I'm sure Live Target are good frogs, but I don't understand why anyone would want/need that much detail on their frog. The only thing a fish sees is the bottom.

Yeah I agree it doesn't matter what the top of the frog looks like but live target/spro/booyah they all make em with a lot of detail on top. Probably because it looks awesome and gets people to buy it.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Live Target hollow body frogs. That's pretty much all I've thrown for the past month and the bass are hammering it.

I don't think the debate is about what people enjoy. People enjoy all kinds of harmful things. Just because something is enjoyed doesn't mean it's good and should be encouraged.

Male and female anatomy is quite obviously complimentary. It is incredibly obvious that men and women are made to have sex with each other. And it is completely obvious that homosexual sex is a perversion of what our bodies were made to do. I mean isn't it obvious?

Checkout the area between Greenville/Skillman/Lovers/Mockingbird. Lived there for a while. It's a great location. I lived at The Standard.

Ravi Zacharias is brilliant at exposing the emptiness of atheism.

John Piper is awesome. Love his sermons on Christian hedonism and sorrowful yet always rejoicing.

I'm a member of Brookhills. Sad to see Platt go but excited for what God is doing through him.

This is the answer. This is the answer to poor grades, poverty, drugs, crime.

The absence of marriage is what causes all of the problems of the black community. Marriage is the foundation of a healthy society.

You're right Christians didn't invent marriage. God did. And he clearly defines it as a union of one man and one woman. It is a sacred relationship that represents Christ and the church. That's why it is not ok to redefine it. That's why Christians fight this battle.

Going on about 10 months. Porn is a terrible thing. Especially for a marriage. I've heard people talk about what it did to their lives and marriages. Thankfully I stopped all that before I got married.
