Attractive Currency

So im going to be gone this weekend. Even so, here's the question of the week. Ask a Dad, brother, guy friend near you.

How do you, as a husband/brother/friend, think women are viewed in todays sexually twisted society? and what are some ways that we can show respect to the woman around us?

Would love to hear what you guys think.

Building Backwards?

Now this next question is a bit of a mouthful so just bear with me. Its a multi-question...uhh question.

How does the older generation(parents age) view the younger generation(my age)? And what are your hopes/fears in how we are so much different in our views/goals/lifestyle? What do you think we value and how is that changing our society?

Forgiveness VS Stubborness

So Shaina and I started this thing, where we pose a question for the weekend. And over the weekend, we ask various people who we come in contact with, the QOTW (question of the week). Now if its at all possible, and with your permission, i would like to hear your responses. I shall post the question over the weekend after the commitee (shaina and I) have come up with a suitable question. And i would like to hear your response(use the blog as a sort of forum for debate or opinions)

Last weekend we asked the question,

"Why is it so hard for us to accept Forgiveness/Salvation?"

The most common answer we came up with was Pride. The idea that, we think it is something that we need to earn and not just recieve, or that we are just too plain stubborn to give up control or our lives.

The best way that i heard it described, is that it is a free gift that costs us absolutely everything. Lets be honest, I like being in control of my life. I don't really have the slightest clue as to what is good for me... but i like being able to choose. Who knew freewill would be such a pain.

We know what we need, but we also know what we want, and they all to often turn out to be two totally different things. So our pride gets in the way when we think that we know better than God does when it comes to what we need.

I know from personal experiece, that it's something i dont think i deserve. I can't comprehend that no matter what I do, no matter how many times I do it, i'm still no further away from being forgiven than i was before.

And i don't understand that, I see it through human eyes and mindset. I think that "oh, well i did it again, God must really be getting annoyed with this constant yo-yoing of my spiritual faith". But He's not.

These are just a few things that Shaina and I came up with. If you have anything you would like to add, it would be more than welcome.
