Spirituality in Nature Groups. Just heard of them so I asked ai about them and it said...

There were a couple of posts recently about adultery not being criminalized and someone mentioned conservatives or something. It just made me start thinking. I love older movies because they feel different when watching them and one of my favorites is Yours, Mine and Ours it stars Henry Fonda and Lucille Ball. I just re watched this yesterday. It struck me that this family sat down to dinner and prayed to the Father and ended in Jesus name. When did this stop being acceptable in Hollywood... Read more ..read more

Coincidence correlation causation. Those words are simply for contemplation. Is it just me or are there distinct similarities between Catholic Saints and Hindu God's? Not in their features or powers (I have not looked at that) but in the manner they are utilized by followers, the chants and thought. Two quick examples which make me ponder. Numerous times in my life I see someone grab their beads or necklace and pray to the Saint of lost things...while looking for the lost thing. This... Read more ..read more

I was wondering about your thoughts here. Why not dictated as in the case with Muhammad. Why the word ""inspired" by God" or "God-breathed". this is the only time in the New Testament that this Greek word is used and Timothy was one of Paul's latter letters. Titus being his last. Paul even separates his words from the inspired words at one point. Timothy3:16 All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in...

The name may be changed the but this is the essence of the concept I am proposing. I envision a connection...video, audio, meet and greet. In the before times I suggested a "meet up" but we were to few and far apart... And then a few of us got together for a wedding...of mates who met here and who have parted. The format for the first i suggest is a meet and greet, and then the people who show up decide if there is to be another and when. For the first one (maybe the only but I doubt...
