chit chat that day

Candy corn.. the smell makes me nauseous. The thought of them makes me nauseous actually. I tried them once and gagged and spit them out. But I still like you, Heather.

Yeah, a couple weeks before I was due I ate a whole oreo ice cream cake by myself over a few days... I think that was the week I gained 5 pounds...

Wow... I want to see the Obama thread(s) too.
@ Surrendra- I tried to honestly imagine what in the world I would do if I truly felt God telling me to vote for someone that supported abortion. My gut screamed "No, I wouldn't do it. I couldn't do it! It's NOT God!" And I realized if God really did tell me that, I would be... struggling with it for a long hard bloody time.
If I had to pick one topic to vote on, it would be abortion. I vote a resounding no on abortion. Nothing else is conceivable to me knowing what I know. I'd give my life for that cause and I only know a little bit of God's heart about it.
Anyway, I would love to see those threads.

This is an ongoing issue in our house too... Andrew wants a bigger tv. I want no tv. Yet here it stands in the family room with all our furniture facing it and here I sit watching it because it's available... feeling more and more hungry for something, not what I'm "feeding" myself. And we have a spiritual battle going on that I think might be related to it. You just had to go poking, Mindy! Thanks a lot!
I want Andrew to get on here because I know there's an interesting argument on the other side.. but don't feel I can represent it well. Think it goes something like this- "Don't be so silly!" :) Just kidding...
Really what I question is if it's legalism, for some at least. I'm aware of where my heart is on it and probably need to follow it better... but...
Side note: Isn't "shambara" kinda a substitute curse word like "oh my goodness" :) With swearing I make sure I'm not "taking the Lord's name in vain" throwing it around like crazy in unnecessary ways. I've taught Drew it's important to respect God and not say His name like that. But when I'm really angry and am "having it out" with God or having a good argument with Andrew I don't balk at using... strong... words. As for the other times, I personally think using curse words casually is silly, only thing I get from it is a sense of being cool. I don't need that. I'm already way cool. Heheh.
I think there's a place for both though and haven't given either up. Maybe this thread will change me but yeah, I want to hear the other side because I know it's there.
I do feel one tactic of the enemy is to get us to isolate ourselves from non-Christians and get into extremism. And I come from a home that was once way off the deep end in legalistic churches where they only wore skirts, didn't celebrate holidays because there was an element of each that wasn't Christian, and wouldn't go to Drs because God was there Physician etc etc...
Basically the heart and relationship issues have to be what reigns, and in my opinion, it's different for different people. Maybe. Like I said, I can't represent the other side well and so far the convo is one-sided so I'm trying to mix it up a little.
