....such poems and stories have been written about the stars in the sky. Some people have wished to even go to the moon. I can't say I have ever wanted to visit any moon or planet, more like I will stay here on earth and admire the sky from a far, alot of beauty up there.

this is good to know, thank you for the information you have given. I sometimes have trouble understanding the bible so I would use the message bible to translate it in a easier way of understanding it. And would always revert back to the KJ version just to help me to see what a certain scripture was meaning. For instance the verse Isaiah 43:5 KJV "fear not: for I am with thee. I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west". I am confused with this so I would go to the Message bible and it reads... Isaiah 43:5 "so dont be afraid for I am with you, I'll round up all your scattered children, pull them from the east and the west. I'll send orders north and south: send them back. Return my sons from distant lands, my daughters from far away places. I want them back, every last one who bears my name, every man, woman, and child. Whom I created for my glory. yes, personally formed and made each one." So, My understanding of it was ...God will gather His people, and we are precious to Him, and a promise that God will help us through all our trials and tribulations because we belong to Him. He loves us. blessings~ desi

yes, and to keep us humble, every time we look up to the stars. It gives me a sense of i am nothing without God in this universe.

When Jesus shed His blood on the cross, he did away with the old covenant requirements for the continual sacrifices of animals. I highly recommend the book by Charles R Swindoll. Jesus: The Greatest Life of All. -- The author introduces you to the carpenter from Nazareth. Through biblical and historian insights on a journey of Jesus Birth, teaching, healing, death and resurrection. I love his books, well written and easy to read.

that was one of those moments you know? a life changing moment.

i think Respect is a big one. When one is texting or watching tv when your mate is trying to talk.

The Message Bible is a good book. And the Biblegateway is a really good tool to use with the bible online.

it does open my eyes more, to see the world defined in such negative energy.

I think the purpose of the Church is to be the believer's spiritual family. It is through the church that God takes people with different personalities, and gifts, unifies them as a single body, and equips them to care for each other and to reach out to the world. We are just not meant to live out a christian life alone. It's together we find our own purpose in life.

Getting your drivers license would be an "earthly achievement" then, too. Not All Drivers Are Mentally Sharp Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. Ephesians 2:2-3 (KJV) Not All University Graduates Are Spiritually Alive But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: Ephesians 2:4-6 (KJV) ~ Look Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ. Colossians 3:23-24 (ESV) First To The Creator Of Your Mind Worthy are you, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they existed and were created. Revelation 4:11 (ESV) And Give Glory Where Glory Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night. Psalms 1:1-2 (ESV) Is Due And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. Colossians 3:17 (ESV)

I think a college degree isnt considered earthly by any means. When learning and growing is a benefit as well as communication with computers are something God sees in helping us with our minds, and to help others, its a wonderful thing.

No matter how difficult it is, how tough it is, and how discouraging it is, and all the reasons for walking away. Remember there is a God and He will take you through...there is a answer and a solution in what God wants here. Pray and keep a submissive spirit.

I agree. I can see that happening. It short circuits a life.

praying for their families.

as of right now, I will be celebrating it with family.

That is amazing for her but I just can't even imagine even getting pregnant at 60 yrs old.... let alone raising the twins.

...interesting.

I am thankful for NeedYouLord, i admire her strong faith. Her words are truly heartfelt and a blessing to read.

have never heard of it before....

glorify God in everything we say, think, and do.... always dangers and difficulties ahead but as a christian with right focus on God's will and not my own to press onward and upward.

thankful for friends that turned into family, and nights that turn into mornings with a great cup of coffee.

yes brings back memories on some of those toys. Some toys i had, like the game boards but only wished for the others, my family was poor with all of us 6 kids but received alot of hand me down clothes from cousins which wasnt a bad thing. I cherish alot of memories back then.

very good topic, I had loved ones as well that died prematurely, and I found myself wondering about things too. As a believer our spiritual growth is so important and finding that balance in life is the key. Life is so hard.

There is a nugget of truth in every criticism.
