I was a part of the Stars Program in high school, and it is STAGGERING how many girls/boys have had sex in 7th & 8th grade, let alone are practicing oral and other way adult things. And yes, God always answers prayers...sometimes the ones we don't even pray. When Ty and I were visiting our daughter and her adoptive parents in Seattle about 4 years ago, the battery in our car died. We got a salesman from a Volvo dealership to drive us across the freeway to a NAPA Auto store. We went to buy the new battery, but telecheck doesn't like credit union checks, so it wouldn't go through. The Volvo salesman bought the battery for us, and I wrote him a check for the full amount. On the way home, we saw a bright neon sign on the side of the highway that said "God Loves You." We have never seen that sign on the highway again, and that check I wrote the salesman was never cashed. Angel? Answered prayer? I think so. :love: Sorry for being so talky...I'm in a really good mood this morning lol.

CristalBelle Posts: 1,389 Joined: 2003/06/27	2006/11/10, 12:30 PM Lol..normally I would say so, but the circumstances and the fact that the check was never cashed....I can't come up with any other conclusion. :big_smile:
