What do you think?

How do you feel about Grandparent's spanking your kids?

Grandparents should have respect for the desires of the parents. I mean, most have the maturity and common sense to realize that every parent has different techniques, and that their children won't parent their own kids exactly as they parented them. I think spanking is a very personal choice a lot of people are not comfortable with, and absolutely no one should just assume they have the right to smack a child who is in their care. They need to receive permission from the parent.

LOVE. Is there such a thing as love, or is it just another kind of fairytale painted to mislead us all? What is the difference between caring and loving? Can one really be totally 'in love' with someone?

“When you look at love, you're looking into the face of appreciation.”
Throughout the history of mankind, we as a world culture have made love out to be mysterious, complex, difficult, and undefinable. It’s the subject of endless poems and literary works. There is an enormous amount of material available out there about love, a lot of it contradictory.

We’ve been given the impression that to define love is near to impossible. Maybe there’s a fear that if we define it, it would somehow be less powerful...less impactful...less exhilarating. Maybe we like the mystery of it. But is it really that complicated? Perhaps the complications surrounding love come from all “stuff” we add on to this powerful emotion. Lets drop all the baggage surrounding relationships and define what it is we are experiencing in the moment of love.

Love is Accepting.
Acceptance is labeling someone as "okay" and having no particular desire to change them. Who they are is perfectly fine with you. You pose no condition on whether you will love them or not. This is call unconditional love. When your love IS conditional, the moment they step outside your set of conditions, love evaporates.

Love is Appreciating.
Appreciation is one step beyond acceptance. Its when your focus is on what you like about another. We look at them and feel this sweeping appreciation for who they are, their joy, their insights, their humor, their companionship, etc. When someone says they are "in love" with another, they mean their appreciation is so enormous for this person that it consumes their every thought.

True Love

True love tell me what your thoughts are on it, the limits, does it exist?

Can true love break through anything hiding your emotions...
Can true love cause you to die without them...
Can true love make you slowly break down into a mental state...
Can true love help you fight against anything (you know like in the movies, they take bullet after bullet and they don't go down because they are determined to protect a loved one)

Do you believe your first love can be your true love?

For me true love is when you can say, and honestly mean, that you would do anything for someone without question except a few things. When you know you would give your life for theirs without thought. When you would sacrifice your happiness, your wants, your needs, your life too give them just one good day. All without asking for anything. To me that is true love, even if it is not returned. I don’t believe true love has a limit, but if it does it would be your breaking point.

I believe you may love many people in your life in a romantic way, but you can only ever be in love with one. Yes I believe your first love can be your true love in some cases.

What difference does it mean to Christians to know that they can never be separated from God's love?

It produces a blessed hope! Not the kind that says, "I hope I get a new ______." That's a wishful kind of hope. I'm talking about a favorable and confident expectation. It has to do with the unseen and the future.

If we lose our hope, we have nothing!

I Pet. 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a LIVING HOPE through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.

Titus 2:11-13 For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, 12 teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age, 13 looking for the BLESSED HOPE and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ.

II Thess. 2:16, 17 Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and our God and Father, who has loved us and given us everlasting consolation and GOOD HOPE by grace, 17 comfort your hearts and establish you in every good word and work.

Heb. 6:17-20 Thus God, determining to show more abundantly to the heirs of promise the immutability of His counsel, confirmed it by an oath. 18 that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we might have strong consolation (encouragement), who have fled for refuge to LAY HOLD OF THE HOPE (confidence) set before us. 19 This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which enters the Presence behind the veil, 20 where the forerunner (Jesus) has entered for us, even Jesus, having become High Priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.

Rom. 8:24, 25 For we were saved in this hope, but hope that is seen is not hope; for why does one still hope for what he sees? 25 But if we hope for what we do no see, then we eagerly wait for it with perseverance.

Do You Notice White Women Dye Their Hair As Much As Black Women Relax Their Hair?

I hate sounding all typical comparing Whites and Blacks like this but, don't you notice?

People are afraid Whites are going to be extinct. Well, they already are! Everywhere you look there is a blonde woman.........with brown roots.

What is it that White woman dye their hair so much, any color to be exact?

Again I'm not shifting focus or being a racist ignorant, but I was just wondering?

Any thoughts?

Why is the focus so much on the Black woman who relax or weave their hair?
