In Reply to: You could always go through the motions and go to church - agnostic
Hello,
Though I have always been a believer (grandfather was a minister), I learned to accept "faith." Faith is not an organized religious system, but in fact just knowing in your heart to trust God at all times..for everything. If you are an atheist, I, too, question why he began dating you. I dated atheists in the past, and it will not work; however, believing in God is another thing. Maybe you have not reached that point where you can learn to "trust" God and have "faith." No, I don't attend church regularly, but do have a lot of "faith" as I have been dealt with by God on this issue. It is truly a matter of "real" belief..just knowing that God is "real." I have been proven to several times in my life that God is real, and that is where my faith in God stemmed.
As for you and your man, if you love him and believe there is no one else to fulfill your life, and he feels the same about you, why would you question him now? Why would you want to break-up? Just have enough faith to know that it will work out in the long run. God is love, and love with overpower all things. If you go to church with him and search out the "faith" not in people but in God, then God will show you that He is real. :) Hope this helps, and hope all things work out for you two.

and some of us are not of that faith too...
We should consider everybody, not just the Christians, but really wouldn't that be the Christian thing to do, to consider EVERYBODY in this life?
*just my take on things*
I am not religious, rather spiritual though and considerate and caring for everybody always and very compassionate. 
I truly have faith and
totally agree with everyting you said. We have a wonderful church family and I do have faith that whatever happens is totally in God's plan.
Faith Hill
I was pleased to see a genuine reaction. When they smile and clap for the other person, we all know it's phony - each of them thinks they will win.
As far as Carrie Underwood winning the award, I agree with Faith - WHAT???? She isn't in the same league with the other nominees and had no business being nominated. Just because someone dreams of some thing doesn't mean they deserve to have it. Being the most popular, which is what American Idol is all about, does not mean you have a shred of talent. The song leaders in my local church have more talent than Carrie Underwood.
Going to see Tim and Faith tonite
My 19 year old great nephew got tickets for us to see Tim and Faith. It was out of the blue and he said it was cuz I am always doing things for him and his brothers, his Dad is my nephew and they are his kids so great nephew. Made me feel good but it is hard to accept as I know he really could not afford them with going to college and working part-time. Hard for me to accept but easy for me to give. Anyway, going out for some fun tonight. Told him I would buy dinner. He is coming by early to put my new BBQ together and then out we go.
blind faith is EXACTLY what...
God expects. You got it right, believe what you cannot see. Have faith that God will show you the way...IF YOU BELIEVE...you must believe and have complete and total faith in the Lord that he will sustain you. It's not easy, of course, but it must be done...according to God...
Women of Faith
 Hi, Country MT - I love WOF. Have been to 2. Really can't pick a favorite; they are all great! Sounds like you are a Christian also - oh, no - will I get in trouble for using that word? By your name, I'm assuming you live in middle of nowhere; I do too. Tiny, tiny town in IL, 400 people max. I love this board. Gives me an outlet when bored. I really should be on working toward the bonus, but it is Saturday, will get to it sometime today. 
Anybody see the Faith Hill freak-out on...
I didn't see the show, but saw the video on, what is it, utube or youtube? Anyhow, I googled it and the video came up...can't tell if it's for real or not! If it is, she's a sore loser! 
I think Faith Hill is over-rated
I never did get the big buzz about her. If she weren't married to Tim no one would have ever heard of her. She's an opportunist and looks like a gawky dodo bird. I'm glad she finally got busted for being the insincere phony she truly is.
This should be posted on the Faith board nm

I agree... but that's where faith kicks in
My biggest fear in the world is losing someone I love... and sometimes it hits me that something could happen to me in a split second... accidents happen all the time... but I can't live my life like that I wouldn't be living right!
I frequent the faith board
and I just want to say I agree with you 100%. This woman was irresponsible and is a perfect example of what's wrong with this country. ME, ME, ME it's all about ME. No matter that her poor old parents can't even enjoy a retirement because they have once again been forced into parenthood, but now she wants other people to take from the mouths of truly needy children (and animals!) and give to her brood.
Unfortunately, in saying all this, it is true that the children are innocent and will need to be cared for. I have never had children, so I won't pretend to know how this should be done, but obviously this woman has some psychological issues that need to be dealt with.
And kudos to you for starting an animal rescue! I would love to do that one day, but for now I just give strays a home until I can find them a forever home!
Another good faith based one is Thin Within
you can Google Thin Within on the web also. It focuses on how you feel about yourself. After going through it for the first time I was able to separate ME and how I felt about ME from how I felt about the extra pounds I carry.
I have avoided Weigh Down because I have some issues with some beliefs and practices of the founders, but I have heard it is a well designed and good program.
Faith Hill's only talent is hitchin' her proverbial wagon
She has no more talent than Carrie does. As a matter of fact, Carrie's better and didn't need to marry a big name to break into show business.
Haley and I think she sang If My Heart Had Wings by Faith Hill. She is okay but -sm-
Sabrina deserved to stay. I don't think Antonella should have made it to the top 24. I think the producers had to know about her background and put her on to give the show more attention (not that it needed any). I agree with the poster from the other day that only two of the winners deserved to win, Carrie and Kelly although I have not purchased anything of Taylors. I have purchased cds by Clay, Kimberly Locke and Josh Gracin and they are all excellent. I even purchased a short cd by Carmen Rasmussen that wasn't too bad. Rubin and Fantasia were not my type of singers. I am sure they have a lot of fans to get where they are but they were not my favorites and I would probably not buy any of their music.
