    Settling for someone you're not attracted to

    Thanks. I had a woman do that to me a few months ago. She contacted me and indicated her interest in me. After a couple of weeks of communicating with each other and indicating our interest in each other, we arranged a day for her to come spend some time with me. I finally thought that God had...

    The 800-Pound Gorilla in the Room (Literally)

Obese children have been known to...

    Mel Gibson's rant/ women's sizes.

    I'm not joining in the bashing of Mel Gibson, because I am well aware of who hates him and why. Please keep in mind that Whoopi Goldberg and Mel Gibson are personal friends, and that Whoopi Goldberg says he treats her children extremely well.

    What gives you hope?

    Is Drinking Alcohol a sin

    We've had beer at a couple of our lunches in the fellowship hall. I haven't visited my pastor at his home yet, but I am 99.9% sure he would offer me a beer if I did.

    Should Christian go to Night Clubs & Bar

    I've been to a bar once or maybe twice (it's been a while). I don't like the cigarette smoke and the cussing. The beer is great, it's just too expensive. I used to go to a restaurant a lot that had 14 ounce mugs of beer for a dollar. I was a regular there until they upped the price to 2 bucks...
