Praying for God to comfort your heart.

You have to watch Math Class! It's one of the best. 😀

Continuing to pray here. So sorry.

Well, I don't know if you would think the colors are pretty, but I have an actual Lifeproof case. I love it because I am very klutzy. My 5 yr old always says, "That's okay! It's Lifeproof."

I was thinking about posting something similar about my son. He grew up doing chores and having to earn money for extras. We have tried to bless him with gifts and surprises, but nothing anyone would think was overboard. I guess it is normal for some kids to be this way, but I just don't think like he does, always trying to avoid paying for anything he can and avoiding work. I try to remember that my husband was rather spoiled with few chores and plenty of money handed to him, but is now a wonderful, giving husband. I heard SWB speak this weekend about the "odd one out" teen and I really think that applies to any child that thinks in radically different way than we do. My biggest take away was that these kids just need more time to get to the point of maturity. We expect them to absorb our values by a certain age, but some simply don't. They need our love and patience more than anything. And that isn't easy when an adult sized person is expecting others to serve him as if he is 12.

Large capacity Kenmore that can't dry a large load in one cycle. 😡

Just for future reference, he might like one off those archeology kits that have an object buried inside a block of plaster of Paris. You have to work hard to break apart the block and that might keep him occupied for a while.

Well,first, I believe in creation by God. That is not controversial to some. However, even though I believe in creation, I think the Creation Museum and the Ark building venture are a colossal waste of money. I do not see the point in the museum since creation is all around us.

If you decide to replace them, look into doing it yourself. You can save thousands and get a higher quality window. I thought it was crazy to do it ourselves, but my husband made it look like it was no big deal. The home improvement stores probably have classes for it and you tube has saved us on other repair work. Good luck!

Praying!

In your post above you seem to doubt that these situations exist. My daughter and I both experienced similar situations in classes we took at a the same large state university. We took those classes about 20 years apart. My daughter's professor was especially snide and dismissive of Christian beliefs.

I forgot. Once my friend asked why our house never smelled "doggy". I think it was because we vacuumed every day and rarely washed him. Labs have a water resistant coat that has oil to repel water. They need to be brushed to be cleaned. When we did give him a bath he stunk like crazy. We are fortunate because he never rolled in anything like some do.

I don't have time to read everyone's responses, but will give you my experience. I agree labs are puppies for a long time and require consistency. However, they are,very loving and loyal. My older kids lost interest in our lab in his last few years and he continued to love them anyway. He had his problems, mostly due to poor breeding, but I miss him a bunch. I do have a pic of him tearing up a stuffed animal last summer; he was 12. BUT he had permission to play with it and would not have done so otherwise. He liked to sleep with stuffies as well.

We are going tomorrow as well. I'm hoping the acting is good and the debates are logical. Too much to ask? 😀

Prayed for her. So hard at that age.

Praying for you all.

Prayed, Rose!

Prayed for your family. You must be so overwhelmed. Try to rest as you can.

The article stated that she was separated from her class and reproached about the content of her presentation.

It doesn't matter one bit if the scripture she used was Offensive. Isn't that what free speech is about? If people are not allowed to voice their unpopular opinions in public places our country really will have lost a vital freedom. The issue isn't offense, it is endorsement by the state. The teacher could have politely explained that she appreciated the child's presentation of what Christmas meant to her and then mentioned that all religious view of the holiday break were welcome. Also, in our Christmas celebration we talk about how Jesus was born to die. That verse covers his birth (he sent) and salvation (through his death). If "he sent" doesn't refer to Christmas, what does it refer to?

Yep, praying!

Praying here.

Praying here.

I'm very sad you had to witness that and so sorry you lost your dog.

Um, no? But I would so do that. And at 2 am I would be stressed out and packing!
