    This is a great teaching and definitely something I'd highly recommend for any genuine seeker of truth:

    Also, if you've ever wondered why so many so-called self professing Christians don't live or act like Christians, then you may also find this interesting.

    1 hour and 18 minutes?!? Do you have a 2 min version of this? Something in a cartoon format?

    An hour and 18 minutes isn't that long compared to eternity.

    Why would I waste time trying to figure out your god? I'm still trying to figure out mine.

    There are so many ways to spend an hour and 18 minutes that I would put ahead of this, including 16.8 seven minute abs workouts, listen to runnin' with the devil ~ 35 times or watching 9.8 quarters of basketball. And with no atempt to even explain what is on the video, I'll move on and let you share with the already converted.

    Again, your choice. Your wrestle is not with me, but with God.

    Thank you, I know your intent is good and I appreciate you trying to watch out for those you feel need help. However, I am not wrestling with god, the concept of God, or anything related. I'm good. I love and have love, it's just with not with God but with my relationships.

    My last post was a little snarky, sorry. Sometimes I jump to the wrong point.

    It's all good, I had a much longer post typed out but I decided to not engage in it. This thread is for people who are open to spiritual things and understand that not only is this world not good, but they themselves are depraved. As it says in Scripture, God resists the proud and gives grace to the humble.

    Edit: I'm not necessarily saying you are proud either, that's not for me to decide. That Scripture is just an important thing to keep in mind when trying to bring people into the things of God.

    Good luck, I'm ok with being depraved.

    It's October 30th. The wife and I decide to celebrate Halloween a little early. A couple glasses of wine later and she's enjoying herself up top, maybe a little too much. I almost ask her to take it easy, but what the hell. It's a holiday. Then it happens. She pounces up with the grace of a jaguar. I'm unprepared. I miss the rhythm and she's up a little too high. I know what's about to happen but am powerless to stop it. I slip out, she leans forward, I hope to pull an Ed Harris into the abyss but end up more Kurt Russell as stuntman mike. For the first time in twenty years, I pray.

    Flash forward. It's November 1st, 9 a.m. I am still a little sore, and I notice my piss the past day has been a soil brown color. Ever an optimist, I power through the bruising and wake my wife up to finish what we started. It hurts a bunch, but like they say, no pain no gain. We finish without incident.

    My piss becomes increasingly darker as the day goes on. We find a mysterious streak of blood in a wet spot on the bed. By 9 p.m. I am pissing what looks like a red sweetheart.

    We fly for vacation in New York at 6 a.m., about 8 hours from now. My wife's birthday is coming up and I bought her tickets to see the Dalai Lama and The Lion King. My dick feels bruised but looks normal. It is not fractured. Discomfort is more roots than trunk. I'm going to bed now. I know the advice will be "go see a doctor," but besides the blood everything is running as it should. I don't know if it's worth cancelling the trip for. Nothing like this has ever happened to me. I don't really know what the problem could be, because there is no visible evidence of trauma. I thought maybe UTI, but It doesn't hurt or sting to pee (I've never had one but WebMD covers the basics).

    Anyone had something like this happen to them before?

    Forget about it, 60% chance your penis stays attached on its own.




    Edit: santeesioux, your post got my rep for perfect thread placement, but seriously, see a doctor!
