No headache. I was just overtired. My dd took skating lessons for two years. She knows all her basic skills and a few half-rotation jumps. We loved it, but it was very demanding and expensive.

But you are just "going skating" in the recreational sense, aren't you? I should take my kids again soon they like it.

So, today's question...

If God is not willing that any should perish, and it is by God's sovreignty that we are saved (no free will on our part), then why isn't everybody saved?

No hurry, Sunshine. We are all busy. {{HUGS}}

Nobody drove me to anything. I am a big girl.

ITA about no *man*. ;)

Oh! Thank you so much! I needed my Green Square fix for the day. I'll even let you be my friend now ;)

Okay...

You are agreeing with me while I am disagreeing with you...

I am so confused!!!

:confused::tongue_smilie::D

OMGoodness, You're killing me!! How do you come up with this stuff??

OMGoodness, I am in TEARS!! Well done, Remundamom :lol:

Pastrami in a pineapple! You're killing me!! :lol:

Patty, why can't you drink until February 1?

Pretty eyes, my dear :-)

So get out there and start making friends, Woman!

So is that the back of your head in your avatar? Why are you teasing us by not showing your face??

So what do you think is going to happen?

So, my Favorite History Buff, do you have any statistics on how many Presidents stumbled over the oath?? :sneaky2::Angel_anim:

(I know it wouldn't include George Washington 'cause he didn't take one. ;))

Soph, I am so glad you are a part of this forum. :grouphug:

Stacia, I am trying to read your avatar, but I am too blind. What does it say?

Sunshine, life has become very busy for me, and I only check in from time to time. I don't know when or why I stopped being your friend. It wasn't intentional. I just sent you a request - would you be my friend again??? :-P

Tea? I have tea, also (the real kind). I have Chai, Roobios, English Afternoon tea and an orange spice. I also have hot chocolate, and a stash of leftover Christmas cookies that the kids haven't found yet...

Thank you for explaining The Dark Side. I really appreciate your input. I do agree with it, mostly. I definitely think our salvation has more to do with Him than us, but He did give us free will, which means that technically we can resist. I also take great comfort in the fact that I can not lose my salvation. I think the area where I have the biggest problem is the concept of "limited atonement".

Thank you for your observation, Zarga! The insanity has to stop sometime. It seems that nobody is mature enough to take that first step.

Thank you, Deb! I intend to post more pix of the kids, but the server was overloaded when I tried a few days ago. Maybe today I will get to it...

That was a very gracious response. :001_smile:

How have you been?

That was a very thoughtful and articulate post about the problems with self-identification. Well done!

That's even better, Doran. Honestly, my favorite part of the rep system wasn't the points or the green squares but the lovely comments I recieved :001_smile:

That's it! I am going to sue...
