“My God Wouldn’t Do That”–Who is Your God?

It amazes me that so many people call themselves Christians, but don’t believe the Bible. Perhaps I’ve been a bit too insulated in my world (I’m not complaining, by any means!), but the statement “My God wouldn’t do that” sounds foreign to my ears. I’ve heard it in many different ways, by different people, in [...]

This past week marked the 35th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision in the Supreme Court. I’ve recently read several blogs hailing that decision, saying that they were encouraged by other abortion proponents to blog about it; and they in turn encouraged their readers to write further posts, as well as to support pro-abortion [...]
What Women Never Hear
Posted by: Kathy on: January 27, 2008
I just happened across this guy’s blog today, and am in the process of reading every one of his posts. Just thought I’d spread the word, because so far, I can’t disagree with anything. I’ll be putting the link in my blogroll, but wanted to highlight it a little bit.
And here is the link to [...]
Does the Bible say you have to have kids?
Posted by: Kathy on: January 24, 2008
It’s kinda neat looking at the blog stats page and seeing what people searched for online to find your blog. This was one of the search terms, and it got me to thinking–what *does* the Bible say about it? I’ve not done extensive research into this question, so most of this is “off the cuff”; [...]
Jack
Posted by: Kathy on: January 23, 2008
Today, I had to take our cat Jack in to the vet to be put down. He’s had some issues lately, but I think he got into something he shouldn’t have. Over the summer, he lost weight, which at first I attributed to his being outside a lot and running around (he usually loses weight [...]
Would you like some cheese with that whine?
Posted by: Kathy on: January 21, 2008
People don’t want to get better. They want a solution to their problems that does not require action or change on their part. They want the world to change so that they will feel better, without actually changing themselves so that they will feel better. I know that most people are just venting most of [...]
Infant Baptism and Circumcision
Posted by: Kathy on: January 20, 2008
Many Christians will “baptize” (that is, sprinkle water on) their infants, and believe that they are following the command of Scripture. I will refer such persons to a book by William Shirreff, entitled Lectures on Baptism. He lived probably about 150 years ago, and was a life-long Presbyterian, and a minister, until the end of [...]
Mental Illness
Posted by: Kathy on: January 18, 2008
There are so many people suffering today–so many people hurting–and there seems to be no answers, no relief. Take a pill. Talk to a shrink. “You’re not sick, it’s other people’s fault.” “You’re sick, it’s not your fault.” These are answers? This is relief?
When someone has a recognized mental illness such as bipolar disorder, depression, [...]
Potty-training, day one
Posted by: Kathy on: January 18, 2008
Wow. Who’d’ve thunk it? My younger son is wanting to go potty–he’s just 19 months old. I guess he wants to be like his big brother. I was a little tentative about doing this, but I figured, why not? The worst that can happen is that it doesn’t work and we stay in diapers until [...]
Precocious child?
Posted by: Kathy on: January 18, 2008
My 19-month-old son is wanting to potty-train. Blows my mind! I’m all for it, don’t get me wrong, but I’m completely flummoxed!
The other day, he was watching his big (3/y/o) brother go potty, and then he tried to climb up on the potty–which he can do, because he’s a climber. I started to pull him [...]
