Oh dear. I recommend that you trot on over to Auntie Flo's Prayer Shack for Women and see if they have any weight loss tips for you!

Thanks As soon as the snow is gone, I'll start working in the garden, I cannot wait to see my plants - and that will help me shed some of the, huh, winter deposits Unfortunately, it may still take a while for the snow to melt.

Hello Basilisk, I see that you've already been promoted to the rank of Forum Member! Though I congratulate you on your meteoric rise, I do caution you not to let sinful pride get the better of you.

Thank you and I will keep that in mind I do hope that meteoric rise does not predict a meteoric fall (although Heathen Basher's example shows that there is always hope for a comeback from perdition).

Tell us, do you have a slender figure, or are you "big boned"?

5'4" and 155 pounds which in my area of the Midwest makes me way below average (but it is, huh, about 15 pounds more than I would wish).

Deuteronomy 20 is a wonderful chapter from a fantastic book. Judges, Joshua and Revelation also show us much about His Perfect Love

I agree I also enjoy Leviticus and Job

Deuteronomy 20:16

Deuteronomy 20 is a wonderful chapter from a fantastic book. Judges, Joshua and Revelation also show us much about His Perfect Love why the heathen would choose evil is beyond me, even though I was born having rejected God and brim full of sin. Satan is the answer to that question of course, the way he places temptations of the flesh (in the form of absinthe served with bitter salts by naked pagans for example which I know is not at all uncommon in the middle of nowhere). Satan is a choice God never approved of

Lamentations
2:1a How hath the Lord covered the daughter of Zion with a cloud in his anger,
3:15 He hath filled me with bitterness, he hath made me drunken with wormwood.
KJV

and yet He called while still in thrall to base desire
set us on fire
for Him

Welcome! Mrs. Etheldreda is absolutely right. God must have planned for you to find this site, so there can't be anything accidental about it.

I take it you find that very attractive.

Re: Thank you, Jesus!

You need a Church so you can meet other Christians and find a man who will marry you.

And Matthew 18:20 suggests that we really don't need a formal church with formal structure, doesn't he

Re: Thank you, Jesus!

So, you rejected going to church after visiting one time?

Nope,I grew up in Catholic environment (BelieverInGod has deciphered me correctly), but I red too much (you know, Catholic Church doesn't really want you to read the Bible that much, because you may reach "incorrect" conclusions), I saw a lot of discrepancies and bigotry, and I rebelled. And Matthew 18:20 suggests that we really don't need a formal church with formal structure, doesn't he

[Nobar King]

Re: Thank you, Jesus!

I do not attend to any church, because I haven't found one that would not "cherry pick" whatever they want from the Bible. I do believe that we should either accept it all or reject it all, no middle ground.

So, you rejected going to church after visiting one time?
