I think it's pretty clear that the love of God is unending and unfaltering, regardless of how the person feels or acts.

Other chemistry nuts may find this fascinating. Glory to God for all things, and the knowledge of His universe! "It may look like a piece of honeycomb, but this lattice-shaped image is the first ever close-up view of a single molecule. Scientists from IBM used an atomic force microscope (AFM)...

Ba-zing.

You've posted that link THREE times in this topic. Lol As for me, I like my meat cooked, my milk boiled, and my fish in the style that the British eat it.  :D

Oh, little kids running through the Royal Doors into the sanctuary is almost commonplace at my church. Then the priest usually just smiles, picks the child up, and continues with the Liturgy until the parents come to get them. Haha

Excellently said!!

While my priest DID attempt to set me up once (Lol), it hasn't happened since, and I'm not sure how common it is. IMO, date whomever and worry about the conversation later.  :D

LOL, the last picture is excellent

We have a similar program taught at the military college I go to, taught by a 55yo woman and ex-marine captain. "Uncommon courtesy" is the motto they go by, and it's definitely a big help in teaching respect to the students.

It's a rhetorical question that I asked, and the answer is No, it doesnt, because nothing can so long as it does not affect the doctrine of the Trinity, Creed, etc. Now, I dont want to get into a slippery slope here (though I'm sure someone living in the realm of hyperbole would love to drag it...
