my friend and i are mulling over the idea of doing something like this and yet we are so naive and know so little about the practicalities of such an exercise that we don't even know if we have the capacity to do this.

has anyone ever done anything like this and would share what was involved?

if its too scary i'll just donate toys to the hospital..

Things YOU eat, that other people think is weird.

this mornings events have got me thinking about things.

i love peanut butter, not the sweet kind but i like the old fashioned peanut butter, usually laura scudder's with no sugar or preservatives - it just tastes better imo.

i put it on everything including pancakes which are really good with peanut butter and maple syrup.

have you ever walked on the beach and tried following another persons footprints; matching your own steps with them as exactly as possible?

by calling ourselves christians, we have indicated our desire to do just that, to follow closely in the footsteps of christ.

have you ever noticed though that on a crowded beach, , there were several sets of footprints, many of them may look alike.

Do you know what your last name means and where it comes from...?

i have always been interested in what last names mean and where they come from and if someone famous in the past is related to us because of the same last name.

my last name comes from greek but my family is not greek.

it dates back to the year 700ce and it was around the time in europe when people were starting to get last names - i'm talking about the general people not monarchs.

Problems with pets.

do you ever get trouble with your pets?

i have a dog and i want it to be free to roam in this quiet semi urban area with plenty of fields around but i can't because it will search around, find females and enter into private gardens and yards to have sex with them.

of course the owners may not appreciate this and create a scene or ensnare him and hand him over to animal protection as a stray or perhaps poison him.

Who are following Jesus' and the Apostles' teachings today...?

2. bible
please, this question is for those who are christians and believe in the bible.

no need for those who are not christians, don't believe in the bible or mock religion/the bible/god/jesus to respond, especially if the response is going to be nasty or offensive.

what christian group do you guys think is following in the footsteps of jesus and the apostles?
