Since you brought that up, any good advice on getting my husband to go to Church with me? Do I have to go alone? It’s only the 3rd commandment, but I have hollered at him to go with me and it hasn’t worked. BTW, we never argue over anything else. I realize you are not Dear Abby...
“Ever’body’s gotta die of sumpin’...”
Oh, me either. Do what’s appropriate in the moment. ; )
And funny too! Keep on a fussin' with things, Froufrou. LOL
If I break a fingernail, I won’t be back for awhile...
I’m giving the impression I’m like the ex-girlfriend in You’ve Got Mail...the one how whines, “Where are my tic-tacs?” and when Tom Hanks looks at her she yells, “What?!”
I’m really not that bad...yet...
In San Francisco,they can dance around naked,masturbate,play house while on birth control pills and THEN go to the city owned heroin shooting gallery to calm down after all that action!
If I send you some kevlar yarn would you knit me a bullet proof sweater? ;^)
I’d have to learn how to knit first!
But I’m a true pioneer woman, down to my good teeth, which are currently in braces which has lead to my leaner, svelter, meaner, catlike quality...[/b.s.]
Oops. I’m confusing you with another self-reliant FReeper woman whose profile I viewed yesterday. I don’t remember who that was now. So many dainty women with Glocks here I can’t keep them straight. lol
OMG! Do you know the story of me and the Glock, from last April???!!! Scared crap outa me!!!
But, after an expert came over and talked me outa the tree, I learned to shoot a .22!
Sounds like they are bringing the crazy big time!

See #1174. We had a fishfry after the shoot. The next one is in May in Aransas Pass! You want pinged?
Number one, keep going yourself. Let him know you would like him to go with you, but that’s it. Tell him once or twice and let it sink in. Don’t remind him every Saturday that the big day is coming. You’ll just solidify his decision not to attend.
Don’t think for a minute he doesn’t appreciate God. I don’t know your husband, but I know myself. I haven’t attended regularly (or just about at all) for twenty years. That doesn’t mean that I don’t appreciate all that God has done for us, and provided for us.
He may or may not ever decide to go. I don’t think that makes him a bad or unsaved person. I don’t think it helps.
You can’t sell religion. It either appeals to people or it doesn’t. Leave a few things lying around that won’t hit him smack in the face, that he can pick up when you’re not around. Choose the material wisely. Good luck.
I had my most spiritual moment on a beginner’s ski slope in Vail, all by myself, in the snow. Many years ago.
When you have an epiphany like that, it’s easy to understand that you don’t find your faith in Church alone.
We were doing fine, joined a United Methodist Church, then we lost our moms and stopped going. I have come to realize I don’t like their politics - is that sad, or what?!
People do need to grow up.
Some crackpot researcher from Norway suggests something outrageous that Americans will never allow to happen and people here take leave of their senses.
Lifesite news can always be counted on for a hysterical headline.
Hysteria is what liberals accuse pro-lifers of.
People need to be accountable to themselves and in turn maybe they’ll learn to be accountable to others.

I knew it was a small amount. You won’t hear those statistics being reported anywhere.
