I love our local humanist group but it would be cool to get a group together of folks in the southeast US. Ted and I are in the upstate of SC and i know there are a couple folks in NC… how about Georgia? would be cool to get together sometime

Emily Riley started the topic I love David, Yes I do! I love David, How 'bout YOU? in the forum Family & Friends 1 year ago
since David has been getting significant backlash (http://youtu.be/v7Su5xd18TU) lately for his John McArthur post, I wanted to start a post with specific ways that David has helped us. In my former church days we would have called this “pointing out evidences of grace.” Bleh… the cliche language still gets me. today i simply call it helping to…[Read more]

Granted, I am not working this summer due to several surgeries and health issues so I’ve got extra time but its been a long time since I had the desire to be creative at all. I…[Read more]

I grew up IFB and basically got shunned Amish style. about three years later I ended up at a sovereign grace church where I attended and loved it for 9 years…up until a year ago. it was my home. they were my family. and then life fell apart.
