First, I'd stop referring to this as an addiction. How long has this been going on? What all have you tried to not do this? Does it occur other times when you are not at work? What is your spiritual life like?

PM sent Chaz I'll say something to my son about Foursquare. We're getting most of the nuts off 4 trees. We have 10 total. The wood is quite pricey. We sold several a few years back and I was just amazed at what the guy offered us for them. Actually we still have a few stacks of 'tops' laying around waiting for the wood stove.

Hey Guys! It's been a few weeks since I've been around so I've lost track with some of you and what's going on with your lives. So I thought why not try starting a thread where we can post little updates on our lives. I saw Chaz is back! That's really cool. Wish I had DIC's email addy, I'm taking a small group of ladies down to southern WV ...

Personally I tend to think a lot of women want to marry a woman who looks like a man on the outside and a lot of men want to marry a man who looks like a woman.... and neither really works out well.

If we give God 100% of our lives... what's left over?

We have a big ole fat wood stove downstairs that we've used over the years.  Not so much lately cause my health makes it tougher to get up and down the stairs.  We always keep a couple cords of wood on hand tho just in case the electricty goes out.  Our main heat is a electric forced air furnace and heat pump.  Unless it gets ...

I just bought 5 gallons of paint and am proceeding to clean out the garage so I can paint all the walls and ceiling.  And I'd like to get as many of the outside door frames painted as I can with that much paint.  I'd also like to fix the overhead garage door openers and install 4-5 more florescent lights on the ceiling.  I'm hoping ...

I'm not posting much simply because if I say what I really think... will I get banned because it's not popular?

Hi another name,   I thought I had responded to your original post, but alas there's nothing here so for whatever reason my first reply never got posted.   The thing that jumped out at me is the pastors response of asking about women who gave it away so freely.  Personally I would never ever allow anyone to speak about my wife is

Calvin&Hobbs(aka HPK) made a poorly worded statement that was pretty offensive on the face of it.  Chaz attempted to explain, but got caught up in it a little to much I'm afraid.  Someone got terribly offended and notified the moderators who I believe banned Chaz and HPK.  DIC didn't really have much to say about the whole ...

DelDude: Thanks again 1hart. The rest of you - good imaginations.  Have shame.   Christ took away all my shame.  I don't think I'm gonna allow some nutless Pharisee try and force me to carry that stuff around again.  Thanks, but no thanks.

dallasapple: Boat Man...   I also dispute that he has been rejected.It quite frankly feels like its the other way around. Love Dallas   Yeah, my first thought was to tell him to grow a set for the love of Pete!   But I'm thinking that if he considers this rejection then he's probably rejected a LOT in life.  ...

DelDude: There is Jesus example of dealing with the Pharisees.  However within a family, this tends to cause more division, which is theologically okay, but not necessarily psychologically positive, nor healthy for the family.   So you are more interested in family than Christ.  Family first and then Jesus takes a back seat ...

DelDude,   Welcome to the FamilyLife message board.  I hope you will hang around, provide us a little introduction about yourself and become part of our lil internet family.   Just on the odd chance that you aren't aware, we often have people who post questions such as yours, but only give us one side of the story.  So ...
