Worry. Do you worry? Why worry about things you cannot control? :idontno:

Just leave it in
God's hands!

2000 years of inter-Christian warfare over differing interpretations of Jesus Christian says the idea is anything but easy.

I'm worried, very worried that your solution to worry and concern may spark a religious war.
Very good point, and if their is only one God, by definition, all of these religious people fighting wars for thousands of years in the name of God, long before Jesus was even born, they are all killing their brethren in the name of God. Kind of silly if you ask me.

Yeah, Barb, you cannot leave. You added this exciting thread, and I'm sure more will follow. It is nice to hear others' thoughts, even if we all don't agree.

Therein lies the problem. Ghandi himself said it best, Christians want to believe in Jesus, but not act like Jesus. The organized religion today is a far cry from what Jesus did and taught. Keep in mind he said follow me (i.e. do like me) not worship me.

I agree.

History is full of great people who have lived amazing lives and can offer guidance and inspiration to all of us.

This does not mean we need to worship these individuals.

But, beware...you might just have to enjoy them on my balcony!!! :cool:

Is this the (in)famous F balcony?:blink:

Many bakers worry over their product being good. Maybe they should skip cooking classes and pray to the Lord Baby Jesus. :idontno:

Ironically - some of the best cooks in my family are the ones that worry the most. :idontno: Maybe the cooking gene and the worry gene are connected somehow? :confused: :roll:

Happily I have the cooking gene and not the worry gene. Maybe I am a mutant. :lol:

Maybe we should add Seaturtles to that list. We all :wub: are turtles.

It couldn't hurt to have faith and to ask God for help. A lot of my cooking is left in the Lord's hands and it turns out fine. At least so far everyone is still okay. Check back after supper.

No way, hoseA! ( thanks NoHall, reminds me of a joke)

I :wub: everything that Ghiradelli does.
Me too. Dk chocolate w/ orange. Yummy...

Oh please, don't worry. I once was lost but now am found, was blind but now I see...the One who died and rose again is alive and living in me!!!
Amen, sista! :clap:

I said it earlier, that worrying, in small doses, may show concern for one's own actions, and help us to focus on important things. Worrying about cooking good food, is just one example of what may make one a good cook. So, I think that it isn't ironic at all that a good cook would worry about cooking good food.

People must kill to survive. We kill plants and animals to consume or we will die.

Therefore, if you believe in divine creation, then you must accept that killing is your god's will.

Christians, in religious struggles, have been killing people in wars for numerous years, all in the name of God. Is your idea of God's Will more accurate than their's? Who's to say?

The only issue with that is a couple people that I'm referring to are full out worry warts. But that mean that they are worried about everything including cooking I guess. :wave:

I'm just happy I'm the exception to the rule.

You can have all the faith in the world, but if you don't put the fish in the pan, God isn't going to do it for you.

Now that is taking worry to the next level, which might start to turn unhealthy, IMO. :wave:

True.

But I wouldn?t recommend praying for the sea turtles if you want to save them.

Let?s all take action to protect their habitat and offer to walk the beaches in the spring to identify and protect their nests.

There are a few people out there that think we are crazy for caring so much for the sea turtles, so don't go lumping them into our boat. They probably are saddened that they can no longer legally eat sea turtles. Oh, they like them, but only for the taste.
