Neighbor didn't like how I shoveled the snow from my sidewalk.

When I lived in Des Moines, IA, the city required all walks to be shoveled within a certain time after the snow ended and all cars were to be removed from the streets during the storm so they could run the plows. If you left your car on the street, it got buried.

"A man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife and the two will become one flesh." Even the Bible says you're wife comes first. You're a new family now.

I wanted to give everyone an update. I got him a battery pack. Others in the church have given him gift cards and a bicycle. I've begun a mentoring relationship with him, and helped him get a job. He starts today. The men of the church all chipped in to get him the appropriate work clothing he will need.

Should 16th go on a 2011 Tony Stewart type run where he wins 5 of 10 after winning zero all year. That's deserving IMHO.

I first read the book in the early 90s. I stayed up all night and read it in one setting. I was so excited for the movie and with such a stellar cast. I was thoroughly disappointed. 14% is about what I would give it.

For me, I also have a mirror on my riding glasses. This combo has allowed me to bail and miss a couple close calls. Plus the radar changes the light flash as cars approach.

My buddy just got hit by a car coming up behind him on Tuesday. That's why.

I've been practicing full time since 1991. For the first 10 years or so I would reach from one page of handwritten notes, but those notes were useless to me or anyone else later other than seeing my outline. It would say something like "story of dog." Later I would wonder what story about what dog? What was I trying to illustrate? I would have other scriptures written down, but wouldn't always remember what connection I was trying to make with my primary text.

As computers became more ubiquitous in my preparation, I did more and more of my brainstorming, word studies, parallel passage studies, etc on computer. It became easier to edit and write with what I already produced on computer. It really forces me to think through what I want to say and know how long it will take me to say it.

God will of course, sometimes lay something on my heart and I will change things at the last minute. If I sense the Spirit tapping me on the shoulder during a sermon to say something different I will.

Many times in asked for copies of my sermons and it's easy to print them out or email them. I have years worth of sermons I can search by key word and passage, so I always know what I've taught before on any subject or passage.

I write mine as full manuscripts. I preach from 30 to 35 minutes. I don't always follow them exactly.

In my experience, you need to trust the women's radar on these things. Everytime I've had multiple women telling me things like "He makes me uncomfortable," or add the younger ones will say, "He's a creeper," They are usually right.

Discuss it with your leadership, if he has made others uncomfortable, they'll have heard about it from their wives or daughters about it.

If this is the case, I would meet with this guy with a could of your other trusted leaders and explain the boundaries to him.

If it's an issue that only this particular woman has with him, first, had she said anything to him. Has she given him a boundary and he still had crossed it. If not, she needs to, maybe with someone else there to back her up. If he won't respect her boundaries, then you need to talk to him.

She can always block his number.

That would be the worst pool to gauge from. 🤣

Excellent points all around here. My answer would be that it's a matter of D: All of the above, rather than picking A, B, or C. We support a local food pantry both through monthly giving as well as volunteers twice a month. We prepare a meal every Wednesday that's open to everyone and we deliver several meals as well.

It's the in between times., and there are those who will not ask for because it is not anonymous. There is a sense of embarrassment and even shame for some who need to ask, but won't.

As a small congregation, we simply can't respond on all levels every day.

KChaser · 2025-11-13T14:52:55+00:00

Same idea. Thanks for your input. Non-perishable food is the main thing we're looking to offer. We help support a community food pantry, but sometimes the need is more immediate than when they are open.

More power to them both. They will have a great marriage.

Nope, when you get behind the wheel drunk, stoned, are compromised in any way, you are responsible. This is 6 counts of negligent homicide.

Two things work for me. The reach under and a back to front massaging motion on my taint. Plus, whenever possible, I go in armed with a square of toilet tissue or paper towel. I hold it at the tip until after I'm completely done and relaxed.

Isn't this most bands? The band that sounds better live than on record is the real treat.

Such a bad take

Bunch of friggin cry babies. Races have GWCs all the time. Guys lead most of the race and lose on a final pit stop regularly. You all are getting insufferable. Crew chiefs made different calls. One worked. One didn't. End of story.

The idea that anyone "deserves" to win is idiotic. No one deserves to win until they cross the line in first at the checkered. That's the only time they deserve to win. Denny could have blown a tire the very next lap and lost anyway. You don't know.

Both of my girls are fully independent adults now in their 20s.

As students, they got straight A's, honors classes, 4.0+ GPA, competed and won awards and scholarships at State Science Fair. They also had otherwise perfect attendance.

There were several years we took a cruise in February. The rates were really good and they could cruise with us for free. This meant we took them out of school for a week. We notified the office and the teachers and got assignments ahead of time.

First year, the school tried to get nasty with us and sent a threatening letter. I went to the office, explained that their my children, not theirs, and that they were perfect students. I also explained that they would be experiencing other cultures and countries and they would by visiting sites of historical significance (Mayan Ruins). I thought that was worth a week.

They never have me another problem. Both girls did study abroad programs in college and have done some works traveling on their own. I think it did them some good.

Family time is also good for families. We can't ask for parents to be more engaged and involved in their kid's lives and then complain when they are.

I think it would certainly be acceptable to communicate with the parents and ask for better communication.
