He can still procreate with any woman, but if he feels urges towards men, well thats nature.

I think a lot of people go the extreme -

so, if I had to be one way or the other (being a humble extremist myself...*LOL*), I'd rather have too much self-esteem than not enough (been there, done that the first 30 years!!! *L*).  And I am a truly humble person, been recognized for just that.....but because of *been there, done that* - and all sorts of therapies (not drug therapies), some end up the other way.  Oh well, this was a fun couple of posts - so I thought.

Gave me much to chew on :)  Have fun!  

Thanks, Sheri, for your uplifting message. It is, after all, CHRISTmas--not Happy Holidays like so many merchants around here are saying. It seems that they are benefiting from all the customers purchasing CHRISTmas gifts, don't you think?

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to All!

Rad guy,

First I think all families are a bit dysfunctional.  I say this from experience, I could tell you stories that would make your family probably seem normal.  As a born again Christian for 30 some years now, I would have to argue with your nephew.  It sounds like he may belong to a way out church or cult.  Being married or single does not get you to heaven according to my Bible (King James Version).  John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.  

I believe is this, God made the way very simple, it is people who add things and try to make it complicated. 

You might ask him if he thinks the apostle Paul made it to heaven?  He was not married and actually he thought it better for a church worker not to be married because they could dedicate themselves to God. 

One more verse for you to use would be the following.

1 Peter 3:15
But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:

Some Christian forget that people find God through love, not being beat over the head.  It doesn't sound like your nephew is being meek, but a Bully.  This is not God's way.  God is a gentleman, who knock on the door of peoples hearts and waits for them to answer.  He does not break down the door.  He created us with free will, he is not going to force himself on us. 
Good Luck. 

Sandy

Just for presents, not for other things like decorations and food and stuff. 

We are a family of 4, kids age 2 and 5.  We also buy for my family (mom, dad, 3 sisters, brother) and his family kids (6 of them) and then we do 2 $25 gifts to exchange in a game.  Just wondering what everyone's budget looks like and what everyone spends.  We will probably spend about $1200 this year.  Is this outrageous?  It seems like a lot, but yes, our kids are spoiled

Someone just sent me this web page and my kids loved it. Has music attached to the web page too.

I have five accounts and usually get an average of a month's pay.  anywhere from 1700 to 200 per account. 

Decorate more than 1 Christmas tree around your house.  My cousin has 7.  I'm right now at 4 just cuz I like to do different things and I still have 1 that I'm deciding on for the basement.  I have a small fiber optic that has nativity ornaments, a 4-foot fiber optic that is an angel tree, a green (just lights) tree, and my regular 6 foot all the good old hand made and little kids ornaments.  So I'm wondering are we the only crazy ones or do other people have more than 1. 

A joyous Christmas season to you all.

Reminds me of when I was an office manager --

There was an employee who stated she was an atheist.  She was very persistent in boycotting anything to do with CHRISTmas.  Guess what?  She was the first one with her hand open when it came time to pass out CHRISTmas bonuses.  She also wrote "holiday pay" on her time card for CHRISTmas day.  Hmmmm...

and to all a goodnight.

       Merry Christmas EVERYONE!  Wow, Sheri, I am so happy to see that the owner of this board shares the same beliefs that I do.

I am sick of the people having to say CHRISTmas to get their point across. We all know what Christmas is without all that ___.
