I had a puppy w/ parvo once and I force fed her 7up, kyro syurp, and
pedialite mixture every 2 hours for days - she hated me - but she lived
and the vet did a double take when I brought her back in cause they
didn't think she would make it. However they say the food is causing
the liver to shut down and I'm not sure what all gets processed through
the liver - I'd definately ask a vet b4 proceeding cause I wouldn't want
to do anything that would cause any more damage to the liver.

LOLOL - Oh, don't get me started on other religions - I would probably
make many people mad.

Yes, I do. That's why I go to a non-denominational church that I agree
w/ their core values.

Don't know about the 1st religion question - but you comments envoke the
thought - ok in the begining there was God and all his angles - one
angle wanted to take over and that is how evil came about - so - I hate
to question what God does and doesn't know because He knows all - but it
does leave the mind wondering if God knew that would happen - or if
after that happened the predestination came about - because the whole
big picture is about good vs evil (Adam, Eve and the serpent) and in
Daniel and Revelation the false profit and antichrist try to rule the
world and are overthrown when Christ returns.

Hmmmm, I'm going to have to go back and read because if memory serves me
correctly up until a certain point in the Bible it's all about this is
what happened and how it happened and then it moves to prophecy about
the future (of course gives series of events but has major prophecy).
Which could possibly lead a person to think that these were the series
of events that lead up to the point where things after that point were
all predestined - PLEASE NOTE- this is just me thinking out loud and
typing my thoughts as they are occuring. There are mysteries in the
Bible and questions we will never know the answers to and I know and
accept that and this is one of them (although I completely believe the
Bible clearly shows and states pre-destiny) but it is certainly thought
provoking -

Wait a minute - is the concert in June something you want to take her to
or something she wants you to pay for????

Juju has a good question. When you accept a friend request, those
people show up as your friends and if she don't know you and you never
talked to her before and just sent a friend request - that could have
scared her away.

To me it means I'm a Christian, but not associated to or with the other
denominations listed (Catholic, Methodist, Prodistant, etc). If being
w/ some one that has the same beliefs as you is important, you are going
to have to explore further anyway. There are so many people out there
that are a certain denomination because their parents were and they were
raised that way but don't even know all the beliefs of that particular
denomination.

I tried using it to get those ugly black burnt looking spots off my
glass top stove and it didn't work so well. I read that it would clean
it somewhere.

The Word says the Spirit is good but the flesh is evil.

John 13:26 (Whole Chapter)
Jesus answered, "It is the one to whom I will give this piece of bread
when I have dipped it in the dish." Then, dipping the piece of bread, he
gave it to Judas Iscariot, son of Simon.

Jesus knew he would be betrayed and who would betray him - so Judas was
predestined to betray Jesus - correct or not?

By the way the Bible is full of other scriptures in OT and NT that back
up predestination as well as free will - we have free will to prolong or
put off - but eventually what is predestioned to happen, will happen -
we choose the path we take to get to that predestination.

Well, first I'd want to know why they turned you down. Were you looking
for something that they weren't looking for? How are you going about
presenting yourself to them would also be a question?

I would date someone w/ a disability as long as they had the other
character and personality traits that I want in a man.

I agree w/ all and make eye to eye contact when you are talking to her -
not breast to eye contact. And don't just talk about yourself - ask
something about her and then offer the same area about yourself - keep
the conversation going.

Bright - that's Awsome! I would be very impressed on that - but only if
I thought it was real and he wasn't faking it because he thought that's
what I expected.

Only if you let him.

DanActive daily - not just for immunity - but for regularity too.

Grieving, Just because someone goes to church don't mean much. My
former church's pastor cheated on his wife w/ a married woman he was
counseling. I agree w/ you that there are some lying, cheating, no good
for nothing people - men and women - but they aren't all like that.
Your church comment made me think of this song - so I included the words
- if you read it all - it so speaks the truth.

OUTLAW'S PRAYER

You know, I worked the Big Packet show in Fort Worth, Saturday night,
We had all day Sunday to rest and relax, before I caught another flight.
So I decided to walk down town an' get myself a little fresh air.
Before long, I found myself in front of a big church on the corner of
the square.

Boy, I could hear that singin' way out in the street, sure was a
beautiful sound.
So I just walked up the steps an' opened the door an' started to go
inside an' sit down.
But before I could, a young man walked over to me an said: "Excuse me,
Sir,
"But I can't let you in with that big black hat, those jeans, that beard
an' long hair.

So I just left, went back outside, sat down on that curbing, an I
thought to myself:
That's the house of the Lord. That guy's got the hell of a nerve.
Tellin' me I can't worship anywhere I please.
So right there, in front of that Church, I just knelt down on my knees.
I said: "Lord, I know I don't look like much, but I didn't think you'd
mind.
"I just wanted to be with your people, Lord: it's been a long time.
"A while ago, a saw a wino over there in the alley, all bent over in
tears,
"An' I thought how one stained glass window, from this Church, would
feed his family for years."

"Then there's those fine cars parked outside: too many for me to count.
"Made me think how people walked for days to hear your sermon on the
mount.
"Then there's those fine ladies in the choir, Lord, singin' like they
really love it.
"Hell, last night, they were dancin' on the front row of my show:
drinkin' beer,
screamin: 'Sing Shove It.'

"You know, even John the Baptist wouldn't be welcome in this place,
"With his coat made of Camel hair an' sandals on his feet an' a long
beard on his face.
"You know, Lord, when you come back to get your children, an' take 'em
beyond the clouds,
"To live forever in Heaven with you: well, I'd sure hate to be in this
crowd.
"You know, Lord, I'm not perfect;
some even call me no count.
"But I'll tell you: I believe a man is judged by what's in his heart,
not what's in his bank account.
"So if this is what religion is: a big car, a suit an' a tie,
"Then I might as well forget it Lord, 'cause I can't qualify.

"Oh, by the way, Lord, right before they kicked me out,
didn't I see a picture of you?
"With sandals an' a beard. Believe you had long hair too."
"Well, this is Paycheck, signing off.

This is why I go to a church where the pastor and his wife both wear
jeans, they don't shove a plate in your face, and the church use to be a
bar - a bar I went to and even left from and had my first one night
stand (not that I was planning on it being that). And one last thing,
thank you for calling me a lady - I do try to be a lady these days
(lol).

I never believed in predestiny before but a membership class talked
about it and proved it w/ the verses:

Ephesians 1:11 (Whole Chapter)
In him we were also chosen, [ Or were made heirs] having been
predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in
conformity with the purpose of his will,

Jeremiah 15:2 (Whole Chapter)
And if they ask you, 'Where shall we go?' tell them, 'This is what the
LORD says: " 'Those destined for death, to death; those for the sword,
to the sword; those for starvation, to starvation; those for captivity,
to captivity.

Romans 8:29
29For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the
likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.
30And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also
justified; those he justified, he also glorified.

Passage Ephesians 1:4-6:
4For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and
blameless in his sight. In love 5he[a] predestined us to be adopted as
his sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will—
6to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in
the One he loves.

Passage Ephesians 1:11-12:
11In him we were also chosen,[a] having been predestined according
to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the
purpose of his will, 12in order that we, who were the first to hope in
Christ, might be for the praise of his glory.

Passage 1 Peter 2:8:
8and, "A stone that causes men to stumble and a rock that makes
them fall."[a] They stumble because they disobey the message—which is
also what they were destined for.

- this one above shows He has a plan for us but He gives us Free Will to
choose to disobey and that is when we stumble (mess our lives up) so
puts things in our path to guide us back on the right track.

Below are verses showing that some people belong to satan (I couldn’t
believe it either but there it is in the Bible)

1 John 3:12 (Whole Chapter)
Do not be like Cain, who belonged to the evil one and murdered his
brother. And why did he murder him? Because his own actions were evil
and his brother's were righteous.

John 8:43-47
43Why is my language not clear to you? Because you are unable to hear
what I say. 44You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to
carry out your father's desire. He was a murderer from the beginning,
not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he
speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.
45Yet because I tell the truth, you do not believe me! 46Can any of you
prove me guilty of sin? If I am telling the truth, why don't you believe
me? 47He who belongs to God hears what God says. The reason you do not
hear is that you do not belong to God."

Hi Autumn, My ex has 5 kids he claims and has always wanted a girl and
he disclosed that there was an inappropriate relationship between his
dad (who's love he wants but dad loves the girls more) and one of his
sisters. He's an alcoholic and has porn issues and I found handcuffs
and porn stuff in his rig (trucker). He also commented one day that our
daughter had sexy lips. Our divorce decree says he can have her when we
mutually agree -which will be over my dead body. He has supervised
visitation ONLY. If you try to keep her from him, when she's at that
rebellious age she may try to run to him. I have never told my daughter
a bad thing about her dad. She's about to be 11 and she knows he's an
alcoholic, he does stupid stuff, and don't keep his word. She learned
that all on her own. So my suggestion would be to let her meet him -
Supervised ONLY - and if she wants to see him on a regular basis and he
don't show up - she will learn on her own too - It Sucks bad as a parent
to watch someone hurt you child like that emotionally and there's not a
damn thing you can do about it - but looking back - I hate to say it
because of the hurt it caused her but she did learn it on her own and he
can never say I tried to turn her against him or lied to her about him
and she knows it.

Ok Grieving, sounds like you've been done wrong - but let me tell you
not all women are like that and if all the ones you know are - then you
need to look in better places.

The things I must have are (sorry more than 3) honesty, monogamy,
respect, consideration, personality, communication, and humor. Looks
and money don't matter - but they can't be some bum looking for a woman
to support him.

I say just take it slow, show her respect and don't try to make any
moves on her. Be honest and let her know you like her and want to take
things slow and at her pace and you would like to know what her pace is
so that you don't cross any lines. She sounds like the type that would
respect that, but you know her better than I, it could blow up in your
face (I hope not though).

Hi Paul, Do you work here?
