the idea of a cosmic struggle between the forces of good and evil has prompted endless speculation by writers and philosophers throughout history.
there is a book, however, that contains the accurate history of the battle between god and the devil.
that book is the bible.
The idea that Christianity stole all its ideas from other religions isn't true if one proceeds from the premise that all truth comes from God.
That's a poorly worded statement that assumes a LOT. And I'm too sleepy to explain it right now if you can't figure it out.
"there was no doubt in my mind that he was talking directly to me.
he said being assertive isn't a luxury, it's our inalienable right.
we don't have to feel quilty about it.
On a side note, I really wish I could have gotten to know my grandparents. They had all sorts of wisdom, knowledge, and life foibles I could have learned from. But alas, I was not allowed to because my JW parents wouldn't let me be around them. Now they're all dead. All I've got are vague impressions and a few memorable quotes.

One of my favorite quotes:

i have never purchased lottery tickets in my life, but i have picked lottery numbers with someone in the past only one time.
he agreed to split the winnings if we win, but we didn't.
i am thinking about buying some lottery tickets, hopefully i will get very lucky.
Most friends I've had that pick numbers and play the lotto do it to break up some of the monotony of life. They're at the stage of life where they realize all their dreams as a kid aren't going to come true, they aren't going to strike it rich, and they'll be doing good to retire at 65. It's just a way to keep the dream alive.
If you try scratch-offs, make sure to check your state lottery website. They provide up to date records of how many have been sold and what prizes have been claimed. Don't lower the already small odds you have by playing a game where the big prizes are already taken.

Ketosis was the best kept secret (for non-diabetics and those with without major health problems) until it became the fad of the year. I had a lot of success with it, especially getting past plateau's.
this is a song thread that will take a little thought.
i'd like for you to share songs that sound atmospheric and conjure up feelings of night air or a smokey room, the energy of the ocean's roar or capture the joy of a party or celebration.
the songs can be transportive and take you other places by their sound and the visuals they evoke from the stories they tell.. my first one is from tim mcgraw.
And to change things up, atmospheric post-rock... ISIS. The first 30 seconds are probably too hard for many folks, but after that...
see, there was a young girl who i met at the post-funeral house party my family held after my aunt passed.
she was already a regular pioneer.
an elder's daughter, third-gen-jw, but far more dedicated than i ever was.
If you really want her, you can probably really have a relationship with her if you do the right things. But you'll do the right things for the wrong reasons and it's virtually certain to bring you nothing but heartache in the long run. You need to get out and see there are more fish in the sea fast!!!! On the double!!! Pronto!!! You're 22. Best years of your young adulthood. Go meet new people! Now!
i am replacing my hvac system, considering 2 options .
1) heat pump coupled with a 80% efficiency furnace for when it drops below 20f .
2) a 95% high efficiency furnace with a traditional 15 seer a/c unit.. anyone here work in this field or replace their system recently?
I'm no expert on this, I do remember in thermodynamics class when we studied air conditioning and heat pump cycles, that it takes 7-10 minutes for the unit to actually get up to its peak efficiency. So make sure you don't get upsold to a larger unit than the one required for the square footage of your house. If the unit turns on and off constantly, it destroys the efficiency (besides being hard on the mechanical components).
