My wife made about $2000 a year more than I did when child #2 joined us.  She quit and I took on a part time job to take up the minimum amount needed.  We have never had financial problems.  I "blame" tithing. 

I think it does, or at the very least is placing oneself on the pathway that leads there.  This belief is in direct contradiction to the Gospel and modern revelations.
 
"The Family: A Proclamation to the World" defines the official position of the church on family, marriage, gender roles, and human sexuality.
Some key points from the Proclamation:
Marriage between a man and a woman is ordained of God.
The family is ordained of God and central to God's plan.
As a beloved spirit son or daughter of Heavenly Parents, each person has a divine nature and destiny.
Gender is an essential characteristic of human identity before, during, and after life on Earth.
Children are entitled to birth within the bonds of matrimony, and to be reared by a father and a mother who honor marital vows with complete fidelity.
Sexual relations are sacred and properly take place only between a married man and woman.
Procreation is divinely appointed, and therefore life is sacred and an important part of God's plan.
Disintegration of the family will bring "calamities foretold by ancient and modern prophets."

Your "potshot" was exactly that.  A roundabout personal attack.  It was unnecessary.  Your points could have been made without reference to Eowyn.

I've read through this website before and it did nothing but confirm to  me that the Lord loves all His children and so do the leaders of our church.  Even the latest policy on excommunication and not baptizing children in gay households are measures of compassion and love.  So when someone speaks in such caustic terms about this or other hot button topics, basically criticizing our leaders, It raises a red flag in my mind and feels like they are taking a step into apostasy. 
My hardest issue is when those close to me start talking this way. I'm usually so dumbfounded I don't know how to respond. My bubble is bursting. My own convictions and testimony remain intact but I wonder if I should warn those loved ones how close to the cliff they are getting. 
Gay marriage just happens to be the ever present topic that is tripping so many up. And it seems I'm one who hasn't "seen the light" yet. I have a feeling the social pressure surrounding this will only get harder rather than easier.

Ok.... name an important man... that lived 2000+ years ago...  I am sure you can name quite a few....  Now name their spouse... who only claim to fame is that they were married...
How many do you got?    If you got more then zero you have impressed me...  The simple fact is spouses are not historically important.
 
The case against Christ being married is...
the is no 2000 year old mention of that happening...  Which is totally typical for that kind of record...
 
The case for Christ being married is... 
Sealing is a required Ordinance like Baptism... Christ did one to fulfill all righteousness but not the other?  That makes no sense
The Bride Groom is responsible for the wedding wine... Christ handled the wedding wine by turning water into wine
Jewish rabbis were traditionally married before they start ministering... Of all the accusations leveled against Christ non were of the nature that he neglected "Family duties"
When he resurrected the first person he showed himself was to a woman.... Not the apostles, not the church leaders to be, but a woman...  What kind of woman would have such a rightful claim on Jesus's attention and priorities?  It was not his mother, or any of his sisters.
 
Yes there is no direct claim that Jesus was married... but there plenty of things that suggest exactly that if you understand the historical context of what is going on.
 
 

The remember me kind of already worked.  Just that the system would keep timing us out. That's why when you hit sign in it signed you right back in instead of having to put in your password and username over and over.  
It's the timing out issue that got fixed.   Thank goodness.

Tell the weirdo that you already sold it, then block his number.

Your grass is in excellent shape!
 
I like grassy yards.  We have three backyard trees, a vegetable garden, roses, roses, some more roses and a "flower garden" in front.

When I sell something like that...it's the first person that gets to my house that gets it.  I don't have time for games.  I usually put in my ad that there are no holds.

Yea I think a small point 40K battle in those city tiles would be fun.  We once played a game in the old Space Hulk corridor tiles too.  That was fun.

Heh just 2 more and you have a regulation 40,000 table...  which would be awesome.
...or Age of Sigmar... which would make me throw up a little in my mouth.

Uhhhh....does Aragorn know about all this?

Ah ok.  So they're 24" on a side, right?  I'm seeing those same 4 tiles serving as a cool board for Warmachine as well.

This is my second Mordheim tile (2x2).  I plan on making four total which can be faced any direction to alter the make up of the terrain.

Yep!  You assemble and paint miniatures like the ones you've been seeing in this thread.  This is what a game might look like on a completed board:

@mirkwood I'm really diggin' that tile.  So is it your plan to build a few of these and just arrange them on the table at gametime, or just use it by itself?

Heh - I remember your story about the cold burrito.  I once got a speeding ticket from a cop in the pouring rain, and remember thinking what it would be like if he had to do like accident cleanup or something and had to stand out there for hours.  And if you spend a few hours learning about what cops do, you learn it's waaaay too much paperwork, and if they do it wrong it means someone walks.
Sort of my main point (which was probably lost), was that soldiers' jobs are very different from cops.  And if you think clothing and equipment makes the difference, you're thinking silly things and need to stop it.

That only applies to the swords and maybe my knives.
