I thought, what to answer? I didn't want to say something negative, but I didn't want to confuse her... http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=370994 http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=370994 Mon, 01 Oct 2007 14:24:33 EST So, I am in a grateful mood. Maybe because after my husband did a bunch of laundry and dishes on Monday... Or maybe its because we're expecting a baby! I always wanted four children. Thank you G-d for bringing another soul into our life. http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=370993 http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=370993 Mon, 01 Oct 2007 14:23:34 EST If teens are putting off sex, they should have a valid option if they have gotten pregnant: like getting married, and knowing that their life is still on track. Why is our country so not family friendly???? Why can't a person start a family at a young age and still expect to get an education and go on to a well-earning job--why renegade all people who have accidentally or purposely ended up with a family at a young (college or younger) age to a life of struggle. It could be all solved with government grants and quality government-sponsored childcare. http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=281615 http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=281615 Mon, 23 Jul 2007 19:54:46 EST I guess there is a big difference from me doing all I can, and then designating "tasks" for those in the family to do their share in housework, and me just getting lazy sometimes and letting other people do things--in that case, if I get mad about someone in the family not doing something, I am in the wrong because I have not done all of my share. Good. Glad to figure that one out. http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=125531 http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=125531 Tue, 01 May 2007 16:44:13 EST We idolize our relationships (oh, if only he/she liked me) We idolize material things (if I had this car/house/etc I could be happy and at peace) All this can be taken away. Only inner peace survives-- http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=83998 http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=83998 Thu, 05 Apr 2007 14:38:04 EST I had been Eastern Orthodox for 5 plus years, then I began actually going to church regularly, singing in the choir, enjoying it all...and after about a year, I wanted to really get deeper--I prayed regularly as I could, using the correct books, but it didn't have a good hold on me--and so I tried a couple of times to talk to the priest, and although a very kind and moral man, he didn't really have any practical advice. (Maybe I thought he was a Rabbi? to give me day to day practical advice)... So I decided to read the Bible, here I came upon, almost immediately (in the book of Genesis) some confusing things about giants that were possibly marrying the daughters of G-d??? And there were these Nephilim giants as well, or something else entirely. First clue that the Bible cannot stand on it's own--only much later did I find out about Talmud. Okay, so I tell my husband, we can't figure anything out between us, and we ask the priest, and he says, "oh yes, everybody has thought up various answers to that, it's already been explored," but that's not really helpful. http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=83997 http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=83997 Thu, 05 Apr 2007 14:36:34 EST A person who is logical may be rational or irrational, as well as a person who is emotional may be rational or irrational--but women and men (to my understanding) are meant to each hold one of these two positions. http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=44082 http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=44082 Mon, 19 Feb 2007 13:56:58 EST I am in the middle of a change, as always. but I'd probably say the end of the beginning of the change that I am making, and the beginning of everything. http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=44081 http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=44081 Mon, 19 Feb 2007 13:53:15 EST Hopefully I can meet some people online in the blog community who would give feedback on what it's like to grow up in this day and age knowing that you're Jewish, and being a part of the culture. http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=44080 http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=44080 Mon, 19 Feb 2007 13:51:56 EST I always want somebody to take responsibility for those things that I truly would like to be my responsibility... http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=42698 http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=42698 Sat, 17 Feb 2007 02:30:36 EST
