A world where everyone was the same and ate the same food or liked the same music or talked with the same accent would be awful; God specifically created variety and for us to enjoy different things. A jigsaw puzzle makes one whole picture but all the parts are individual and different. So is the human race, and so are the gifts God gives to us all.<br /><br />As for the little Englanders, of all classes, I have little time for them at all, especially as some of them border on xenophobic racists who hate Irish people, Scottish people etc. If you meet a little Englander abroad, the first thing you want to do is get as far away from them as possible.<br /><br />Most importantly, I will pray for you and your wife tonight Frank.T-Childshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14973808285834438472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5412187929957069944.post-7463727236453584982013-10-19T09:08:11.168-07:002013-10-19T09:08:11.168-07:00Hi Frank!

He has had a VERY high fever and other symptoms, but they cannot figure out what is wrong. <br />Now, as far as your post. I enjoyed it very much. I'm in total agreement with you. There are just SOME jobs that women shouldn't do. Not because of their lack of ability, but because women should remain feminine. God tells us in his word that women should not dress as men, nor men women. Well, I just cannot picture a chimney sweep wearing a dress, (short of Mary Poppins, haha!). Nor can I picture her being in the coal mines in a dress. It just isn't feasable. I can't help but feel that God made different genders for a reason, and we should stick to them. I know I have probably ruffled some women's feathers and for that I am sorry. I used to wear pants and act just like "one of the guys" until I developed a relationship with God and started digging into His Word to find out His desires for me. It changed my whole outlook on the role of the genders.<br /><br />Again, I will be praying for your wife. I hope she gets better soon. We must just remember, that Jesus is the ultimate physician. According to His Word, He tells us"if ye abide in me, and my Words in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you." Therefore, I ask, "in the Name of Jesus, heal Frank's wife. Not only heal her and make her better, but make her whole again. Just as before she got sick. God bless you and your wife, Frank.<br /><br />PJPJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02807442587587976098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5412187929957069944.post-20506262848617648832013-10-14T11:22:16.318-07:002013-10-14T11:22:16.318-07:00Great post Frank.

God repeatedly said it is and attitude he hates, and Jesus forbid Christians to set themselves above others or even to use titles to do so. He repeatedly condemned the Pharisees for doing so. There is nothing Christian about competition, it appeals solely to the flesh and destroys human relationships, yet we are constantly encouraged to compete. While the need to compete for survival is often pointed out to show that we cannot escape it, that need is the result of human sin, not god's design.<br /><br />Donald Fishgrabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11977970195032209188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5412187929957069944.post-89153849997427908742013-10-14T11:16:44.619-07:002013-10-14T11:16:44.619-07:00Dear Brenda,

There is a vast difference between being masculine and being feminine and there is no way that I would want to be masculine in my ways. I love the relationship between myself and my husband and there are things that we each do that the other can not do, blending together as one.Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16165344093549650260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5412187929957069944.post-54990927596307005952013-10-13T19:39:46.881-07:002013-10-13T19:39:46.881-07:00Dear Frank,

The truth is that many don't, adding to the rising divorce rate. God's plan for marriage works -- the wife respecting and submitting herself to her husband, who loves her self-sacrificingly as Christ loved the church and gave Himself for it. But sadly, many do not fulfill these roles. Sadder still, the feminist "ideal" does not even value this plan, and in their battle for equality, they lose many privileges and blessings that God intended for women. <br />Thanks as always for the great post, and God bless!<br />LaurieLaurie Colletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10676088158113572565noreply@blogger.com
