  1. I have a '97 Pontiac Grand Am... but i hate it! I think it's haunted... So I can usually be found sportin my sweet '08 Diamondback Edgewood! It is great for brisk winter morning rides.
  2. You see, this is where I think the disagreement arises. From what I've read in your posts, you seem to believe someone who is not totally devoted can be considered a fence sitter, even after making a choice. I would say that once a choice is made, no matter the level of devotion, the person is removed from fence sitter status. In my mind, the fence sitter is neutral, and on either side is a spectrum ranging from barely devoted to completely devoted. I would even go so far as to say it is impossible for anyone to ever be a "fence sitter." Matthew 12:30 tells us "He that is not with me is against me..." Even in not making a choice, you have still made a choice. It is the Lord's side with whatever degree of devotion, or satan's.
  3. JBS- So does Heavenly Father's opinion not matter to you then?
  4. Here are some of my thoughts on the issue: I imagine that if marriage would last for this life only, it would be of no eternal consequence. Lately, I have been thinking a little bit about Christ's relationship with us as His people. Many times throughout the scriptures we hear that as a people, we are the bride, and Christ is the bridegroom. “For thy Maker is thine husband; the Lord of hosts is his name” (Isa. 54:5) "I sware unto thee, and entered into a covenant with thee, saith the Lord God, and thou becamest mine." (Ezek. 16:8) To me, just by rights of comparing our relationship with Christ to marriage shows that marriage is important. He entered into a covenant with us as a people that if we will obey, we will become "joint-heirs with Christ...that we may be also glorified together." (Rom. 8:17) This covenant is everlasting. If marriage were not everlasting as well, why would He compare something as powerful as our relationship with Him to something so weak that it will not last beyond this life? In my mind, marriage must be as eternal as our relationship with Christ is to be.
  5. We couldn't leave our rooms Christmas morning until my dad came and brought us out, which was never before 9am. I can't tell you how many seconds I counted trying to pass the time from way early in the morning when I would wake up until my dad would come get me to open presents all those years!
  6. With just the fact that the people are on the earth now, we know that they made some sort of conscious effort to follow Christ. Even if they weren't extremely valiant in this conviction, I would say that removes them from fence sitter status. In my mind, a fence sitter doesn't make a decision at all. Those in the spirit world either chose to follow Heavenly Father's plan or not- no fence involved.
  7. As a general policy, I try to stay away from soda completely. I've found I feel much better drinking just water than I ever did on soda. Plus, I don't even have to worry about whether what I am drinking goes against the WoW.
  8. you're old too!! lol I was born in 1990 (lds as well)
  9. I agree completely. I have never had a problem sleeping a day in my life, but I find myself staying awake just so I get get a little more studying in or spend some time with my family after a hectic day. There's never enough time to do everything I want and unfortunately, sleep always comes last!
