Funny quotes on marriage
[Copied from Maryam’s Blog]
Marriage is a three-ring circus: ? Engagement ring, wedding ring, and suffering.
~~~~~~~~
For Sale: ? Wedding dress, size 8. ? Worn once by mistake. ?
~~~~~~~~
There are two times when a man doesn’t understand a woman: ? Before marriage and after marriage.
~~~~~~~
My husband and I divorced over religious differences. ? He thought he was God, and I didn’t.
~~~~~~~
I dialed a number and got the following recording:
"I
am not available right now, but thank you for caring enough to call. I
am making some changes in my life. Please leave a message after the
beep. If I do not return your call, you are one of the changes."
~~~~~
My wife and I had words, but I didn’t get to use mine.
~~~~~
God made man before woman so as to give him time to think of an answer for her first question.

Software Engineer: Best Job In America
Thanks for the post Brent about the Money article. I wanted to link to it but couldn’t find the link. Didn’t show up in NewsGator Online or on your homepage.
1. Software Engineer- (Avg salary: $80,500. 10-Year Growth 46%, Avg Annual Job Openings 44,800)
Why it’s great Software engineers are needed in virtually every
part of the economy, making this one of the fastest-growing job titles
in the U.S. Even so, it’s not for everybody.
Designing, developing and testing computer programs requires some
pretty advanced math skills and creative problem-solving ability. If
you’ve got them, though, you can work and live where you want:
Telecommuting is quickly becoming widespread.
The profession skews young — the up-all-night-coding thing gets tired
— but consulting and management positions aren’t hard to come by once
you’re experienced.
What’s cool Cutting-edge projects, like designing a new video
game or tweaking that military laser. Extra cash from freelance gigs.
Plus, nothing says cool like great prospects.
What’s not Jobs at the biggest companies tend to be less
creative (think Neo, pre-Matrix). Outsourcing is a worry. Eyestrain and
back, hand and wrist problems are common.
Top-paying job Release engineers, who are responsible for the final version of any software product, earn six figures.
Education Bachelor’s degree, but moving up the ladder often requires a master’s.

Is the Bible Error free?
Why Biblical Inerrancy Isn’t Important.
Unless, of course, your faith, or lack thereof, needs it to be.
"…Here’s a good reference
as to why many believe the Bible to be a fallible work of men. For an
in-depth argument that the Bible is inerrant, and a list of possible
explanations of commonly perceived errors, here’s a good link. For a good overview of inerrancy, try here, or here.
Whatever our beliefs, we are all served by knowledge and understanding.
If what we believe is valid, no insult or abuse can really tarnish it,
nor should we fear critical discussion of it. Blind bias is the only
thing we need to fear."
