I bought a ticket for the Lotto Max in Canada. $50 million. In Canada we keep every cent. Every dad burn cent. No taxes. Got first 5 numbers. Last two missed. Made $94.

I feel your pain.

Peddling God’s Timetable: the Men Who Failed

by Terry in

peddling god’s timetable: the men who failed.

james ussher (1581-1656).

your name is ussher – james ussher – and you are the archbishop of all of ireland.. you are living in the 1600s and are obsessive-compulsive when it comes to speculative ideas.

Would we exist if Adam and Eve didn't sin?

by truth doubter in

my son asked me 40 years ago.

should we be glad adam sinned?

because if he hadn't, we would not be the person we are.. any opinions?

My mother married in 1947. She and her first husband had a son. My half brother. Mother goes on trip with toddler to visit family. First husband smokes in bed. Burns down the house and him with it. My mother marries again. Along I come.

I am here because some guy I never knew smoked in bed.

- A single guy goes to a dance. Asks the first damn that smiles at him if she wants to dance. He doesn't ask the prettier one, the more intelligent one, the classier one but the one that smiles at him. 10 years later they have a mortgage and 3 kids. Your one of them.

A single woman in the supermarkets deli section helps a dopey single guy pick out the best cheese to go with a red wine. 10 years later... well you get the picture. And your kid wants to know if he would be here if Adam and Eve didn't sin? Tell him he wouldn't be here if you made a right turn on First Ave instead of a left turn on Mar 1, 1974 at 7:00pm.

This week's resurrection video, will it backfire on the wt?

by prologos in

the resurrection is supposed to be a joyous occasion?, if it ever happened!

--well, this week's showing at the hall was the opposite, it was about death with violins playing in the background.

a recently bereaved member, , full of tears, (like many others) could not contain herself.

I thought everyone was going to be resurrected 'buck neked'.

i sat outside at a cafe with my cappuccino for the first time today.

the sky was blue, the birds were singing, i could hear a woodpecker in the tall trees.

i closed my eyes and felt the sun on my face for the first time in months and i thought, i could sit here until the end of time.
