McDonald's, unsweetened.

SolaDude, from my mom’s diaries I learned that between the time we were shunned as a family and my mom leaving church then returning to church, she was having affairs, dancing, drinking, smoking — all very uncharacteristic and unusual for her.

Thank you. SolaDude, my mom actually lived a "double-life" for awhile that I didn't learn about until she gave me her diaries. I didn't read them until she passed away in 2008. Going back to the cofC for her was just something she needed to feel "righteous" and "right with ...

My thought would be that most likely, your CofC views the United States of America as a theocracy, so all of the Old Testament stories it uses w...

Welcome aboard. Feel free to share anything you'd like, we're all I think still recovering as well.
