  well, first thanks all for the posts before i left,.

  it went great,,,,i did not recognize him,,,,i couldnt believe it,,what a fine young man he became,,,,we had 2 hours of wonderful talking together (bad grammer but i am still in a fog:).

  when it was over we stood outside coffee shot for a few min and i am sure i saw a few tears, then he hugged me, for quite a few seconds...and basically he said he would leave in my hands to contact him,,,,here i was worried he wouldnt want to see me for another 9 years.

  i just finished changing my desktop back ground and realized to some it may reflect what they value or something that symblizes their identity.

  what's on your desktop and what does it say about you??.

  Why Christianity is all about judgement!

  this joke was written by the comedian emo phillips.

  what makes it funny is that it captures christianity to the exact point we all should know.

  enjoy .... voted the funniest religious joke of all time.

  I think the propensity to judge others comes more from personality than religion.

  Just a guess, but I would imagine half the Christians on this board would shake their head at your imminent trip to hell, and half would say lets go have a beer.

  Along those same lines, I bet half of the atheists on this board judge me foolish for being a believer, and half would say to each his own.

  As a witness, I would judge you for your religion, your morals, the cleanliness of your car, and your choice of hairstyle. As a Christian, the only person I feel fit to judge is myself.

  I have had my "absolute truth" disintegrated before, and acknowlege the possibility I could be wrong, so I appreciate the right to my beliefs and those of others.

  So true AA!

  My husband was perfect for me at 20. But by 30, I was a seasoned wife and mother who wanted a house and yard and retirement account. And married to someone who still wanted to spend all night playing video games and sleep until noon and keep responsibilities to a bare minimum.

  Should I have to spend the rest of my life living in a college apartment being a mother to my husband?

  Thanks for everyone's opinions. I empathize with everyone who's been through divorce, been there myself, it ain't no cakewalk.

  I too remember many horribly miserable people in the congo who were cheered on for staying with someone they didn't/couldn't love.

  HL, hey girl! Yep, I plan on being at Eyebrow's. See ya there. Now sweep that floor!

  Well that makes a whole lot more sense!

  Does this verse contradict the "he who divorces except on the grounds of adultry commits adultry"?

  That being said, I do think most marriages can be saved with a lot of effort. But some are just not saveable.
