The Town of Odyssey

How did my comment end up as a brand new thread??

That's a tough situation...I'll be praying for him, as well as you being with him during this time.

Indeed...I passed the tests. A LOT of stuff with the city/department is up in the air right now and really messed up, so I'm a little concerned right now...training is going alright, though I'm getting shuffled around a lot and not training as much as I'd like...but I'm still going, and I still like...

Praying for you, Termite, and glad to hear for your friend's dad, Sunshine!!

I finally, officially, have started my (basically) dream job, thoughbeit part-time. My foot is finally in the door and I might be able to get in full-time at the department...either way, I've been waiting and praying for this for years! And it is in a great location--don't have to move across the co...

John Chrysostom & Sherlock--don't take this as a criticism, just a curiosity question--where do you get this philosophy in the Bible?

Is it ok to use the term "gay" to describe both male and female homosexuals? The term "lesbian" came into my vocabulary much later in life (not sure why), so my initial thoughts upon hearing "gay" is synonymous with "homosexual" in a general way--just like whe...

BlimeyCow Special Wednesday Episode: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FlKbRmmYROE My thoughts exactly...my initial thought was NO, Disney will ruin them! Second thought was "oh wait, Lucas already did." As much as I always wanted a continuation from the originals, I now dread it. Even thoug...

What on earth?! How did all this fun happen in the 2 months I was gone?! :'( I missed it all. {sigh} And I lost my money without even being here to defend it. Not nice people!!

Thanks for the prayer...the first week was pretty rocky because they started training me then realized that they shouldn't have even certified me yet because i hadn't done two of the tests that the state requires. :-O But I got those done and passed, so I'm hoping this week goes a little more smooth...

How did it go, Bren? Make sure you let us know when you hear back from them! Even if you don't get the job, maybe they'll have something later, and either way, you get more interview experience. I've found that with each interview I do, I have a better idea of the kinds of things they will ask and ...

Just going to through this out there. There is a difference when it comes to "death" between the death of living breathing creatures and the death of things like plants. Nephesh chayyah is the hebrew phrase that refers to living creatures such as humans and animals, and is never used in r...

I really liked the movie, but agree with those who say Kristen Stewart can't act...it's not just in twilight that she's horrid...I was not happy that they used her for the role in the movie, but the movie was good overall.

Not specifically.
What's your favourite flower?

Not sure...I love Lilacs--the deep purple-blue ones though.

One of your least favorite chores is doing dishes.

I was saying the trees go into hibernation--not die. And I guess I'm being technical about stuff--that's how I am--but somehow I still think God created the seasons--even if it was not in His original plan for the earth, I still feel like the possibility exists that since He knew the earth would cha...

Thank you!

So...I finally landed the job of my dreams (thoughbeit part-time for now) as a police officer...I start Monday, though I still will have a couple tests to pass AND a few months of on the job training...so I'm freaking out. I really need prayer that I will first of all pass the psych test and physica...

Ok....my answers
1. F (for reasons most have answered--there are bits of truth in every religion, but Christianity holds most the pieces to the puzzle)
2. M - Nazarene/Wesleyan, with a few other tendancies
3. B - Moderate
4. B/D - Libertarian

And as for them being beautiful, we all think that. We're accustomed to them. Fall is my favorite, because of the weather, but all it is is the death of creation. How is that beautiful? It's beautiful when it comes back to life, but after thining about it I don't think that word works quite so well...

I liked Ron Paul, except for his foreign policy, and that's one of the main things I'm concerned about. I don't like either of the two current candidates, but I'm going for Romney only because I feel he is better than Obama. Donald Duck would make a better candidate than either of them! ;) LOL, tha...
