Comment on My Fear of Doctors (Caution: TMI Alert) by Angel

Thanks for your encouragement, Amy! The new doctor I had today was so wonderful! She did tell me to breathe deeply throughout the whole process, she was fast and efficient and made me feel so at ease. Plus she used plastic rather than metal instruments. It felt much less scary than before. Praise God

My first pap smear was in Mexico when I was already about 9 weeks pregnant and it was still not a pleasant experience. In fact, I fought my doctor in the US when he insisted I get another one a month later (I lost). But the good thing: it’s so fast in the big scheme of things. So many crazy things happen to our cervices throughout womanhood, and yet, as with childbirth, God made our bodies able to withstand a lot more than we think we can. I think breathing out as any instruments are inserted really helps. After enduring your pap smear, you’ll feel that much more empowered! Good luck!

Extremely interesting since I have never heard of tonsil stones before! Had my tonsils and adenoids removed when I was 5 yrs old. Doc said it would stave off a multitude of disease-related issues.

I went thru a 3-yr period in my adult life when I was lactose intolerant. Just want to remind you that your body chemistry and cells completely change and are renewed every 7 yrs; therefore, certain health problems may only last a certain period of time. I also became allergic to antipersperant and perfume, but both of those disappeared after a year of non-use.

I’m thinking that you’re having to go thru a lot in daily life (not to mention expense) to cope with those tonsil stones! I’d research the idea of getting your tonsils/adenoids removed for a better quality of life (in many ways)!

That is rather unpleasant. Is removing your tonsils an option (I guess not a cheap one…)?

(feel free to delete this comment if you want) Hey! It’s Josh from tonsil-help.com. Feel free to say no, but is there any way that you could change the link to my website, to “tonsil stones” instead of website? I greatly appreciate the link!

You could possibly say “found this amazing ‘tonsil stones’ website”, where tonsil stones is the link. I’m trying to beat tonsilstones.com which is endorsed by therabreath (which doesn’t work for tonsil stones!)

Take care!

Comment on How do we interpret Scripture? by Martha

I do love reading these.

I come from a little bit different background then you do. And I really like the diagrams. First thing I thought though, is that its still a lot more complex then the diagram. I would think that some of the authors were actually inspired by Jesus himself. And most of them probably had a lot more thought and insight then what they wrote in the Bible. Because a lot of things they considered common, they didn’t record and it was just assumed that everybody knew those “things”. And so we must take even the Bible with a grain of salt, just as we do everything else.
I think the second picture is much more realistic.

I do read the Bible, but not as often as I should, or not as much as my protestant friends. Maybe its because I don’t read it as much as I should, but I don’t feel that I would flippantly refer to the Bible as God’s Word. It is the Word of God, I love calling it that, because it has meaning for me. Just like I love to call Jesus the Sacrificial Lamb, because it is quite meaningful to me.

Or maybe I don’t like to use those names as often so they don’t become ordinary. Kinda like the Voldermort vs He Who Must not be named… if that makes any sense.

My favorite part of what you wrote is under point #3. You just put words to something I’ve been trying to figure out how to say for like 10 years.

Very well thought out.
And happy birthday.

You even included Swahili in your title. That’s cool.

Wow, this is a lot longer than I expected. Yeah, its good. This is a healthy response to a dangerous overemphasis by evangelicals. I have a blog post I’ve been working on that’s somewhat similar that I should finish up and post.

Thank you for this

Comment on Post wedding stress disorder by Matt

I’m going to go out on a limb, and say that guys probably don’t suffer from PWSD. You know, when Angel was throwing up her guts, I was like, “hm, wonder what’s bothering her?” Well, not that bad. Anyway, I felt relieved, like “Phew, glad that’s over”, and then I could sit back and enjoy not having all of my time and money go to the wedding.
