  • Encinom, Dobson is not a pastor. You may be thinking of Focus on the Family, but that is different than this thing. You do not increase your standing with people by making comments that are uninformed. Dr. Dobson, writes and speaks about family issues, especially children. I am not sure, but I think his new program relates or will relate, to matters that affect families specifically. Have you ever listened to any of his new programs yet, do you know what they are about. I am not even sure if it is on the air yet. I do know he is not a pastor, and does not speak as one.

  • It is sad we have come to the place where we call ourselves civilized and allow this in our society. I am convinced that some keep promoting this to convince themselves that they are not barbarians. I was angry at first when I heard that BHO asked for God’s Blessing on Planned Parenthood, but then I realized how despicable that concept is, to invoke His blessing on a gruesome and barbaric practice. That anger turned somewhat to compassion when I realize how deceived he has become, and ask for God to have mercy on his soul, to grant him the ability to repent. Lord have mercy on our nation.

  • I will confess, that like some of you, I thought I had it all figured out, and God had appointed me to make sure everyone is as correct as I am. I was wrong. I do not know everything, but I do know this, that even though I know suicide is not the answer, I will not bring condemnation on anyone. Partly because I know I am not perfect, and if Jesus, who was perfect, can say to a woman caught in the very act of adultery, that He did not condemn her, I will be very careful what I say. My job is to love people with His love, and show them the heart of God. I would encourage everyone who wants to get a greater understanding of His heart and our part, to see the video “Furious Love” by Darren Wilson. It helped to put things into perspective for me.

  • BigSKy, is that the best you can do? You do it too? Why not direct your concern at the guy doing it, or is it not present? Or do you think because he is democrat, he has ‘good intentions’, and that makes it ok?

  • Meteor and others, simple question. If the story is true, and you could be convinced of it, would you then say that the administration is wrong in it’s treatment of women, that they have been guilty of double speak? Or would you continue to defend this administration? If you answer no to the first, and yes to the second, then that tells me your mind is made up and their is no point in confusing it with facts, no amount of reason will affect you.

  • I will speak as a follower of Jesus. He is my example. We tend to put sin into categories. This sin is bad, this sin is really bad, this is minor, etc. Jesus looked at hearts, and since I do not know Ellen, I do not know her heart. Is homosexuality a sin, yes. Is gossip, infidelity, greed, malice, pride also a sin, yes. Jesus also looked beyond the sin to the person’s real need and spoke to that need. When He was met the woman who was caught in the very act of adultery by the religious leaders, He demonstrated compasion and love to her, and eventually He called her to step up out of what she was in, to a higher place, out of sin. It was the last thing He addressed, because He saw that her deep need was compassion. I would like to see the Ellens of this world, come to be a follower of Jesus, and I do not see that likely to happen if those of us who call Him Lord, pounce on her with judgement as the first point of contact. So often as Christians respond like the religious leaders and want to stone them, and not respond like Jesus, with compassion. When we learn that if we want people to see Jesus for who He is, they will most likely need to see Him in us, so we best start acting like Him. People are attracted to love and life, so let’s get out and show people some of it. If you have received Him as your life, then go let it show to those who need it. Jesus said that the thief comes to steal, kill and destroy, but He came to bring life. That is now our mission.

  • Our son got his cell phone wet, I do not remember how, and I said I would put it in a bag with raw rice. He, not being the most patient type, doubted it would work, so he asked me to find a different phone on Ebay. I did and before it arrived, his old phone was working again. Rice also worked for our new electronic ‘key’ for our car. It went through the washer, in rice overnight or two, and it works as good as always. Yes, the car is a ‘rice burner’

  • It is interesting to me, that I should see this today. I had found 2 1/2 men at times funny. I watched a show the other day from this season, and I do not know if it is because God is working in my life, or because the show is becoming so much more raunchy, or both, but I thought after seeing the episode from last week, ‘I do not really want to watch this kind of junk for a few funny moments.’ I intend to do what he recommends, and not watch it. I had no idea that Angus has become a believer in Jesus Christ, but I will admit I see some maturity in him for making this decision. God Bless him.

  • My thought as I read the story is, so why are we so surprised he is so self-absorbed? Does not appear to be an ounce of grace is his demeanor.

  • So typical, no one says anything about banning or burning, but for sensation, and with a lack of factual information, to make sensational charges to get a point made. Try again, this time with facts. Oh and a question, should we have movies that encourage mass murder or abuse and bullies? Should we also promote pedophilia? You get the point.
