Friday's Faith

Enjoyed the analysis of the summit by MsNBC. I was pleased with the opportunity to watch Obama lead a meeting. I found his body language interesting. That plus the fact that the conservatives (and even worse) have all but ceded control of this board and are leaving in defeat makes this shape up to be a pretty good day. ...

There's a group of people. They elect a leader. The leader digs a hole 8 feet deep. He and all the people are in it and the walls are starting to crumble. The people elect another leader. The second leader makes the hole bigger by digging out the sides. Oh no, some people exclaim. The hole is getting bigger! But now we can climb out, says the leader. But the hole will still be there for our children, say the people.Not if we work to fill it back in, says the president. It is easier to fill ...

The Third Circuit Court of Appeals has delivered another blow to President Barack Obama, who has had an incredibly rough week due to a series of very serious scandals, by finding a recess appointment to the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) to be unconstitutional: The 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Thursday said an appointment President Barack Obama made to the National Labor Relations Board was invalid, becoming the second circuit to question the validity of the labor board&rs ...

Wednesday I got a call informing me that one of my great aunts passsed away. I read the obituary yesterday, which was Thursday. As I read the obit I saw visiting hours Thurs evening and funeral Friday. I just assumed the funeral was this Friday, seeing as though she passed 2 days prior. I get up this morning and get dressed up and head down the interstate - the funeral was held in a different town than I live in and is about an hour's drive. I find t ...

Hi, does anyone watch this show? There are some fabulous cartoons/comics that go along with it with terrific humour and animation. Just type on google/yahoo/whatever Grimmling Comics - it is such fun. Enjoy ...

Rush had 5 minutes of dead air during his first hour because of lack of advertisers due to massive pullout. I would say silence is the strongest argument against his claim that he has no trouble replacing the cancelled ads. ...

He used a pseudonym on her email server but told CBS that he found out about her server by "hearing it on the news." So this scandal goes all the way to the top, as I rather imagine others like Benghazi and Lerner (IRS) targeting conservative groups did as well (its simply ludicrous to believe that she did this on her own without the approval of, if not orders from, the Oval Office). There should be a virtual parade of federal officials and employees on their way to prison, but will that h ...

$59.1 billion dollars spent already, not including Cyber Monday. I myself don't partake in the craziness, but it is nice to see businesses profiting from the mania. ...

I am a 60-some-year-old woman who has no faith and no belief in God. I want to, I really do, but it's just not there. I went regularly to a Methodist church as a child, but not a particularly religious upbringing. I don't really remember what if any religious thoughts I had as a child. When I married, I converted to Catholicism simply because my husband was Catholic, though really in name only. We raised our two daughters as Catholic and they went to Catholic school and we att ...

I hope this will not be long. I just feel lost in my faith. I grew up in a home where we gave thanks to the Lord, we were not getting on our knees every hour saying praise the Lord :-), but we said prayers at dinner, church and sunday school every week from time I could walk til graduation in high school. Grandma was a sunday school teacher at an episcopalean church and played the organ/piano there, we went to Sunday church dinners and stuff like that. Then around grade 5 ...

I was leaving for work this morning (it was mid-morning, I was goingin late as I had to wait for the gas company to come) and I saw 4 well-dressed people exit a car. I immediately guessed correctly what they were doing, they were going to go to knock on doors to share their sects magazines. They stopped me as I was walking through the parking lot and were very friendly, so I was friendly back to them. I went ahead and took their papers and didn't bother to say anything about not b ...

I got divorced 4 years ago. He has been nothing but a class A total jerk. He has since gotten remarried and she has caused trouble also. She is psycho to say the least. He has become crazy, as well. I divorced him because he had posted pornographic pics of himself on the internet and I found them. He took them when the kids were home and could have seen the pics or gotten up in the middle of the night and seen him being perverted. I got the kids in couns ...

What do you think when someone that's going through something horrible says 'God is testing me, my faith'? It's one of the many reasons I doubt there's a God....if there were, and one is a believer, why should they be tested? Sounds like torment to me, and why would someone that loves his children torment them in such a way? Would God (if there is a God) be so insecure that he'd need constant proof of one's faith? I thought God knows everything? So wouldn ...

So many bad things are happening in my life right now including losing my home to foreclosure because of cuts in pay most MTs have experienced. I feel helpless and hopeless. I thought God would take care of his faithful children. Ask and you shall receive. Jesus came to earth so I might have a more abundant life. So many people hurting I would like to help but I am unable to financially. Just keeping my head barely above water and for the first time in my lif ...

Without going into all the devastating facts of what Nuance is doing to its domestic workforce, suffice it to say that I am a victim of the latest pay downgrade and am losing faith that something better will come my way. I am not looking to discuss ways to find another job (at this point). I am looking for ways to improve, increase and strengthen my faith in the Lord. I am a believer, but I am just struggling right now. Thank you. P.S. If you are atheist or have something negative to ...

I hear so often we should follow what God tells us to do in our daily life. How do we know what is right when we are faced with very hard circumstances? We are told that if we listen to what God says we will make the right choices. If we pray for guidance, how do we know what to do? ...

Galatians 5:22-23 "But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things!" 1 Timothy 6:10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. MM has hurt a lot of people for a long time, the treatment is wrong, the pay is a disg ...

I am always encouraged by stories of answered prayer, so I want to share one so others can be encouraged, too. A couple of weeks ago, I stopped at the supermarket on my way home from walking the dog in the park. When I came out of the store, my car would not start. Of course, this was one of the few days my husband was able to get work and he was at least an hour away. When I tried to call him, I got an automated message that I did not have enough minutes on my prepaid phone t ...

I haven't been to this board in a long while. This is not of high importance, but it bothers me (feeling less than loved) and I'd like to know if that is understandable or if my feelings are wrong. My son-in-law was in construction not long ago (changed occupation). Was told by my daughter he didn't have time to help with installing cabinents for us. So, okay, I accepted that, and have been struggling to find an affordable option instead. Now I learn that ...

"...the ability to act on their core beliefs. that is what faith is about. The best of our faith...all faiths... is when people act on their core beliefs..or to do whatever they think is right based on their faith." This is problematic. Hitler? I'm sure J. Bush means well. He just doesn't see this is problematic. Hitler (I hope) is extreme, but anyone, anywhere can call up faith and belief as their justification for their actions. I suspect ...

Naghmeh Abedini came to my church on Monday night for a prayer service for her husband and other persecuted Christians around the world. Her husband, Saeed Abedini, who is an American pastor, has been imprisoned in Iran on some trumped-up charges, but he really has been locked up for his Christian faith. He has been there for just over 3 years now. However, it is doubtful the Iranian government has any intention of letting him leave once his 8-year sentence is up because they h ...
