made me realize that I need protection not just for myself but my baby too and not only from animals but people that intend to do harm. I hate being vulnerable. Idk i may need a small little pistol or something.

My mom took the dogs in not me. Even though we( my brothers and I take them out bc she works alot) So that would be her call. She loves the dogs so she won't give them up. I do agree with pepper spray, pepper spray and mace were my first thoughts.

I just got the scare of my life. I was walking my dogs. Theyre small and all of a sudden a unleashed big grey dog runs up and I was scared so i let go of them. I got the dogs not too long ago ..so they have issues like not being socialized and with limited funds I can only do so much. Everyrhing is fine now. The owner got his dog but it scared me at how defenseless I was. Im 39 wks pregnant. That dog could have ripped me to shreds as I can barely run. Theres alot of dogs that are unleashed that roam around here and it scares me but im tired of beinf scared. What are some ways i can protect myself not just against animals but people as well? What would have done in this situation? I hate that im so far along bc im so vulnerable. I wish my baby would come bc im too vulnerable rn and its annoying not beinf able to do anything.

Oh shooot!!!! Oh man im so sorry.

?

I agree with this. God knows all he knows who will come and who wont.

Same. I think this is common for a lot of people.

Lol thats certainly one way lol.

No anxiety isn't i just feel grateful to God for everything he's done.

So if the dog is in heat. She can't get pregnant? I googled and some people said they could. So idk... But im kind od like if abortion is wrong( unless life is being threatened) for us wouldnt it be for animals too. I think itd be easier to givd the puppies up for adoption id she is pregnant. And thanks for the first answer too. Very helpful.

through other people, circumstances happening back to back, spiritually and physically. many ways.

So I have a couple of questions Im just going to lump in this thread. First, church hopping. why is it bad-- is it a bad thing? I have a nice church that I love..but I want to volunteer however they have a set of classes you have to take and then you have to have a good attendance record all these things I get, I understand why they're doing it but if you miss too many volunteer days you have to take the classes over again and its very time consuming. I like the church because I defintely feel gods spirit and prescence BUT I want to volunteer but my life is a bit hectic so I know I wont be able to attend the classes.. However I found some other churches that offer different areas where i can just jump in and volunteer. Its not wrong if I use the first churhc as a home church and volunteer where I can? My second question may be a bit odd but it touches on abortion a little bit and whether God's laws apply to everyone. So, I have 2 dogs, one is a girl the other is a boy-- we got them maybe 3 weeks ago they were in bad condtion but are doing well now, they still need things like shots and stuff, but theyre being fed and cared for. They're appointment is sunday. Getting to the point, my girl dog is in heat and I told my mom we should see if she's pregnant and also what would we do if she is. She said hopefully they catch her early so they can pull whatever out.. I was a bit apalled when my mom said this bc, I personally don't think abortion is okay not just for us humans but animals as well However I know God holds us and animals to different standards. I told my mom if she is we can always give her puppies up for adoption. What do you think about this issue? well both
