Comments for Something Greater http://somethinggreaterblog.wordpress.com Colossians 3:12-14}} Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony.

It is more fun to do everything in skirts. I am a senior in high school and love to wear skirts and be a witness in my public school.

Just wondering if you ever thought about how each one of these children were destined to be on this earth at this time and are and will be touching many others lives for good. Which one would you eliminate from that privilege? People can give life – not just suck it.

BTW: Jim Bob and Michelle know all about birth control and lost one child due to complications caused by it.

He wanted us to nurture it, and take care of it, because it is a gift as is every child, which is why there should be less so each can have the love and attention and, most importantly, one-on-one time that they deserve.

The problem is greed and not following the Bible which says that children are a blessing from Him.”
Please read a book. The world IS overpopulated. I do think it aiding society when there is already an overpopulated six billion people on earth. The more people the earth holds, the more the life is sucked out of it. The earth simply cannot provide more than what the world is asking of it. I don’t understand why Mrs. Duggar doesn’t find another purpose – other than lying on her back and having babies. Where does it say in the Bible to pop out as many children as you possibly can with your spouse? No where! & If you interpret it as such, then your IQ must be at about a nice 60. Eve was told to populate, thats when there was no one on earth but her and Adam (according to a literal interpretation of Genesis). I would be really annoyed if I was born into a family where I was neglected. & if you honestly believe that each child gets the attention that they deserve, then you must be crazy. There is no possible way that two parents can devote equal or adequate time to each child if there is SEVENTEEN of them. Even if the older siblings do spend time with the younger ones, sometimes you just need your parent. And if she likes kids so much, why doesn’t she adopt some less fortunate child who is starving to death? Or open up a nursery? I’m sorry, but I honestly think its repulsive that two people have made so many lives together and I think they need some form of birth control if they cannot keep from having intercourse.

]]> Comment on So Much More- The Long Awaited Book Review by K.M. http://somethinggreaterblog.wordpress.com/2007/05/03/so-much-more-the-long-awaited-book-review/#comment-488 Tue, 24 Jun 2008 22:48:32 +0000 http://somethinggreaterblog.wordpress.com/2007/05/03/so-much-more-the-long-awaited-book-review/#comment-488 Hi Natasha.

I , uh, know this is post was written a while ago, but I wondered, did you give up your dream to go to Uganda because of “So Much More”?

If you did, I’d like to encourage you to read a book on women in ministry called “Why Not Women?” by Loren Cunningham (founder of YWAM) and David Hamilton. They go back to the original language and time period the Bible was written in to explain some tricky verses about women that have so often been misunderstood, taken out of context, and twisted. I found it extremely interesting. I hope you check it out.

If you do, maybe you’d like to do a book review on it. Whether you agree with the authors or not. Ha.

I just found this blog myself! Heck, I haven’t explored half of it but I already like seeing someone with a level head on their shoulders. That seems far too much in short supply these days.
You take care and God bless you’! :D

We’re to love the Lord our God with all our heart, soul, MIND, and strength. It is not proud to want that for yourself.

Like Anna, I understand your reasons though.

May God bless you in all that you do and as He leads you onto Something even Greater!
