Rahab - she was prostitute and liar - yet she is counted as faithful and in the lineage of Christ. What if she had held the edict of absolute truth? I believe God would have worked another way to protect the spies. Pretty much all the heroes of the Bible did things that God says aren’t right. They ...

Me, no doubt. My DW doesn’t do empathy well at all. Nor does she take on a nurse persona if I’m down (like now), but maybe she’s softening a little with age- she did make and bring me a cup of soup last night.

But doing so can absolutely mean the difference in ever, or never, having any hope for it in the future. I was ...

The very first thing I would and have told young couples is that your job is to prove and live the example that your kids are NOT the center of the universe. In practice, this means your spouse is top priority, they are second. ... I second this though I might go more positive in its expression. I ...

I am also very shy. My DH has no interest in speaking to him. Telling your 11 year old that you catch MB that it’s wrong but not wrong when I was one that walked in on him. To say embarrassing is a understatement. [emoji23] Read this statement and two thoughts came to mind. First, “telling him it’s...
