I'm a day early but not sure whether I'll be around tomorrow....
For the Americans on the forum....when was the last time you read the "Declaration of Independence"?
If you haven't in awhile, do yourself a favor and refresh your memory. How many other countries start their new country with...
Our yard is home to (and I'm not even joking or exaggerating) 8-12 groundhogs. Groundhogs who have dug enough holes in the property around our home that I feel like I'm living in the middle of a field full of land mines. One misstep and there's the potential for a broken leg or ankle. They've...
I started to put this as part of a response in another thread, but decided it might seriously off track that thread. I look forward to responses, particularly from educated muslim women or western women who converted.
I see Islam as a religion for men. I see nothing in the religion that...
I've noticed lately...or perhaps I've noticed it intermittently and that's why I disappear from the forum for months at a time....that christians seem to be a definite target on RF. When a question about faith comes up, where we are specifically asked why we believe something, many of us do our...
I think sometimes we tend to focus on what is going wrong in our lives and forget that there are also some pretty wonderful things happening at the same time. So, what are you thankful for? I hope this is the right venue for this....
For some reason lately, I have been running across so many...
Ok guys....today I am officially 50 years young and was doing well until my 14 year old informed me that I can now join AARP. The midget will pay. :jester5:
I wish I could share my traditional birthday cake (strawberry shortcake) with you all! Thanks for being there to help keep my brain...
Please note....this is not a debate about homosexuality, abortion, etc. It is about how Christians merge the secular world with their spiritual world and not about whether it is right, wrong, fair or unfair to a specific group of people.
For awhile now I have been pondering over my...
I swear I think the local wildlife has put up signs around my house saying, "maternity ward here". Along with the raccoons, we also have a family of 4 little baby groundhogs living near our deck. I shudder to think what they're doing around the foundation of my house.
Sucker that I am, I...
Well I'm sort of bummed out tonight. Two baby raccoons have wandered into our basement window wells and we don't know whether they climbed in out of curiosity and then the mom couldn't get them out and she abandoned them or whether they climbed in for shelter and can get out but mom's gone so...
I heard this song the other day and it made such an impact on me...because I've been guilty at looking at someone, thinking strange, chuckling under my breath and walking away. I never made fun of them, never treated them disrespectfully, but.....
Perhaps that's why this song hit me so hard...
At the risk of being labeled a racist.....
How do you define "discrimination" and "racism".
While watching tv the other night, I saw an ad for the United Negro College Fund....yet I know if we started an organization called the United Caucasian College Fund, we would be labeled racist and...
Arghhh....I've sent two posts off into cyberspace so here's hoping the 3rd time is the charm.
I am going to be taking a "sabbatical" (thank you, Feathers, for the word) from RF for a bit due to way too many things placing way too much stress on me. I know that with more time spent on prayer...
It's not the City of New Orleans, the State of Louisiana or George Bush. The blame for this catastrophe belongs to...<drum roll>.....the French!
After all, they built it on the delta (while the native americans were probably laughing theirselves sick at the stupid white man) way back when...
Our local news cast showed a clip of a Michigan judge speaking in the most disrespectful tone of voice to a defendant. This isn't the first time I've heard judges and other law enforcement officials speaking disrespectfully to people. I've heard police officers using some of the most foul...
I'm sitting here watching the 11:00 news and one of the stories was of a Michigan man who returned from serving in Iraq for the last two years and applied for admission as an in-state resident at one of the universities. Unfortunately for him, university officials decided that instead of paying...
