I hope they use your pictures, will they pay you if they do?
You sure are going to be very busy the next couple of months.

I think they'll use your pic...
That sounds so awesome! Busy, though... but busy's not bad.

You'll do fine, Slushie.
How many siblings does everyone have? I have a sister, a year and a half younger. She's unmarried, but she has a married daughter (age 31) and a daughter who just turned 18.

I have a twin and we may not "chat" a lot, but we've always had a very special bond. My mom said that when one of us was sick and had to stay home from school when we were little, the one who was sick would sit by the window and wait for the bus to drop the other one of us off. Then we would start yelling "S/he's home! S/he's home!". It was funny to hear as an adult that my brother did this too. I just remember having to walk the long lane to the bus stop alone and being really bummed that my brother wasn't with me.
Oh, and when we headed off to college, we headed separate directions. I was ok until our birthday came around. See, it wasn't MY birthday, it was OUR birthday. I know that seems strange because most people don't want to "share" their special day, but it was "our" day - not "my" day. I was actually getting a little depressed. Fortunately, I had some amazing college friends who threw me 2 separate surprise parties (and when they realized what they did, they combined them at the last minute) and were so cool!

Sorry we missed you, Mike. Hope next week works. If things go well, the week after that we'll be taking two teens from church (Young Chess Pro and his sister) to Boston, hopefully to do some Freedom Trail stuff. At some point, we want to go to the Back Bay with a neighbor from our building; he used to live (or work) in that area, and he offered to show us around.
Yes, I am sorry I missd the both of you as well! And models now, eh? Cool beans! 
Next week I am on vacation Tues-Friday. Tuesday will be the only day (besides Monday) that I will be around. I am going to DC 'til the end of the week after that instead.

Good to see you, Rachel.
Mike...hmm! So far, rain is predicted Tuesday, so I'm not sure we could make it. We'll email you soon. The weather really should cooperate with my wheelchair repair schedule, don't you think?
Sue, I'm sorry things with your sister aren't better. That's sad. My sister and I would be closer if she was a Christian, I think. But I'm as close to her as a Christian could be to a non-Christian. It saddens me when others don't have the bond we do.
Kristin, your post made me smile.
So what are all of your thoughts on close relationships with non-Christians? At what point can a Christian cross the line into compromise? When is a relationship an unequal yoke?

I have friendships with co-workers and neighbors, but nothing really close. I'm not going to join them at the bars, and we're not going to discuss the details of their love lives the way they would with non-Christian friends.
Jake and Joe have non-Christian friends. The non-Christians they hang out with seem to accept our rules for the most part. In fact, they are often more accepting than the "Christian" kids. I'm more concerned for them to refrain from dating non-Christians. That's not an issue right now. Joe is not interested in dating and Jake has sworn off relationships since the Marla fiasco. I hope they heed my advise when they do start looking.

.... Are you talking romantic or non-romantic relationships, DebbieLynne? I answered the questions viewing them as non-romantic....
In my experience... relationships with non-Christians are important... sometimes God uses those relationships to win a non-Christian to Christ...
At what point can a Christian cross the line into compromise?
.
.
.
.... I think it's very important for the Christian to be grounded in Christ... always remembering why we are here on this earth.... compromise needs to be weighed out and prayed about...
When is a relationship an unequal yoke?
.
.
.
..... from the start... any relationship with a non-Christian is unequally yoked...

well, yeah, in the sense that you have different standards on different issues.

It always scares me when Christians date or marry non-Christians. Looking back, though, I no longer believe the man I dated before John was truly saved. I excused much of his behavior because he'd had a tramatic brain injury...and because (to be honest) I thought it was my only chance for marriage. I was 43, and he was the first man to express attraction to me. Really, though, he liked my money. I shudder to think what my life would be now, had I married him! God is merciful!

My college pastor had a great way of putting it - you can have relationships with non-believers but that relationship is different from what you have with a Christian. With a non-believer, your relationship will be purely a servant relationship (you are there to serve them with nothing in return). It won't be give and take as in our believing friendships. That's one reason I've never seen a believer-nonbeliever marriage work. A marriage requires both to be able to give and receive. You can't have a strictly servant relationship in a marriage before you either seriously burn out or you compromise.
So, I have friends who are not believers. However, my relationship with them will never be like my relationships with my believer friends. The burden to bear is all my own in a relationship with a non-believer.
Does that make any sense?

It was fun, though!
And the boys still think girls have cooties. 
Like the time she was playing race-car driver with her pushing my wheelchair around the house at break-neck speeds. We put quite a hole in the wall! 
I think she tried in the beginning, but my mom is the type that hovers over babies. She made me nervous around my own children, always gasping and saying things like, "Don't drop them! What out!..........." I'm sure it was hard for Kay to have a little sister and be yelled at every time she came near me. I always wished we could be close, but K won't let me get close to her. It doesn't matter what I say or do, she's always sure I'm trying to offend her. She's that way with her husband and daughter too. It's very sad.
I can't do that. But at the same time, I'm there for them when they need someone to talk to. I try to encourage them to look for something more than what's immediately around them... and we can talk about other things. 
I can't encourage them to fast for 72 hours.
