Interesting mix of authors... what religions are you into?

I really wish I understood math <heavy sigh>

She makes an interesting point. How does a family with a single child and younger parents, isolated from family, compare to a child with much older parents (20+ year gap)? She is right, there are many families with younger parents that have little or no contact with their relatives. I’m not sure...

This is true...very little attention has been paid to the affects of the age of older fathers (with regards to health issues or the psychological impact) because it was assumed there was none. However recent studies have shown that as men age, there is an increased risk of passing de novo...

Wow thank u guys for sharing! Lots of good points all around. It’s true that no one can truly empathize with the emotional hardships of any given persons life without having “walked a mile” in their proverbial shoes. I know all too well what it is like to be judged unfairly based on appearances...

How old were the children?

Wow. I’m glad he lived long enough to see your wedding! That must have been hard.

I’m not good at math, but I’m assuming his father is dead? How old was he when he died? The loss of a parent for those 20-30 years that children who are conceived at a relatively young age traditionally have with their parents would be significant.

I could just study Scripture for days. There is so much to learn! Thank you Dave!

One of my best friend's sister-in-law had a successful career. Her husband was 70 and she was 50. She decided she wanted a baby. So they went to a clinic, and she got pregnant with twins. One died midterm. The other was born healthy. I was really disturbed about this because of her age. And the...

well, that is not necessarily true because vegetables and plants are not considered "alive" in the same sense that animals and humans are. As I heard one person put it, they do not have the "breath of life" in them. Whether that is what the distinction is or not I don't know, but I do know that...

But how is wearing the same color gym clothes psychological torture?

Although God explicitly attributes the male gender to Himself, both males and females were created in God’s image, according to Genesis. And all throughout Scripture there are verses in which God is described with both male and female attributes (characteristics). I believe that the union...
