Have you changed the way you feel about things since you began reading blogs? I have strong feeling on certain things but I don’t always know why I feel the way I do. Was I born with the feelings or did I learn them. When did I decide that I felt certain ways about marriage, religion, politics and other subjects? The Internet has given me a safe place to check out how other people feel about things. I hate confrontation so I shy away from debates in public arenas. I do enjoy hearing both sides of an issue when I can read about it online.

I came across an interesting blog called formykountry that deals with all sorts of topics. The author comes from a very different background than the one I came from. That makes it all the more interesting to me! I particularly enjoyed one article. #50-10 dealt with the standard set of questions that the Catholic Church asked couples when they were preparing for marriage. Hubby and I had to go through that in our church. We were asked what our thoughts were on raising children, birth control and financial ideas just to name a few. The article, Sex or Ice Cream, dealt with a hypothetical situation in which you were stranded on a desert island. I won’t tell you about the rest of the article so that you can see how the question was set up and the rules were put into play. All I will say that it makes you think!

The writing on this blog comes from all different angles and covers a vast array of subjects. It is a wonderful blog to get your mental juices flowing. Check it out.
