Your example of enduring the hiccups and trying to solve the issue on your own, especially when a perfectly good remedy was easily within reach, is an outstanding example of how we often try to ‘white knuckle’ life’s difficulties when the ultimate remedy is easily within our reach.

Great article!

Sadness permeates the wait, for me. I don't want to be found sad when at last he comes into my life, but the longer I am asked to wait, the sadder I become...

I am in a similar situation. I have been married for 11+ years and been with my husband for 13 yrs. And I am tired. I have 3 children; a lot of stamina but I am completely worn out.
My husband is the archetypal jekyll and hyde character; his anger is overwhelming and scary and doesn't take much to trigger it off. It has culminated in physical abuse at times and threats. I feel constantly criticised for not doing what I should do and when I complain or try and get redress for the treatment I receive I am told that no one is stopping me from leaving. I am not sure if I love him anymore because if anything I feel drained and tired. I have even stopped praying although I have God in my thoughts all the time. I don't know what to do or where to start but I need help - in a big way. I went away for a week for work 3 weeks ago and on my way back I had a full blown panic attack on the plane. I couldn't face the idea of coming back. I panic like crazy when he is angry ...where do I start?

I think they should have been confiscated. I know Jehovah of the Old Testament didn't use that name. Neither did Jesus Christ our LORD and Savior refer to His Father by the name of allah. Allah is a false god. We worhip the only One and True God.

Absence of evidence isn't evidence of absence. But absence of evidence when evidence should be present is evidence of absence. I suppose I could be agnostic about the possible existence of a god who set off the Big Bang in the first place, but I am absolutely atheistic about the Judaic-Christian-Islamic god, because there is absolutely no evidence for this god's existence. I concede Jesus existed (as a apocalyptic preacher who was executed by the Romans for sedition), but there is no contemporary evidence for his miracles or the resurrection (the gospels were written at least 30 years (John 70 years afterwards) after the events supposedly described, and there are no copies from that time too). The thought of someone being executed for someone else's crimes I find morally repugnant.

Jerry Bergman is extremely confused. A (scientific) theory is much more than a fact; it explains and connects a large number of facts. It isn't a guess or just speculation; that is a hypothesis. What does carbon12 have to do with irreducible complexity? If Jerry Bergman reckons he has an example of a fossil in the wrong geological stratum then why doesn't he document it fully instead of just insinuating it?

The most delicious I have found for me to use left over roast beef is by doing what my mom did for our family of six. She would grind it up in her meat grinder, add mayonnaise and sweet relish to make a wonderful sandwich spread.

More recently, we thinly sliced leftover roast beef and added that to our grilled cheese sandwiches.

My husband loves a good sandwich. Being able to share something with him from my youth just makes it that much more special!

Thank you for these timely thoughts. My husband and I have been struggling with the idea of taking our high school daughter to a youth group not associated with our home church (in which we both are leaders). You could not have overstated the fact that it is the parent's responsibility to instill Godly values and principles in their children. The list of standards for your youth group are outstanding. Thank you, again.
