How much do our parents effect us adults? How much influence do our parents have on our adult lives? Is there an appropriate level of intrusion permitted from parents? What is your experience and thoughts?

familyguy The influence our parents have on us is life-lasting. They built the foundation that we stand on. As far as intruding, I don't think intrusion is permissable, but it also depends on your willingness to be coached. There were many times when I picked the phone...

familyguy For my wife and I, we had to "quit trying" before God blessed us with our three children. There are health barriers for some, weight sometimes matters, as does smoking and drinking. But for us it wasn't until we resolved to accept our plight, that God was able...

How important is your family to you?

hayashane27 @hayashane27 (153) • Philippines 11 Aug 08

Family is considered as the smallest unit of the society where love, nurturing and belongingness begins. Each and every person comes from a family. In this sense, how do you value your family? For me my family is the most...

familyguy Family is the foundation of society. When a society ignores the importance of family, you start to see dysfunction. It cannot sustain this dysfunction. I often think of the way it was centuries ago, when tribal factions were common. Everything else revolves...

sin, forgiveness, restoration

angusthethird @angusthethird (515) • United States 10 Aug 08

Supposed someone sinned against you really badly. By accident or on purpose. They beg your forgiveness. They value your friendship--or love, if it happens to be a marital or dating relationship involved. You forgive them...

familyguy Forgiveness and trust are totally seperate issues. If someone committed a trespass against you, you should forgive them. But you should always be aware that they are human and the same circumstances may arise again, resulting in a repeat of the infraction....

Why do Religious discussions have to turn ugly?

Erilyn @Erilyn (3020) • United States 8 Aug 08

This discussion was sparked off by a discussion a friend of mine posted, and by no means is this intended to be a forum for people to bash each other. I typically do not get involved in religous disscussions here on myLot,...

familyguy I have heard it said that man created religion, while God created salvation. There is only one truth, and our motivation should be in reaching that truth. It is with arrogance and pride that man seems to think he can find it for himself. The nastiness enters...

familyguy The internet gives us all a sense of anonymity. Most of the people you are interacting with probably aren't who they say they are. That's one of the attractions to online socialization. It allows for everyone to be more than they think they are in reality. The...

familyguy I've always divided the world up into givers and takers. We all know people that are more giving than most, and those that are so self-absorbed they wouldn't give anything. I think that the ratio that I would want to be known for is about 60/40, leaning...
