    Hello from a long lost member

    I'm not really new to RF, as I joined in 2004, but it's been almost two years since I last logged onto to this forum, so I thought I would pop in again and say hi. Life has been pretty crazy for me over the last few years, so I kind of withdrew for a while to deal with stuff. Anyway, hopefully...

    Feeling violated

    I had a lovely surprise awaiting me yesterday when I walked back to my car after getting off work. Somebody had broken into my car. :verymad: They stole my MP3 player, CD player, a little Bible (of all things!!), makeup, and other personal items. I'm so mad. I feel violated. I've had things...

    Taking time to smell the roses.....

    I’m not sure how to put into words what I’m feeling right now, and no one even has to respond, but I’ll give it my best shot…..I just feel I have to share an epiphany of sorts that I had this evening. I live out in the country, on a beautiful, private, wooded lot, in a beautiful log home. I...

    Help, I'm burning up...

    I need some advice. I have been living with my oldest brother for the last few years, in a nice big house w/ cheap rent, and I haven't had any major complaints.....until recently. Because recently he got married, and I now have a new sister-in-law living in the house as well. Don't get me...

    Does age matter?

    How much does age really matter in relationships? I'm referring to relationships of the romantic variety, betwixt adults. Obviously, age does matter below a certain age----but as long as one is over a certain age and legally an adult, does it matter? I ask, because I seem to have the problem...

    I don't want to go blind....

    I have been having vision problems lately that are totally freaking me out. Last night, after reading in my bed for a while, I turned off the lamp next to my bed, and suddenly, right after I turned off the light and the room darkened, my left eye lost almost all vison, except for very faint...

    Some pics....

    Not sure if anyone's interested, but I thought I'd share some photos from my time in Nicaragua a couple weeks ago. I was there for a few days for my oldest brother's wedding. He works with some orphanages in Managua, and I also got to visit one of them while there. The kids were so precious...

    Leavin' on a jet plane!

    I'm so excited. I haven't been out of the country for over a year, and my wanderlust has been driving me insane----but finally I get to go somewhere. :D This Thursday I'm jetting down to Nicaragua. Eeeee! Only for a few days, but, hey, it's better than nothing. My oldest brother is getting...

    Gettin' "heated" over hell

    So I've been thinking, and I need some folks' input. I, like most Bible-believing Christians, believe there is a hell. And I believe whoever doesn't put their faith in Jesus Christ is going there when they die. A fact I don't like anymore than anyone else, but one I can't get around, because...

    Birds

    I saw the creepiest thing today, that made me think I was in one of Alfred Hitchcock's classic movies. A huge swarm of blackbirds, thousands upon thousands and resembling a large black cloud, descended upon our yard this morning. I have never in my life seen anything like it. It was simply...

    Just popping in to say hi....

    I've been on an unannounced "RF sabbatical" for the last couple months, but just thought I'd pop back in for a wee bit to let everyone (who knows who I am) know that I am alive and well. For anyone who doesn't know, the last six months have been pretty difficult for me. I was dealing with...

    The language of God

    I'm sure I'm probably way behind most intelligent folks here on RF, but I just read the book The Language of God, by Francis Collins, a brilliant Christian scientist who worked on the Human Genome project. I found the book absolutely fascinating, and it opened my eyes to my own ignorance in...

    An apology

    I've really felt convicted lately about my un-Christlike attitude on some threads recently, so I just wanted to apologize to anyone that might have been on the receiving end of what I can only refer to as my "religious zeal." Despite my firm stance on many issues, and my unwavering adherence...

    Questions for Catholic & Orthodox Christians

    This is mainly directed at Orthodox and Catholic Christians, but whoever has any valuable insight please feel free to jump in. Some recent threads got me to thinking about why there is so much disagreement between most Protestant Christians and Orthodox and Catholic Christians. Catholics and...

    Are you an insecure girl?

    Soo....fess up.;) You Are Mostly Secure In general, you feel confident and together. But the wrong thing can happen, and all of a sudden, you're not feeling so secure. Luckily, your insecurities don't last long... at least, not usually. So the next time you're feeling insecure, try to snap...

    Archeaological evidence for the Bible

    Non-believers are always claiming that the Bible is full of myths, and there isn't enough historical/archeaological evidence to back it up, so I always enjoy reading about new discoveries that totally contradict such claims. Here is one I found...

    Adrenal fatigue? homeopathic MDs?

    Has anyone heard of adrenal fatigue? I have just discovered that this may be one of the root causes of all my health problems I've been having recently. A few months ago my health suddenly and quickly deteriorated. I was having near-fainting spells, severe headaches, vertigo, extreme fatigue...

    House churches?

    Maybe others have already heard of this guy, but I just discovered him. His name is Frank Viola, and he's a big supporter of the house church movement. Here's a link to an interview done with him a couple years ago, regarding his book Pagan Christianity...
