Have you or someone you love been touched by breast cancer?I had a friend who lost a breast last year. She is a mother to many children and has a full life. When this happened it all stopped everyone in their tracks.

My Dad wanting the best for me said I needed to wait until I finished college first. If I married the money would stop therefore I would not finish college. Let's just say it was a mistake on both my Dad and my part. We should have married earlier and Dad realized that after the fact.So...Would love to hear your arguments for or against. Did you marry early? If so how did it affect your marriage. Did you wait and was that mistake to wait?http://theblogfrog.com/253072/forum/1672/promoting-marriage-at-an-earlier-age.htmlThu, 06 Aug 2009 11:41:26 GMTDiscussions Questions:1.What are some of the sins that brought on God’s wrath? 2.Do we see any of those sins today? 3.What did God say will happen after God’s wrath is poured out?

Where do you purchase your school supplies?2. Do you wait until you receive the "teacher" supply list, or do you purchase things early?3. I need to purchase three backpacks, any suggestions? The ones we had all ripped by Christmas. Sigh..http://theblogfrog.com/253072/forum/1315/where-do-you-purchase-school-supplies.htmlWed, 22 Jul 2009 12:55:15 GMTI don't know about you but the characteristics of false prophets really stuck with me especially number three, Normal 0 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0in; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-ansi-language:#0400; mso-fareast-language:#0400; mso-bidi-language:#0400;} they are unstable, but look good on the outside. So how do we recognize people who look good on the outside but are unstable? You see how they react when they are tested! A true person's faith or characteristics boil to the top when they are put under fire. Just something to think about today. I pray for each person who reads this study, may you be blessed. Discussion Questions: 1.What did Zedekiah do that made God angry? 2.Who counseled Zedekiah? Did Zedekiah listen to him? 3.What was Zedekiah’s punishment? 4.What did God call false prophets? 5.How do we recognize the false prophets of our day?

Ezekiel 8-10 First Temple Vision http://theblogfrog.com/253072/forum/974/ezekiel-8-10-ezekiel's-first-temple-vision.htmlFri, 03 Jul 2009 00:49:26 GMTAsk away and I will try to answer as openly and honest as possible.http://theblogfrog.com/253072/forum/911/do-you-have-any-questions-for-me--.htmlTue, 30 Jun 2009 16:55:23 GMTI leave on Wednesday to go bass fishing. Well I don't really fish, but the boys do. We head to Minnesota near the Canadian border. It is quiet, peaceful and absolutely beautiful. Money is tight and we have been scrapping our pennies, but God has provided some great deals on hotels so I am excited. Once we arrive in Minnesota we stay at my in-laws cabin.So are you doing anything this summer?http://theblogfrog.com/253072/forum/817/do-you-have-any-vacation-plans.htmlFri, 26 Jun 2009 14:25:14 GMTGod's Prophesy Completed: Leviticus 26:18: And if in spite of this you will not listen to me, then I will discipline you again sevenfold for your sins.. Ezekiel 4:4-6: “Then lie on your left side, and place the punishment of the house of Israel upon it. For the number of the days that you lie on it, you shall bear their punishment. 5 For I assign to you a number of days, 390 days, equal to the number of the years of their punishment. So long shall you bear the punishment of the house of Israel. 6 And when you have completed these, you shall lie down a second time, but on your right side, and bear the punishment of the house of Judah. Forty days I assign you, a day for each year. This prophecy in Ezekiel is in reference to what was going to happen to both kingdoms for the sins listed in Ezekiel 22. This time frame was to include the captivity years and further on. The most amazing thing happens when you put these two sets of scripture together with the captivity and calculate it to Our Calendar from the Jewish Calendar. 390 years (Israel) +40 years (Judah) TOTAL of 430 years -70 years (already punished in Babylonian captivity--completed) 360 YEARS REMAINING Jewish calendar is 360 days even, due to 30 days x 12 months. Our calendar is 365.25 days, due to odd number of days in each month. To change our calendar from the Jewish calendar we must do the following: 360x7 years (Leviticus 26:18) = 2,520 years 2520 years x 360 days (Jewish year) = 907,200 days 907,200 divided by 365.25 (Our year) = 2483.8 years 2483.8 - 536.3 BC (out of captivity) + 1 (no year for 0 AD or BC) = 1948.5 Israel became a nation again on the 15th of the 5th month of the year 1948. Which is 05/15/1948. Exactly calculated to the year and month as prophesied. Does that mean we can determine when Christ is returning? NO! Discussion Questions:1. What was the one main sin that lead to all the other sins?2. In Ezekiel 22:3-11 we saw a list of sins Israel was committing. What are some of the sins we can add to the list from today?3. What is the one thing God was trying to communicate to His people? (Ezekiel 6:9)4. What are some of the idols people struggle with today?5.

(remember it and apply it to all you learn throughout this book.) 3.What does the vision of the four creatures represent? 4.Describe in your own words how you think Ezekiel felt after witnessing God’s glory, but at the same time seeing the wrath of God that is coming towards the nation he loves? 5.Many times we don’t witness to others because we “KNOW” how they are going to respond. We know they will shut us down. What is our responsibility towards non believers?

It is free and it is great. http://theblogfrog.com/253072/forum/593/seriouslife-magazine.htmlFri, 12 Jun 2009 11:41:49 GMTAfter I graduated from high school I turned around and was a discipleship leader for girls. I always had a desire to work either in a church or help women draw closer to God. But after that one year, God moved me and turned my life upside down. Things did not go as planned. This is where the seeds of false beliefs began to take root in my mind. It was not a conscious decision, it was more of a "well I guess God is not going to use me" attitude.God does not care about age, past, or circumstances, he only calls us to obedience. So in reference to Monday's post are there any beliefs you have settled into? I would have never believed God would use me in the capacity that he does right now. But I am so glad God is not limited to my imagination. =)http://theblogfrog.com/253072/forum/536/what-are-some-personal-beliefs-you-struggle-with-.htmlMon, 08 Jun 2009 10:05:52 GMTThe LORD your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing.”~ Zephaniah 3:17has always been what I consider my life verse.
