'Carleejoan', in the interest of making this thread more interesting (I'm so selfless), I will tell you
an incident from my pre-salvation days!
I was about 10 years old, and I gave clear evidence of the depravity of my heart, being
very greedy! I 'selflessly' stomped up and down the streets of our neighborhood, collecting
dimes for the March of Dimes!
I was doing VERY WELL in that pursuit and wound up with a pint-sized canning jar full of dimes.
All was well, until my greedy little heart got to thinkin' about the possibilities of having all the
candy I'd ever dreamed of (and believe me I had dreams of LOTS of candy)! All I'd have to do,
is take that jar FULL of dimes to the corner store and purchase my wicked little heart's content,
a literal 'dream' coming true'!!!
The problem with the success of my plan, is that the very grumpy, unpleasant old guy who rented
that place (from MY GRANDMOTHER!!) was very suspicious of me having that many dimes and
the freedom to spend them all at one time! I don't think I ever (in all the years he had that store)
saw a smile break through that stubby-faced, nasty wet-cigar sucking man! Ughh! 
While I stood at his counter, drooling all over it in 'sweet' anticipation of 'the great haul' I was about
to make, and trying to decide which ones of the masses of candy jars I was going to empty with my
loot--he was sneakily phoning my grandmother!! 
Very quickly, to my utter disappointment and eventual shame, my evil plot was foiled! 
I made the additional mistake of telling my husband about this, in one of those times when you
'tell all' and needless to say, I will never live it down!! He loves to tease me, in telling everyone,
about the HORRIBLE crime I committed in trying to steal money--from the all the poor little kids
of the MARCH OF DIMES, of all things!
It really was a terrible thing my evil heart had hatched!!!

I question whether you should be allowed to post in Faithwalk after that revelation.

ah! Human Christians are sometime more shocking than the others. We expect the non-C's to do some of the things that they do but when we learn that a "Christian" has done this or that, we are shocked with disbelief.
So, y'all please stop reading the bible/devotion while in the john.

I used to smoke in parties. I am social drinker. I buy a bottle of wine for Xmas and special occasions. There is nothing wrong with these things - except for tobacco - if we use them wisely.
I also swim wearing swimsuit and I feel guilty about it. I just wonder "Does God want us not to enjoy swimming?"

Ok, shocking revelations.
Before I got saved, I wanted to be . . . a witch. Yeap, that's right. I was into Dungeons and Dragons and all kinds of weird stuff. But Jesus snatched me up.
My next shocking revelation.
I like to eat . . . frozen pie filling. Yeap, you read that right. I open a can of pie filling, any kind, eat part of it, then freeze the rest and eat. YUM!!!

why would you feel guilty about wearing a swimsuit? It's better than going naked.

Walker, you seem to have an obsession with the toilet, today 
I hope that does not offend. I'm sorry if it does........
