Have you ever wondered what we are losing in the name of technological advancement? It's 3:00am here and I am not sure what made me think of this as I wait to hear from my husband who had to leave in the middle of the night...

orcanut You're too right about it not being safe for some kids. We recently moved to the country and my daughter laughed because now she didn't have a curfew - her curfew was when the street lights came on too! I have too many letters to write now - sad fact is...

What if you had to choose between losing your sight or losing your hearing? Would you choose to never see your loved ones again or never again hear their voices? This was a tough one for me but I think I would choose to give up...

orcanut It was hard for me to choose as well, but since I posted the question, I figured I couldn't opt out and wait to see what everyone else said (which is what I thought of doing! *S*). I think you are right about being better able to adjust or cope with a...

orcanut This question was aired on our evening news as part of their ongoing "What If" segment. I thought it was a good question. That is so tough what you are going through. Will it be permanent hearing loss? I'll pray not. They say if you lose one sense, the...

orcanut LOL - lots of times I wish I could "tune out" my surroundings too! You're right about the beauty in the world. I have always said that I wish I had God's crayon box. They say a picture is worth a thousand words - that's why I chose to keep my sight.

I have always loved reading novels, being a voracious reader when I was young. When I feel down or depressed, nothing picks my spirit up more than reading an exciting romance novel. However, when I got married, my husband was so...

orcanut I haven't read a romance novel in years (I'm more into crime, mystery, etc. now) but what I do remember of them, it seems that the story is always more about the chase - the book always ends just as the guy gets the girl, then they live happily ever after and...

orcanut Does worrying count as an insecurity? if so, I win hands down. I worry about EVERYTHING! I suppose that I think if I imagine the worst, it will better prepare me if and when the worst happens. I know that it doesn't work that way and it does get in the way of...

orcanut I believe that there is a God. God as in a "real" person, perhaps not, but as in an entity, absolutely. I am a strong Christian and was brought up that way, but i guess I'd rather believe and be wrong than not believe and still be wrong! There are so...

orcanut I am a Christian and I think that everything we do is supposed to speak to our religion, set a good example etc. I think my dilemma is more that not enough of what I do reflects my religious beliefs or my Christianity.
