First of all I am so sorry you and your daughter had to deal with such an outburst of hatred. Second, I'd like to say that this is no way unforgiveable. In fact, you might be able to be closer because of it. Sound crazy?? yeah it does. Before anything can be resolved your husband has to realize he is the LEADER of HIS family. After God comes ...

I am sorry you are going through this trial, but I want you to remember trials are really opportunies also. Opportunies to strengthen you marraige. It seems like your wife is going through some sort of mid life crisis brought on by the death and illness of her parents. Not that telling her that will help.... that will seem like more of an effort ...

You spoke of you relationship...... is it a marriage? Or something else? Sorry I am confused.

The fact that your exboyfriend is living with a woman while ''courting'' you (not showing much respect for her or marriage) should let you know his character. If you continue to ''dance with the devil'' he will eventually find you at a weak moment and you will do things you never thought you could. And lose more than you ever ...

I can do all things through Him who strengthens me. Nothing worthwhile is easy.  That's why we pray for strength and mercy and grace and guidance.

Hey Tim,  I don't need details..... but I would like to know if you are doing okay. Cindy

spareparts, I'm sorry if no one responded to your post of the same topic. These forums are very hot and cold. Sometimes other topics are getting the attention, and some times none of the topic are getting any attention. I have seen this topic discussed serveral times before and you are right many people use ''happiness'' as an excuse for ...

You will be missed greatly.

c.pruitt, I wasn't talking about bringing the TEACHING of the Bible back in public schools. Or having a teacher led prayer in the classroom. I was addressing how some individuals have been treated when they prayed or read their own Bible during their break. Not the same subject at all. I am in close to 100 schools every year and there are alot

Hot Ice, I plan to STAND firm. Not with hate or ''in your face'' but with love and all the faith that I will prevail. I will just claim my rights as a christian to observe my God in the manner I chose. And pray for those that don't understand why I do what I do.  We will see what the future brings.

A friend of mine works in the transportation office of our school district. She was on break, in an empty conference room, praying out loud. Not screaming or yelling..... just praying. Later, she was called into her bosses office and written up for ''praying in place where a parent might have come in and heard her''.  Some of her ...

I missed this post when it was first written. My husband''s workplace is a mess. Only the ones that will lie, steal, and bear false witness for the Director are promoted, get overtime, or have any job security. Rediculous! And I'm sure you know which side my Husband falls on.... He wouldn't give a false statement about an incident ...

Many, many prayer for you and your family. I am sorry I didn't respond about your trip to San Antonio..... I missed the post until today. We would love to meet you and your family. We live outside of Houston, a few hours down I-10. As far as how we are doing.... hmmm. It is strange. WE are doing fine. More than fine, awesome. But it has been a ...

Librarymom, You are in my prayers.  Our marriage reached a crisis during our 28th year. It is rough at any time, but after so much time and memories together, I think some times it is harder to deal with. A side note, we made it through and are much stronger. Stronger in our faith and in each other. 

I think it means more of a calm still. As stay calm in the middle of the storm.  I don't know what you are going through(don't need to) but I do know God is there with you. He knows tomorrow, trust Him.
