I like the Bible studies because I can ask questions and get answers. I have to admit that I asked questions that didn't make me look good but I got answers. My favorite answers from a pastor is "I don't know" or "I must look into that and get back with you". I do have to say it took me a while to make my way back to the Lutheran MS school and Church I was raised in but I knew I had to find a good school and Church for me to raise my family in. My journey to learn other religions and other sects of Christian made me a stonger more humble Christian. Joe I'm sure you have more people then you know praying for you and others on this blog. Hopefully I have some praying for me too.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12905362327313044045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7705675907060089073.post-87042082559066319582009-12-24T12:33:29.082-05:002009-12-24T12:33:29.082-05:00i looked him and i admit i will give him a shot.

To know God. I left the Lutheran Church also for quit a while and then I came back. I was in your shoes exactly. And Joe I still question the pastors on everything and I demand Bible verses to back up what they say. The Bible is purfect but if we can mess it up we will. I pray for you all and your families as we can all use them. Joe you would like a writer called Emmett Fox. The Book that I like best of his is Making Your Life Worth While and The Sermon On The Mount. He is long dead but his writings might be of interest to you. Thanks again Joe for making my day and your families by even just thinking about going back to Church.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12905362327313044045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7705675907060089073.post-52162493006831913152009-12-24T08:35:40.166-05:002009-12-24T08:35:40.166-05:00Chris, i actually thought of going tonite.

It was really nice to sing with the kids at some nursing homes. I know it wasn't giving the big bucks but the kids learned something and it made our most valued elderly feel great. Joe I think it is a great thing that you give so much and so freely of your time and/or money. We could use more people like you in this country. Joe you might like serving at MCREST. I put in one week helping them and I'm sure you would find it rewarding and helpful. You would also notice that these homeless men,women and children all have health insurance. It's too bad you project so much anger on the Church. It sounds to me like you like your distance from God and the Church. Maybe you should read a little about forgiveness. Forgiving yourself and asking to be forgiven is very cathartic if you believe in it. And since no one and no church on earth is perfect you can see why forgiveness is so valuable. Joe it would be nice to see you at Church even though there is sinning going on in it and outside of it. But the good thing is most Churches I know only take sinners so you and I are always welcome. I'm sure Jesus would love to see you there on his birthday. And try looking at the good in the Church and her people for a change.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12905362327313044045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7705675907060089073.post-57845250296908356582009-12-23T18:53:23.511-05:002009-12-23T18:53:23.511-05:00Good for you on the giving Joey.

We do what we can, and it's more than most like Bruce.<br /><br />I was thinking the same thing about the parallels between Obummer and Reagan the other day. Definitely would be nice to have some checks and balances, as even Chris has said on several occasions.<br /><br />So Joey, I don't know that I've seen your opinion on this health care debacle. What are your thoughts? Let's have them. I hope they are more thought out than Bruce's opinions (aka MoveOn.org's opinions). Of course that isn't a tall order; ANY thought you put into it makes it more thought out than FAILk's "ideas".<br /><br />Did you ever read that full article that I told you about quite a while ago?

Thats a fact. Not going to argue that. <br /><br />as for home sales thats not just Detroit. Overall it seems that unemployment is going to stabilize and we've already had GDP growth and now housing is picking back up. <br /><br />Remember at this time of Reagan's term (he was in a horrible recession too) the Dems thought for sure with the economy he'd be a one term president too. Things pikced back up by 83 and you know what happened. So lets figure your side gains seats, maybe enough to control the house maybe not. I don't have an issue with a split congress or even a democrat exec and a republican legislative. Checks and balances. <br /><br />Watch out though. Get in, run a hard line, the economy picks up and appear obstructionist and there goes the chance at Obama.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7705675907060089073.post-47660657654291231842009-12-23T18:05:09.899-05:002009-12-23T18:05:09.899-05:00Hey, the main thing is that you give Joey.

So he was instead given a work order card and told to deliver that to the Windy City.<br />Because Combs’ trucking company signed a contract with the Postal Service, he couldn’t pick up another load despite the empty space. Combs says: “It’s just a waste of time, a waste of money, a waste of fuel.”<br />The Louisville Post Office branch says the mistake was an isolated incident and has nothing to do with the cuts in hours or cost-saving measures the Postal Service has been forced to make.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7705675907060089073.post-5818940603244938922009-12-23T14:12:54.262-05:002009-12-23T14:12:54.262-05:00You lieberal Hypocrats got taken in by a caller on...You lieberal Hypocrats got taken in by a caller on C-SPAN.
