Talking with my mother long distance became a real chore for me because of her mental instability and increasing senility. She heard voices through walls, believed someone was living in the attic, saw things as real that were just fantasy, accused me of all kind of things, etc. During our last...

Well to begin with, my wife has been sick for some time with an undiagnosed disease of some sort. It's not depression and it's not psychosomatic. The latest tests she's had raise the posibility she may have MS. At this time, we just don't know. The IRS is hounding us for money they say we...

I remember my first communion. Before my first communion, I had my first confession. Since I had nothing to confess, I was instructed by a nun to just make something up. So my first confession was based on a lie. So it goes. One of my earliest memories of my father was sitting next to him in...

As I've mentioned, I was sick (bedridden) almost every winter. I remember my mother asking my pediatrician, in front of me, how my various sicknesses would effect my longevity. My pediatrician pulled the cigar out of his mouth long enough to say "he'll live just about as long as anybody else...

I just started reading Lone Survivor by Marcus Luttrell and could not get through the prologue without my eyes watering. I think I will just read that at home. So anybody reading something interesting or informative? I have several "religious" books to read, but don't know which one I'll...

R. C. Sproul - Election zArjHbikAHU

Strange Fire By Kenneth Way What was the sin of Nadab and Abihu? The text of Leviticus 10:1-7 is ultimately unclear about this. One Pentateuch scholar aptly calls this an instance of “intentional ambiguity” on the part of the storyteller/author (see Schnittjer, 99, 324, 413-414). So perhaps...

It seems some Christians and Roman Catholiics have trouble with this concept. I've read an number of books by John Piper, John MacArthur and R. C. Sproul, but I don't believe I've heard it explained any better than this series. Listen, enjoy and learn. ZCv3_Uo-hiU h9D9iOKWH74 u6GpnyKUS1w

Most of you all know I was brought up in the Roman Catholic faith. One of my earliest memories is kneeling in my parents living room and praying one of several litanies for my father who spent years in and out of the hospital from a broken leg suffered at work. His first doctor suffered a...

I quit my job over a disagreement with the plant manager. About three weeks later, I was offered a position in my old home town working for a company at about 30% increase in salary. This would allow my girlfriend (soon to be my wife) and I to get married. My parents offered to let us stay in my...

Not having the draft and Viet Nam hanging over me, I started planning my future work career. I interviewed with a lot of companies, some were polite refusals, some were more abrupt. I refused to consider Sales Engineering which is where someone with my GPA would normally end up. I was one...

A few weeks ago, I tried to find out what happened to my high school / college girlfriend / fiancée mentioned above. She threatened my life a few times, tried to commit suicide, spent a little time in a psych ward (this is all while we were together), possibly stalked my parents (after I...

Then a marvelous thing happened. My head broke the surface of the river and I crawled to shore where I coughed-up the river water I took in. At that moment on shore, I knew God had saved me, but why? For what purpose? I didn't know. Unbeknown to me, my girlfriend had gotten tangled up in a dead...

Sometime around age 18, I started to lose my religion (Roman Catholic). By age 20, it was nowhere to be found. During summer break from college, my girlfriend (actually fiancée) and I decided to go on a picnic. It was the middle of the week so the state park we chose was nearly deserted. There...

I am a Fundamentalist Christian, non-Denominational, and theologically essentially a Calvinist. I am happily married and politically conservative. We have no children but three dogs. More will come out as I reply or start posts.
