Star Signs

Ok, so, on blogger, you enter your birthday, and it gives you a star sign. Now, as Christians, star signs are automaticly seen as a taboo. I mean, its what mediums and fortune tellers use to predict the future. Horoscopes and all that stuff.

Right? Wrong?

God said He was the one and only God, and we are to worship only Him. And part of that is trusting in him to reveal what He wants to reveal in time, and not try to interpret it from the stars.

Divorce

Ok, so, in Bible class we have this thing called "round table". We ask questions and then as a class we answer them.

One question that came up recently was this: "How come most Christians think that marriage after divorce is fine, even though the Bible states otherwise?"

Tough one eh?

But God specifically stated that "what God has joined together let no man separate". He states that the only reason one should divorce from their spouse is adultery. Death is an obvious answer, if your spouse dies, you are free to marry again. Paul said that one would be able to divorce their spouse if the spouse was an un believer, and they ran off with another person.

Another question to ask is this: "What if there is abuse going on in the marrital relationship?"

My Bible teacher gave this answer: Take the wife away (assuming that she is the one being abused) to a place where the husband can't get to her. Get her the physical and mental help she needs. Start the two of them on therapy, and then try and get them back together again eventually.

Lucas and Dave have been making blog posts similar to this, but even before they started their "series" I wanted to post on this, I just hadn't gotten around to it.

So what do you people think? Divorce... right, wrong? why?

Air Guitars....

Now, at least once in our life, each of us have pretended to be an absolute master at guitar, well, our childhood dreams may be about to come true.

Scientists have created a shirt that picks up movements and transmits them (wirelessly) to a computer. Then it creates the sound. Fun eh?


Heres where i found it:

Air guitarists hide a new trick up their sleeves

In Pictures

So, I was looking for a spanish article on the BBc website when I found this:

South African Mothers With Cameras

I just was hit by how it wasn't buttered up with politics, or begging for the cure, it was simply stating how life is for those with HIV. The images weren't photoshoped, they weren't set up. They were real. Thats what hit me the most.

Courtship....

Ok, dating. Its a normal part of life. But how does one go about it, and who do you date? Ok: imagine this. You see the most stunning girl/guy in a café, do you go up and talk to them, or desperately hope that somehow serendipity will bring you together?

Ok, this amazingly cute gal stops, and asks if she can get by you. Do you: A-Smile stupidly and let her pass...
B-Come up with a smart sounding comment asking for her number.....
C-Bow courteously, and allow her to pass, but as she walks away you grab her atention and ask for her name...

What would you do?

When do you think a person should even start dating?

Should you date to find the person you will marry, or just for fun?

Dating.... the variables.

Curious Stories

Ok, call it a writers whim, but for the moment I have closed up Curious Stories. It still shows up, but I won't be posting on it for a long while... Scarlet and the gang are recieving another re-write.
