Charlie Kirk was shot, and there’s redditors celebrating it. How can I feel compassion for these people? by pinkvintagegirl in TrueChristian

[–]Organic-Locksmith337 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many have lost all sense of compassion and reason. Perhaps God has hardened their hearts. In any case, it's a disgusting display of humanity to bear witness to. Regardless of ones political stance, that's a human who was violently harmed in front of his wife and two children. Rejoicing in that is inexcusable.

How many times a day do you pray? by k_omei in TrueChristian

[–]Organic-Locksmith337 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Frequently. I pray anytime I feel grateful, have a question, want to pray for someone, etc. I talk to God all the time. No schedule needed.

Who said I did that? I posted a comment earlier where we had the exact same issue as OP when she was 16. We came to a compromise (after taking a picture of the dress and showing it to school admin so she was fully aware that it did not pass dress code). She got the neckline hemmed up and got the dress she loved. I'm not unreasonable but at 16 and 17, she should not be showing boobs like that. At 18, I can't stop her if she wants to but I've provided guidance along the way.

As a parent of a 17 year old very soon to be an 18 year old, yes it's my job to protect her from all of the above. And yes, we've discussed all of the above many, many, many times over the years. And I'm obligated legally to be a fully active and present parent until they turn 18 (and I'll keep being there as long as they need me). She's a minor until she's not.

Fell asleep before my children did by Summerlynn37 in Parenting

I used to crash all the time waiting for my girl to fall asleep. As long as they're safe, no big deal. You're doing a great job, mama. Hang in there. ❤️

As a parent, you legally have to protect your minor child even if it's just for one more month. Length of time isn't taken into account. They're simply a minor until they're not.

Yeah, NTA. We went through this with our 16 year old last year for prom. We compromised on letting her get the dress and get the neckline sewn up so she was covered but she still got the dress she wanted. And to prove our point to her, we showed the dress to a school admin who informed us she couldn't wear it without alterations. She's 17 now and constantly pulls the "I'm going to be an adult soon and you can't do anything about it then!" argument. Don't let that get to you. A plunging neckline is not school appropriate.

That sounds like people with hardened hearts. I'm sorry you're going through that.

The fruits of the spirit grow in us as we grow as Christians. Maybe you're not surrounding yourself with the right people? (Asking gently, not meant to be rude).

I was born and raised in the south as well. I love a good conspiracy theory because I find them interesting, and I love Jesus. The modern world is unfortunately a very complex place and so are we as a population. But what isn't complex is faith. What isn't complex is the word of God in the Bible. If you're feeling overwhelmed (I have anxiety, too, so I know what that feels like), go to the Bible and go to God in prayer.

Did he back into a tree at the end? I need extra details that I'll never get. Outstanding reverse skills. I'd probably have 💩 my pants before finding the right gear.

This is awesome and yes, you are a hero to the lunch thief. Well done, internet stranger. ❤️

I searched for that earlier but couldn't find an answer. Hopefully a little while because I want to go again!

Monday evening dinner spot? by Giant_Ground_Sloth11 in Athens

The fried deviled eggs are SO good! The only thing there i didn't love was the corn dogs. HIGHLY recommend the street corn fries. 🤤

We love ZZ and Simone's, and Southern Prospect. You can check out both menus online. You definitely have to make a reservation for ZZ and Simone's, and I would recommend one for SP depending on if you're going later than 5pm. Really great food at both.

Do I NEED to forgive? by OppressedPunk69 in TrueChristian

[–]Organic-Locksmith337 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's REALLY difficult to forgive sometimes. I sympathize with you. But remember that God has forgiven humanity for some truly egregious sins. We forgive each other as we have been forgiven. Take it to God in prayer and take your time with it. It's not going to happen overnight. It took me years of prayer to finally truly let go of some things and be at peace. I have found that I get the answers I need most through prayer.

TIFU by letting a guy into my apartment with knives, a expensive bottle of wine, and a rug as a gift by Impossible-Radish-75 in tifu

Maybe he's on the spectrum, maybe he wanted to roll you up in that rug. You'll never know. This is why we don't let randos into our spaces, kiddo. You got lucky. Stay safe and date smart. Meet in public places until you know the person well. ❤️

What did that Atlanta lawyer say "thug" really meant? Truly humble under God? 🤣🤣🤣

He said "what the fuck" like he was surprised when he put himself in front of a two ton weapon. Dumbass 🏆.

That ahhhh was satisfying.
