God intended for marriage to reflect the way our relationship with him is from the very beginning. How can a pastor lead a congregation of followers into relationship with the Lord, if they do not understand how God has ordained our relationships/marriages? I fully believe though that women and divorced people should be able to be ordained ministers. (so i don't have @mishmelle after me :) ) He has called us into relationship...period.

I myself need to work on not being "quick to judge" to others and the things they do that I do not believe is right. It's such a hard line to walk sometimes, especially since I'm a very "everything is black and white" kind of thinker. But I pose this question, what does a non-believer think after reading all the comments and replies? When I put on my non-believer "thinking hat" on I come to this conclusion, "Man, there's a lot of separation in the church. Why would I want to be apart of something where people just argue their view-point all the time?" Comments like "I'm VERY frustrated with you" really don't help someone see Christ's LOVE through us. Not trying to point anyone out, just want everyone who posts to remember that we are witnesses no matter the "kind" of communication we use. With that aside....When are we supposed to let others know what they are doing "wrong"? Are we only supposed to support fellow brothers and sisters in Christ by keeping each other accountable? "Am I my brother's keeper?"

When I see something in my ActionScript 3.0 book that I know I will be using quite frequently, I take a snap shot of it, tag it, then I will be able to search it later. I am hoping that it will help me with my development when I can quickly find my notes on a specific topic, instead of pulling out my book, going to the index, then searching for that piece of "code".
