Her TestimonyDeep in her heart she could feel the end was near. However, the sacrament of marriage meant everything to her, and she was not willing to give up on hers. After all these years his last words spoken to her still cut like a knife piercing her soul, "I hope I never see you again!" Little did he know that his wish w... More..
Jobs & Careers > Online Surveys & Pay to Click Best survey sites: 2 of 6
Survey sites are a great way to make a little additional income (in these rough economic times we all know that some money is better than no money at all). These sites will not make you rich, and no you will not make enough money to quit your job and do this for a living. However, if you wouldn't mind earning a little extra c... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Death Penalty Is the death penalty an effective crime deterrent?: 43 of 118
The answer to this question is a definite NO! The death penalty is actually too good for criminals. If you are dead you cannot truly pay your debt to society for the crime or crimes you have committed. You cannot repent or even think about the wrong you have done because you are dead! You could care less one way or the other.... More..

Religion & Spirituality > Christian Beliefs & Culture Priests should be permitted to marry: 54 of 90
Yes priests should be permitted to marry. God never said that a priest was not allowed to marry. As a matter of fact, if you read Leviticus 21:13, God specifically states that a priest shall take a wife in her virginity. He did state, however, in Leviticus 21:14 that a widow, a divorced woman, or one who is profaned by harlot... More..
Relationships & Family > Parents When parents don't agree with your choice in a significant other: 21 of 32
This is a topic I could write a book about. When your parents don't agree with your choice in a significant other, it is their problem and not yours. YOU know what you want in a mate and YOU know what makes you happy. Family is a wonderful thing to have; however, not one family member can give you the companionship, happiness... More..

How To Keep Records That Work To Your BenefitCustomer service is a dying breed - everywhere you look in each and every industry. We can find examples of this at the grocery store, where virtually every checkout stand is "self check". We see it at our favorite fast food restaurants. We particularly see it at those businesses (... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Christian Doctrine & Issues Does God know the future?: 20 of 21
Yes God knows the future, and there is no doubting that He reigns supreme. God created the heavens and the earth. He created man and woman. He created the fish and animals. If God was able to create all of these things, it stands to reason that He would already know what would become of each and every one of them. God has sho... More..
