  1. Pray for a victory with science. Pray when science fails. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.
  2. My thoughts.... If you think you have contracted Ebola or any disease, seek qualified medical care. I've seen positive results when a righteous believers pray for the ill. However, I shy away from those who hold themselves up as faith healers. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant.

  3. As a counselor, I disagree. As a Christian, I understand. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.
  4. In Kallend's defense, I think we should have more honest, open emotional stands on subjects. Rational arguments lack therapy. That is why Freudian psychology is not very useful in counseling. To know why you feel a negative emotion does little to solving the problem. Furthermore, here in SC people obfuscate their emotions trying to find statistics and news sources to outwit their adversary. It just becomes an intellectual game. Oh well, it's just the fargun internet and it don't mean Jack Schit. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant.

  5. I do advocate those exact same benefits for others. It's the new give away welfare for political gain that bothers me. Medicare and SS were in place when I started working. I willingly paid in albeit I had no choice. The VA care I earned by serving my country. Prior to Obamacare my Medicare supplement was about $100/mo. Now it is around $250/mo. BHO opened the flood gates to illegals and welfare recipients to create a tax burden and centralize power. I hope we gain control of the Senate in November. It won't solve all the problems because of the similarity between to two major parties. But maybe, just maybe, we can reverse some of the problems caused by Obamacare. Because we haven't seen or felt the full disastrous impact of that yet. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant.

  6. Something else, the VA was not able to transfer my records interstate. They are working on it though. You know, government bureaucracy grinds slow. It's been two years but some progress is being made. I received a brief physical exam, cost $15; an aortic ultrasound, cost $50 and a colonoscopy scheduled next month, cost unknown. My wife and I have supplemental insurance just like most retired folks that paid into the system while employed. We use local physicians for immediate health concerns. I can only trust the VA, read government, for a bottom line back up. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant.

  7. I see you are still terribly confused. You don't believe in God but you want to be at my judgement when I meet Jesus. That makes no sense. Judgement will be based on one requirement, whether or not I have accepted Jesus Christ as deity, His atoning death and His resurrection. I hope you find a job soon.

  8. Self Tx and return on investment, OK. However, it is not enough, I have to supplement my income with other endeavors. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.
  9. To expand on your point: POLL: LEFTISTS INTOLERANT OF CONSERVATIVES, NOBODY TRUSTS BUZZFEED http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Journalism/2014/10/21/media-poll My take away is this, regardless of ideology, the true believer can find ample news sources to justify their POV. Oh, and leftists think humor is news. I like that one. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.
  10. I don't think that is the point. There are a multitude of students with an undergraduate degree that lack any marketable skills. And, they paid for it.

  11. Student athletes sign a contract. They are compensated for their ability and their talent. The college or university sells the sport with a profit motive. The athlete is a volunteer. Personally, I have no use for any of it. I don't watch or discuss the stats. However, most everyone, males that is, does. It is the game and it is for money. 'Murica, hell yeh! Oh, and remember, "It is not whether you win or lose but, how well you cheat." I think W.C. Fields said that. Part of the game is to not to get caught.

  12. Apparently, you do not understand the game. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.
  13. Thank you. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.
  14. I see your point. I get that. I can't help but wonder how much the PEW research was skewed. Limbaugh was opining this subject the other day but I did not hang around long enough to absorb his whole gist. I wanted to listen to him today but have fallen ill and lack inquisitiveness.

  15. It's not about the contract. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.
  16. Whooosh, it is such a trite and hackneyed expression. But, for the life of me, I can't think of any other reply that fits you better. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.
  17. And, CNN apparently even worse than El Rushbo: CNN YANKED FROM DISH NETWORK: WILL 14 MILLION SUBSCRIBERS EVEN NOTICE? http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Journalism/2014/10/20/dish-cnn-contract-dispute Contract disputes usually get settled and this is, no doubt, a temporary situation. However, what I find amusing is that Turner Broadcasting (CNN) did not have enough clout i.e., viewers and advertising income, to make Dish Network blink.

  18. Here is a good rule of thumb. If I am writing about my Lord, the Bible, or substance use disorder I am serious. Any other topic is a toss up. When I am asked I will respond honestly. All my life I have taken great pleasure in saying or doing the unexpected. At 72 my main avenues for expression are the internet and my church. You should see the looks I get sometimes with those folks. I encourage holy boldness with my brothers and sisters in Christ. I am becoming involved with some military veteran groups up here. Generally, for me anyways, I have found that military vets in recovery are the most amiable to off the wall humor and/or behavior. This is especially true if they ride motorcycles and like guns. Back in the day, sport parachutists used fit in this group. Sadly, this is not the case any longer. They have become too temperamental. Have a great day.

  20. Father God, the evil one has visited upon my family and my community. I pray for the guidance of Your Holy Spirit to show me the path to deliverance. This I ask in the name of Jesus Christ, my Lord and my Savior. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant.

  21. Once again you prove my point. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.
  22. The majority of the time, it is ridiculous to respond to the posts and replies of foreigners. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.
  23. I refer you to post #56 this thread. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.
  24. You do a much better job than I do. Carry on. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.
  25. Huh! I am chilled out. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.
