First off, I know I am a hypocrite in this and thus trying to work on it, but I am really really broken hearted at how EVERY girlfriend I have is so hard on herself ( Read more... )

I have been running away lately. You know, like we all do at some point. We know God wants more from us and gosh darn it, we're comfortable - so go away.

Whoohoo! So, I was supposed to be at band practice tonight, but about 40 minutes before it started I lost my vision and speech and went into a full blown migraine.

I really only got a lj account to read posts of dteam people because otherwise I was finding myself completely out of the loop on most everything. But now that ( Read more... )

Hi All -- for those of you who know Claire, she went to the hospital today. Without going into a lot of detail (you can ask her - I don't know what all she wants shared), she was really really sick. She had a CAT scan, blood work, and a couple other tests done. They appear to have come back fine, but they said she was very dehydrated and gave ( Read more... )

Ok, so here is a question for ya'll.... what do you do about saying grace when invited over for dinner to an unbeliever's/unbelieving couple's house? What if they know you are Christians? What if they look down on Christianity as narrow-minded and hypocritical? What if they are family in some way ( Read more... )
